Thin Lizzy/Thunder And Lightning Studio Demo & more

The complete studio demo of THIN LIZZY’s masterpiece last album “THUNDER AND LIGHTNING”, which was produced to decorate the band’s beautiful end with the participation of young blonde gentleman John Sykes, is now available for the first time! Many of the songs have Phil’s vocals recorded in completely different takes from the official ones, and some parts have completely different lyrics, so fans must listen. In the representative song COLD SWEAT, the famous riff is covered with a count, and Phil’s lyrics and singing melody are different, and the vocal repetition until the chorus is long, making this a take that fans will love. The title track THUNDER & LIGHTNING does not have a recorded chorus, and features a completely different fast-playing solo by Sykes. SOMEDAY SHE IS GOING TO HIT BACK is a complete backing track with no vocals or keyboard solos. In this way, you can find noticeable differences and differences unique to demos everywhere, and it can be said that this is an irresistible take for fans. Also included are two versions of DON’T LET IT SLIP AWAY, which ended up not being included in the album. Also, the bonus track is the first ever personal demo from this period, which will astonish John Sykes fans around the world! (This is a rare take that has not been circulated even among traders who have leaked the album.) Sykes plays riffs and solos to the rhythm machine, and two songs, a fast tune and a mid-tempo tune, are included, and these two tracks alone are worth getting. The sound quality is also top class. There are many highlights throughout the album, and it is a must-have for fans of Phil Lynott and John Sykes. Commentary on each song of THUNDER AND LIGHTNING DEMOS 1.THE SUN GOES DOWN There are no sound effects in the intro and ending. The delay processing of the vocals is different. The synth overlay is much less than in the final mix. The guitar solo appears to be from the same take. 2.BAD HABITS Starts with a human voice count. There is no cowbell after the riff. The delay on the vocals is shallow overall. The guitar solo is different (it was still unfinished, so it’s almost nonexistent). The ending is longer than on the album. 3.THIS IS THE ONE Vocals are a completely different take. There is no guitar noise in the intro. At the beginning of the guitar solo, Phil screams “Ahhhh!”, which is not in the final mix. The ending is longer than on the album. 4.THUNDER AND LIGHTNING The vocal melody in the chorus is missing. The highlight is that two completely different takes of the guitar solo are used. 5.COLD SWEAT The guitar riff is covered with a count that is not on the official release. The lyrics and vocal melody are different, and the vocal repetition until the chorus is also long. As one of Phil’s representative songs from his later years, this track is a treasure for Phil fans. 6.BABY PLEASE DON’T GO Includes a human voice count. A completely different take with a completely different melody. 7. HEART ATTACK This one also has a completely different melody. 8. DON’T LET IT SLIP AWAY #1 Not included on the album 9. DON’T LET IT SLIP AWAY #2 Not included on the album 10. THE HOLY WAR This one also has a completely different vocal take 11. SOMEDAY SHE IS GOING TO HIT BACK The intro sound effects are not included.
