Two days of musical indulgence flew by in a flash, and it was already time to start thinking about the trip back home.

"Whether or not this is RockLine's last Judas Priest live report, I can only say one thing. 'Thank you, metal gods!'"

"Since Journey don't have as many hits in Europe as Foreigner, and given their tamer stage dynamics and less fiery crowd interaction, this time Foreigner stole the show from them by a hair!"

Of all the Thin Lizzy albums, Renegade is probably the most one-dimensional, monolithic piece of work. After painful lineup shuffles that led to dizzying attempts to keep up an appearance of normality inside the band, followed so kindly by…

Thin Lizzy march into the eighties with a revamped look. Gary Moore, the incorrigible guitar-slinging hero who played a big part in the success of Black Rose, calls it quits one last time, citing "oversensitivity" to Phil's and Gorham's…

So much has already been said about the magic Thin Lizzy conjured up on stage in the second half of the seventies. Live And Dangerous is a gorgeous showcase of that devastating force. Recorded in 1976/77 on the Johnny The Fox and Bad…

Thin Lizzy have always been known first and foremost as a killer live band, studio triumphs be damned. The guys simply had it all: great music, spiked with a heaping dose of venomous guitar dialogues. But their biggest trump card

Vagabonds Of The Western World is the last album Thin Lizzy put out on Decca Records, and also the final trio incarnation of the legendary Irish band. It's also the best work of a lineup that has far too often been unfairly

Everybody knows you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Well, almost everybody. Lynott and his Lizzy comrades-in-arms apparently didn't in 1983, at least judging by Thunder And Lightning. Blindly chasing the musical trends of the early…

Black Rose is Thin Lizzy's ninth album in a row, and it doubles as the last refuge for everyone who loves Lynott's traditionally romantic odes to the woes of everyday life. With one difference! After Robertson's departure, the Lizzy sound…

Thin Lizzy's wild lifestyle, which the lads had already perfected down to the last detail by 1977, brings them an international reputation as the bad boys of rock & roll. The mere fact that they survived 1976, in which on top of…

Beginnings are always tough. The same goes for Thin Lizzy, who, after three unnoticed albums, step into a new era on the wings of two fresh recruits. With Gorham and Robertson on board, Lynott starts opening a new chapter in the Lizzy…

Thin Lizzy's big breakthrough with Jailbreak brings international fame, something the boys first got a serious taste of when Whiskey In The Jar happened to them. But if they naively let that opportunity slip through their fingers back then,…

Buckle up, dear friends, because "The Boys Are Back In Town". "Warning, Jailbreak" screams the cover of the legendary and all-too-often overlooked album with which Thin Lizzy, after four

In 1975, things really started happening for Thin Lizzy. After a full year of touring, the lads released Fighting, their fifth album overall and the second since Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham joined the band. All in all, Lizzy's…
