Thin Lizzy's most recent chart success came 5 years after Philip's death. Scott Gorham and Brian Downey went back into the studio and through the magic of modern technology were able to replace the drum and guitar tracks on a studio recording of DEDICATION that Philip had started (probably with GRAND SLAM) but never released. The end result was the recording of Dedication which became the title track of a greatest hits CD (Dedication: The Very Best of Thin Lizzy, 1991) and companion video. Some sources credit Gary Moore as also being involved in this recording, but all available information indicates that Scott Gorham did all the guitar work. Although Gary was invited to participate, the project was apparently rushed to completion before he could take part.... he is said to have learned of this when he heard the final version on the radio while he was busy working out ideas for the song. Also, song writing credits for this song are generally listed as LYNOTT but in actual fact it is more likely that it was written by LAURENCE ARCHER (Grand Slam) either by himself or possibly in conjunction with Philip.

In 1993 Bobby Tench performed as the leadsinger in the An Evening With Thin Lizzy Band which featured Brian Downey, Brian (Robbo) Robertson, Doish Nagle & Dough Brookie. They did a small tour in Ireland only.

In 1994 a NEW Thin Lizzy went on tour as A TRIBUTE TO PHIL LYNOTT. The band featured John Sykes (BLUE MURDER), Scott Gorham, Brian Downey, Darren Wharton, with Marco Mendoza (BLUE MURDER) on bass.

That same year BLUE MURDER released a tribute to Philip Lynott album. This live album was released in Japan only and was called Screaming Blue Murder.

In 1996, yet another greatest hits album was released. This one, Wild One, was intended to include a new vesion of the title track, recorded in much the same way as the song Dedication had been, but apparently the master tapes were stolen and as a result the title track does not even appear on the album. In Japan only, this was issued as a 2 CD set, featuring an extra disk of previously released but very rare live recordings, mostly b-sides and promo items.

In 1999 they toured again as Thin Lizzy, but with Tommy Aldridge on drums. Since then they have continued to keep the name alive, touring again 2000 and 2001. Click to see what the fans say.

Scott and John have continued touring under the Thin Lizzy name, with changing additional musicians, in 2002 and 2003. In 2004 they have been touring in the USA and Canada, opening for DEEP PURPLE, and on one leg of the tour, JOE SATRIANI. For this tour RANDY GREGG is on bass and MICHAEL LEE on drums.

In December 2000, yet another greatest hits album, The Boys Are Back In Town - Swedish Collection, was released. This time it was extremely well done! It includes a bonus second disk with rare tracks and B-sides and a note from Philip himself. Initially released in Sweden only, (with liner notes in Swedish), it may be released (without the bonus disk) in other countries eventually.

In early 2002 a 4 cd boxed set was released, apparently in the UK only. This had been promised by Thin Lizzy management in 1997 as a 1998 release and after many missed release dates, various changes in track listings and cover art, it finally materialized.

Several years in the making and most recently scheduled for release in early 2004 is another book, this one by ALAN BYRNE tentatively to be called Thin Lizzy: Soldiers Of Fortune. On the left is the preliminary art for this book.

As a musician and songwriter myself, Thin Lizzy appealed to me on several levels. As a listener, I loved their sound, particularly the way they could blend "soft and pretty" with "hard and heavy", all in the same song (Cowboy Song for example). As a guitarist, I was very impressed with their implementation of the dual lead guitar sound. Rather than have two guitar personalities battling each other for the spotlight, Thin Lizzy's guitarists performed with the grace of a synchronized swim team. As a songwriter, I was often touched by the emotion Philip Lynott could capture and convey through song. I appreciated his sense of humour and wit, and his ability to "play with words" to get just the right sound or effect, even in such serious songs as Got To Give It Up. His sense of humour was often heard in his chat between songs in concert, or in radio and TV interviews. For an insight into Philip and Thin Lizzy in his own words, as well as those of his mother, Eric Bell, Scott Gorham and various other people who knew or worked with him, be sure to check out I Am Just A Cowboy.

August 19th, 2005 saw the unveiling of a statue in tribute to Philip. Funded in large part by fans, this statue has been almost 2 decades coming. The life size statue of Phil is situated on Harry Street outside one of Dublin’s most famous rock venues - Bruxelles. Hear the details of one fan's journey to be there.

As evidenced by the incredible number of high quality THIN LIZZY web-sites and TRIBUTE bands around the world, all these years later, Philip Lynott and the band THIN LIZZY have been and still are a major influence on music lovers the world over.
