Not only was Phil cooler than cool, a gifted songwriter, and one hell of a front man, but also probably the best lyricist I've ever come across.

It feels like he never died. I listen to him every single day

As his mother so aptly put it,"I believe my son is the greatest rock and roll star EVER!" So sorely missed all these years later!

Huge respect for Huey Lewis, 1 st celebrity to dedicate an an award to Phil, Brits award 1986 , when most of his so called friends stayed silent.Yes Countrymen Bono and Geldof.

This song is better then anything on the radio till this day

Brian Downey! - very underrated drummer, taking it easy here.

Greatest Irish band ever thin Lizzy no one ever came close

I don't have words for Philip. He was a perfect frontman! What a voice!

What a talented musician, songwriter, singer, story teller a rock star.

Huey Lewis and Phil Lynott A brilliant combination.

Those synthesizers! And that Huey. Thanks Phil. We're never going to forget you.

I love the voice of Philip Lynott . Philip is a genius , he was able to write and sing in a variety of musical generes . Philip is one of the best vocalists of all time .♥️🎶🎸

Phil Lynott. The most amazing, talented musician. Gone but will never be forgotten ♥️🌹🖤

The more I hear this song, the more I feel and love it. I beautifully written and performed song.

I just wish he could still be here. He was such a talented star. We miss him, but his star is shining bright throughout the cosmos now. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I always thought this was the most autobiographical song Phil ever wrote. He lived the rockstar image we expected of him and ultimately died it sadly - living out our dream of how a rockstar should be?

Phil Lynott - women want to be with him, men want to be him!

What great talent. A genius.

Phil taught Huey the music business Phil is the biggest star in the Sky

Imagine all the songs still in limbo from Phil. There is reportedly a trove of demos and missing tapes that were either discarded or stolen after his death, he was very prolific during and after Lizzy, such a shame that all that music will most likely never see the light of day. This video is a reminder of the vulture culture that existed in the music business, his lyrics are a response to those labels that turned their back on him. Nothing has changed in the music industry, its far worse today. God Bless you Phil, I will always listen!

Only PHIL can pull this song off. What a genius.

Love the Dennis the Menace vibe. Huey Lewis on harmonica - cool :) Hard to believe Phil died just 5 years after this :( ... and that it was 33 years ago. I visited Salisbury hospital recently where Phil passed away, the old buildings pulled down and replaced by an impressive, big modern complex, he was much in my thoughts that day.

Yet Phils beloved mother did say that she believes her son is the greatest rock and roll star EVER!" I will 2nd this, my 6 brothers and I knew this from the very first gig we got to see Phil and Thin Lizzy play, we know from the very first time of hearing and seen Phil and the boys sing and play their music that we would never ever get to see a better band even if we lived for 500 years or more.

The greatest rock and roll star in the world!

Phil, the greatest rock star

Wow every day is a new Thin Lizzy song I've never heard what a blessing I prefer the dark stuff with snowy white I mean 1980 Chinatown and 1981 renegade those records will drive you into a frenzy

This is most excellent, this song should have made the second solo album.

Polish : Uwielbiam wokal Philipa Lynott's . Philip to geniusz , potrafił pisać i śpiewać w różnym gatunku muzycznym . Philip jest jednym z najlepszych wokalistów wszech czasów ♥️🎶🎸

These Lyrics Are So Powerful and Meaningful... Life Has Challenges and Philip Put Them In Perspective!

The king of cool, dearly missed...

I was impressed with Huey's mouth organ playing ! Phil was so effortlessly cool........

What is it about this guy!?!! I love this, love watching

My Hero my Genius My legend

Huey Lewis does a nice harmonica break on this one. He and Phil were good friends from what I've heard.

Phil is the best.phil is a black rose legend

Phil was so good...such a shame he left us so soon. He made his mark though, the music and his memory lives on

Une autre facette de Phil Lynott. J adore ce morceau . Quel talent !

I like this more than anybody else okay!!??

this just does not get enough play...a hidden gem from phil...this man is a legend ...that voice.....amazing.....Philip parris. ...................missed. ......

Most under rated song writer ever.

Phil Had depth in his writing that Prince never could have hoped to achieve.

I never heard this gem before

When a rocker goes new wave with a little southern style. R.I.P. Phil Lynott.

Phil was always a class act either with Lizzy or Solo

never heard this before,being a fan for over 40 years this is like gold,thanks for posting

1 romantic poet . god bless you Sir Philip Parris Lynott

Thoday the 4th of january 2022 we remember Phil and all his awesome music and lyrics I listen to every day. The one and only Philo, forever young, forever sexy. ♥️♥️

Just love this..Jesus coolness OMG phil so so missed ,but never never will be forgotten, A legend,

Such a man at ease with words. Only fools who try to dig deeper looking for that piece of gold

Het mooiste nummer ooit!

im 22 and phil relates to how society is now more then ever just wish people would see it like me

68 soon...2022 & Philip has been a constant companion since '73. Alwayz relevant!!!

what a fucking groove, phil rules brazil and holland and the entire planet

forgot him and Huey Lewis were mates. Love the fact he included some new wave elements. He really was the man and he knew it.

Great front man, very underrated bass player and singer.

Such a talent and musical and songwriting genius! 🎶🎸 I've just discovered him and I'm hooked............

Love this man. Great bass player as well as all his other attributes. Dennis the Menace fan too by the looks of it :)

Pop-blues. I didn't know that genre even existed. Thanx, Phillo.

Phil Lynott I know who you are, I know you very well and have for the vast amount of my life, since I was just a very young boy walking over the Connemara hills, mountains and across valleys on my way to and back home from school, This man Phil Lynott comes walking into my life, my mind and refreshes my memories each and every day/night, sometimes several times during a 24 hour period, Reminding me of the times my 6 brothers and I went to see Thin Lizzy playing all over the lands. Phil never gives me a warning or knocks on my door, he just steps right in like any old friend would do, sometimes he has got all the Thin Lizzy lads with him, other times it is just Phil all on his own, he will pull up a stool, set down and sing some songs also tells me stories of long age, about the very ancient past also of now and warning about the future. Phil is always happy and full of life, Phil leaves without any warning but I do not worry as I know that Phil will be back later on. Phil was no pretender, he was the real deal, he was the total Rocker, poet, storyteller, frontman, the leader of the pack and the crowds and he was and still is loved by all. . It has been said that Phil with Gary, Peter Green, Rory Gallagher and many other greats have been seen on stage together down at Kingdom Hall, not only was the building packed to the rafters but you could not find space to walk down the streets outside, all full packed with people who came just to hear the sound of those boys belting out their music. Using the same words of the other very great master of rocking music Rory Gallagher Thanks A Million Phil Lynott for the man you were, the power and belief and strength that you gave to millions of people all over this world. As I said Phil Lynott I know who you are, you are the very greatest

In this song Phil is telling us the story of his life, Phil was in big trouble for a few years before his sad passing, and in several of his songs he wrote and sang of his pain, his worries, and his sufferings

No words describe how this song gets to me. I am in another place listening to this. Thank you guys for creating this wonderful song.

Phil Lynott Thin Lizzy forever ,Irish legends

Gone too soon. :-(

“Bluesy” Huey Lewis picking up gigs to pay for his return trip to the US, love Lizzy, will never stop listening!

Fookin Drugs took our old pal,and I still miss him.

Such a great songwriter phil

Wow! Thank you for uploading this. I've been a Lizzy/Lynott fan since the 70's and never seen this clip or heard this song before! Once again thank you.

Bluesy Huey Lewis on harmonica !

Yep, Mr Lewis doin stellar work wi the auld harmonica. Lynott knew talent when he hears it x

A perfect take… when rock stars sing about the music business, it doesn't always work well. However, this might as well be the last words on the subject. The knowingness of the tone, the sorrowfulness, the intensity and the effortlessness are striking.

Phil - musical GENIUS' who had more talent in his finger than most bands! Phil's message here is the 'Music Biz' is NOT what you think trust me and read 'Musical Truth' from Mark Devlin it's amazing! RIP PHILO!

Damn, I really enjoyed that harmonica

Seen him in concert in 1983. Been a Lizzy fan since 1975. Even started playing bass inspired by Lynott. He was a gifted bassplayer. He could play in 4 and sing in 3. I could never sing and play bass the same time. Man, I miss this guy... 😢

A GREAT SONG ! PHILIP LYNOTT IMENSE !

Nunca había escuchado este tema! Una joya de Phil para sus fans! 🇲🇽

1st time I've heard this ❤️🎸

What a way of telling a major label to f* off; because that's exactly what that "devil" is. Phil Lynott and gang! One of the best that could have happened to music!
