Eric Bell first suggested tin lizzy in reference to a character in The dandy ( according to The bio Thin lizzy by Alan Byrne ...Saf Publishing soft back Pg 30 2nd pgh) After Gullivers travel was rejected they came back to Tin Lizzy And changed it to Thin Lizzy to play off the Irish usage of t'in instead of Thin ..Eric believed they would say we are going to see tin Lizzy tonight and they would say no its Thin Lizzy and a little controversy would help with publicity ..everyone thought it was agood idea and the name stuck...

However Phil States its about Erics love of Eric clapton and A Blies Breaker Alblum with a picture of Eric Clapton , he is reading a comic book . The comic was a woman robot named tin lizzey the droped the e and added the h in thin... either way it is a Eric Bell contribution.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
