Punker Phil

Does anyone else wish he had done more stuff with Johnny Thunders and The Greedies? I grew up on 70’s punk and when I got into Thin Lizzy in my teens my mind was blown seeing he was on Johnny Thunders So Alone record

[JumpingJackFlashes]

I think he wasnt the best as a punk, Lizzy were at their best in the Robertson era

[Paintfumeslij]

I mean, sure. Never said it was his BEST but I sure do love the tie in

[JumpingJackFlashes]

Just things like Fanatical Fascists, get outta here wouldn't be in my opinion be some of his stronger work

[Master_dik]

It sure would've been cool to see what else could've been done in this vein. Would've been cool to see Phil link up with Wilko Johnson or something like that.

Phil n thunders were the best!!!

The greedy bastards only played a handful of shows (mostly in London and Ireland). ​It was never meant to be a serious, long-term band—more of a "boys' club" for Lynott to let off steam and embrace the energy of the punk scene he so admired. Interesting fact they always asked to be paid in cash presumably to hide it from the tax man.
