The incredible Billy Merziotis!!!!, the only person in this world who can play extremely similar to the greatest of all times, Gary Moore. My eternal respect for keeping Gary Moore alive.

Just when I thought I could corner the tribute market with my Gary skills I realised that the voice is important too.. this guy nails Gary's range and timbre perfectly. Drat! Ok bonamassa.. damn he can sing too! A self tribute it is then..

The closest to the legend. Amazing.

I totally agree!! The best Gary Moore cover band ever!!

I think they are actually Gary Moore's band.

Absolutely amazing, the world is a better place when guitarists like Billy Merziotis live among us. He makes a Les Paul singing and breathing, it is such a beautiful playing that I won't compare it to Gary Moore's every person is absolutely unique.

As close as it gets to Gary Moore...

I'm 64 and been a pro-musician since I was a teenager. I just wanted to say you guys did an AMAZING job!! :-)

BILLY, Great solo what a player !!!! you are the Greek Gary Moore👍

Billy, you have fantastic feeling in your playing. Gary would be really chuffed that you are carrying on his legacy, you absolutely rock!

This is an outstanding performance Billy.I first saw Gary Moore live 14th February 1984 Glasgow Apollo when I was 17 years old.To have been in that audience for the recording of We Want Moore is a memory that will stay with me forever.

You bring Gary in your soul.I can listen this band all my life.

The works of Gary are immortal.

Outstanding.

That's right! Gary Moore did some shredding too, but the superb feeling is what distinguished him from other flash guitar players.

Amazing song, amazing band and an amazing musician! Thank you very much for your talent!

Simply incredible cover, absolutely nailed it. Gary's legacy lives on in Billy

Stumbled upon this cover , the man would have been proud ,emotion and feeling not many folk even attempt to put as much as themselves into someone else's song.

Note for note solo from the '87 Stockholm concert video! Good job!

Perfection! I cannot believe how clean your sound is. I really appreciate you posting this video.

For real Billy, you sir have to do a Europe tour. I know there are a lot of people crazy about Blues here in Slovenia sou you'd would be more than welcome ! Awesome playing, keep it up!

Unbelievable. Thank you so much for this rendition to Mr. Gary Moore. You and your band are amazing!

Next to Moore! Excellent execution. 10/10! Period.

Looking forward to seeing you play again Billy. This version from 1987 Stockholm concert my fave and you play it brilliantly. Thanks for keeping this music alive x

Just phenomenal Billy, you’re absolutely channeling the late great Gary Moore here. One of the best guitar solos ever written and you nailed it 👍🏼

In my opinion the best version of Empty Rooms that Gary ever did. You covered it perfectly well done.
