Listen To Phil Lynnot’s Legendary Bass Solo In 1982

It’s not easy being a bass player and the lead singer at the same time, yet, Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy made it seem like it’s an easy man’s job.

The supreme genius of Lynott didn’t come from an extensive formal training of the bass, but rather, his keen talent for hearing things that are innovative and efficient for the band’s music. Throughout most of his works, it felt like the bass was the leading instrument rather than what really was typical, and he used his blues style to manipulate lines and made sure that the people could appreciate the beauty that the bass instrument has.

Aside from that, Phil was also a man who doesn’t shy away from his fans for being active participants inside the live shows. A good thing about his abilities as a performer would be his “call-and-response” style of performing music live, which makes the audience feel more personally connected with the song and the singer as well.

There’s a good reason why Phil Lynott remains popular in today’s pop culture, and his generous efforts in music stamped his name on that. To know more about his talent, we’ll let you listen to his legendary bass solo recorded back in 1982. Enjoy!
