I don't even like Rock that much but I love Thin Lizzy.

A black irishman (Half Brazilian/ Half Irish) with an afro and the best tache I have ever seen. Coolness personified. Not to mention his singing voice!
 
Cowboy Song = GOAT.

Agreed great band.

BBC News - Rock guitarist Gary Moore dies


Holy shit, Gary Moore is dead. :( That's crazy stuff, got loads of his solo stuff on my hard drive. Still got the blues, The loner, Messiah will come again, PW, all awesome stuff.

Don't agree that he's under rated though as he's well respected the world over from guitar fans or professional musicians themselves like BB king, Zakk Wylde etc. Its not like he's an underground guitarist like Buckethead.

BBC News - Rock guitar star Gary Moore dies aged 58

The renowned rock guitarist Gary Moore has died in a hotel room while on holiday in Spain.

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

Thin Lizzy manager Adam Parsons told the BBC he was found early on Sunday.

Moore was originally drafted into Thin Lizzy by its late frontman 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.

Lynott died in 1986 but a new line-up of Thin Lizzy continues to tour.

Bell told the BBC on Sunday he was still "in shock" at Moore's death while on holiday in the Costa del Sol.

"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."

Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy said it been a pleasure to share a stage with Moore.

"Playing with Gary during the Black Rose era was a great experience, he was a great player and a great guy," he said.

"I will miss him."

Niall Stokes, the editor of the Irish music magazine, Hot Press, described Moore as a "genius".

A message on Moore's official website says: "It is with deep sorrow and regret, that we have to announce that Gary Moore passed away while on holiday in Spain last night."

The lead guitarist received critical acclaim for his work on the 1974 Thin Lizzy album, Nightlife, but would never be constrained by the music group format.

A year earlier, he had released his first solo album Grinding Stone and his virtuoso playing was to make him a recognised artist in his own right.

Although returning to Thin Lizzy briefly in the late 1970s, his solo work continued to garner interest and he also enjoyed UK chart success with Lynott, via singles Parisienne Walkways and Out In The Fields.

Throughout his career, Moore was to embrace a range of genres including blues, metal and hard rock.

He performed on stage with a range of major artists and released 20 studio albums.


:(

RIP
 
He's getting buried out in the fields. I hope he goes to heaven, but if he doesn't it'll be a cold day in hell.

RIP Gary Moore
 

Love these 2 xx

Thank you, never saw that video before. I actually got to see BB King live last year, seeing him and Gary Moore together would have been absolutely amazing. That video gives me the chills!

Lucille sounds so thin compared to Gary's Les Paul in that clip!
 
RIP Gary Moore. Big fan of him and Thin Lizzy. I think he was at his best with Parisienne Walkways.

The pair had earlier eaten a burger and a sandwich, washed down with champagne and brandy.
