I love this video. I was born in Dublin in 79 and remember driving through the city with my parents seeing some of the sites in the video, which was filmed in the early 80s. There is no ships or dock cranes that far up the river anymore, the gasometer is gone. Ha'penny bridge has been rebuilt. I loved the old Ha'penny bridge, the iron was swollen with rust, various bits of metal brackets were holding it together and the deck was made from rotten scaffolding planks covered in tar, you could the river below through the holes!
Wrong....that’s how Phil looked in the mid sixties sitting on the parapet of O’Connell Bridge in the centre of Dublin...he was sixteen at the time...waiting for his band mates...they were called “The Black Eagles”...I used to see him all the time..they had a room above a Chinese restaurant...they used to have little afternoon gigs there😁...thank you for the reaction...this is one of my favourite songs🤩
@@CanadianReacts Its great. I'm living on an island off an island. Penghu Island.In the south east of Asia. Taiwanese straits. First point of contact when the Chinese decide to invade :) Us Irish are everywhere. I have Covid fatigue. Lockdowns followed swiftly by openings. And back to lockdown again.Had my AZ fax, that was a fun response. How are you Mr. B? Where are you?
@@CanadianReacts that you reacted to Phil lynott or thin Lizzy with Gary Moore on guitar fantastic . Oh can you react to Gary Moore of thin Lizzy on his own singing still got the blues for you live in Dublin I think it will blow your mind lad honestly
@@CanadianReacts yes he toured with Lizzy in the 70s early 80s he done a tribute to Phil and the boys are back in town , he also played believe it or not whistle on a bit of their tour ,also midge ure also tour with Lizzy he formed band aid with Bob geldolf , he was lead singer with Ultravox big hit in Europe sorry bout going on bout Europe lad it was called Vienna
Sorry, your syllables are a little messed up, maybe its the way it reads. Its (take away the letters)lin/net. Phil Lin/net. Not Line, as in , "walk the line".
@@thebillryan LINE is how the man himself pronounced it. Watch this video th-cam.com/video/-sR61Nu6FqE/w-d-xo.html and go to 3:51, 4:01, 4:48 to hear the correct pronunciation.
@@jackcarter5101 Are you Irish? No disrespect. but nobody in Ireland pronounces it the way you do. I remember having the same disagreement about Bowie and how it should be pronounced. Even Bowie didn't know. Glad you enjoyed the video mate. You may have taken my response too serious. It's just music. No harm meant.

That’s cool. Great video for sure. I love the people that can’t believe what they are seeing
Greatest Irish rock star ever
I really enjoyed this one
True
Phil Lynott was a star in ireland and Britain so seeing him walking through Dublin anyone would look. He was superstar .
Great video
The video was shot In Dublin. Phils hometown. He was a very proud Irish man and words would be said if anybody got that wrong. Lol
Thanks Maria, the Irish are a very proud people I've noticed.

I’m learning a lot doing this channel. Thanks
Phil Lynott, yet another great talent lost too young
I forgot to mention that Thin Lizzy were a big influence of Huey Lewis (my favourite group in high school) and I can really hear a similarity.
👍👍Phil was a bass player and singer. Gary Moore played with the band for while, between 1974 and 1979
thanks Donall
@@CanadianReacts and thank you👍
His mother, Philomena Lynott is Irish and his father, Cecil Parris is Afro-Guyanese from Georgetown, Guyana.
Excellent information, thanks!
'The Long Hall,'
A pub in Dublin, Ireland.
Ps best wishes to you from Dublin!
Take care.
Thanks Christopher, Thin Lizzy is a major influence of Huey Lewis, my favourite band growing up.
Interviewer: What's it like to be Black and Irish?
Phil Lynot: It's like a pint of Guinness.
🤣🤣🤣
Thin Lizzy were an influence of Huey Lewis
Dublin from Taiwan says hello. Nobody every...thank you.

@@CanadianReacts Apologies for the flame war above. I'm in my fifties. Should have known better.

@@CanadianReacts Thanks man. Like the show and the fact that your responding to some very underexposed classics. Good stuff. Have a good one.
I love lynott and lizzy
I'd recommend cowboy song live from Sydney Opera House
Thanks John.
Forget Bono or 'The Hedge,'
Phil Lynott was the best musician to ever come from Dublin, Ireland!
ps Ed Sheeran is British!
Great video, I’d love to do more but I’m trying to figure please everyone, 😆
Van Morrison?

The 70s
Thanks

Cheers
Lynott is pronounced LINE-ott, not LINN-ott, but great reaction all the same!
THANKS JACK!! Its the Irish pronunciations that really get me, lol

Sorry Jack. And Mr. B. Trust the Irish to get into an argument over semantic vowels.
