Epic, mammoth, amazing, heavy, soft, hard, light, up, down (they fulfill all of my musical desires, you see). They have everything from great vocals courtesy of my man Phil Lynott, blistering and melodicly amazing solos on par with anything else I've ever heard, crunching riffs. They span from heavy metal to hard rock to pop to balladeering. So who else loves em!? For some reason I can't find any other TL fans. And it makes me cry.

I haven't listened to any Lizzy for quite some time, but they have been responsible for some great songs. "Waiting for an Alibi", "Jailbreak" and "Don't Believe A Word" are personal favourites. Also, I have to mention "Parisienne Walkways" as it was the first song played at my wedding! Gary Moore was actually born and raised just a few miles/kilometres from me, which I always found inspiring when I first picked up the guitar!

Its a shame they are no longer. It seems all the great bands die off too soon. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Gotta agree with ya there JVM - HUGE fan here since a long time . You hit the nail right on the head with your melodic Rock/Everything description above. I come from Dublin meself and the lads are still mega over there of course in the hometown - deservedly so! Philo is sorely missed . D You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Well Gorham and John Sykes still play under the Thin Lizzy name, don't they? I haven't heard any of their live material though. Apart from Gary Moore I don't know what any of the other ex-Lizzy guitarists are doing now. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
