RIP Gary Moore

Post by storrmin571 »

Just picked this up off BBC news. Sad, a talented player. :(

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-12377862

Mr Moore, 58, was, originally from Belfast, and was a former member of the legendary Irish group Thin Lizzy.

Adam Parsons, who manages Thin Lizzy, told the BBC that Mr Moore had died in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Mr Moore was originally drafted into Thin Lizzy by its singer Phil Lynott. He later gained acclaim for his solo work and was a former member of the Irish group Skid Row.

The Northern Ireland guitarist was only 16 when he moved from Belfast to Dublin in 1969, to join Skid Row, which featured Lynott as lead vocalist.

He was later brought into Thin Lizzy by Lynott to replace the departing Eric Bell, another guitarist from Northern Ireland.

Mr Bell told the BBC on Sunday he was still "in shock" at Mr Moore's death.

"I still can't believe it," he said.

"He was so robust, he wasn't a rock casualty, he was a healthy guy.

"He was a superb player and a dedicated musician."

RIP.

A very talented guitarist/songwriter and an adopted Dub. 8)

I met him briefly back in the 90's in a recording studio where my nothing band were doing demos and he was demoing up/rehearsing for his new album. Very down to earth and friendly guy, took the time to chat to a crowd of starstruck nobodies (my band).

Very unlike Philo who I met in a nightclub at the peak of his Colombian Marching Powder addiction and who acted like a total arsehole, all ego and arrogance... :(

RIP Gary Moore. A sad loss. :(

RIP.

Over The Hills And Far Away is one of my favourite tunes ever. Reminds me of being a kid and being in my Dad's car which was always covered in sawdust and tools.

Sad loss for music.
