Since the death of the band's visionary leader Phil Lynott in the early '80s, the stature of Thin Lizzy has only grown larger over time. Their one-in-a-million mix of melodic hard rock and swaggering street corner mythology has been imitated by many and beloved by even more. Over the years, their albums have been reissued, radio sessions unearthed, and live sets dusted off for release. Rock Legends is something different, an almost mythical deep dive into the long-rumored-to-exist treasure trove of tape reels housing hours and hours of previously unheard music. Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham and band historian Nick Sharp curated three discs' worth of full-band demos, alternate takes, and unreleased songs that serve to present an alternative history of the band. A fair number of the demos were cut in studios, quite a few were taped by the band in their practice space, and the sound quality is equal to the well-known finished versions. Most of the songs are quite similar to the released versions, too; the fun is listening for the bits -- like a different guitar solo or a lyrical variation -- that give a glimpse into the band's songwriting process. To that end, two of their most famous songs are here in early form. "Jailbreak" features embryonic lyrics and a couple of jazzy chords that were excised; "The Boys Are Back in Town" sports an extended coda that pushes the song to almost six minutes. Of the unreleased songs, the tight-as-a-drum rocker "Black Mail" is the best, though the almost-punk "Hate" comes close.
Another selling point of the set is the disc of rarities from their early years. It's fun to hear their first single, the Band-influenced "The Farmer" and its rollicking B-side "I Need You," and side trips into some heavy blues, like a ripping run through "Goin' Down." The extended take on their breakthrough song "Whiskey in the Jar" is a good reminder of guitarist Eric Bell's inventive skills as a soloist, the rough mix of "Black Boys on the Corner" gives even more of an edge to one of their all-time toughest tracks, and the radio sessions where they romp through loose rockers like "Buffalo Gal" and "Things Ain't Working Out Down on the Farm" are a blast. The rest of the set features a disc of single mixes of their greatest hits, a raucous live show from 1980, a DVD comprising the Bad Reputation documentary, a 1976 TV appearance, replicas of their tour programs, and a book of song lyrics presented as a poetry anthology. It all adds up to a set that fulfills the wildest dreams of any Lizzy fanatic who might have begun to give up on ever hearing the lost demos. They are worth the wait and the music that surrounds them is equally worth attention, too. Hopefully, the archive of tapes will yield more treasure down the road, but until then this is a vital addition to the legend of one of the greatest rock bands to ever strap on guitars.

Since the death of the band's visionary leader Phil Lynott in the early '80s, the stature of Thin Lizzy has only grown larger over time.

Over the years, their albums have been reissued, radio sessions unearthed, and live sets dusted off for release. Rock Legends is something different, an almost mythical deep dive into the long-rumored-to-exist treasure trove of tape reels housing hours and hours of previously unheard music. Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham and band historian Nick Sharp curated three discs' worth of full-band demos, alternate takes, and unreleased songs that serve to present an alternative history of the band. A fair number of the demos were cut in studios, quite a few were taped by the band in their practice space, and the sound quality is equal to the well-known finished versions. Most of the songs are quite similar to the released versions, too; the fun is listening for the bits -- like a different guitar solo or a lyrical variation -- that give a glimpse into the band's songwriting process. To that end, two of their most famous songs are here in early form. "Jailbreak" features embryonic lyrics and a couple of jazzy chords that were excised; "The Boys Are Back in Town" sports an extended coda that pushes the song to almost six minutes. Of the unreleased songs, the tight-as-a-drum rocker "Black Mail" is the best, though the almost-punk "Hate" comes close.
