one of the first guitar licks I ever learned was 'still got the blues'

he was not a healthy man so not that surprised he has died to be honest, nevertheless it's a bit shocking RIP gary

Just found out about this. I'm quite sad about it.

I've been learning one of Gary's songs recently too 'Out in The Fields'

Just saw this. A great guitar player, saw him a few times back in the 1980s. Strange but I was playing Parisienne Walkways again for the first time in years just on saturday, couldn't resist cranking up the Marshall and bending those Ernie Balls.

just found out about this when picking an amp up for a service, can barely believe it, 58 is no age to go.

That's very sad, he was a great guitarist.  He definitely did have the tone in his fingers...

This is really sad for me as he was my all-time favourite musician, and he always was a huge inspiration to me. The fact that he died in Spain makes me feel even more shocked about it.

Rest in peace, Gary. We won't forget you.  :(
Title: Re: It would seem Gary Moore is dead
Post by: Doadman on February 06, 2011, 10:44:10 PM
I agree entirely. He was my favourite guitarist, he had a tone to die for and was incredible live. The world is a much poorer place without his talent.

Still in love with you is one of my all time favourite songs.   I hope he was having fun when he went.  The music world has lost one of the masters.

One of my all time favourite players..has now gone Over the hills and far away.

Really shocked - had just been looking at the Out in the Fields tutorial in Guitar Techniques. One of the best Rock/Blues guitarist ever - very sad.    R.I.P.

Papers claiming that he choked on his own vomit after a bender...

Such a shame if that was indeed the case

Yes, Gary's original minimalistic and heart-rending version on 'Nightlife' was an oft overlooked  masterpiece. After seeing the recent 'Thin Lizzy' documentry on the BBC, it surprised me that it was he - and not 'Robbo' that fell first.
Gary's influence on generations of guitarists was incalculable.

Never was a fan but he was a great player. A sad loss indeed.

Great player, great gurning faces.

Will be sadly missed.

I just read about this maybe 5 minutes ago.....I'm utterly floored.  My first memory of Gary Moore was hearing a live version of White Knuckles at 15 years old.....I was shaking my head and wanting to put my guitar away forever because I'd "never be that good."  A piece of my childhood has gone home to rest.  R.I.P. Mr. Moore.......

damn...just saw this-one of my idols...know a lot of cats who have been listening to Bonamassa ...it has allowed me to turn them on to Mr. Moore...
-my earliest hometown influence turned me on to GM when I was a wee lad....blew me away, just like reading the news of his passing

Really good overview of his career I thought.
Interesting to see his jazz rock stuff. Some really difficult stuff played there.
