Almost 20 years ago, my guitar teacher introduced me to Gary Moore and told me to listen to Blues Alive. Immediately this first song blew me away. I owe a lot of my bending skills and improvisation skills to Gary Moore. Gonna be a cold day in hell before someone will bend better than Gary Moore.

I LOVE that album. Top to bottom it is phenomenal.

Gary Moore was a genius. You can find a simple example in this video, where he uses a single bend to find all the notes of a lick. Great guitar player, singer, composer and a huge influence for thousands of guitarrists that are also top players. In my opinion, he is at the same level as Hendrix, Van Halen, Malmsteen and other guitar monsters. He is still missed...

I saw Gary Moore at the Monsters of Rock in 1984 (Germany) and he was by far the best performance that day. His solos were incredible!

There's guitar technicians and there's great sounding guitarists that play with soul, feel and great musicality, that's what Moore was. RIP.

As a guiter player I always loved his fast guitar blueslicks and solos. Inspired me a lot. Still I love them. He had great voice and was great guitar player.

I've been to Gary Moore's gigs a few times - during the 80s in his rock/metal phase, and when he had become a bonafide bluesman. Phenomenal musician and instantly recognisable... I wish I could've seen him before his stint in Thin Lizzy, the stuff he did with Coloseum and Gforce was just decades ahead of its time. Cheers Gary! 🙏

My favourite Gary Moore solo is on "City of Gold" by BBM (Bruce/Baker/Moore). Most people have never heard of it, but it's a masterclass in how to write and play a fast rhythm and blues solo that builds twists, turns, progresses and builds to a searing conclusion. Absolute genius! Look it up everyone, you won't be disappointed

I attended that Superbowl at Jerry World and sat on the 50 (I got in free to boot). Needless to say I left on cloud 9, feeling life couldn't get any better. When I got home we heard the news, and it brought me right back to reality. The man was a true guitar god. And sorry about your Steelers, you guys will have some HOFers from that team, including Tomlin. Hope he can resurrect Wilson for ya'll. Pittsburgh is a cornerstone franchise.

I met Gary once doing a chauffering job in the noughties, Hove to Chelsea harbour hotel. He and his girlfriend had a couple of little bags and a Gary had a guitar case which he kept in the back with him. He was lovely, chatted freely, and I asked him if the guitar was because he was gigging that night? He said no, he just always has one with him, especially for writing in case the ideas start to flow. I never saw him play live but I very much cherish passing a little time with a gent and a guitar great ❤

Phenomenal guitarist, ashame that he didn't take of himself as he got older, nor did those around him R.I.P.

This intro is the most insane opening to a song I have ever heard, and ever since. I was so happy I purchased that live album when it came out. It rips your face off, Gary was not like other blues guys but could be if asked nicely.

Gary is the all time G.O.A.T! No one has the touch, the feel and the emotion that he has.

Now every time I listen to one of his songs my heart just melts, they are all so powerful.

Empty Rooms live in 87 was my favorite, his vocal and lead at the end were phenomenal, so emotional, brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat every time I listen to it, heck just thinking about it now has me tearing up.
