All the band loved Hendrix. This was a cute interpretation for them. They loved smoking down in house in Clontarf. Nice house it was too. Gail had the Balcony room. Nice guitar work out.

I like the tune. It's fun!

Clontarf is next to Dublin Bay. So Phil got a rental in a posh part of Dublin and moved the band in. The neighbours hated them lol. The nice grass in front of the sea, they called the green sofa. They smoked weed and eventualy got kicked out of Clontarf. Hendrix was a hero for them. Rise and demise of the funky nomadic tribes and all the clontarf castle stuff in the first album....this is the sound of young guys in counter culture.

Thin Lizzy's first album doesn't get enough attention. The songs are not very commercial but the instrumental arrangements feature some awesome playing including some bass tracks from Phil that are quite different from his later bass playing.

I had a feeling this reaction would be entertaining, whichever way it went. As far as I know, Eric Bell is protestant, but I would be surprised if Phil didn't have a hand in writing the lyrics. It's at least in part written about Jimi Hendrix, who seemed like he came from another planet and stayed for only a short while. Three thousand miles is the approximate distance from New York to the British Isles. I know Ireland had a reputation for being somewhat backward at that time, but I think by 1970 even the Christian Brothers were probably aware that you couldn't travel to Mars by bus.

Why would you be "surprised" that Eric wrote this lyric himself? Too funny. Fun fact: Eric was raised in a protestant part of Belfast, but was actually born in England. He was brought to Belfast at one year old and adopted.

If not too much trouble, can we get an updated list of the songs remaining in the generator? I don't think anyone cares to see the remaining BSR, BM, or Dare songs, but if easier to include them on the list then so be it.

The 2 Thin Lizzy songs I mentioned in my last comment need to be added to the generator. To be clear on what I mean by missing.😏

This psychedelic and funky vibe from Thin Lizzy was missed after Eric left the band. Also, Eric's love of comic books and that influence was missed in later years. Some Hendrix influence here, but never trying to be something it's not.

Not to bring up Final Fantasy (but I will), in the early days of the franchise the game primarily based their mythology and monsters on DnD. From VII onward, after hiring a guy with a background in mythology, they focused on real world mythology as their inspiration rather than DnD, and I think the series is better for it. Fun fact, the guy in question, Kazushige Nojima (writer for FFVII and a bunch of other games), is a big Thin Lizzy fan. I talked with him about Lizzy on Twitter. His favorite record is Live and Dangerous. He's a big Robbo fan, he loves the Motorhead album he did but he's not hot on Wild Horses. Sorry he had nothing to do with FFVI.

Anyway, my point is that I appreciate Phil's mythology basis of writing more than using comic books as a writing influence. That said, they both have their place and Ray-Gun is a fun song.

@Michael-----

Eric has said that the lyrics to Ray-Gun were not comic book influenced. But the name he chose for the band indeed was. I don't think ones love for comic books makes them any less of a songwriter. Philip liked comic books too.
