Phil Lynott on vocals & Bass and the incomparable guitar duo of Mr. But as I would come to fall in love with the classic line up of Thin Lizzy, which of course is Brian Downey on drums, the MAN. It took this kid years to track down ALL of their records on vinyl, because at the time (mid '80's into the early '90's) CD's were not around yet & then when they were, Lizzy's back catalog were only available as Japanese imports (Thank God for the Japanese and their love for all of the underground Hard Rock/Metal of the '70's, '80's & '90's!!!!). You could hum it & it was cool.Īs I grew up and REALLY got into Lizzy, which would really be around 1983-1984 with their last record, the AMAZING Thunder & Lightning, I would come to appreciate and completely idolize all things Lizzy. The kind of car that had the antenna in the windshield!! So without saying, the reception was not the greatest, but the seed had been planted & I knew that cool harmony guitar line. But as most kids in the USA in 1977, I had heard the song "Boys Are Back In Town", it was blazing a trail on AM radio & I can remember hearing it while driving with my Mom in her dark green Chevy Nova.
Where were you when Thin Lizzy rolled into the Tower Theater just outside Philadelphia to record & play a sold out show on their Bad Reputation tour? Me? I was 10 years old and it would be another few years until I would truly discover the majesty of Phil Lynott & the boys.
