      Oh f**k , stop it with the underrated. How were they underrated? This is a clip of them playing in Australia on the other side of the world, they were world famous throughout the 70s and early 80s with countless hit singles and albums. Underrated my arse.

I’ll bet you didn’t know that she had to give up two more kids for adoption and had a ridiculously hard life as a young single woman. Obviously she could have maybe had less sex but you try having less sex and seeing how much you enjoy life, regardless you dont have authentic right to judge amyone.@@TheOpenSociety777 people have a lot of hate for interracial relationships still to this day. She did the best she could for her son and went on to have a great relationship with him so you literally don’t know what you’re talking. She wrote a book try reading it genius.

      Best line up was Phil, Brian Downey, Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson. Their 4 best albums came from this line up. Gary was their best guitarist but could not recreate the melodies that Robertson and Gorham created - this combo even Gary said was the best version of Lizzy.

      @monte5293 Agreed! Great albums,true. But you have to admit that "Black Rose: A Rock Legend " was the peak of creativity for the Gary Moore lineup.
