The lead singer Phil Lynott was once asked "What is it like to be black and Irish". He replyed "Like a pint of Guinness". Best response to that question there has ever been.
In the late 80s when i was in primary school and starting to fall in love with music i would get confused with PHIL and JIMI HENDRIX. Then once my parents educated me LENNY KRAVITS showed up and i thought YOU UTTER TOTAL IMPOSTER😁😉😋
I saw Phil just last week in Dublin. Signed an autograph for me. He told a couple of the greatest stories about touring with the band. He said a Thin Lizzy reunion has been discussed. Actually started cracking up laughing at the stories about his death, which clearly are not true
@@stanleymasterson1135 Phil Lynott died in 1986. His mother used to visit his grave every day and there is a memorial statue of him in Dublin. Whoever you were talking to wasn't him. th-cam.com/video/jqaYXqhWxz8/w-d-xo.html
@@rahshaanmuhammad1671 yes when I first discovered them they were in Gary IN. Then over Christmas they said they were in Indianapolis perhaps they were just visiting there for the Holidays vs moving. Either way no matter where they live so glad I stumbled across their channel back in our first lockdown here in Michigan now on our second lockdown slowly opening up some schools and restaurants February 1 st. TY
Philip lynott (lie net not linnet) the lead singer grew up around the corner from my parents home. He was literally the only black kid in the area. Ireland only started to be mixed with other races in the 2000s due go immigration here. He always had swagger and was in bands from his early teens. I can thank him for my existence as my parents met at a youth club dance that Philip and his band before lizzy (skid row) played at. Dad was childhood friend. The day it was announced Phil had died was one of few times I saw dad upset. He is old school doesn't show emotion. Phil would be 70 now and for his birthday the Irish postal service issued a stamp in honour of him with a black rose. Other songs of note to look at are dancing in the moonlight, old town and the ballad Sarah he wrote for his first child. Mammy and daddy both loved your reaction.
@@nieochaidh683 not if you know the family you dont. I am correct. His cousins went to school with me and my sisters. Dad palled around with him as a kid and teen. All of them use the lie net pronounciation
Yeah, his mom gave him to her mother to raise. I guess that thing happens a lot everywhere. I know she had challenges raising a Black child in Ireland. I heard her talk about it in an interview. I am Black and spent a lot of time in England. Much to my surprise I got asked out a lot by Irish guys. What was up with that? Anyway, this is one of my favorite songs too.
I saw the statue of him when I visited Dublin and the pubs..lol The Citadel Military College, where I live, used to play this song when the Cadets would come back in town after summer break., cadets would also hang out at a place called Dino's. Great song..
@@adc2327 I think his mother was in England with him and then sent him to her mother in Ireland. He said that he never felt discriminated against growing up in Ireland. He was one of the cool kids according to school friends
@@MVK123 I heard his mother interviewed. She said when he was little people would come up to him and ask for his curls, since they didn't have any. Then they would say take your curls and go back to Africa. Sounds like she remembers it differently.
Most underrated band in the history of rock and roll! I will scream that till the end of time! Phil Lynott's vocals have both that cool ass, old school r&b and blues swagger and that Irish music storyteller sloppiness thats undeniable as shit! And thats not even talking about the rest of the band. This is good song, but "Jailbreak" is their other hit, and I think its a little bit better.
the band took their name after Tin Lizzie, a robot character in the Scottish cartoon strip, “The Dandy.” They added the “H” to “Tin” to reflect that fact that the Irish are famous for dropping their H's.
If I hear a radio DJ in the US mention this band they always pronounce it as Thin Lizzie, with the h sound included. If I hear anyone talking about them in Ireland, it is pronounced as Tin. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an American call them Tin Lizzie. And if I pronounce the band’s name as Tin Lizzie here in the states, they will tell me it is pronounced as Thin. It’s like the name Thomas - the h is silent I say.
Clare M I live in the US, but do actually know the pronunciation, and have always said it T’in Lizzy since I was a kid. Fun fact sidebar- lead/rhythm guitarist/vocalist of The Darkness Dan Hawkins almost always wears a Thin Lizzy t shirt as part of his stage wear. He has tons of them.
I never knew Thin Lizzy sang a song with that title. King Harvest’s “Dancing in the Moonlight” is one of my favorite songs. th-cam.com/video/g5JqPxmYhlo/w-d-xo.html
@@traciejewett1388 Agree, I've never hear a Thin Lizzy version, but King Harvest's "Dancing in the Moonlight" makes me want to dance whenever I hear it, moonlight or not!
Whenever I hear this song I can see it clearly in the scene from the amazing film with the sad loss of Heath Ledger still, A Knights tale when they return to England - great film and great song love Thin Lizzy!
Lol the song came about whilst Phil lynott was staying in a pub in England and he heard his mother the landlady of the pub say the boys are back in town referring to the Manchester gang the quality street crew it stuck with him and made it the chorus
@@kennyphillips6281 The epitome of cool. He was such a unique and talented man with a pretty amazing life story. I still need to get over to Dublin to see his statue! ♥️
This song may have been before my time, but, still a classic. Love your reactions! You both bring back some sweet memories for me. It's been a minute since I've been able to see my granddaughter and y'all give me some great moments to help pass the time til I can see her again! COVID sucks but, you two ROCK!😊Thanks again💯
Very underrated band & especially their leader, the late great Phil Lynott. Such a charismatic front man & lyricist, such a tragedy that we lost him to drug abuse at such a young age. But his legacy lives in with so many amazing Thin Lizzy tracks ... Bad Reputation, Cowboy Song, She Knows and Still In Love With You to name just a few.
This was the "theme song" for my brother and one of his friends coming home from college on the weekends from Athens, GA (UGA - Go Dawgs!) back to Atlanta. It's about a 70-mile trip and they would always blast this song. I'll never hear it without thinking of him.
Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23 Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded by the Light (7:08 minute version) Blondie - Rapture Kiss - Rock and Roll All Nite (1975)
There’s a movie called “A Knights Tale”, starring the late great actor Heath Ledger. It has this song in it and many others that you have reacted to! You’ll love the movie. They mesh old music in the movie with knights jousting. It is a great movie.
Cheap Trick - "Jailbreak" is another classic. Also "I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick has a similar vibe. I'm still asking for "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty first tho
Phil Lynott, the lead singer of Thin Lizzy, has a song that he sings solo called 'Old Town'. A big favourite of mine and would definitely recommend! 🙌💕
This is the quintessential Thin Lizzy song: a nice driving riff, a grooving rhythm section, twin lead guitars, a catchy hook, and Phil Lynott's swaggering personality.
Awww i just love these guys, they never go into deep analysing of the tracks & only stop to have a boogie or howl with laughter. They are just a one off well a two off, funny, unique & genuine & an utter joy to watch! I loved their reaction to Dolly Partons Jolene! Amazing, i laughed for days remembering them sing Jolene Jolene ... Bliss
My era lol That was the life we were free walking the streets always a party happening People were more open out there going to concerts live shows mix music We could scream grow our hair long Your drivers licence was only 5 question and $10 What a life back then Great band ! Australia 💕 Christina
I used to love Thin Lizzy, their concerts were fab and I confess to hanging out by the stage door too. They had some fab songs: Whiskey in the Jar, Jailbreak, Emerald, Sarah, Black Rose. Then Phil Lynott sang on Gary Moore's Parisian Walkways may Phil and Gary both Rest in Peace.
Forever requesting Elvis Costello. Radio Radio, I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down, What’s So Funny Bout Peace Love and Understanding, I Don’t Want to Go to Chelsea - and that’s just the old school stuff. Everything the Imposters have done is brilliant as well (especially The Delivery Man album).
Now listen to "Whisky in the Jar". Someone once asked Phil Lynot (singer) "What's it like being a black Irishman?" His answer: "like a pint of Guinness"
Just a fun song about hitting up the clubs/pubs after a long tour, trolling for ummm... pirate treasure. (booty) “The boys are back in town.” “Get your knickers down.” haha!
Yes, as an Irish fan of an Irish band, and a fan of our greatly loved Phil Lynott, could you please play, or listen to , 'Emerald', or some other really great Lizzy song, because yes that's what we call them over here in Ireland, this band, our boy and some great music shouldn't just die without a fight! Thank you, that was great!
You 2 would be great in any era at any party! I love that you love,all the music from my whole life and I will be 70 soon! Keep on Rocking. Twins !!! 🥰🇦🇺🤣🇦🇺🙏🏻
A completely different song also called “The Boys Are Back In Town” was used in that movie. That song was by the Bus Boys, not Thin Lizzy. Great song though.
Thanks for the reaction, on spot! This song was popular from 1975. I remember reading that it was a tribute to those returning from the Vietnam War. I have a different memory of blasting the song in my car in a parking lot while waiting for a friend to meet me in 2011. He heard the song and said, " That has always been one of my favorites, now I know for sure that you are the girl for me". We ended up being together for many years. Classic song as it lives on!
Space Oddity, but yeah everyone refers to it as that Lisa. I think Life On Mars is a good start. I was lucky enough to see Bowie play live in Dublin in 2003, a show he released on DVD. it was absolutely magic. He did all the hits sure but it was one of his last performances and last tour. I managed somehow to get tickets ON THE PHONE! 😂 I seen someone almost pay 400€ a ticket to get in outside. Crazy. But an amazing show. My favourite artist is Trent Reznor (nine inch nails) who just won his second Oscar for the soundtrack to Soul, and he won an Emmy for the Watchmen TV show soundtrack (Regina King is an absolute goddess!) which has an instrumental of Life on Mars. He also remade 'i cant give everything away' and Bowie was a massive fan so they toured in 95 and what would happen is NIN would start their last few songs and gradually the band would seague into Bowie so you have some recordings of Bowie singing 'Hurt'.... Trent also played the stalker in the video, remixed and and often plays live 'im afraid of Americans'... My fave Bowie albums are Diamond Dogs, Aladin Sane, Low, and Outside...but really anything he does is magic!
Thin Lizzy. they have some proper rock n roll songs. 'Cold Sweat' 'Thunder and Lightening' 'Renegade' 'Black rose' 'Emerald'. 'Rosalee' 'Jailbreak' 'Dancing in the moonlight'. . . . . . .
Please consider these! They will blow your mind!!!! Damien Rice- volcano Gary Clark Jr.- Bright lights Blonde redhead- dripping Flogging molly- If I ever leave this world alive
You can't react to the Eagles. Their management group is super stingy with the rights. It's a shame too because old classic rock needs to be rediscovered.
The memories I have of my mam when I hear Thin Lizzy or especially Phil Lynott is a happy one! My lord she thought he was made from the gods! Hopefully she and Phil met and are having a good ol time!!
One of the greatest bands of all time. Period. Thin Lizzy fn rules. Just pick an album, let it play and crank the volume. You wont be disappointed at all
Legend has it that this tune is based on ‘The quality street gang’ a notorious Manchester gang that used to frequent his parents pub in Whaley Range in Manchester, England....
You boys must see Phil Colins In The Air Tonight LIVE. I know you reacted on his video but you have to experience the LIVE version.. ITS POWERFUL. You and your fans will love it. Enjoy your channel.
@@Scorpio_Moonshine I couldn’t find the live version reaction on their list of videos. I’ve only found their initial reaction when this song was in audio form, not live performance🤷🏻♀️.
Guys, you have to listen to CLOSER and HEAD LIKE A HOLE by NINE INCH NAILS! They are legendary with a very unique sound. You've never heard anything like this before. Bonus points if you hear the songs live at Woodstock 94. NIN IS AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME.

Great story! 💖
He was pure Irish, read up on him. Phil Lynott was a GD class act. His mum was as well. He has a statue in Dublin, very cool.
The few people that I’ve met from Ireland were class acts 🙂

One of our Irish Hero’s 🇮🇪☘️ Phil Lynott, lead singer passed away years back
Drugs so sad
I believe the rest of the band is still playing, under a different name out of respect.
Phil lynott was a god, love thin lizzy,
I love ...jhonny the fox, meets jimmy the weeeedah. I love it all!!!!
I miss him even though he died before I was born. Heartbreaking 💔
That's a classic! These guys formed in Dublin, Ireland, in 1969.
Did not know they were Irish!Guess that is why they say knickers instead of pants.
Hence me being born in 1970. My parent met at a local gig of his band which turned into lizzy
@@Dilydaydream1 That's cool!
Didn’t know that either.
Dilydaydream1 That's cool. My dad saw Phil Lynott in a pub once.
Fred added it to his playlist on his phone. You know it's special when that happens!
Just take a second to appreciate that guitar. I miss that depth of playing. Was a great era for guitar. And hair!
Christine Herrmann oh, John Sykes the blond guitarist is known as the 'Prince of Rock n Roll' in Japan because of his mane and his Disney good looks.
I love, love, love the guitar solos in this song.
I can remember when this song came out , DRIVNG down the highway of course speeding!! Lol
I got a ticket jamming to black betty! The officer told me to sing to slower songs.
@@audreygustafson4270 I got pulled over listening to Radar Love "speeding" in my 67 Mustang. No tickets just a warning.
The best way to speed! 😛

This is good song, but "Jailbreak" is their other hit, and I think its a little bit better.
They would have taken over the US if it wasn't for the drink and drugs 🙄
Dancing in the moonlight is another of my favs. One of my favourite bands of all time ❤️
Underrated where? They’re god status where I am, absolute legends
riots they were turned down for hall of fame........ idiots as he is just a legend.
I'll add, the only good band coming out of Ireland...and no, U2 is garbage!
the band took their name after Tin Lizzie, a robot character in the Scottish cartoon strip, “The Dandy.” They added the “H” to “Tin” to reflect that fact that the Irish are famous for dropping their H's.

And 'The Rocker'

And Roundabout by Yes!
Definitely yes
Classic guitar riff
I love owner of a lonely heart!

Thin Lizzy are a huge influence on hard rock and heavy metal to this day. And Phil Lynott is STILL the most beloved and famous Black Irishman ever.
phil Lynott was the most talented, gorgeous Irish Rocker.
And Michelle Beckstrom has incredibly awesome taste! Much 👍 from Dublin!
That's an understatement! THIN LIZZY the best band to ever touch land!
Yes, an absolute banger indeed boys, that's your anthem right there.
"Dancin' In The Moonlight" OR "My Sarah" give those a play !
Dancing in the moonlight was the bomb

This was the "theme song" for my brother and one of his friends coming home from college on the weekends from Athens, GA (UGA - Go Dawgs!) back to Atlanta. It's about a 70-mile trip and they would always blast this song. I'll never hear it without thinking of him.
I bet they made it home in 20 minutes!
Songs are such touch stones for us. Reminders, happy or sad. Music is the universal language. BTW. Love Georgia and UGA !
It’s really a little narrative about good times of cutting up, hitting on girls, and hanging out with friends. I feel young again when I hear it.

Legend has it that if you listen to Thin Lizzy alone at night the ghost of Phil Lynott may appear. Always the same message. "Tell my mom I'm sorry".
Cheap Trick - "Jailbreak" is another classic. Also "I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick has a similar vibe.
I'm still asking for "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty first tho
I second Gerry Rafferty Baker Street
I love it
The shirt made me want to request "Oh Caroline" - Cheap Trick

“The boys are back in town.”
“Get your knickers down.” haha!
An Oldie but a Goodie😉
Thin Lizzy was the inspiration for many rock bands They have a lot of great songs 👍
They made this song “American” style rock because their other stuff didn’t make it over here. This is the only song that charted in N America.
Lynn Peters, they had several hits in the U.S. Like Jailbreak, Cowboy Song, Dancing in the moonlight. Great Band from Europe.
Yes, as an Irish fan of an Irish band, and a fan of our greatly loved Phil Lynott, could you please play, or listen to , 'Emerald', or some other really great Lizzy song, because yes that's what we call them over here in Ireland, this band, our boy and some great music shouldn't just die without a fight!
Thank you, that was great!
Wow it’s amazing how you forget some of the greatest music there is out their brings back great memories ❣️
Yes, yes, and YES ! One of my top 10 fav 70s songs ! Thanks for playing it !
This song was used in toy story "the toy's are back in town"
Couldn't remember the movie that used the song. Also been used is a bunch of commercials. Think the NFL were using it a year or 2 ago.
I am so happy you got to hear Thin Lizzy best wishes from Ireland

The first time I saw these guys were as a back up group for Queen. That was a GOOD concert. ;)
This song was used in the movie 48 hrs with Eddie Murphy.
I was scrolling to see if some mentioned this yet. Good looking out.
A completely different song also called “The Boys Are Back In Town” was used in that movie. That song was by the Bus Boys, not Thin Lizzy. Great song though.
Phil Lynott was an Irish superstar. He oozed charisma. RIP back in the arms of his beloved mum Phyllis.
He was kinda like an Irish Jimi Hendrix!
Great voice.
Man, imagine hendrix jamming with these dudes. Faces would melt
Thanks for the reaction, on spot! This song was popular from 1975. I remember reading that it was a tribute to those returning from the Vietnam War. I have a different memory of blasting the song in my car in a parking lot while waiting for a friend to meet me in 2011. He heard the song and said, " That has always been one of my favorites, now I know for sure that you are the girl for me". We ended up being together for many years. Classic song as it lives on!
Yes I just commented about the Vietnam connection too. I'm glad I'm not the only one who'd heard that.
These boys need to get into David Bowie
Start with Major Tom
True!
"Let's Dance"
"Hero"
Peter Schilling!
Or Hallo Spaceboy from the 50th b-day show
Space Oddity, but yeah everyone refers to it as that Lisa. I think Life On Mars is a good start. I was lucky enough to see Bowie play live in Dublin in 2003, a show he released on DVD. it was absolutely magic. He did all the hits sure but it was one of his last performances and last tour. I managed somehow to get tickets ON THE PHONE! 😂
I seen someone almost pay 400€ a ticket to get in outside. Crazy. But an amazing show.
My favourite artist is Trent Reznor (nine inch nails) who just won his second Oscar for the soundtrack to Soul, and he won an Emmy for the Watchmen TV show soundtrack (Regina King is an absolute goddess!) which has an instrumental of Life on Mars. He also remade 'i cant give everything away' and Bowie was a massive fan so they toured in 95 and what would happen is NIN would start their last few songs and gradually the band would seague into Bowie so you have some recordings of Bowie singing 'Hurt'....
Trent also played the stalker in the video, remixed and and often plays live 'im afraid of Americans'...
My fave Bowie albums are Diamond Dogs, Aladin Sane, Low, and Outside...but really anything he does is magic!
Thin Lizzy. they have some proper rock n roll songs. 'Cold Sweat' 'Thunder and Lightening' 'Renegade' 'Black rose' 'Emerald'. 'Rosalee' 'Jailbreak' 'Dancing in the moonlight'. . . . . . .
This is fucking weird - I woke up an 4 hours ago with this song on repeat running through my head.
UK, it's morning here.
Great choice!! Love thin Lizzy!!!!!🙏🙏
How about The Doors: Light my Fire or The Police: King of pain.
Another vote for "Light My Fire" by the Doors
Please consider these! They will blow your mind!!!!
Damien Rice- volcano
Gary Clark Jr.- Bright lights
Blonde redhead- dripping
Flogging molly- If I ever leave this world alive
Have you reacted to The Eagles yet?.. "I can't tell you why" is a great song by them.. many others too!
Definitely been asking myself they will eventually lol
Australia 💕 Christina
I heard on a lot of reactors' channels that their songs by the Eagles get blocked.
You can't react to the Eagles. Their management group is super stingy with the rights. It's a shame too because old classic rock needs to be rediscovered.
They can only react 2 what's allowed. Nothing else they can do.
Yes. Eagles have sooo many great songs.
The memories I have of my mam when I hear Thin Lizzy or especially Phil Lynott is a happy one! My lord she thought he was made from the gods! Hopefully she and Phil met and are having a good ol time!!
"EPIC" by Faith No More
YESSSS! You finally got to Thin Lizzy! RIP Phil Lynott! 🙌
A couple of suggestions:
Fleetwood Mac “Dreams”
Adele “Set Fire to the Rain”
Yes on both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest bands of all time. Period. Thin Lizzy fn rules. Just pick an album, let it play and crank the volume. You wont be disappointed at all
Tribute song to
Thin Lizzy's fans.
Check out "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" by The Hollies (1971) and "Brother Louie" by Stories (1973).
Remember this one from my high school years(1970s) ! thanks for reacting to it!
A band and singer that always puts a bounce in my step and listen to the song of his daughter, that puts tears in my eyes. 'My Sarah'.
Jailbreak is another standard from them.
Legend has it that this tune is based on ‘The quality street gang’ a notorious Manchester gang that used to frequent his parents pub in Whaley Range in Manchester, England....
You boys must see Phil Colins In The Air Tonight LIVE. I know you reacted on his video but you have to experience the LIVE version.. ITS POWERFUL. You and your fans will love it. Enjoy your channel.
They did react to the LIVE version.
@@Scorpio_Moonshine I couldn’t find the live version reaction on their list of videos. I’ve only found their initial reaction when this song was in audio form, not live performance🤷🏻♀️.
The first song I ever heard on my new FM radio/8 track in my first car '69' GTO- coolest thing for a 16-yr old!
"OVER AND OVER" by Tim McGraw and Nelly
That's a good one!
Freshman year of college I literally played three song over and over. Lol I was going through some things. I’m 34 now.
@@jessinthecomments Isn't it amazing how music can be your companion, your strength?
Hope you have found peace of mind.
Phil and the band was a fantastic band. They were very under rated. They totally "rock".
One of the greatest songs ever. Check out Thin Lizzy's "The Cowboy Song" as well.
Guys, you have to listen to CLOSER and HEAD LIKE A HOLE by NINE INCH NAILS! They are legendary with a very unique sound. You've never heard anything like this before. Bonus points if you hear the songs live at Woodstock 94. NIN IS AWESOME, YOU ARE AWESOME, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME.
Fortunate to have seen The Boys early in their career, when they opened for Queen. Double Score!
"If you hear any noise, it's just me and the Boys."
Outstanding group. Checkout their song "Jailbreak."
Love u guys! From 60 yr old Grandma. You are what is right in this 🌎
I'm from Baltimore and thats our theme song for opening season for baseball. So its like our anthem for the Orioles.
Classic rock! Irish Rock! Everyone loved it
Recommendation : Thin Lizzy -whiskey in the jar
Gary Moore "still got the blues," ROCKS❣ He was with thin lizzy for a minute, he was one of thee Best guitarists ever.. you won't be disappointed 🎸 ✌
This pairs very nicely with Mott the Hoople "All the Young Dudes"
The first time I heard this song was in "48 Hours" starring Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte. And I've loved it and Thin Lizzy ever since ♥.
It 's not the same song and the band is The Bus Boys.
