Emerald is my favourite Thin Lizzy song as well.

Mastodon used to do a ferocious cover of it live. Sounds blasphemous at first, but it was simultaneously a respectful homage and a devastating new take.

Thin Lizzy is the best Irish band ever to have been fronted by a black junkie, hands down.

You clearly haven't heard Ike Turner and the Knobby Shillelaghs.

Thin Lizzy still wins, followed by Sly and the Family McDougle, THEN Ike and the Knobbies.

Ten Hail Marys and I'll forgive you.

Awesome!

Got the Peel album last year for Christmas. Gotta say...much as I love John Peel comps, I'll still take "Live and Dangerous"...

my lord do i love this band. have been listening to them quite a bit lately; especially the bad reputation LP....so under-appreciated, such great pop sensibilities. All those years spent in the 1970's listening to Kiss...if only I'd been hip to lizzy back then

Have been enjoying the 1978 Sydney concert:

What's the deal on the P. Lynott biopic? Anybody know if it will happen (or maybe already did)?

My love for this band knows no bounds. Besides, how can you ever go wrong with a bass-player-fronted band?


ok, so there's kiss & rush, fuck you
