Precisely.
I have to say that most of Thin Lizzy's output was terrible as well. I wish this were not so.

I am reminded of a superb bit of standup (from whom I cannot recall):

'Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak' sang Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy, 'somewhere in this town'.

Err, that'd be at the jail, Phil.'

it is a shame
but I agree.

He was good in War of the Worlds though.

Best tune by a country mile:
'Johnny The Fox meets Jimmy the Weed'

If you don't know it, you fucking should.

Haha, I do love that one. Can't remember for the life of me who it was though.
Thin Lizzy, there's another one I could never understand the appeal of. They have slighted me with Boys are Back in Town as every time I hear that riff I hope against hope it might be Sabbath's Never Say Die and am disappointed. (A bit like hearing that Queen song and hoping it will be Vanilla Ice)

That and my friend reports seeing Gary Moore and BB King playing in concert, during which the arrogant Oirish bellend had the gall to solo over the blues legend himself.

good lord
Gary Moore can play guitar for sure, but to solo over BB King?

*shakes head*

Gay Moore is a very, very unfortunate looking man.
Rock's own Simon Weston, if you will.

he spits a lot when he sings
Nuclear Attack is a brilliant song though and much as I hate to admit it, Parisienne Walkways is a nice bit of guitar.
