uzi your illusion Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Very cool, wonder if Axl still digs the band as much as he did back in the day. Lizzy is my second favorite behind Guns, I have the "Bad Reputation" album cover tattooed on arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabia Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 This sounds great. It would be even cooler if Axl joined them on stage one day for a Thin Lizzy cover, Phil Lynott being so important so him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Wonder if Richard will be doing double duty?I don't believe so.That'd be kind of cool actually. Maybe not for the whole set, but he could always join for a song or two. Richard is the man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBrownstone Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I like it.I'm sure Axl does too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One.In.A.Million Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I was surprised to hear that Thin Lizzy were opening, not because I don't like them or anything. But because I thought they were a much bigger band than what it seems in todays climate. I never realised they are playing small venues like clubs and Academys, and obscure citys.I'll be seeing Guns quite a few times in the UK, so I'm not complaining. Still probably would have prefered Sebastian Bach, just because I know more of his songs and really appreciate him as a performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzi your illusion Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Oneinamillion - even at their peak Lizzy never really broke out in the states, although they were really big in Europe. If Phil was still alive i'm sure they would be doing bigger gigs. Just think if they can book consistant gigs this size with only 2 original members then the possibilities if they still had their singer are much greater.

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Cool.This should be fun.I saw Lizzy open for Deep Purple seven years ago.It would be interesting if Fortus jams with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
