But then there’s Mexican Blood, and this is just the worst. It’s a dull number about lost and dead lovers that Phil has done better a thousand times before. Especially with that clunky as hell chorus. “That little Mexican girl, That little Mexican girl, That little Mexican girl” What type of girl was she Phil? “That little Mexican girl” Are you sure she wasn’t Phillipino? “That little Mexican girl” Brazilian? “That little Mexican girl” Argentinan? “That little Mexican girl” Portuguese? To say nothing of the insult to our intelligence of telling us what kind of blood she had. Mexican Blood is by far the worst Thin Lizzy song and probably the point where most metal/rock fans decided they had burnt out.

If Thunder & Lightning was Painkiller, Renegade is Ram It Down; an underrated and admittedly rough-edged piece of work, but still a very well crafted piece of work. Like Chinatown, in a buyer’s guide I’d probably file this under “fans only” (even though its better than Bad Reputation in my opinion), but there are songs here no Thin Lizzy fan, nay, no metal fan should go without.
