"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.

Aye...

This was pretty much my introduction to Gary Moore. He's covering Jimi Hendrix's song Red House. But, much like Stevie Ray did with Texas Flood and Voodoo Child, and Joe Bonamassa did with Blues Deluxe, Red House now belongs to Gary.

RIP Gary. You will be missed.

Gary played on the album Black Rose. I'm listening to it now in his memory.

 

Sad and slightly ironic death at only 58... the guy didn't lead a total rock'n'roll lifestyle. Your number's up when its time, apparently.

... back to topic ...

Sad Loss, really.

Lost track of him when he started to do only blues rock albums, but his early 80s work is partly terrific. "Out in the Fields", "Over the Hills ..." and "Military Man" belong to my fav songs of the whole decade, and "We Want Moore" is one of the greatest live albums of heavy metal (yeah, we called it metal back then ...).

Amazing musicianship and explosiveness.

Was one of my first concerts as well.

Thanks, Gary.

Send us a jam with Phil and Rory from up there some time.

Paul Rodgers (BAD COMPANY, FREE, QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS) has released the following statement regarding the passing of legendary guitarist Gary Moore:

 

"Gary was a friend and a truly great man. I respect that he played the game his way... no time for B.S. He was focused and passionate about music and was one of the best.

 

"The last time that I jammed with Gary, he came on as my special guest at London's Royal Albert Hall and proceeded to take it to another level... the place imploded! When he played, he was a man on fire.

 

"If there hadn't been an ocean between us and Gary didn't mind flying, we absolutely would have created more together.

 

"We've lost a great British blues man and I am very, very sad."

 

According to Mirror.co.uk, Moore died of a suspected heart attack, a postmortem revealed yesterday (Monday, February 7).

Ozzy Osbourne has released the following statement to U.K.'s Classic Rock magazine regarding the passing of legendary guitarist Gary Moore:

 

"I knew Gary Moore for what seemed like forever. We'd run into each other many times over the years and we were always able to pick up right where we left off.

 

"I had the honor of recording with Gary on his 'After The War' album on the track 'Led Clones' which was great fun.

 

"To say that his death is a tragic loss doesn't seem to give it the justice it deserves. We've lost a phenomenal musician and a great friend.

 

"Rest in peace, Gary."
