+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+
| |
| Despite a huge hit single in the mid-'70s ("The Boys Are Back in Town") |
| and becoming a popular act with hard rock/heavy metal fans, Thin Lizzy |
| are still, in the pantheon of '70s rock bands, underappreciated. Formed |
| in the late '60s by Irish singer/songwriter/bassist Phil Lynott, Lizzy, |
| though not the first band to do so, combined romanticized working-class |
| sentiments with their ferocious, twin-lead guitar attack. As the band's |
| creative force, Lynott was a more insightful and intelligent writer than |
| many of his ilk, preferring slice-of-life working-class dramas of love |
| and hate influenced by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and virtually all |
| of the Irish literary tradition. Also, as a black man, Lynott was an |
| anomaly in the nearly all-white world of hard rock, and as such imbued |
| much of his work with a sense of alienation; he was the outsider, the |
| romantic guy from the other side of the tracks, a self-styled poet of |
| the lovelorn and downtrodden. His sweeping vision and writerly impulses |
| at times gave way to pretentious songs aspiring to clichéd notions of |
| literary significance, but Lynott's limitless charisma made even the |
| most misguided moments worth hearing. |
| |
| After a few early records that hinted at the band's potential, Lizzy |
| released Fighting in 1975, and the band (Lynott, guitarists Brian |
| Robertson and Scott Gorham, and drummer Brian Downey) had molded itself |
| into a pretty tight recording and performing unit. Lynott's thick, |
| soulful vocals were the perfect vehicle for his tightly written melodic |
| lines. Gorham and Robertson generally played lead lines in harmonic |
| tandem, while Downey (a great drummer who had equal amounts of power and |
| style) drove the engine. Lizzy's big break came with their next album, |
| Jailbreak, and the record's first single, "The Boys Are Back in Town." A |
| paean to the joys of working-class guys letting loose, the song |
| resembled similar odes by Bruce Springsteen, with the exception of the |
| Who-like power chords in the chorus. With the support of radio and every |
| frat boy in America, "Boys" became a huge hit, enough of a hit as to |
| ensure record contracts and media attention for the next decade ("Boys" |
| is now used in beer advertising). |
| |
| Never the toast of critics (the majority writing in the '70s hated hard |
| rock and heavy metal), Lizzy toured relentlessly, building an |
| unassailable reputation as a terrific live band, despite the lead guitar |
| spot becoming a revolving door (Eric Bell, Gary Moore, Brian Robertson, |
| Snowy White, and John Sykes all stood next to Scott Gorham). The records |
| came fast and furious, and despite attempts to repeat the formula that |
| worked like a charm with "Boys," Lynott began writing more ambitious |
| songs and wrapping them up in vaguely articulated concept albums. The |
| large fan base the band had built as a result of "Boys" turned into a |
| smaller, yet still enthusiastic bunch of hard rockers. Adding insult to |
| injury was the rise of punk rock, which Lynott vigorously supported, but |
| made Lizzy look too traditional and too much like tired old rock stars. |
| |
| By the mid-'80s, resembling the dinosaur that punk rock wanted to |
| annihilate, Thin Lizzy called it a career. Lynott recorded solo records |
| that more explicitly examined issues of class and race, published a now |
| -out-of-print book of poetry, and sadly, became a victim of his longtime |
| abuse of heroin, cocaine, and alcohol, dying in 1986 at age 35. Since |
| the mega-popular alternative rock bands of the mid-'90s appropriated |
| numerous musical messages from their '70s forebears, the work of Phil |
| Lynott and Thin Lizzy will hopefully continue to be seen for the |
| influential rock & roll it is. |
| |
| In 1999, Thin Lizzy reunited with a lineup featuring guitarists Scott |
| Gorman and John Sykes, and keyboardist Darren Wharton, which was rounded |
| out by a journeyman rhythm section of bassist Marco Mendoza and drummer |
| Tommy Aldridge. The quintet's ensuing European tour produced the live |
| album One Night Only, which was released in the summer of 2000 to set |
| the stage for a subsequent American concert tour. |
