Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Come on, not so bad...........2005-11-05

This tribute did not come from the long line of "BOB KULICK TRIBUTE PRODUCTIONS". Maybe that was the problem. This one was produced by British guy Lea Hart.

The trouble begins already in the credits. There are not credits for each of the songs, just a general list of musicians involved in the project (from Paul Di'anno to Glenn Hughes), without telling the listener who performed in each song!!

AS for the recording itself, they are not so bad, in the sense that each line-up (whoever they were!) tried to give their own spin to the classics, instead of playing safe and covering the songs exactly like the original. You will lose absolutely NOTHING by not listening to this, even (or mainly!) if you're a die hard Thin Lizzy fan, but it's not that bad.

1 out of 5 stars Please allow NO STARS for rotted cabbage.......2005-06-04

One star gives this recording way too much credit. For years I thought that it would be really neat to emulate the Gorham/Robertson twin guitar duo, as well as the backing of Downey and a solid bass.

Here, this rag tag mix of jobless 80's metal die-hards try and make a giant stewing pot of rotted cabbage. They have destroyed any chance of a real tribute.

My guess is that the aging, balding lot of them thought they could grab a few bucks for m ashing out some classic Lynott masterpieces.

Thanks to Amazon for allowing me to sample before buying. Just for a giggle, ya gotta hear the lead vocalist (I think its the guy from Autograph ((turn up the radio)) ). He pouts and smears like he is auditioning for the Mascara Maidens, cica 1986.

Do it better, or mimic a master...... this crew from Barnum's sideshow does neither. They would fit better with red wigs and in the center ring, popping out of a tiny car.




2 out of 5 stars ONLY ONE MERIT.......2001-03-23

Only one merit in this "tribute": song selection. It really has on of Lizzy's greatest tunes ever. BUt the performances... well, just listen to the samples and you'll hear ...
