anyone who brings politics into heavy metal ain't much of a songwriter. Adam from Clinton Township, MiOH, btw Wurm.With "Whiskey in the Jar," "Boys are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak," the original Thin Lizzy band has stood the test of time. Drugs took their toll on this talented vocalist and bass guitarist, whose contributions to classic rock can't be overstated. Henry from New Smyrna Beach, FlPhil Lynott, (along with co-founder and drummer Brian Downey) was the heart and soul of Thin Lizzy and his tragic passing is a reminder of the pressures of keeping up with fame and producing hit records.Virginie from In My Room Thin Lizzy version is much better.but Thin Lizzy's version was so, so, hard to listen too, it was unadulterated swill :( Skinnypen from Skinnypen's HouseVirginie, your wrong.That's the beauty of a song that's hundreds of years old. BTW, there are tons of versions of the lyrics, and so many ways to spin them. I LOVE the Pogues, but their version seems to lack the energy of these two. John from Los AngelesBoth the Metallica and Thin Lizzy versions are so strong, I think we can love them both.Thin Lizzy’s version will always be the best, Metallica is a close second, I love music of many genres, just enjoy it Paulette Woods from Austria I’m replying to skinnypen, “Thin Lizzy’s version was hard to listen to, unadulterated swill “ oh dear I’m still smiling as you obviously know your music ( yeah right ).Metallica's cover is what ii is, heavy metal. Deborah from Forest Town SaThinLizzy whiskey in the jar, so melodic thats why i love it.
