Thin Lizzy Hats
Description: The debate over the location of the Dino's Bar & Grill has rattled on for years. Phil Lynott always avoided giving it a location, saying the song was about guys anywhere in the world going out for a weekend pint and a fight. Years after Phil's death Scott Gorham said Dinos was named after Dean Martin's Sunset Strip joint of the same name. But Gorham was Californian so would most likely think in terms of LA; also Martin's place was certainly not somewhere that "blood would spill" and most importantly it wasn't written by Scott. We preferred Phil's vision, so went for Dublin so as to link the design back to the original Thin Lizzy inspiration.
Description: Thin Lizzy's Nightlife is an underrated gem of a record, while also a complete anomaly within their catalog. Subdued, soulful, and smooth in ways that Thin Lizzy never were before and rarely were afterwards. Of course, this hard rock band still included plenty of moments of the style of primal rock 'n' roll they were known for, though still managed to make it more enigmatic, sincere, and philosophically complex than their other material and certainly more so than their contemporaries at the time.
