RIP: Gary Moore 1952 – 2011

We have some very sad news to report today. The music industry lost another great one. Legendary guitarist, Gary Moore, who is most famous for playing guitar for the Irish blues band, Skid Row, and playing guitar for the Irish rock band, Thin Lizzy, passed away today. Gary only played for three albums with Skid Row. While he did play for Thin Lizzy, he only appeared on some songs on some of their albums, Gary didn’t play guitar on every Thin Lizzy song. Gary mostly concentrated on his solo career for most of life. While he did play every genre of music including heavy metal and jazz, his biggest influence was the blues. Gary Moore, in my opinion, is one of the true greats in guitar playing. Every time he performed on stage, the man was always on fire. We truly lost a great one. Gary Moore was just 58 years old.
