I just feel very alone in thinking that they are AT BEST a B-Level classic rock band that I am REALLY sick of hearing about lately. No one cared a few years ago, now all of a sudden I got friends with Phil Lynott tattoos and Thin Lizzy are the new trendy band to like. (and before any fans wet themselves, I'm not saying that's why EVERYONE likes them) There's something on Blabbermouth every day about them, memorials are going up. Why now? Who cares?

Right here Thin Lizzy Right here.

and here I thought dykes like thin lizzy

you're so funny

I get that a lot.
usualy when I'm wearing hotpants.

I'd think that was hot if I wasn't such a big thin lizzy hatin dyke.

pam, don't mind aaron, i think he's drunk...
he just told me to read this thread and he couldn't stop laughing and then while he laughed he read it to me

don't let metal george find out about this thread. i do see what you're saying. it seems like out of nowhere everyone got obsessed with thin lizzy. i have to disagree about them being a b-level classic rock band though. i think they were great, but i don't suck their balls as much as everyone else does. they aren't one of my favorite bands and they never will be. i'm just as puzzled as you are when it comes to figuring out why everyone likes them now for some reason.

fat lizzy is way better

You probably hate MOTORHEAD too, you retarded cunt.

no dykes like throwing shrapnel and lizzy started gaining attention by mainstream when mastodon re released remission. but then again i grew up in the 80s and loved thin lizzy thanks to films like 48hours and another 48hours.

edited cause i forgot to mention mastodon did the track emerald. but you all knew that

really?, I started liking them after Metallica covered "Whiskey In The Jar"...damnit, where's the sarcasm button on this thing? I was listening to Mastodon's version of The Emerald yesterday...I actually like it more than the original.

biggest pile of fuckin wankers is what u cunts r thin lizzy is a fucking unbelieveable band obviously u fucking cunts dont know what the fuck good music is...get ur heads out of your holes so ur ears can hear good music...fucking nobs the lot of uz...R.I.P Phil Lynott best bassist ever

ThePunkTerrorist said:

You are so incredibly wrong. He's not even the second best bass player to ever die prematurely, much less of all time. (Roger Patterson & Cliff Burton. Case closed.) As much as I admire and respect Thin Lizzy for what they were, ( think the whole "from the streets drunken Irish rocker" thing was a great vibe,) I can't get on the bandwagon either. They had a handful of decent songs, but how can you compare them to bands like Sabbath or Zeppelin or The Who? They didn't have that many hits, and even after having heard most of their material, I would listen to a couple dozen other bands of their style from that era.

You should know better than to come to a site full of musicians and say shit that is completely baseless and open to attack... Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Stu Hamm, Tony Choy, Steve DiGiorgio, Bootsy Collins, Frank Bello, Robert Trujillo, John Paul Jones, John Entwistle, Noel Redding, Geezer Butler, those are just dudes off the top of my head who were better. Need I continue? Seriously, even bassists who are marginal by today's standards are better than he was, and if he were alive today I doubt he would have improved all that much since being alive would've meant that he finally had the sense to leave the music business before it killed him. My buddy George, whether he would admit it or not, would give Phil a run for his money these days, musicians are just far more advanced far sooner in their careers to make a comparison, but saying some shit like that prompts a response, sorry.

UH OH, Beware the Irish/English Punk Guy!

Everyone just likes Phil now because of his 'skinny' jeans.

I like Thin Lizzy

*shrugs*

I do too, I like buttloads of terrible music.

i'm with you Pam, i don't get the hype either.

i love thin lizzy. best rock band ever, imo.

i was just listening to cowboy song last night, song rules

Thin Lizzy is the shit

Sorry Chris, but you're wrong too. The correct answer is Jaco. :P

dreadkill said:

George is probably the REASON for Pam's thread and hate. Even if it was my favorite band of all time, I'd grow to hate something that someone shoved down my throat on a daily basis. Also, from now on I refuse to call him Metal George because that's the dumbest nickname ever, Melodic Metal Ken.

There is no better way to celebrate a birthday and piss off your faggot roommates than inviting some friends over, blasting "Jailbreak" and taking turns doing David Lee Roth jump kicks off the back of your living room couch from 2-4:30 am.

It's an experience made even better by the fact that said faggot roommates have to get up for work at 6:30.

goddamn, that's the kind of shit I live for.

youngin's

when they're rocking they're rocking but their ballady songs are some cornball shit. I didn't even know Phil Lynott died.

I'm a TL fan...

hating thin lizzy is not an option

KillerKadoogan said:

Yup... Back in '86

RichHorror said:

hahahaha, i was joking. i know george is in fact the reason pam hates thin lizzy. that's why i said it. isn't he called metal horatio now? i remember a drunk guy at the palladium calling him george the metal. i feel like i'm forgetting another george nickname.

George The Metal is what they call him in Germany. Like Moogadeth.

Beorht-Dana said:

I hear you, there's another one, so he's not even 3rd. I'll bet there are at least another half dozen dead bass players out there that I can't remember who are better than Phil.

He was a McNegro

Thin Lizzy rules. you are misinformed.

She's a woman. Same thing.

BobNOMAAMRooney nli said:

I am so very confused

I dunno Pam, I'll have to disagree with you on this one. Thin Lizzy is just FUN, pure and simple.

i'm sure it was just temporary insanity.

i am not gonna read this thread.. i am just gonna say this

FUCK YOU THIN LIZZY FUCKIN RULES YOU FUCKIN N00B GTFO

i just think it's funny that this thread has been brought back to life after HTL killed it almost 2 years ago

If you were a REAL American, you would spell 'your' correctly. Get out of here you terrorist. You Al-Quaida supporter. I bet you have a... I bet you have a copy of the "Communist Manifesto" in your nightstand drawer, don't you? Don't you?

oh, and thin lizzy is a good band who released some really great songs at best - but never maintained a career that would have established them as one of the best . they're like the pearl jam of the 70s and 80s. do you see this george? do you see me comparing thin lizzy to pearl jam?
