The Sun Goes Down : Thin Lizzy's Final Years
Thin Lizzy - Book - by Martin Popoff
(2018)
Dublin's
Thin Lizzy have become one of the most revered cult acts of all time.
Studious and discerning fans of hard rock the world over revelling in
the storytelling acumen of the legendary Phil Lynott and the craft and
class of his band. Through numerous new interviews with most of the
principles involved and a mountain of painstaking research, The Sun Goes
Down is the sequel to From Dublin To Jailbreak and examines the second
half of the band's career from the making of Bad Reputation in 1977
through to 1983's Thunder And Lightning and the last concert at the
Reading Festival.
Alcohol
and drugs wreaked havoc between band members, producers and managers.
Line-up changes and a mostly grinding existence finally took its toll
after the smash hit records and sold-out tours. Author Martin Popoff's
celebrated record-by-record methodology highlights a new appreciation of
the deep album tracks hiding within this band's often forgotten later
years.
The book also reveals Phil Lynott in all his dastardly guises, making The Sun Goes Down, an essential read for the devoted fans.
