I wasn't a huge fan, but this really saddens me. Maybe it was because I only got 15mins sleep. But still.

Ah man. This is swak :'(

One of my biggest influences when I was growing up and learning to play. The guy had killer tone and amazing chops and feel.

And another star is dimmed.

However, as Warren Zevon reminded us, "Life will kill you". Whoever it is whose work you cherish, support them now, pay attention now. You might even want to bear live witness to the greatness if time and opportunity allow.

A lot of musicians live precarious existences. They don't have the safety nets that 9-5ers like me have. No medical aid, no retirement plans, they often find out they owe record companies lots of money. The Better 5/8 likes to watch the various biographies on DSTV. and it's amazing how many artists have a financial situation other than what you'd expect given their album sales or their movie takings.

Support them now! Let them feel the love and the recognition and the validation of what they do, and the income, now.

I always find the post-mortem career boost bothersome and sometimes distasteful, but that can also help to reduce the burden on the family, even if only by reducing the debt that the estate would have to service.

Interesting how many of the articles refer to him as the former Thin Lizzy guitarist...
58...
27 x 2 = nope. Just checking.
I'll put down a guiness or two in his honour.

He was a great player in my mind, loved his music. Crazy that he's dead. RIP Gary!

He was one of the greatest guitarists of our era. Big loss.

Here he is bringing his Les Paul to orgasm on "Parisienne Walkways"

This is actually irritating me quite a bit, it's like they're forgetting the incredible musician who wrote Empty Fields, Still Got The Blues and Parrisiene Walkways. I far prefered listening to him than listening to him on Thin Lizzy.

For The Memories:

He'll be jamming it up there with Jimi now I guess... :'(

R.I.P. Gary.

He is the other man that made me play guitar.

Here's a recent vid of him playing some slow blues in a pub for charity:

RIP Mr. Moore ☹
You made me a better guitar player and you made a big influence on most people including me. Thank you for leaving a legacy and your music for everyone behind. Even though i am only 14 you made me appreciate good music and not this rap, hip hop, dance etc. Thats all rubbish so i thank you once again for leaving your music for me and many other people.

RIP GARY MOORE ☹

Same dude.

And also I preferred him with his solo career?

Hammeron

Always loved him cos he was Irish and an insane muso to boot.
His stint whith Cozy Powell was magic.
R.I.P. Big Man.

Very sad news and now I kick myself for not making the most of previous opportunities to see him live! I now never will.

Just returned from a Ray Lamontagne gig in London and bought a guitar magazine to read on the train back. Had a big article on Gary Moore and his tone, ended off saying that he has been around for like 4 decades and still has a lot more to offer! Magazine dated Feb 11....
