Always liked Thin Lizzy and I like a lot of Gary Moore's solo stuff too.

    Saw him live in Germany in the 80's, during a Monsters of Rock concert. He rocked.

    Oops, double post. I thought I looked but it appears George D. beat me to it.

    A great guitarist for sure.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    From the offical website of Brian May (Queen)....
    Surely not ...

    This seems completely unreal. I'm shocked to hear tonight that Gary Moore has died.

    What a wonderful player he was. It does not seem possible this is in the past. Well, his recordings will testify forever. But ... live ... he was a demon.

    I know, because we toured with Thin Lizzy all around the States, many years ago. Gary was awesome every night ... and the nicest guy you could imagine.

    I have many memories - of visiting him in the studio, meeting him backstage, being staggered by his virtuosity in his solo gigs.

    Well, lost for words. Bless ya Gary, wherever you're bound. To Rock Heaven, I hope. 58? You were just a boy. Unbelievable. This is too sad.

    RIP Gary Moore.

    Brian
