Thursday, March 9: Thin Lizzy, “The Holy War” [ENCORE]

The Today’s Metal Tune tumblr launched March 3, 2014.  To celebrate 9 years of METAL, this week we are revisiting some past favorites, showcasing memorable deep cuts from legendary and semi-legendary acts. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s followed, liked, reblogged and commented over the years, there is still a lot more metal to come…

R.I.P. Philip Lynott (1949-1986)

“The Holy War” was the sweeping and majestic epic on Thin Lizzy’s Thunder and Lightning, even though it was relatively brisk at 5 minutes.  Lizzy’s 1983 swansong was considered their most overtly metallic album, and not unfairly so: “Cold Sweat” was easily the heaviest thing they ever recorded.  “The Holy War” was not quite as metallic, but it married Phil Lynott’s masterful songwriting with the band’s newfound aggression- over a throbbing pulse was a classic Lizzy riff stacked with both harmony and might, while John Sykes let rip one of his trademark awesome solos.  Throughout it all, the swagger and class that made Thin Lizzy one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time remained in full force. Even as the band was nearing the end, even as the drugs and exhaustion had long since taken over, and even as most of the world had given up on them, Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy still had some life left, and could still take on all comers, and “The Holy War” was a rousing final statement of intent.

Nancy and Sid

Photo shoot of Sid and Nancy at Phil Lynott's house, Cricklewood, North London, summer 1978.

"When I shared a house with Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy there were often musicians around, that veritable duo Cook and Jones from the Sex Pistols were frequent visitors. Sid and Nancy came over with them a couple of times, they did not behave like they did in public, they were well behaved and polite, they loved watching black and white Elvis Presley movies on Philip's video recorder, which was a rarity back then. Some nights we would go to bed whilst they were still watching the TV, I would go downstairs in the morning and they would be gone but the living room would be clean and tidy, they had even emptied the ashtrays, not exactly what you would expect them to do. They were always respectful to Philip although Sid was not really interested in getting tips from him on bass playing, one night I asked them to pose for pictures in our bathroom, they duly obliged and the photo appeared on the front page of the NME." - Melky Davis

Release: February 1, 1999

Lyrics:

As I was goin' over

The Cork and Kerry Mountains

I saw Captain Farrell

And his money, he was countin'

I first produced my pistol

And then produced my rapier

I said, "Stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya"

I took all of his money

And it was a pretty penny

I took all of his money,

Yeah, and I brought it home to Molly

She swore that she loved me,

No, never would she leave me

But the devil take that woman,

Yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da

Whack for my daddy, oh

Whack for my daddy, oh

There's whiskey in the jar, oh

Being drunk and weary

I went to Molly's chamber

Takin' Molly with me

But I never knew the danger

For about six or maybe seven,

Yeah, in walked Captain Farrell

I jumped up, fired my pistols

And I shot him with both barrels

Yeah, musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, ha, yeah

Whack for my daddy, oh

Whack for my daddy, oh

There's whiskey in the jar, oh

Yeah, whiskey, yo, whiskey

Oh, oh, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah

Now some men like a fishin'

But some men like the fowlin'

Some men like to hear,

To hear the cannonball roarin'

Me, I like sleepin',

'Specially in my Molly's chamber

But here I am in prison,

Here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, heh, heh

Whack for my daddy, oh

Whack for my daddy, oh

There's whiskey in the jar, oh, yeah

Whiskey in the jar, oh

Songwriter:

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, hey

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, yeah

Traditional, Brian Michael Downey, Eric Bell, Philip Parris Lynott

SongFact:

In the first person, the song tells the story of a robber who makes good loot by attacking a (British) officer in the mountains, but who is subsequently betrayed and arrested by a woman with whom he has a love affair. The location of the events is the south-west of Ireland, with place names including Cork, Kerry, Kilkenny and Killarney. There are a total of seven stanzas, but only a few variants can be heard in full. An example of this is Gilgarra Mountain by Peter, Paul and Mary, released on their 1965 album A Song Will Rise. Otherwise, stanzas are omitted or combined in terms of content. There is an almost incalculable number of variants with different texts or names.

After each verse, a chorus is sung that mentions the Irish whiskey that gave it its name. In older versions, this is in a carboy or a bar instead of in a jug.

The original song is believed to originally date from the 17th or 18th century. The author is unknown.

Philip Parris “Phil” Lynott (August 20, 1949 – 4 January 1986) was the lead vocalist, bassist, and songwriter for the band Thin Lizzy. You might familiar with Phil or the band but, you probably heard their biggest single, “ The Boys Are Back In Town” the song is used in commercials, films, and television whenever a group of guys is gettin’ rowdy or something like that. Lynott was different from most artists because he was a black Irishman from Ireland, where he grew up with his mother. And he was a lead singer playing the bass which is very rare in rock music. After he became comfortable playing the bass he was able to form Thin Lizzy. The band had moderate success with their “bluesy hard rock” sound. Some consider them one of the forefathers of heavy metal. He went to form other bands and published a poetry book. I guess you could say Lynott falls into the category of Jimi Hendrix or any other black musician playing “ rock music” because he was a black guy playing heavy rock before it was more common than it is today. After Lynott passed away from pneumonia in,1986 the band went through various changes but will always be remembered for its time with Phil Lynott. He wasn't just like  Jimi Hendrix but playing the bass he was something different something unique.Lynott was a great songwriter and is influential to those familiar with his music.

Philip Lynott Shades by #JimFitzPatrick

"Every year around his anniversary or birthday I feel compelled to do something to remember my close friend, and collaborator, Thin Lizzy frontman, poet, and songwriter, Philip Lynott. I had intended to have this one finished in time for his anniversary on January 4, 2022. As usual, it took a lot longer so it was ready two weeks later.

Not that it mattered to anyone except myself but now it is time to release it as a print in time for his birthday commemorations on the 20th of August this year.

The image was inspired by a photograph by our late friend Mick Rock, who also did so many other great images including the amazing cover photo for Queens ‘Bohemian Rhapsody and a huge volume of work for David Bowie, another iconic figure himself.

Usually, my Lizzy artwork is flat line art with colour added but this is a work on linen canvas in pen, ink and acrylic. It is a little different from my usual take on Philip but it works I hope and will find its place in the gallery of images that I am creating for my wonderful, charismatic, and generous late friend and do him justice."
