The Top Twenty Greatest Metal Albums Of All Time
Number 15
This was the first Thin Lizzy record I had in my collection. Memories of this are of me playing it to absolute death and learning every single drum lick and fill throughout. I think if you slapped this one on today, I cold air-drum the entire album without missing a beat.
Featuring the classic Lynott, Gorham, Moore and Downey line-up, Black Rose went on to become Thin Lizzy’s most successful studio album.
Blistering harmony lead guitar throughout overlaying some fluid-as-hell Phil Lynott bass guitar and Downey’s drumming. Just so fuckn perfect in every way.
And each and every St Patrick’s Day, I’ll pull this sucker out and blast the title track out nice and loud. Even tho I don’t have a single shred of Irish DNA in my entire family tree, you play this one nice and loud for old Philo!
