It’s a story told with a lot of inside knowledge and a lot of love: Doherty became a friend of Lynott’sBy Maria HaskinsThe story of Thin Lizzy is in many ways the story of , and it’s a story with a lot of glorious highs and a lot of tragic lows. This book by Harry Doherty goes deep inside the life of the band: how it formed, how it struggled through the early lean years, and then hit the big time. It’s a story told with a lot of inside knowledge and a lot of love: Doherty became a friend of Lynott’s, and his love and respect for the band, the band’s music, and for the front-man is obvious and really adds to the reading experience.Gorham provides some real insight as well, and some heartbreaking and hilarious insider stories: his feelings of trepidation the first time he hit the stage with Thin Lizzy in Ireland is a prime example. Both Gorham and Doherty illustrate vividly in this book how hard it was for Thin Lizzy to find a producer capable of capturing the band’s live energy in the studio. (Just imagine if Thin Lizzy had found their own George Martin!). There are lots of stories here about the many different guitarists that came and went (and came back again) through the years, and some brilliant tales from Gorham about writing songs with Lynott, touring the US, and how that signature guitar sound came about.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great info about great band, needed a wee bit editingBy EdvisAny fan of Lizzy will find this interesting, and the book makes a strong case that these lads were the best live hard rock band ever, but never reaching their true potential due to hard drugs and lack of care and feeding from beginning to end. Like the Stones, the band's greatness was due to a perfect core -- bass and vox (Lynott), drums (Downey), and guitar (Gorham) -- and seemed able to keep making decent music and weather almost any storm, mainly the revolving door of lead guitar players. Except there was no Mick to get his head above water and keep the sub connected to the surface when too much of the core (Lynott and Gorham) sunk under the weight of it all -- especially the drugs.All that writ, the book could have used a decent editor to eliminate some needless typos and factual faux pas, plus build a better armature to tell a very dramatic story. This is a rock n roll tragedy of the highest order, a great band that could have taken the crown had Lynott been able to pull out of the dive. Especially at the end, things jump around a bit and some sentences simply don't make sense. Lizzy deserves a decent edit, boys!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It all makes sense nowBy Lucky DayAs a fan since 1978's album, it finally all makes sense now. There are some serious grammatical issues in the book, more so as it nears the end. On at least one occasion a whole sentence was omitted. Other times sentences were incomplete, or difficult to comprehend either because of grammatical issues or the Irish jargon. I get the sense that the writers/editors were crunching to get the book finished by a release date. That aside, this is a great and insightful book about the life and times of Thin Lizzy from beginning to end. It seems to cover just about everything I never knew but always wondered about the band. I could hardly put it down, and there weren't too many boring spots like there are in a lot of rock star biographies. Not sure what else to say except that it's a fabulous read for Thin Lizzy fans.

Thin Lizzy's story told by the people directly involved including current band members, former guitarists, road crew, management, family and friends.Covers their origins in Dublin, stories of the band on the road and how the years of partying, drug-taking and nonstop touring eventually took its toll on not only the band members but also their families.Details how the albums Jailbreak and The Boys Are Back in Town took the band to the top of the charts just as they were to become bankrupt.The true insiders' account of a real rock 'n roll tale.
