Here's another good conversation I had this evening.
I want it to be known that I'm not a very politically-correct person. I feel that America has become an oversensitive place where people or more worried about feelings and not offending people than being correct, truthful, or just easy-going.
For example, I'm well aware Phil Lynott is half-white, half-black. However, in the course of many casual conversations I have with people, especially ones not that familiar with Lynott or Lizzy, I might say something like 'Lynott was a black-irishman', or 'Lynott was one of the few successful black rock stars', or something like that. By saying this, I'm not denying his half-whiteness, I'm just choosing to accentuate his "blackness", because it makes him more unique. It's technically not dishonest, at least in my mind, because I've always considered a person black if they are 25%, 50%, or 100% black. I don't mean it like I'm a racist. I have black friends, and they've told me they don't mind being called 'black' as opposed to African-American. Some even prefer it. Even the technically bi-racial ones don't mind. I also do it because it's just simple, easy, and to be honest, no one really gives a fuck anyway. But of course, there's always one or two pedantic assholes that want to make a big deal out of something like that. In my mind, making a big deal about someone's race is just pointless anyway, and it's probably half the reason we still have racial problems today, because people just care too much about pointless bullshit such as skin color and being overly PC about it. I like Phil Lynott because what he wrote and sang about, not because of what color he is.
Anyway here is the conversation. Any thoughts about this would be appreciated.

blacksabfan Phil was ~Half Caste~ NOT Black you oviously have never irelands one cultural society..Biracial and Black is different..All biracials are White people with a little more melanin and Tanned skin.Thers white people who go 2 shades darker than phil and Obama when they in hot sunny countries like Spain Africa and Brazil..And heres another suprize (Bob Marley) wasnt black either he was ~Half White~
blacksabfan (1 hour ago)
If someone is visibly black, I call them black. I'm not one to be technical about it. I'm not really into the PC technicalities. I don't care if it's 25%, 50% or 100%. There is nothing factually incorrect about saying Phil Lynott was black. He was. I never said he was 100% black. To be honest I don't even care, I just know he is one of my favorite musicians.
OBAMAisHalfCaste (49 minutes ago)
Well then you are very Dumb and Dull .You cant just labelle peoples ethnicity just because you want them to be something that they are not and never will be.. Phil was White to he was just as much White as he was Black . He belongs to both race groups
blacksabfan (31 minutes ago)
Black and Half-Caste isn't ethnicity. That's race. Ethnicity is Irish, German etc. I mean if you're going to call me dumb and then make a gross error like that, you probably should just stop talking. My point is that in popular culture, if you're part black, you get called black. Right or wrong, that's how it goes. I think everyone that is a fan of Phil Lynott is aware he's not completely black. It's not insulting the man...Phil called himself black. It's an observation that's simplified. If it makes you feel better, if I was writing a term paper on the subject, I would make his racial origin very clear, but in casual conversation I'm going to call him a black irishman. Comphrende?
OBAMAisHalfCaste (18 minutes ago)
Well then you would just be hypocrting yourself writing his real racial background down but then speaking a Lie to ..What is that its nonsence..Listen dude .Phil was Biracial not Black as you already know so give him respect and other biracials respect by calling them that.How would you feel if someone called you Yellow or purple when your not No you are wrong im not here to insult but to bring the truth of god to your eyes..In Africa he is White i have been there and all Biracials are lebeled as White its wrong..And yes most labele them as Black to.But why follow there stupidity and lower yourselfs to there dumbness
blacksabfan (13 minutes ago)
First off, I wouldn't give a shit if someone called me yellow or purple or whatever. I'm more concerned about my accomplishments, which is why I feel stupid arguing about this. Lynott's accomplishments are being belittled because of your hellbent obsession with proving that he's biracial, something that I've never once denied. Secondly, you keep combining race and ethnicity as if they are interchangable. They are not.
Do not comment anymore or you will be banned. End of discussion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fucker then chose to comment on my channel, and I chose to comment back on his, saying that his obsession seemed a bit unhealthy, and that perhaps he could be doing something more important with his life than worrying about whether or not someone is correctly classifying a person's race. Of course, he deleted my comments on his channel, because they might be seen by a person with a brain and they might use some common sense in determining that this guy is a little psychotic. I also made the point that people might take him more seriously if he typed comments without 50 typing errors in them...but what the hell do I know?
His biggest mistake however is that he chooses to use race and ethnicity as if they are interchangible terms. They are not. Race is black, white, hispanic, pacific islander, native american...etc. To be very un-PC about this...race is your color. Ethnicity, on the other hand, has to do with sharing traits through a common heritage. Irish, German, Czech, English, Scottish would be mine. Jews are an ethnic group. Ethnic groups share traits, be it linguistic, cultural, behavioral, religious, etc, and race is just one factor in that. Race can be a common trait within an ethnic group, but it in itself is NOT ethnicity. Phil Lynott was half-black and that is his race, but his ethnicity is wholly Irish. Even though Phil's dad was from British Guyana, I would claim that Phil shares none of ethnic traits associated with Guyana (whatever they are). I really don't see how that can be debated. Likewise there's a lot of white people in South Africa who are in fact African, but they sure as hell aren't black. So they aren't the same.
Basicially I know me going around calling Phil Lynott black is not as accurate as saying he's biracial, and maybe I'm technically wrong, but I'm also saying that I don't really give a fuck and that I understand the truth and just don't see a need to get overly technical about it. I certainly don't feel like calling him black is insulting. (Besides, I can't call him African-American, he's neither from Africa or America). Phil called himself black. Black Boys on the Corner? I'll be damned if he wasn't writing about himself as a kid. Phil knew he was biracial, but had no problem being called black. I view it the same way.

Another YouTube Idiot...
Hey everyone.
I had an interesting conversation today with a gentleman known as Ziggyztarz. It was on the audio clip of "Stop Messing Around" featuring Gary Moore and Phil Lynott trading off vocals. It can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlxwF4GyHO0
Lynott fans will be amused by what is said in the comments section. If you don't want to bother, then I've taken the liberty to copy them here for your amusement. There's a few points I want to be clear about first.
First off, this guy claims to have known Phil Lynott in the early 1970s. Prior to this conversation he had talked about knowing him in Germany and that he somehow "didn't get what was promised to him" or something to that effect. He also went on about "nazi uniforms"...not sure what that was about, but basically I think this guy has a few issues. Lynott probably did have the misfortune of running into this man in Germany in the early 70s and probably realized that he was off his rocker (no pun intended!) and wanted nothing to do with him. That's just my theory. Here's the conversation below:
Ziggyztarz (6 hours ago)
I don't hear Phil singing, are you sure he was with Gary at this concert?
Phil usually sang.......
The Photo is from 'Out in the Fields', ('85) just before Phil died.
What? You don't hear Phil singing?? He sings the whole second half of the song! Not to mention that Gary Moore at the very end says "Phil Lynott...Thank You...Goodnight". Obviously he didn't bother to listen to that part. I hadn't realized this right away, or else I'd have mentioned it sooner, but I thought it was just so blatantly obvious that Lynott was singing that this really wasn't needed...
blacksabfan (5 hours ago)
Yes, Phil sings the whole second part of the song. 2:12-2:33 is Phil.
And yeah, I know the pic is from "Out In the Fields". I took it from a stillframe of the video right from here on YouTube.
Ziggyztarz (5 hours ago)
Sorry, but you are wrong that isn't Phil singing it's Gary. Phil was close to me, I know his voice, this isn't!
Again, why do people think that just because they knew someone, that this makes them more correct?Phil Lynott was there. He sang on that song. Gary Moore thanks him and the audience at the end. It's on the Emerald Islevideo and it's public record. Belfast 1984. It happened, and my ears confirm it. Other people have already commented that they actually SAW it. You're just fucking wrong. I really don't get it.
blacksabfan (4 hours ago)
It's on "The Man and His Music" 7 disc bootleg set. It's definitely Phil in the second part. I've heard enough of Gary Moore and Phil Lynott to tell the difference between the two.
I think you really need to lay off the drugs...I mean this isn't the first post you've made that I've had to go "WTF?!" at.
Maybe the drug thing was underhanded...but c'mon, can you blame me? If you had seen some of the other things this guy has said you'd understand...
Ziggyztarz (1 hour ago)
If you continue to claim to be some kind of 'expert' and also claim the tracks as yours, I am going to FLAG your site. I don't use 'Drugs' your insult is the last straw!
Phil was a friend of mine, it is NOT his voice!
Never once have I claimed the tracks as mine, at least in the sense that "I own them". Yes, I have copies of them and that's what I'm referring to when I speak about them possessively. I didn't write the songs or perform them obviously. I haven't 'poached' other's videos (unlike certain other people). Likewise, I've never claimed to be an expert. I feel that I'm certainly knowledgable, but I don't feel I'm some supreme expert. However, I am sure on this specific point, and there should be ZERO debate about it.
Secondly, how does one 'flag' an entire site? Good luck with that. Not that I'm worried about it, but if I ever get shut down, I'll just get a new account and the songs will go right back up. And then I'll find the person(s) responsible and villianize them to the point where they won't be able to come on YouTube and hear about how much of a douchebag they are. Sure, I've made a few enemies here and there, but I think there's way more people that appreciate what I've done than there are detractors. I'm not going to pretend to like someone if I don't. It's dishonest. And yes, I can really be a jerk sometimes, but I honestly think certain people need that...sometimes being nice to them and trying to explain it rationally just doesn't come across to them. Basically, sometimes people need a kick in the ass. I have no problem doing that, and I'm not too concerned with how others feel about it.
blacksabfan (1 hour ago)
I don't know why you're being so hostile, but go ahead. Flag me for what? Because I disagree with your assessment? I don't know if you knew Phil Lynott or not, but regardless you are WRONG. Just because you supposedly knew Lynott doesn't mean you are automatically correct. For the record this was recorded in Belfast in 1984. It's quite verifiable. I suggest you go do a bit of research before you suggest I am wrong.
So please go ahead. I'm really not that concerned.
And for the record, I've never said I was an expert. However, you don't need to be a master chef to know that a turd sandwich tastes like shit. Catch my drift??
Take the last line to heart guys. It works wonders on those people that THINK they know everything, but in reality know nothing.

Help with lyrics for rare Lynott tracks.
Hi everyone. Sorry for the extended absence. I've been working like a mad man.
Lately, I've been getting several requests for lyrics to some of the rare Lynott/Grand Slam/Lizzy songs. Obviously I can't just look them up online and post them, because they haven't been posted by anyone else. So, I've painstakingly tried to transcribe some of them myself...which has led to mixed results.
Here's where you come in. I'm requesting help to transcribe any songs that I've posted related to Lizzy and Lynott. This also goes for any Sabbath fans who would like to transcribe any of the alternate versions of Paranoid and MoR tracks that I've posted. It's more beneficial to have several sets of ears than it is just one. People hear differently and I think it's a good way to get involved. If anyone is willing to help me out, I'd be more than happy to pass along some stuff from my collection.
If you decide to transcribe a song, just go ahead and comment on it and you can either post your work there in the comments section, pm it to me at YouTube, or email it to me at sweeneyrp@hotmail.com. Even if you can only get a few lines of a song...anything is helpful.
For example, one tough song I've been having trouble with is "She Cries" by Grand Slam. The quality isn't the greatest and I can't make out significant portions. Another user gave his input and while some of it I think it is correct, there's other parts that I totally disagree with, and that emphasizes the importance of having several people listen to it. I'd like to be able to get a lot of these songs transcribed correctly (or as best as possible) so they can be posted on lyric sites.
The "Real Canadian" James Taylor (www.trcjt.ca/ab950/lizzy.html) also has attempted to post lyrics to some of the rarer tracks (notably Revolution, Catholic Charm, and Don't Let Him Slip Away). I, however, do not hear the same things he heard when he created his transcription of the lyrics. I could go into this in detail but it's not important. If you're truly interested, compare my transcription of Don't Let Him Slip Away against his transcription and check out the differences. I'm not saying he's wrong and I'm right...I very well could be wrong...but I'd like some more opinions on the subject. For the record, his page is amazing and he obviously has taken a lot of time over the years compiling all that information. If you haven't checked out his page, you should.
That's all I got for now. Should have a new post up sometime this week.

Idiot #3. I said I'd have 5 before the year was over...
I thought I'd share this funny exchange with you all. It was posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3TRfk2KuqE
It starts out innocently enough with a guy giving a simple but perfectly reasonable opinion.

zzellner9 (3 days ago)
its good but id say megolomania,sabbath bloody sabbath,thrill of it all,and under the sun have to be some of their all time best
----------------------------------------
Fair enough right? Then of course an asshole shows up. There's many different kinds of assholes that post stupid shit in the comments of my videos. Usually I complain about the types that are about 14 years old and don't know jackshit about anything, but this is the polar opposite of that. The guy I'm talking about is the 40 some year old Ozzy-sabbath only fan that thinks he knows everything, and that anyone younger than him knows absolutely nothing. Of course he makes no distinctions...if you're younger, you're automatically an idiot. See where I'm going with this...I'm sure all of you have had to deal with someone like this at some point in your lives. Anyway, our douchebag idiot friend shows up and responds to zzellner9.

nah......sabbath's best ? best ever ? let me think kid...i'll shoot from the hipi'll list sabbath's best songs ever (not in order) here we gowheels of confusion/the straightenerhand of doomwarning/behind the wall of sleep/n.i.bkilling yourself to livefairies wear bootsafter foreverthe writunder the sun----megolomania ? lol not even close, bloody sabbath a classic, but sabatoge was weak and the writ is all thats worthy !
-----------------------------------
This is what irriatates me. It's not the fact he has a differing opinion. It's his haughty know-it-all attitude. Calling people "kid", and trying to act like he's some epic all-knowing Sabbath badass by saying he's going to "shoot from the hip" and name a whopping 10 songs that are automatically the greatest, and fuck what anyone else says. He makes it sound like fucking Iommi himself decreed that those songs are best and he's right and everyone else is just a stupid punk kid. That's what I hate. It's that attitude. Important lesson...it's not always the opinion you have about something, it's how you deliver it. I can deliver my opinions in a very civil manner, or I can be the biggest dick in the world. Word choice and tone is really the only difference. So here's how I responded to the douche. I think it was fair.
------------------------------------
blacksabfan (16 hours ago)
You make it sound like there is some definitive list of Sabbath's best songs that is 100% fact. Ha. I think Megalomania is one of their best songs, and I know a few other people who think like I do. I also don't think Fairies Wear Boots belongs in any Sabbath top ten. I don't think Warning belongs in a top ten either. It's not even an original...I wouldn't normally give a shit about this, but you calling people "kid" and talking like you're some expert makes you look like a douche.
I got a little harsh at the end, but I'm opinionated. You don't call anyone kid unless they mouth off or say something stupid. That's the only time I've ever used it.
Of course the douchebag responds. This time I'm going to receive his wrath.
-------------------------------------
cholulasaucehot (15 hours ago)
warning isnt an original ?drop your nut sack kidthen talk to mewarning is argueably the best fuckin song off the "original" BLACK SABBATH/BLACK SABBATHdont put your lack of knowledge against my sabbath wisdom....douchebet you don't even know what half the songs are abouthow could you ? you dont know wether your ass is punched or bored so shut your face kiddo
---------------------------------------------
Wow. Now he's not only acting like an idiot. He's proving that he is one. "Warning" is a cover. Most Sabbath fans know this. I'm not even sure what he's going for in the last line, but it's sort of hilarious. I also like how he made a list and said Warning was one of their greatest songs...but then throws in the word "argueably". Dipshit, if something is arguable, then that means it can be debated. It's not automatic fact. One minute he is spouting off something like it's concrete fact and the next it's arguable. What a fucking tool. I guess it's on now...
Oh, and I should mention...this guy subscribed to my channel 5 hrs before his comment. Obviously he liked my work...so I'm not really sure why he's trying to pick a fight with me. I also don't understand why he thinks I'm an idiot, when I've posted 150+ Sabbath audios and seem to know at least a little bit about those...so you'd have to think I might know just a little bit about Sabbath...just a little...
See why I get pissed off?...there's nothing in anything he's saying or doing that remotely makes any logical sense.
--------------------------------------------
blacksabfan (12 hours ago)
You shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you...ever hear that quote?
Since you're obviously an idiot, let me enlighten you. "Warning" was first written and performed by Aynsley Dunbar's 'Retaliation'. It is a COVER. Go look it up if you want. I already did. Way to make a complete ass of yourself...
Oh, and after my nuts drop, do you want to suck on them for me? That would be fantastic. Thanks. Can't wait for your next message. I'm sure you'll further enlighten us all...
cholulasaucehot (1 hour ago)
i dont give a shit if it isa cover...its off their first album 20 years before you were born...furthermore its still better than whatever i said it was better than in my previous postsabbath got worse as they went along not betterbut you and the other dopey kids in here feel just the opposite...fuck sabatoge it just cant compare to the earlier stuff periodthats an opinion the majority would hold without doubt ps. fuck you man
i'm fuckin 17 years older than you punkjust because you read a little fine print inside an album cover....(i mean dvd sleave, your to young to have ever enjoyed albums) you think you know somethingyou know nothing.......in 1985 when you were born i was a junior in high school and had already been listening to sabbath for 5 years (7th grade) by the time you picked up a sabbath tape in say the year 2000 i was 32 years old and listening to my wife yell, your a punk kid is all
-------------------------------------------------
Well I like how he sidestepped the whole '"Warning" isn't a cover' issue. And as usual, the douchebag 40+ year old Ozzy Sabbath fan retorts to spouting off about his age. As if that somehow makes you superior. Just like owning LPs somehow makes you superior. Last time I checked age was a number and it had nothing to do with how smart a person is.
-------------------------------------------------
blacksabfan (10 minutes ago)
I know lots of idiots who are older than me, I also know a few people younger than me who are smarter than I was when I was their age...what the fuck is your point exactly? I don't need to hear your life story. I don't give a fuck what supposed credentials you THINK you have that makes you an 'expert'. You're not. You got owned. I never even said Sabotage as a whole was better than any of their earlier albums. Just the one song. Reading comprehension really isn't your thing though I guess.
Nevermind that you actually subscribed to my channel, presumably because you like what I post, but then turn around and talk shit to me like I don't have a clue about anything. That will definitely bring out my good side...dolt. Yeah, I only posted all this stuff and I don't know ANYTHING about it. Nevermind that this issue started because of a difference of PERSONAL OPINION. Then you mouthed off and blew it out of porportion.That's what douches like yourself do though. Enjoy the ban asshole.
----------------------------------------------
Last night, I also personally sent him a PM congratulating him on being the fastest person to subscribe and then be forcibly unsubscribed by me. He's also the first person to receive a lifetime ban. Usually the people I ban get about a year tops and I delete the list and start over. Hey, I'm a forgiving guy. I hope that idiots reflect on their actions and come back a year later as smarter people...especially since most of them are young anyway. Too bad this idiot isn't young. He's a 41 year old that acts like he's 5, so he will get no sympathy from me. All he gets is to be one of my 5 nominees for idiot of the year. I think he's in the lead right now...although 'expiredgoose' is still a possible winner too... maybe someone else will step up and prove that this isn't the dumbest person I've ever had the misfortune of talking to.
It starts out innocently enough with a guy giving a simple but perfectly reasonable opinion.

its good but id say megolomania,sabbath bloody sabbath,thrill of it all,and under the sun have to be some of their all time best
----------------------------------------
Fair enough right? Then of course an asshole shows up. There's many different kinds of assholes that post stupid shit in the comments of my videos. Usually I complain about the types that are about 14 years old and don't know jackshit about anything, but this is the polar opposite of that. The guy I'm talking about is the 40 some year old Ozzy-sabbath only fan that thinks he knows everything, and that anyone younger than him knows absolutely nothing. Of course he makes no distinctions...if you're younger, you're automatically an idiot. See where I'm going with this...I'm sure all of you have had to deal with someone like this at some point in your lives. Anyway, our douchebag idiot friend shows up and responds to zzellner9.

nah......sabbath's best ? best ever ? let me think kid...i'll shoot from the hipi'll list sabbath's best songs ever (not in order) here we gowheels of confusion/the straightenerhand of doomwarning/behind the wall of sleep/n.i.bkilling yourself to livefairies wear bootsafter foreverthe writunder the sun----megolomania ? lol not even close, bloody sabbath a classic, but sabatoge was weak and the writ is all thats worthy !
-----------------------------------
This is what irriatates me. It's not the fact he has a differing opinion. It's his haughty know-it-all attitude. Calling people "kid", and trying to act like he's some epic all-knowing Sabbath badass by saying he's going to "shoot from the hip" and name a whopping 10 songs that are automatically the greatest, and fuck what anyone else says. He makes it sound like fucking Iommi himself decreed that those songs are best and he's right and everyone else is just a stupid punk kid. That's what I hate. It's that attitude. Important lesson...it's not always the opinion you have about something, it's how you deliver it. I can deliver my opinions in a very civil manner, or I can be the biggest dick in the world. Word choice and tone is really the only difference. So here's how I responded to the douche. I think it was fair.

You make it sound like there is some definitive list of Sabbath's best songs that is 100% fact. Ha. I think Megalomania is one of their best songs, and I know a few other people who think like I do. I also don't think Fairies Wear Boots belongs in any Sabbath top ten. I don't think Warning belongs in a top ten either. It's not even an original...I wouldn't normally give a shit about this, but you calling people "kid" and talking like you're some expert makes you look like a douche.
I got a little harsh at the end, but I'm opinionated. You don't call anyone kid unless they mouth off or say something stupid. That's the only time I've ever used it.
Of course the douchebag responds. This time I'm going to receive his wrath.
-------------------------------------

warning isnt an original ?drop your nut sack kidthen talk to mewarning is argueably the best fuckin song off the "original" BLACK SABBATH/BLACK SABBATHdont put your lack of knowledge against my sabbath wisdom....douchebet you don't even know what half the songs are abouthow could you ? you dont know wether your ass is punched or bored so shut your face kiddo
---------------------------------------------
Wow. Now he's not only acting like an idiot. He's proving that he is one. "Warning" is a cover. Most Sabbath fans know this. I'm not even sure what he's going for in the last line, but it's sort of hilarious. I also like how he made a list and said Warning was one of their greatest songs...but then throws in the word "argueably". Dipshit, if something is arguable, then that means it can be debated. It's not automatic fact. One minute he is spouting off something like it's concrete fact and the next it's arguable. What a fucking tool. I guess it's on now...
Oh, and I should mention...this guy subscribed to my channel 5 hrs before his comment. Obviously he liked my work...so I'm not really sure why he's trying to pick a fight with me. I also don't understand why he thinks I'm an idiot, when I've posted 150+ Sabbath audios and seem to know at least a little bit about those...so you'd have to think I might know just a little bit about Sabbath...just a little...
See why I get pissed off?...there's nothing in anything he's saying or doing that remotely makes any logical sense.
--------------------------------------------
blacksabfan (12 hours ago)
You shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you...ever hear that quote?
Since you're obviously an idiot, let me enlighten you. "Warning" was first written and performed by Aynsley Dunbar's 'Retaliation'. It is a COVER. Go look it up if you want. I already did. Way to make a complete ass of yourself...
Oh, and after my nuts drop, do you want to suck on them for me? That would be fantastic. Thanks. Can't wait for your next message. I'm sure you'll further enlighten us all...
cholulasaucehot (1 hour ago)
i dont give a shit if it isa cover...its off their first album 20 years before you were born...furthermore its still better than whatever i said it was better than in my previous postsabbath got worse as they went along not betterbut you and the other dopey kids in here feel just the opposite...fuck sabatoge it just cant compare to the earlier stuff periodthats an opinion the majority would hold without doubt ps. fuck you man
i'm fuckin 17 years older than you punkjust because you read a little fine print inside an album cover....(i mean dvd sleave, your to young to have ever enjoyed albums) you think you know somethingyou know nothing.......in 1985 when you were born i was a junior in high school and had already been listening to sabbath for 5 years (7th grade) by the time you picked up a sabbath tape in say the year 2000 i was 32 years old and listening to my wife yell, your a punk kid is all
-------------------------------------------------
Well I like how he sidestepped the whole '"Warning" isn't a cover' issue. And as usual, the douchebag 40+ year old Ozzy Sabbath fan retorts to spouting off about his age. As if that somehow makes you superior. Just like owning LPs somehow makes you superior. Last time I checked age was a number and it had nothing to do with how smart a person is.
-------------------------------------------------
blacksabfan (10 minutes ago)
I know lots of idiots who are older than me, I also know a few people younger than me who are smarter than I was when I was their age...what the fuck is your point exactly? I don't need to hear your life story. I don't give a fuck what supposed credentials you THINK you have that makes you an 'expert'. You're not. You got owned. I never even said Sabotage as a whole was better than any of their earlier albums. Just the one song. Reading comprehension really isn't your thing though I guess.
Nevermind that you actually subscribed to my channel, presumably because you like what I post, but then turn around and talk shit to me like I don't have a clue about anything. That will definitely bring out my good side...dolt. Yeah, I only posted all this stuff and I don't know ANYTHING about it.

6 more songs for you Lynott diehards.
Hi again everyone.
Here's another link with 6 more rare Lynott tracks from the 1984-1985 period. The only difference between these and the other links is that these tracks are in .mp3 @ 256kbps. For these tracks it's the best available quality that I personally have. If anyone has something better, I'd be more than happy to hear from you...or better yet, post it on a torrent or something and let everyone enjoy them.
The tracks are:
Samantha
No More (w/Steve Johnson)
Revolution (w/Steve Johnson)
Guiding Light
What's the Matter Baby (w/Junior Giscombe)
Catholic Charm
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LO9DMNGA
This brings me to my second point. I've been contacted by a few people about some of the shows I requested in an earlier post, a few of which were posted within the last two years on places like DIME and TTD. I've never been a big trader mostly do to the time and prep work it takes to work out a trade-with addition to having a couple bad experiences along the way. Besides that, I've always never been truly possessive over the music that is in my collection. It's just that--music. I've never understood why people boast huge collections and then never share any of it (or only share when something amazing appears.) I'd just like to make an appeal to people:
Share your stuff.
I know for a fact my collection could of been a lot bigger had I decided to trade shows to a select few, rather than share them over the net with everyone. I decided against this a long time ago, and that I would much rather allow people to hear it for free (truly for free) than to boast an insane collection, only to be despised and accused of being in it for some kind of ego-driven purpose. I've been accused of having one anyway with the whole YouTube page and my sometimes heavy-handed way of dealing with people, but I like to think of myself as quite humble, at least in person and to those I truly care about.
I'm not out of stuff to post. I have plenty of Sabbath material, some Lizzy interviews, a few tracks here and there...but someday I'm sure I will be. I know I've made enemies in the trading world with how I've gone about things. I don't care though, I'm 100% convinced I've done the right thing, although because of it, I know I'm sort of blacklisted from some people's trading pools. Also, I don't intend on posting 74 versions of the "Boys are Back In Town" or "Paranoid" just to stay relevant on YouTube. Once I feel I've exhaused my collection...that's it. I'll have done my part. I guess I'm hoping that a few other people out there (and some have) step up and continue to post, or some new people start posting gems from their collections. It's not about entitlement or trying to get something for free. I truly believe its the right thing to do. I might have rare tracks in my collection, but I certainly don't feel that I 'own' them, or that I'm more entitled to them than anyone else, hence the reason I share everything I get my hands on in the first place. I just happen to be lucky to have them.
I make this request now because it's the anniversary of what would of been Mr. Philip Lynott's 60th birthday on Thursday. I would love to see people who have shows, even if they might be fairly common or not long absent from the torrent trackers on DIME, TTD, TapeCity, etc. to make an appearance come Wed-Fri. I mean what better occasion is there? What is there to wait for? Rapture? Remember, you can't take it with you.
I myself will let the cat out of the bag now and say that I am uploading a show on TTD. I don't want to say which one, but it's a good one. I've had it almost a year now and have been careful not to post anything from it, just for this occasion. However, if things don't change, it might be the last Lizzy/Lynott related thing I offer on any torrent tracker. I know there's people out there with shows and while there's a few that have done so much already...there's other people that can do so much more.
