Criticism
Egan was reported as being "a bit annoyed at the “internet trolls”" who gave him much criticism over the song. He was criticised in some quarters by people who claimed the song's lyrics were childish and who pointed out that it was a simple song with three chords. Egan describes "Phil Lynott" as “a totally honest song about the things that happened... ...one night. It’s just written the way it happened on the night, and I don’t see anything wrong with that.”
