gary moore was a monster player. strong hands, lots of vibrato,
you can't fukk with a guy like that. this sucks.
we're all just one sleep away from cashing it in. hope he
wasn;t in pain.

The day the music died. RIP

[Wayniac]

I'm still in shock and crushed. He was huge influence on my playing.
He played with such fire, aggression, and passion - he would strangle the s**t out of whatever he was playing (Strat or LP), and just commanded it - make it purr or scream for mercy.

RIP Gary - I hope you are up there tearing it up with Phil and Cozy...

Sorry to hear that, DonP. My condolences, for what they're worth.

On a related note, R.I.P. Gary. A great player, and an advocate of Bare Knuckle Pickups!

[Robert Burns]

I play "The Loner" at least once a week...im going to play it everyday now... Hopefully he wont be listening! :-(( RIP Gary... you helped me with emotion and phrasing..

the Shapes of Things solo was awesome. One of the best.

Gary had the heaviest attack I've ever heard, for that alone he influenced my playing a lot.

The first time I heard this song I had a new guitar hero. The super heavy 4 chords in the verses, the soft/hard dynamics throughout, and the singing/lyrical leads combined with insane speed runs. Just everything that makes a song great.

I love his corridors of power and victims of the future work. I played shapes of things in cover bands before. He was a great blues player but I never cared for his still got the blues work.

I'm going have to do an instrunental version of Empty Rooms (my fav Gary Moore song)

RIP Gary...
