The incredible Billy Merziotis!!!!, the only person in this world who can play extremely similar to the greatest of all times, Gary Moore. My eternal respect for keeping Gary Moore alive.
Absolutely amazing, the world is a better place when guitarists like Billy Merziotis live among us. He makes a Les Paul singing and breathing, it is such a beautiful playing that I won't compare it to Gary Moore's every person is absolutely unique.
One of the very few covers that you know is not only a beautiful homage to Gary Moore but is owned by the player himself. Congratulations on this.
This is an outstanding performance Billy.I first saw Gary Moore live 14th February 1984 Glasgow Apollo when I was 17 years old.To have been in that audience for the recording of We Want Moore is a memory that will stay with me forever.
Billy, that is pretty feckin good. I'm a massive gary fan and for me nobody will ever come close,however, what you do is as close as it gets. Well done mate
Just when I thought I could corner the tribute market with my Gary skills I realised that the voice is important too.. this guy nails Gary's range and timbre perfectly. Drat! Ok bonamassa.. damn he can sing too! A self tribute it is then..
Billy, you have fantastic feeling in your playing. Gary would be really chuffed that you are carrying on his legacy, you absolutely rock!
Stevie Sedge Thank you!
Just found you “Billy”this is a Gary Moore masterpiece that breaks my heart & soul!!It describes my “sad-empty childhood”Gary Moore touches my heart& mind like no other! You’ve done him great 👍 justice…….finding this “ Master Musician “ at my age(73)has awakened me again! I regret it took me Soo long…….Thank you Billy!! I’ll be back!!🥰💜Nanny Stick Sister!
Lovely words Millie, respect from Ireland!
Didn’t want to watch this because it’s such a special song but omg this version is something else. Billy this is fantastic. Take a bow.

Vibrator??? Did you mean vibrato? I kept watching to check out this outstanding vibrator he he.
Πάντα άξιος!!!! Μπράβο. Η ψυχή του βρίσκεται μέσα σου. Χάρηκα πολύ που σε άκουσα, Billy!
I noticed there were a few Gary Moore tributes, so I started checking them out and wasn't overly impressed until I discovered this. Truly inspirational playing. Fantastic job. Would love to see you play in Canada or on holiday somewhere sometime.
Outstanding.
I really love it!
This is an absolute stellar performance. Award winning! The girls vocal harmony adds the perfect touch. Mr Merziotis must you know you are especially gifted.
