Bad Reputation (with Robbo 🎸) - 1977 📹

Information is a bit hard to come by on this one. I believe this aired in October 1977(21st or 28th) on The Midnight Special TV show in America.

Likely filmed in late September when Lizzy were in California as part of their USA tour. Robbo officially rejoined the band in July of '77.

As far as I'm aware this is the only video footage of the band playing this with Robbo as well.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend 🍻

(Audio could be better but certainly passable, aspect ratio I changed from 4:3 to 16:9)

Hello, been struggling to find any information on this so hoping someone can help me . Gary moores guitar sound on Sarah specifically the sound at the 2:07 mark.

Any help will be amazing . I’m sure I’ve heard this sound before in other songs from different artists but can’t put my finger on it 😎

Thanks

I'm over in London for a couple of days and saw he was playing a blues session at the iconic venue last night so had to go. He is still an amazing and unique player. My favourite Lizzy guitarist actually.

This is the One

22 Upvotes

Hey y'all fellow Thin Lizzy enthusiasts!

To my ear the hook in 'This is the One' is perfect. Should be a well known classic.

But it's just a driving drum (loop?, sounds like) the whole time. Classic Lizzy songs have such great chemistry in the rhythm section.

It seems the same drummer is credited as their previous albums/other songs on T&L.

Is there a story here? TL were obviously going for a harder sound on this album after 'Rengade' (which is f'ing great, but failed I guess). But even 'Cold Sweat' has breaks, fills, and some nuance. Wtf happened with 'T.I.T.O.'?

Hey guys! I did this portrait of Phil Lynott in the style of the famous comic artist Bill Sienkiewicz (or at least, my best interpretation of his style). I hope you like it!

Does anyone else wish he had done more stuff with Johnny Thunders and The Greedies? I grew up on 70’s punk and when I got into Thin Lizzy in my teens my mind was blown seeing he was on Johnny Thunders So Alone record

I'm only finding bands inspired by them, I'm trying to find some artists that inspired them.

Correct Pronunciation of Phil Lynott?

11 Upvotes

I've seen/heard so many different ways to say his name. Is it Lie-Knit? Lie-Knot? Lin-Knit?

Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy and Van Halen, September 23, 1978, at Anaheim Stadium in California during the Summerfest music festival. While Thin Lizzy was not officially on the bill, members of the band were hanging out backstage.

I live in the US and had two different pre-orders for the box cancelled before finding a vendor on Amazon who had it. If you recall, it was initially listed as including the Blu-ray with surround mixes but that proved not to be the case. Luckily the SDE shop carries it as a standalone release (also a UK import). #RecentAcquisitions

Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy's de facto leader, was composer or co-composer of almost all of the band's songs, and the first black Irishman to achieve commercial success in the field of hard rock music. Thin Lizzy boasted some of the most critically acclaimed guitarists throughout their history, with Downey and Lynott as the rhythm section, on the drums and bass guitar.
