Now I like Lizzy and all that but I’ve always seen Lynott as a selfish, arrogant and ultimately weak individual, traits that left him just another dead rock star junkie and his kids without a Dad. I never met him so will never mourn him.

Great tunes though.

Great bit of Trolling by Moderator on a memorial thread. I'll look forward to posting something similar on the next anniversary of Freddie Mercurys death and see what responses come in.

Lynott is a legend. Since the age of 11 I think I have not gone more than a few days without playing his music. RIP

And that post ladies and gentlemen just sums this site up at the moment.
You cant even post a memorial topic now.
I didnt ask for any ones opinion of him.

Oi, pick someone else who's dead to troll. Tim hates Freddie just as much as you do. How about trolling when we do a memorial to Bon Scott ? That should ruffle a few feathers.

Anyhoo, RIP Phil, what a waste.

Yep, this speaking ill of the deceased isn't very cool or dignified..we all have our failings...but Phil left a massive body of great songs and performances that have made my life better. RIP Philip, thanks for the tunes..

R.I.P Phil.

Phil Lynott was and is a rock legend. Very little of what he did was 2nd rate. Lizzy's albums rarely had filler tracks in them - I even love the Xmas stuff he did with The Greedies.

I met his mum once, she was a lovely person who used Phil's memories to try and encourage people not to follow his lifestyle. I remember her using the phrase "love his music not his lifestyle".

OK. Hands up. That’s my opinion but with hindsight this is not the place to air it. We’ve got a family anniversary this week, five girls (pre-teen upto early forties) lost their Dad a year ago pretty much without warning, death and it's consequences are looming a lot at the moment but that’s of no concern to anyone on here.

Fuckin’ Freddie Mercury on the other hand…

One of the greatest song writers ever.
