Phil Lynott

[Eric Mc]

Would have been 60 today.

Just thought I'd say that.

God bless him.

From one King to another, thanks for the music.

I like Thin Lizzy. I used to think Phil Lynott was very cool, you couldn't categorise him.

I can't remember the name but I stumbled across a pub in Cork which was like a shrine to Phil with pics of him and the band and loads of memorabilia and press cuttings all over the walls. Spent a few happy hours in there listening to the music!

Was listening to a couple of the albums recently. A waste he died so young. Brian was a great drummer as well.

I remember one of my mates (now a C of E vicar) coming home from Lampeter University in 1970 and telling me about a terrific Irish band he'd seen at the Students' Union...

Seen Lizzy live at the Magnum in Irvine, must have been around 80/81, then Grand Slam with Phil at the Pavillion in Ayr a few years later.

Brilliant on both occasions.

A band that often played at the uni my GM went to was Skid Row, today he is a huge Rory fan.

Midge Ure says a big regret not asking him to perform at Live Aid (Wembly school of 85 )

Very slowly for those up the back.

My GM is Irish and a bunch of kids he went to school with formed a band and called themselves Skid Row and Skid Row became ...

The bit about Rory is a bit of an obscure and inconsequential comment but he is the only blues player the John really likes.

[Evel Knievel]

IIRC, Phil married Leslie Crowther's daughter.......

Nope. Still don't get it. Who did Skid Row become? Certainly not Thin Lizzy, although I'll concede that Gary Moore joined them a few years later.

And who is the 'John'?

Don't get it either

GM = Grandmother ?

I thought Grandmother to begin with, but then 'he' formed a band. Maybe Wayne/Jayne County? The only transexual band member I can think of, although there may well be others.
Also, I haven't a clue who 'huge Rory' is. Any relation to Bigelf, maybe? They're rather good.
