Known for its stunning opening riff and mesmerising dual guitar harmonies by Scott Graham and Brian Robertson, ‘The Boys are Back in Town’ is Thin Lizzy’s most popular hit. With lyrics telling of laddish behaviour, the song perfectly captures the band’s ‘party hard and reap the rewards’ attitude to life. Interestingly, the song is now played at most Irish rugby matches as the team run onto the pitch.
