RIP Irish blues rock guitarist, Gary Moore, who passed away 5 years ago today…

It’s kind of strange ’cause I’ve been listening to Gary Moore albums on Apple Music streaming most of this week. I was just in the mood for listening to some blues rock. Before anyone accuses me of being a bandwagon fan just because he died five years ago, it’s not true. I’ve been a fan of Gary Moore’s guitar playing even before that. Before he passed, I’ve always been a huge fan of his “Monsters of Rock” performance ’cause I remember watching it all on youtube. Then I started listening to all of his studio albums this week.

Many people wouldn’t think this but I fucking love the blues, man. Always had. I’ve kind of wanted to be a blues rock guitarist which is part of why I picked up the guitar in the first place. I love blues rock players like Gary Moore, SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, Joe Bonamassa, etc.

Gary Moore was a genius guitar player and he was a killer singer too. Before his passing, I’ve watched a lot of his live performances on youtube, just never listened to his studio albums until now. I wanna start collecting his music as I’ve just bought my own copy of his live album, “Monsters of Rock” a few nights ago.

I really love the blues a lot. I’ve been listening to a lot of blues music lately.

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.
