Paid Members Snake Plissken Posted February 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'm on my iPad so I can't post the whole story, but Guitarist Gary Moore has died in his sleep in Spain aged just 58. Quality guitarist. Shocker. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted February 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 Over to you Pat!  bollocks, this is a death worth reporting.  Moore was a stunning guitarist (got to see him live 2 years ago), great in his solo work and of course as an axeman several time in Thin Lizzy  RIP Gary Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 6, 2011 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 6, 2011 That's terrible news, Gary Moore was one of my favourite guitarists. Â From his work with Thin Lizzy to solo albums like Still Got The Blues and Power of the Blues, you could always tell it was him playing. Incredible solos (he could hold and sustain a note like nobody else) and an excellent voice too. Â Saw him live in '07, a great show. Good at putting down hecklers as well. Â I'm off to listen to 'Parisienne Walkways'. RIP Gary Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 6, 2011 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'll add to those links: Â Â His version of 'I Can't Quit You Baby' is phenomenal as well, but it's not on Youtube, which is madness.

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well, this has put a right fucker on an otherwise great weekend. My mp3 player chucked Over The Hills on while I was on the coach yesterday, and I was thinking of how apart from his speed, he was probably one of the best wammy bar guys before the American "shredders" came along. Â Next to Stuart Adamson, I've probably mercilessly ripped off Gary Moore's lead licks more than anyone elses. Â He could also sing some bastard high notes. Out In The Fields is ridiculously high before the key change at the end. Â What makes it all the worse is that he was still active and still able to play brilliantly.

Paid Members martyngnr Posted February 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 Gary Moore - Red House  This from the Strat-Pack dvd absolutely blew me away when i first saw it. Amazing.  R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman89762000 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I know its a cover but he does a immense version of jumping at shadows: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 Back in the 80s, when he would get some criticism for his waek songwriting, he did a number of decent covers. From memory....  Shape Of Things Friday On My Mind Misunderstood  I'm sure there's another really obvious one that'd slipping my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve rayson Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 In my mind he was a legendary guitarist, he had a great touch and also a great voice (really sounded like Dave Hill of Demon). Just like there's a Lynott statue I want to see a Gary Moore statue in Belfast. Â Some great tracks by Gary that I really adored: Speak for Yourself - Thunder Rising - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDLg2UIg-TY Run for Cover - Victims of the Future - After the War - Over the Hills and Far Away - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
