    Gary was a typical working class north England lad 👍 that song is about his sister and him and the poverty and neglect they experienced as kids, Empty rooms.. where we learned to live without love..two little kids, with a very bleak future ahead of them.😔 I think it effected Gary all of his life, R.I.P.

    America had SRV and Europe had Gary Moore. Two of the absolute best to ever do it. Stevie shredded strings and played dirty nasty blues, Gary burned amps to ground and poured his soul through every note. Their souls were fused to their instruments in a way few will ever be blessed enough to approach.

    THE MESSIAH WILL COME AGAIN.... More feeling, emotions, extraordinary talent, expression, stage presens, showmanship, love for playing his instrument, passion to inspire and delight your fans, is not possible. Only Gary can do that, in my opinion. I was lucky enough to see him live on stage once. Here in Cologne, Germany on his "After the War" tour in 1989. Before he switched to the Blues. Unimaginable and unforgettable experience and defently a lifechanger for me. R.I.P. GARY

    Gary Moore had been playing since the 60's and also played in the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy (he was good friends w/ late bassist/vocalist Phil Lynott)... He launched a solo career in the 70's and was pretty big in Europe by the 80's... Unfortunately, he didn't break big in America until his blues album 'Still got the blues' sold gold in the US in 1990... That success sort of limited his fame as a blues guitarist (He was more of a hard rock guitarist & vocalist w/ heavy blues influences) Tragically, he struggled w/ alcohol abuse and passed away in 2011 at age 58.

    Both David and Gary play with full emotion & passion! THAT is the similarity you're hearing. I've been playing guitar for 57 years now, since I was 8 (I am no where NEAR even a good guitarist) and have watched/listened to them all over the decades. Gary is right up there with the very best of them! In my view, he's in the top 25 easily. This was an outstanding solo from him, and very much a demonstration of that emotion and passion that he played with. Plus, he had great vocals!

    I´m like you in that I don´t like saying that "this is THE best ever". When it comes to any instrument, there are different times, genres, ways of playing, available tech, different styles and different feelings. BUT, I feel comfortable in saying "DON`T MISS THIS!" - he was _one_ of the best. Anyone on the "Guitar Road" can´t just skip Gary. RIP.

    Honestly, although he’s not my favorite guitarist (I do enjoy it he’s just not at my #1 place) I believe that the title of “greatest live electric guitar solo” goes to Jimi Hendrix playing machine gun at the filmore east. One of the few times jimi showed just how good he was outside of the studio.
