The Life & Tragic Death of GARY MOORE 

Gary is still influencing young Guitar players all over the World. His music will live on through many generations. I listen to him everyday. Thank you Gary Moore for everything and RIP!!!

Knew Gary well, lived 5 minutes from him in Belfast. Great guy and fabulous singer, guitarist 🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘Still sadly missed 🙏🙏♥️♥️

Gary will always be one of my 5 best guitarists of all time.

Gary Moore, still sorely missed as one of the finest guitarisat to ever walk Plant Earth. God Bless you Gary and THANKYOU :)

Gary was a musician in a whole league of his own. He could play almost any style and he did it flawlessly. Great talent gone too soon. R.I.P Gary Moore.

Empty Rooms was a brilliant song

Gary Moore ❤ one of the greatest guitarist of our time ❤ 🔥 🔥 🔥

There can never be another guy who could do it all with style and feel

I never knew him but a friend was often his sound engineer on later projects. I am told the remarkable thing about him was that he never hit a wrong note. Just didn't happen. Or a badly timed one for that matter. Then back in February 2011 I was on the waiting list for a new amplifier, a then fairly new and highly sought after Tweed knock off called a Jazzy J 20 (fabulous amps btw). Jesse who builds them had me on what was then a three month wait list but my delivery date got set back twice, firstly because "Francis could you wait another week, Jeff Beck wants one next week for a new project". OK, for Jeff Beck... Then it was "Francis could you wait another week because Mark Knopfler wants one next week for a new project" (Jesse builds about one a week). OK, for Mark Knopfler already... Then the sadness a week later. "Francis your amp is ready. You have number 75. I was building it for Gary Moore and he passed away yesterday". So I have the amplifier he never played that he was going to use to record that album of Celtic Rock. I know I can never do it justice but I find it an inspiration all the same.

I saw Gary Moore one time and it was like watching 👽 an Alien he had the crowd in a complete trance amazing skill..He was never lost in a note he took the music where nobody else could take it, into another dimension❣️ ✨🎸RIP ICONIC LEGEND🎸✨ ONE OF ONE ♠️🎸♠️ Mr. GARY MOORE

Gary Moore was such an incredible talent…

He was the BEST ❤ I feel the emotion and perfection in his playing.

I got in to Moore because I love Thin Lizzy. Glad I did

For me hé is a real hero, sure one of the best guitarists ever

George Harrison once said that Gary may have been the best guitarist he's ever seen. And we all know who Harrisons best friend was/ is E.C. Harrison said he was working on a song that required technical speed. "So, I went around the corner from my house to Garys and asked him will you play on this" ? And he did.

He had a melodic intensity still unrivalled in my view although he was happiest in the blues and had a complete mastery of it by the end. Was in a class of his own regards the bases he could cover.

Have many of Gary's albums and DVD's! Love his music and definitely love his guitar style and playing. RIP Gary,Phil and Philomena ✌️❤️🙏

One of the Greatest Electric Guitar Players all time¡ And Vocalist

The best guitarist I have ever heard and seen, so fluent. I was so sad hearing of his passing I loved going to his concerts. Quinny

Loads of great players for sure, but only one Gary Moore...

Gary was the goat

Gary was a legend i with He was still here R I P GARY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Brilliant no nonsense guitarist.

The one and only! Rip Gary and Keep on rocking in heaven

Probably one of the greatest guitarist ever

Gary Moore one of the finest guitarists to ever be born he had a rock and roll heart and a blues soul thanks for all the great music Gary gone but never will be forgotten RIP

No question he was one of the greatest of all time. I often hear riffs (or passages) in a tune and just have to master them, even if that's all I work on in the tune. Toward the end of Still Got the Blues, he hits a phrase that I have loved since I heard it the first time. I will often just play that alone for 30 minutes or more just because it's so freaking beautiful.

Legend.R.I.P. Gary.🎸👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Visited Gary a few years back in Rottingdean..man he was one of the finest guitarists out there..RIP

My personal favorite and the reason why I am still shredding at aged 60 ! R.I.P, my dear sweet man & genius ♥️!

Best guitar player ever!!! RIP Man. Thanks for the music

He played an amazing rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s “Redhouse”. One, even Hendrix would have loved, for sure!

Gary’s musician gift was heaven sent and a blessing to all who heard him. RIP

R.I.P Gary, You're still the Best...🙏💯💔

I didn't know him. But the first time I heard him I wondered how someone so incredible had escaped me. His blues 💙

Needs to be recognised as a guitar master.

When I heard "End of the World" the first time I was completely blown away. Gary Moore was a phenomenal musician- I was good with a guitar, very good. He was a prodigy. RIP, Gary- the world is a sadder place with you gone, but with the way things are going you are in a better place.....

Along with Stevie Ray, the best blues music you can listen to.

Saw him three times, i never saw such a powerful Player like him. Very sad, he is a legend.

One of the best blues players ever.

Love the song Victims of the Future, R.I.P Gary

Gary will always be one of my favorite musicians, love listening still. Darkness in Paradise is an overlooked fantastic album. Gary was a Genius , Rest in Peace 🙏

I've still got the blues when I listen to his music and remember the day that he passed away. As a guitarist, Gary Moore is one of my all-time favourites and a major influence, it hit me hard and took me some time to listen to him again without feeling sad. Funny how emotions and music reach you even when you don't personally know them. I wish I had seen him in concert or got to jam with him. The KING is gone but not forgotten!

Still my guitar hero. I have bought an amp from his estate and play it multiple times every week.

Saw him with Greg Lake at the Masonic Temple in Toronto. Lake dressed in natty attire, Gary in black with studs looking like he just came from a brawl that didn't go well. Fantastic!

A well researched and accurate tribute to Gary Moore's musical history, Gary has always been my guitar hero, thankfully I was lucky to see him live but never had the opportunity of meeting him, but living in Weston super mare I've spoken many times with his brother Cliff ( also a awesome guitarist) and Gary's sister. Gary Moore is so underrated he was never afraid to change musical styles and always followed his heart and not record sales. Sadly missed, his music will live forever RIP Gary ❤x

He kicked ass opening for Rush in my hometown The Tacoma dome. In 84

First saw Gary play at a charity gig in Oxford (1990). He & Bernie Marsden had duel on stage…no competition…Gary blew him off the stage…you could see the smile on Bernie’s face.

One of the best of all time r..i.p. G

I was lucky enough to see Gary with Lizzy, Scars, BB King and in Dublin a gig for Philo , and as a solo Blues artist , he blew me away every time, He is one of the Greatest guitarist.

Great work with Thin Lizzy

His contribution to Dr Strangely Strange's Heavy Petting LP is wonderful. Sign On My Mind is a track that contains the best ever penny whistle solo and sublime guitar solo from Gary. Thank you.

The death of Phil L affected GM and his music terribly.

My buddy in 82 handed my Corridors of Power and i have been a fan ever since. Its his best hard rock album IMO. Run for Cover is great too. The sad ass truth is, if Gary was a pretty boy like all the big rock/hair metal bands of the 80s he would have been a mega star selling millions upon millions of albums.

fantastic musician and blazing guitarplayer

One of my favorites.

Yeah, death is very sad, but when you've lived a rock star life for 45 years, been involved in several classic blues and rock recordings, loved and been loved, and died in your sleep, it's not really Tragic is it?

Nice tribute to Gary. He had no peers. You left out the album " Scars". A favorite of mine because it is such a departure. So raw and angry. But your video was very informative. Thank you.

Very informative: I've only discovered Gary recently... never realised that he was tutored by Rory! 🤘❤🎸

Another great figure of his time RIP Gary Moore ❤

Rest easy Gary Moore✌️

R.I.P. ☮️

What a legend guitarist

There's a small chance that I'm related to Gary. How cool is that?!!!

Listen to the Messiah will return , best playing from the soul 🎼🙏

A grand fellah!

He sure could make a guitar talk.

To my mind he was the most "melodic" and thus romantic player. Even in his hardest solos you could find real music,not just a technique, what a pity he's gone😢

Rip Phil And Gary

My great uncle was an alcoholic. The doc told him his heart would explode. Well he quit for awhile. Until he got with his drinking buddies. He was at his wifes work. By himself. His heart exploded. That was it. His wife found him. When she came back. Way back in 1982. I was 2yrs old then its a tragedy

Great video, thanks for sharing

I babysat his son Jack when he lived in Shiplake a couple of times. Jack had really long hair for a 5 year old. So cute.

this guy was one of the top 10 best guitarists in the world in my opinion. fantastic. player

Para mi el mejor guitarrista el tocó diferentes estilos el mejor por siempre descanse en paz

Saw him at the Shepherds Bush Empire in 1999 (or so), unbelievably awesome.

The King is dead - Long live the King ❤

One of my top 5 of all time

So sad Rip rock star !✌🏻

Legand RIP 🙏 ✌️🤘🇦🇺

Love Gary! He could make a guitar speak to you!

I happen to be from Ballsbridge. By any chance do you know the address of the bedsit they shared ? I never knew this. Around when was this ? This is a fascinating piece of information for me to find out at this stage of my life. I spent my teenage years listening to Thin Lizzy.

My favorite guitarist of all time. Oh how I miss him. So mad he killed himself with liquor. What a loss.

Rest in pieces.

walking in Paris with a certain song playing...

Je l ai vu en concert dans les années 80.super. repose en paix.

That last Group lynott & Moore were working on was going to be "Huge!"🎸 It's a shame Phil passed away 6 months after their Debut!

Baddest of the badd for sure.

4:52 that's ironic because I often thought Gary and John Sykes would've made an incredible songwriting team.

Saw him live a few times. He was just a few months younger than myself.

Nice summary. Misses the contribution to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Theme & Variations

Big lost! Rip gary moore...

You gotta know when to stick the cork back in the bottle

Got see him as a opening act alone with Krokurs He played in support of Cordoors of power Def Leppard was ot in support of Promana they left my earsv ringing all 3 bands played great.O e of the best shows i have ever ben to

Lye-not? It's Linnit, innit? And for the record, in Ireland it's "Tin Lizzy" (it is a play on words)

The sad part for me, was that like Clapton, he went back to Blues, and never really eclipsed "Still got the Blues" in any other genre. For me, Claptons work during the eighties was, like Moores more interesting than anything since. But then again, I liked to keep moving with each creative musical force that continued to blossom through the decades. And although those forces kind of fizzled out during the 2000s, there is still a wealth of music to enjoy from the past, and unfortunately for me, I do not include Blues within that spectrum. Maybe because I was forced fed it by my older brothers during the sixties. RIP Gary. You were a joy to watch whatever you played. And no. That Les Paul will remain in the States. Too much controversy there!! 🤔

Sure most Gary Moore fans will have bought and read the recent book you have just regurgitated all this info and pics shown. Opening statement of being an Irish guitarist, is contracted by next bit about him being born in Belfast Northern Ireland.

I worked in an insurance company that was asked to give Phil Linnott life insurance (for a tour I guess). You could hear the laughter from the underwriting department all around the building. Apparently every organ in his body was destroyed. He died fairly shortly thereafter. I loved Thin Lizzy but drug/alcohol abuse is pretty stupid.

It's pronounced LINE-ott. Phil's mother herself has said this on numerous occasions.

Man...:(

Gary was up there with Eddie van Halen 🎸 both probably the best in the world !!!
