"Cold Sweat" is a song by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, and is the fifth track on their final studio album ''Thunder and Lightning''. It was co-written by guitarist John Sykes and Phil Lynott, and became the biggest single from the album, entering the UK charts at No. 27, and peaking at No. 23 in Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irish Charts - Thin Lizzy )〕 The song is known for Sykes's guitar solo, which features a tapping playing style that was somewhat new at the time of the album's release, though also used at the time by players such as Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads. ==Recording and promotion== "Cold Sweat" was recorded as one of the last songs on the ''Thunder and Lightning'' album. Thin Lizzy had already written all the other material that was required, and by the time Sykes joined the band, it only remained to record the songs. He recalled, "Because I hadn't contributed anything at this stage I just let go with an outline of what was to become "Cold Sweat"; all of that was made up there and then in the studio."〔Alan Byrne, "Thin Lizzy: Soldiers of Fortune", Firefly, 2004, pp. 158.〕 Producer Chris Tsangarides was surprised that the song was chosen as a single: "It was a bit heavy, even for them."〔 Thin Lizzy were asked to perform the song on the British TV show ''Top of the Pops'', but were deselected after Lynott argued with a stage manager.〔 On 28 January 1983, the band performed the song on the British TV music show ''The Tube'', along with "The Sun Goes Down" and "The Boys Are Back in Town".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thin Lizzy on TV and radio 1980–84 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cold Sweat (Thin Lizzy song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
