    Legends

    Thin Lizzy: Bad Reputation Documentary profiling Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, including archive footage, interviews and photographs. Formed in Dublin in 1969, the group hit a creative and commercial peak in the late 1970s with a line-up including frontman Phil Lynott and guitarists Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham, but drugs and alcohol took their toll on the band

    It'll be interesting to see if this is a new documentary or just the old RTE one rehashed and renamed.

    It's also followed by Iron Maiden: Flight 666 and then a Classic Albums programme - Paranoid. :)

    I bought 666 and thought it was very superficial, little enough real behind the scenes and bar nicko they didn't seem too interested.
    I was a bit disappointed, the live footage though is great

    Be interest to hear opinions after viewing tonight....

    :pac:

    Truculent so and so!

    I find I get :( when I see pictures of Lynott in his last year or two. In retropsect it was always likely to end badly, and yet Scott Gorham who was also strung out is a picture of late middle aged good health.

    Just finished watching it, someone needs to tell Philip Glenister that's not how you pronounce Phil's surname...they kind of skipped over everything to do with Grand Slam and Phil's death....and they never featured his mother, which was a little bit unusual...

    It was about Thin Lizzy not Lynott (yes I know the two are inseperable).

    Agreed....you don't get any Some Kind of Monster insights here. About half of it was just live footage, much of the rest of it was "Ah, that Janicks a mad chap!" kind of thing. It was cool seeing Bruce the pilot though.
