Adam from Clinton Township, MiOH, btw Wurm.With "Whiskey in the Jar," "Boys are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak," the original Thin Lizzy band has stood the test of time. Drugs took their toll on this talented vocalist and bass guitarist, whose contributions to classic rock can't be overstated. Henry from New Smyrna Beach, FlPhil Lynott, (along with co-founder and drummer Brian Downey) was the heart and soul of Thin Lizzy and his tragic passing is a reminder of the pressures of keeping up with fame and producing hit records.Virginie from In My Room Thin Lizzy version is much better.but Thin Lizzy's version was so, so, hard to listen too, it was unadulterated swill :( Skinnypen from Skinnypen's HouseVirginie, your wrong.That's the beauty of a song that's hundreds of years old.
