Vagabonds Kings Warriors Angels is a 2001 4-disc set by Irishrock group Thin Lizzy, which also contains a book chronicling the life of the band and music in some detail, with rare photos and a discography. The set was packaged in a longbox format with the booklet fixed inside like a book.
As well as including all of Thin Lizzy's best known songs and successful hits, this set features a number of rarer tracks, such as the band's first single, "The Farmer", the 1973 b-side "Cruising in the Lizzymobile", and the 1978 live b-side "Me and the Boys", none of which had been released on CD before. "Try a Little Harder" was a previously unreleased outtake from the Fighting recording sessions, and "Song for Jimi" had only been available on a flexi disc given away with a magazine. Other non-album b-sides were also included, such as "Half Caste", "Just the Two of Us" and "Don't Play Around". All of these tracks except "Me and the Boys" and "Song for Jimi" were later re-released on expanded versions of the studio albums, as part of a remastering of the whole Thin Lizzy catalogue.
Thin Lizzy are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1969. Two of the founding members, drummer Brian Downey and bass guitarist and vocalist Phil Lynott, met while still in school. Lynott assumed the role of frontman and led them throughout their recording career of twelve studio albums. Thin Lizzy's most successful songs, "Whiskey in the Jar", "Jailbreak" and "The Boys Are Back in Town", were all major international hits which are still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations. After Lynott's death in 1986, various incarnations of the band have emerged over the years based initially around guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes, though Sykes left the band in 2009. Gorham later continued with a new line-up including Downey.
Lynott, Thin Lizzy's de facto leader, was composer or co-composer of almost all of the band's songs, and the first black Irishman to achieve commercial success in the field of rock music. Thin Lizzy boasted some of the most critically acclaimed guitarists throughout their history, with Downey and Lynott as the rhythm section, on the drums and bass guitar. As well as being multiracial, the band drew their members not only from both sides of the Irish border but also from both the Catholic and Protestant communities during The Troubles. Their music reflects a wide range of influences, including blues, soul music, psychedelic rock, and traditional Irish folk music, but is generally classified as hard rock or sometimes heavy metal. Rolling Stone magazine describes the band as distinctly hard rock, "far apart from the braying mid-70s metal pack".

I am a warrior I serve the death machine Losers or conquerors All flash past on my silver screen Death is no easy answer For those who wish to know Just ask those who have been before you What fate the future holds? It ain't pretty I am a messenger The message here you must know I am the warrior I deliver the fatal blow So fate will have to wait Till time heals the scar See my heart is ruled by Venus
