Release date: 1983
Media type: CD

Thunder and Lightning is the twelfth and final studio album by heavy-rock band Thin Lizzy, released in 1983. Following the departure of Snowy White and the appointment of John Sykes, there was a longer delay between 1981's Renegade and this album, released in the UK in March 1983. Thunder and Lightning offered a heavier sound and guitar tone than previous albums, influenced by the guitar playing of John Sykes. However, the actual songwriting (Except for "Cold Sweat") was completed before he joined the band.
