"Empty Rooms" has one of the best bass solos ever IMO. He will be missed.

It is always sad when a great talent dies before their time

I always loved this video not only because the music is great, that is a given, but the way Gary Moore interacts with BB. BB really seems to be enjoying himself. Gary puts BB out front, while still playing a mean guitar!

Thanks for sharing this....a fitting parting tribute to a great guitarist and an electric blues guy with loads of finesse.

Rest in peace, Gary....Six Strings down....another blues singer is gone.

I'm really saddened by that death, my band covered two of his songs... Guess now they're tributes...

RIP Gary

What a great guitarist....and as a big Thin Lizzy fan, I loved Gary Moore's playing. His solo work was equally amazing.

 

[Dr. Cheese]

Sad news and he was pretty young too!

 

[BrickBatMansion]

didnt he do a smokin' version of "shapes of things"?

 

[klaatu]

Sad news. I never heard his version os Shapes Of Things but I'm sure it was smokin'! I liked his live performance of Still Got The Blues. He played with passion!

 

[SlingBass4]

A great contributor to Rock & Blues......he WILL be missed

We're losing the icons, slowly... but surely.

4 pages for Gary Moore, but only 3 posts in the Milton Babbitt thread?!?!?!

didnt he do a smokin' version of "shapes of things"?

Yes, it was on 'Victims Of The Future'... also has a live version on one of the early 80's live records where he stretched out quite a bit, very Beck-ish... was looking forward to the 'return-to-Celtic-rock album he was supposed to be releasing this year...

I seen this this morning sad news we cover Still got the blues one of my favorite songs to perform. RIP Gary.

Don't know if someone posted this video. Awesome performance from one of the best.

 

[Oopsdabassist]

Heard the news on the way to a gig last night, absolutely banjaxed. we played 'midnight Blues' as a tribute, seemed to go down ok. RIP GM, you will be sorely missed

Death in Hotel room is typically either heart attack, strange sex games or overdose.

Do you have any facts to back up this assertion?

David carradine and the whos' old bassist.
All I can think of at the moment...

 

[Rimshot]

Far from 'typical' statistics, wouldn't you agree?

R.I.P. Gary Moore, Indeed a great body of work to be remembered by, and with one of the greatest guitar bands in Thin Lizzy some of their best work. With Phil Lynott some great collaborations, and his wok in the blues for the last two decades has paved the future for some of the artists coming into their own now.
I know here in the UK, on any given weekend, in a pub there will be a band that has a song he has played on in their set list....and that say volumes for his popularity as a musician.

I first learned of Gary with Thin Lizzy and was floored by his playing, a true guitar God. RIP Gary...thanks for the music you gave us.

 

[bassbully]

A classic live video from one of the best rock bands of all time and one of the best guitarists RIP Gary.

My favorite Gary Moore performance is . I grew up on Thin Lizzy and loved his playing. The Black Rose album was very influential on my developing musical mind. Damn.
