clem Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I remember the guys on "That Metal Show" belly-aching that Thin Lizzy needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Um.....o.k.......but, there are other folks that need to get in first. Clem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Collins - Sound On Sound Interview 2002 Good find mate... Here's the pertinent quote: "I produced a track for Gary Moore, who was opening up for Rush in 1984-85, and as a result of that I got a gig with Rush. I did the Power Windows album."

Undemanding Contact Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Man oh man... I just had an 'Oh No' moment when I read the title of this thread. I used to have a tape of Corridors of Power (an excellent post-Lizzy album of his), which I used to play at unfeasibly loud volume, in between airings of Permanent Waves and other Rush classics, back in the early-mid eighties, driving my first car on that fantastic stretch of road between Aylesbury and Northampton (I was studying for my degree around that time in Northampton). Loved that album - great memories - and I still think that his cover of Wishing Well was streets ahead of the original. For me, Moore was to the British rock guitar-sound as Eddie Van Halen is/was to the American equivalent. A friend of mine and I saw him play once in Leicester - I remember it well because the venue was so damn hot, and my friend lost his car keys (temporarily, thank God). Moore was a truly sensational guitarist, one of the best blues/rock guitarists ever to emerge from the British rock scene, and I am moved and saddened by his passing. So young too - hell, he was only ten years older than me. I also have still, somewhere, a VHS recording of him playing live on The Old Grey Whistle test (for those from other lands: a much-respected contemporary music programme on BBC 2, now defunct sadly), in which a young guitarist with a Duran Duran haircut was interviewed about the album that he and his band had just released. During the interview, said guitarist mentioned how his band and Gary Moore had toured together. The name of that guitarist? Alex Lifeson. The name of the band... well, we all know that one... RIP Gary, and thanks for the thrill mate - thinking of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 "So, Phil, what happens now?" "Well, I've called Cozy and Bon and they're coming over for a jam. That's what we do here mostly ... jam." "Cool. I think I'm going to like it here." If there's any justice that's how it should be. ... R.I.P Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
