"Thin Lizzy were the original punks. To be honest, the punks just tagged onto us. I went over with a bottle of Johnny Walker in one hand and had Johnny Rotten in the other. I said, ‘punk, you’re no f**king punk. To be honest if they had came up to us with the ‘f**k everything’ attitude we’d have just nutted them and they knew it." Brian Robertson
“Byrne has the advantage of a story far more colourful than the average muso biography. A respectful, but vibrant account of Lynott’s rambunctious life.” Uncut ****
“Established fans of Lynott and Lizzy will lap this up, and those new to the band will get some idea of what all the fuss is about.” Record Collector ****
Thin Lizzy, and their enigmatic leader and frontman, Phil Lynott lived life to the full. In their hey-day, they mixed lilting Celtic melodies with a rock ‘n’ roll edge and had a reputation as one of the seventies best live acts - as exemplified on the multi-platinum Live and Dangerous LP. A hard drinking, drug-taking, lady-killing gang, they went on the rampage across the world’s stages, often blowing away the opposition in the process.
The full story of Thin Lizzy and its enigmatic leader, Phil Lynott. Five years of research, over 100 interviews with ex-members and collaborators and includes contributions from band members Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham and many others exclusively for this book. Extensive photo collection, many seen for the first time. Hardback sold out.
