Yea, still quite young considering Brian robertson and Scott are still going after years of drug use.
I dont think Gary was into that whole lifestyle

Lawrence1895

R.I.P. Gary Moore, a true legend he was and always will be. My thoughts are with his friends and family

Kess73

That band in the after life has just gotten an excellent addition.

RIP Gary Moore.

The man was excellent, remember fondly listening to Out in The Fields as a kid, I was always into this kind of stuff while all my friends would listen to Eminem etc, big loss

This is the video for Out in the Fields, what an unbelievable song!

RIP Gary.

Had the pleasure of meeting him in Slatterys one night.I think he dropped to say hello to Brian Downey who was with Talk to Strangers at the time.He got on the stage and played for an hour with the lads after their gig was finished.There was no more than 30 people there that night and you could not get any closer.The building was shaking with the sound.This night is one of fondest memories.
Where ever he is he will still be rockin.

Cole

RIP

I saw this concert on tv a while ago, lots of great guitarists celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster. When Gary Moore came on, he just blew them all away. You can sense the admiration and respect the audience had for him. A great performance.

Just heard the new of his passing.I remember watching him with skid row in the CY in fairview and the assembly hall in Larkhill school.
Also saw him in the Castle in Tooting broadway with the row, 1971 i think.

He was just brilliant.The way he holds the note for just that extra second on Parisienne Walkways was sublime.They dont make guys like him anymore.Rock on Garry.

MetalDog

RIP Gary, was genuinely shocked to hear this. Great and influential player.

Tragic loss indeed, "Out in the Fields" was a song of my childhood.

At least him and Phil can have a chat about old times now.

In the 80's i was at self aid in the RDS.

Watched dozens and dozens of great bands all that day and then late in the evening Gary Moore came on stage with Thin Lizzy and of all the artists i have seen that day and for the past 30yrs he was on a different level to all th eother bands that day live. he was absolutely incredible that day.

RIP to one of the greatest guitarists ever and thanks for the music legend.

That guitar should be passed on to the next great guitarist like a torch. Maybe give it to Bonamassa, or perhaps one of the other guys from Lizzy could play it onstage when they gig?

Dunno what to say to this, bit shocked. Great guitarist probably never quite got the popular success his talent deserved. RIP.

Just heard this evening. By all accounts he wasn't ill or anything, asides from a minor cold or something...certainly can't believe it.
