One of the greatest blues/rock guitarists of the last 30 years died in Spain last night at the age of 58. I was just wondering, is anyone else on these forums familiar with the work of Gary Moore? Here he is doing one of my favourite songs live:

Amazing stuff.

You'll be missed, Gary.

Sad indeed. The man was truly a blues genius.

Some things I didn't know about him until today: He played for Thin Lizzie, collaborated with B.B. King, The Traveling Wilburys, and he grew up in Belfast during the 60's.

I loved Over the Hills.

Well, Mr. Moore... You're over em

Eh, he played http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0nKJFVVoYM&feature=related - didn't know that, love the tune. Beat that !

They should take the souls of twenty American Idols contestants each year to keep guys like that alive. :mellow: I'd call that a fair bargain.

Damn shame. That man was one hell of a musician.

That svcks...he was always my go-to on the ipod whenever I needed a blues fix. Was a great musician.

just heard it. oh my god, how to tell my mom after the death of ronnie james dio last year...?

*cries*

he was one of the ever best.
