    Gary Moore RIP

    An underrated guitarist: impeccable vibrato, great taste, awesome technique, a few cracking solos in his time, not to mention some of the mosr melodic guitar licks in the history of rock...

    Apart from that, average!! Not to mention his work in Thin Lizzy.

    Anyway, for reasons not yet published, he dies this weekend in his hotel room.

    RIP. His music lives on...

    I heard he once had a fight with J J Burnell (Stranglers), while on tour with Thin Lizzy in Brazil, was knocked out and replaced by Midge Ure.

    I know some of it is true. Midge Ure did replace Gary Moore.

    I was never a big fan of Gary Moore. He's playing always seemed overblown. Technically brilliant, but blunt and attention-grabbing (my feeling about his music, this isn't a character assassination). He sounded like he wanted to be Peter Green but, of course, he wasn't.

    I know he wrote it but I do like his/Fleetwood Mac's version of Black Magic Woman. There is always the enjoyment of the look on people's faces when they find out it wasn't written by Santana.

    Off thread slightly.
