#ThinLizzy. “Massacre.” 1977. Live & Dangerous. When Phil sings, “if god is in heaven, how could this happen here, in god’s name they used weapons for the massacre…” — you know he means it

It will forever boggle my mind that after the success of Zep/Sabbath/Purple in the States, bands like Lizzy (minus Jailbreak), Rainbow and UFO didn't enjoy the same US success. This is an S-tier live performance with my guy just spitting fire.

Proving yet again that Brian Downey is one of the most underrated drummers. During those years Lizzy were virtually untouchable as a hard rock band.

This is the song that is so Maiden that Maiden actually covered it and it sounds like an original. Going thru Lizzy’s catalog for the first time recently there were so many riffs and things that Maiden lifted it made me realize that no band is ever original lol.

That is why they are the greatest band of all time. Infinitely more powerful than any rubbish over amped heavy metal.

Thin Lizzy was pivotal by bringing hard rock to metal in terms of heavyness and speed

Great song and it had a noteworthy cover version as well.
