Gary Moore: the guitarist as gunslinger

[vta]

Sad news...

A musician as prolific as he was diverse, it's no wonder Moore's passing this weekend at the age of 58 has touched so many fan.

Moore's sudden death this weekend at the age of 58 didn't just rob music of one of Thin Lizzy's best-known former members, but a giant of modern-day guitar playing whose work stretched far beyond rock and heavy metal to pop, jazz and even techno. Inspired to pick up a guitar by Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green, Moore will be remembered as a true modern bluesmen whose ability to make a guitar seemingly cry in pain touched many.

58 is way too young. Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak...

I'll never forget the first time I heard Gary Moore play. A friend of mine gave me a tape of one of his concerts and told me to check it out. I popped it in the VCR (yes, it was way back then) and the first thing I see is a stage with a band on it, a packed house, a wall of Marshall amps and a Les Paul sitting on a stand on the stage. The band starts to jam and this guy walks out on stage after about 20 seconds or so, picks up the guitar, and the first note he hit was so loud, big and in-your-face-screaming that it made me jump back in me seat! (I think it was "The Stumble")That was the first in many notes that I would hear Gary Moore play. He was a great guitarist and could play the blues like nobody's business. Gonna miss him.
