The band would make three more LPs before splitting up in 1983. Gary Moore had left the band by this point, so Snowy White takes his place on guitar.īlack Rose, which went silver in the U.K., followed Thin Lizzy’s double-platinum Live and Dangerous release.

Here you can watch the band play an abridged version of “Róisín Dubh,” culminating in a stunning Downey drum solo, at a 1981 German show. (Thin Lizzy ) Fighting je piaty túdiový album írskej hard rockovej skupiny Thin Lizzy.
In his memoir, Black Rose co-producer Tony Visconti wrote of the song: “Phil Lynott had outdone himself with writing a true Celtic rock opus.” ‘Róisín Dubh’ is the Irish for ‘black rose’ or ‘dark rose,’ which is a name they had for Ireland in the old days during the Troubles, and the poets, when they’d write about Ireland, they’d call it ‘my dark rose’ or ‘Róisín Dubh,’ and that was basically where the idea came from.” “He added a bit to it, and he had a few original Irish things that he came up with, and it ended up being the longest track on the album and the hardest for us to work out, so consequently we gave it the title track. “And Gary had a few jigs and reels that he knew, him being Irish as well,” Lynott continued. Black Rose lyrics: Tell me the legends of long ago When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the black rose Play me the melodies i want to know. Like, there’s a line ‘Georgie knows Best’ and ‘Oscar’s so Wilde’ and ‘It was the joy that Joyce brought to me.’ “I wrote the number about two years, and I tried to get as many legends and myths and good things about Ireland in it.
“It’s based on legends,” Lynott said of the song, the Gaelic title of which is pronounced “raw-sheen dove,” in a radio interview a few months after the album’s release. Six-stringers Scott Gorham - who will lead a latter-day Thin Lizzy through a full-album Black Rose performance in July at Wales’ Steelhouse Festival - and Gary Moore have a blast applying the band’s signature two-guitar harmonies to the jaunty traditional themes, as drummer Brian Downey somehow manages to make the song’s odd, skipping rhythm swing like crazy.
