Saw Gary live opening for Frank Zappa in San Francisco in 1970 when he was 17 and I was 16.I met Gary and his bandmates in Skid Row when they played at The Temple club in London 1971. He was the fastest guitar player I had ever seen at that point. And he just kept getting better and better... Luv, BluzCat w-^b_c^-w-->
When I learned of Mr. Moore death I got really, really sad and upset.
Why most of the greatest rock and blues/rock musicians have to die sooooo early?.
I knew his last albums (those blues albums).
And he was amazing and play his music from his
Now you are in good company of great musicians (such as Mr. Presley, Mr. Lennon, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Hendrix, Mr. Gallagher, Mr. Moon, Mr. Entwistte, Mr. Morrison, Ms. Joplin, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Gatton, Mr. Allman, Mr Wright and on and on and on.
My own preference was Roy Buchanan's original version, but Gary shows how great he is by paying tribute to Roy so spot on & then doing the Gary Moore way.
Now come on children let's not get into who's best, it's down to your own preference, but to me both were great & now no longer with us.
Gary, like Roy, threw so much passion into his playing and performance that it moves the soul. We are poorer for the loss of them both, but richer for their legacy.
I am sorry to see part of this come to a debate about Gary Moore and Roy Buchanan. As a guitarist, I can appreciate both performances. I remember the first time I heard this song by Roy as a 14 year old guitarist and it changed me forever in the fact I went blues. Gary had an interesting interpretation of the song and showed what could be done new with it. This song truly changed me forever.
Liking Moore over Buchanan or vice versa, is personal taste: where Gary Moore's take is more elaborate and overwrought, Buchanan's is a simple, plaintive rendition. And being Buchanan's composition, that's likely how it was meant to sound, and the one I prefer.
This man is something special. No one else can get his guitar to sing as he does. The fact that he can put so much emotion into the tones is just unbelievable. Almost supernatural. If the guitars have a god. Then Gery More is the God for guitars.
Wishing you were here!! Love you Gery!!! Missing you hard and painful!!!!!
Opinions vary, and they are just that, opinions. Including my own. For my money however, NOBODY could touch this guy. He was in his own stratosphere !! Rest In Peace Beautiful Brother Gary Moore. Thank You For Everything.
Listen to 'On second thoughts' by coloseum 2. gary Morre was amazing at everything he did. my pal asked him if he stole all his lickds from John McLaughlin. He laughed at us and said '"No, form Jeff beck!" We had just seen him play with greg lake and spellbind the audience .
I am sorry I never got to see this man live. All credits to Roy for writing this song and performing it superbly. But Moore takes it, makes it his own, takes it to the moon and back...It is insane.
Dear Gary...Honestly my Words are not enough to express all the sadness and disconfort I feel right now I found out You passed away, We'll Still Have the Blues for You FOREVER, Now that Beautiful Guitar is in Heaven and you're enchanting God with those Beautiful Song, all Your Fans Worldwide and here the YouTube Fans will always remember You....THUMBS UP IF GARY CHARMED YOU WITH HIS MUSIC! R.I.P Gary Moore
God needs a guitar lesson, he took gary. I have no fear of death. because I know what I expect from God for a concert. Bon Scott. Randy Rhoads. Phil Lynott. Gary Moore, Jimi Hendrix and all the other musicians. we all meet again. who was kind to others, has free entry. who was poor, must work hard behind the stage and has no party. however, we all have a nice concert. REST IN PEACE FROM GERMANY
Can't believe he is gone. This is the finest piece of guitar work ever. From every guitarist, we will miss you Gary. Our Les Pauls are at half mast! RIP
I can`t believe any guitar player be it schooled or otherwise (read that jazz snobs) could ever knock this performance. Most jazz guys would never go out on a limb like this and rip yer head off with one of the most pleasing assaults on your senses like Gary Moore did. Effects? Does anybody hear much more than guitar..cord..amp here other than the verb? Man this is good listening, and I`m gonna miss Gary.
RIP man - thanks for all the great music. It is a great sadness, but the great gig in the sky just keeps getting better better, as more of the greats leave us here to plug in to their amps up there. Hopefully one day we'll all meet again, in the best festival imaginable!
Taking a look at the comments, all I have to say is that I'm sick of asshats who have only played music in their basement or in front of their relatives and girlfriend who come on youtube and talk bullshit and criticize everyone.
Yes, I play the guitar and I understand what scales he plays and if he misfrets or what effects he used but can you fucking do this better man? I doubt you can.
This man inspired me and a lot of other people to play guitar so shut the fuck up you are NOONE.
Hey valkour22. Sounds like you're shit hot. How about posting a few videos of your band so we can all take some pot-shots at you?? You're probably too gutless. Wanker.
this dude is like the 1000 other guitarist out thier cant play a thing without a million $ worth effects.im so tired of stupid people thinking people like Gary Moore are unbelievable guitarist! Reality check the dude is horrible nothing but effects.I used to think people like him were good until i started studying music and found out these so called guitar gods suxx when iot comes to actual music theory.Sounds like total crap and if u think diferent then go get a hearing exam
To quote you! "use your ears!' where are all the effects? Gary Moore uses only some delay and a little reverb! the rest is just drive ! I think you have a very large chip on your shoulder pal ! This guy could blow you away with a $20 pawnbroker special ! That kind of playing is in the soul !
I recon you should put up ! or shut up !! My challenge to you is "post a video of yourself playing something! and let us judge you as you do others ! you sad little man ! come on ! do it !!!!
@stevestratmarshall Tell me the truth do u really think this guy is good???Seriously? This is straight pentatonics with a touch of lydian at the end performed on 1 string then back to pentatonic u gotta be joking. You gotta be a fanboy cause if u cant see that then dude u have no place to say what is good music. This my friend is the bottem of the barrel in good performance!
@stevestratmarshall i just watched 2 more video's of this clown act and guess what he did the same baby pentatonic scale and fing didnt even use the blue note lololol and u think this guy is good lololol
@smazamataz i'm sorry for your loss. beautiful song for such a life event. hope this song reminds you of the good memories you've had with him. gary moore's songs are very touching.
This is one guitar player who has it all! His technique is near perfect, his tone is killer, and he has more soul in his litlte finger than most musicians have in there whole body. I've seen him live twice and he is incredible to see. Though he somtimes overplays abit, he is without a doubt one of the great soloists in quitar history! To bad he isn't more well known here in the states.
@johnnylance Now look what happened while nagging about who´s a better guitarplayer, this one died as well! Is Roy best? Gary? or even Ry Cooder? Like asking who's better, Rama or Shiva. Jesus or his Father or even the Holy Spirit. It doesn't matter. We're all mortal as it seemed. Asking me what makes this song so good? It's the Hammond organ. That sets the tone and atmosphere, giving me the shivers. For lots of songs the guitar(player) gets the credit. Fender, Gibson whatever. Hammond rules.
@Jan621117 I didn't start this, it started way back down the page. I just don't happen to believe that how good a guitarist is to be purely subjective. I love Roy and I really like Mike and I'm a Hendrix nut. I also listen to Jazz most of the time. But I don't know of any other guitarist that could pull this tune off like Gary did. He was just one of a kind. There are plenty of things he couldn't play but some of what he did play was pure genius. And I love B3s: my brother has three of them...
@johnnylance I know. You can dragged into something that wasn´t the purpose. I agree, the way Gary did this piece of music is an additional approach to Roy´s more basic work of art. I´ts just that some people think they know what´s better or best, but in that way comparing apples with pears. Some like apples, some like pears. But even worse, some feel the need to show their dislike by voting thumb down on a masterpiece, or on something they are not interested in. if not interested, don´t vote!
And for me, having jazz aknowledge, he's the best, and he plays great, perfectly live or on studio. Theres a song when he was 16 or 17, in 69, "sign on my mind", by the band Dr. Strangerly strange thats resume all his high level playing guitar! And his vocal is marvelous hugs for all
Great video, great song. Gary Moore is one of my all-time favorite artists. His versions of this song have always paid excellent ribute to the late Roy Buchanan.
So is this where the scorpions got the idea for still loving you? maybe after hearing the original by Roy Buchanan. Credit given here to Mr Moore he is amassing but sometimes less is more.
This is a man possesed? in a way id like 2 be? Can use fuckers all shut up and enjoy this? Im sick of every vid i watch sumthing wrong etc\?? Well if u can play like this post it and shut up?This is educational, we all know its not an original? Thia is awesome, end of? ENJOY...
where did you get this from, wow - I only just heard Roy Buchanan - I think both are exceptional for different reasons, the original is great, played clean - I think Moore has such exceptional technique - so equally I like both - superb song, which I am learning
Thats done by hitting the string with the volume turned off and then quickly turning it up again. Roy did that in several of his songs - Sweet Dreams . . . .
Thats done by hitting the string with the volume turned off and then quickly turning it up again. Roy did that in several of his songs - Sweet Dreams . . . .
Not bad, but I like Roy Buchanan's original version much better. I understand that musical tastes are subjective and there really is no right or wrong here, but in my opinion, Roy Buchanan is the best of all time. Seeing him live was such a treat! I like Gary Moore a lot, and he does a great job, it's a real nice tribute to Roy!!
After reading your comment i had a listen to Roy , very good . but sometimes covers are better , this is one of those times , Gary's tone and flowing style is amazing
Totally disagree, but like I said before, music is very subjective. I've been fortunate, having seen both artists live several times, and while Gary Moore is an excellent guitarist, Roy Buchanan would have blown your socks off. There are also many different live versions of Buchanan playing that tune, so it depends on what you have heard. Nobody compares to his studio version. Have a great day!
@Dc328 I've heard them both Live, and I have to tell you Gary is just a better guitar player. That said, there is no reason not to love Roy... I'm forever sorry that he was hell-bent on self- destruction. Gary is not in such great shape either.
Lately I've been amazed by Bireli Lagrene. He may be the worlds greatest guitar player...
@johnnylance sorry johnny, I vehemently disagree. I have also seen both, in fact I;ve seen Gary Moore more times that Buchanan, but he never impressed me as much as Roy. Moore is not a better guitarist. This is a nice cover, but in noway is it better than the original. I have nothing against Gary Moore, or I wouldn't have gone to see him 5 times, to Roy's 3. Again, as I've said before, music is very subjective, I like the Stones, you may like the Dead, not a problem, just the way it is:)
come on! your kidding? this guys dosent make you smile? wow to me that is what music is about... make you smile/cry its emotion .. i love both versions moore/bucannon both great
Yup, you're one sick puppy who probably jerks off to this guy and has nothing better to do with himself (because you're probably fat and ugly), ans spends time polishing his rocket to this Moore. Make sure you don't get any on your keyboard.
This is great fun. I have not laughed so much since your mum showed me your photograph. Ask yourself this oh great sage of the blues. If Gary Moore is so bad why did BB King, Albert Collins etc agree to play live with him. He was not supporting them, it was the opposite way about. Listen to the comments THEY make about Gary's playing, they at least know what they are talking about. Now it's past your bed time, off you go and remember to wear your wank sock. Tell your mum I'm asking for her.
This is a free country and I am entitled to my opinion - or am I going to fast for you?
Obviously, your infantile behavior speaks volumes. Do you always resort to cheap shots when someone disagrees with you? - if so, you've got issues, so get help ok?
Comparing BB King to Gary Moore is an insult. Almost every great guitar player today will tell you that King, among others, influenced them. How many great guitarists of today say that about Moore??? none!
Sorry I took so long to answer I was in bed with your Mother. She was complaining of her backward son who persists in living in the past. Since King was older than God's dog, it only follows that years from now guitarists will say that Gary Moore influenced them. So off you go and play your 78's. I will now call you MUDDYWATERSROBERTJOHNSONSOLDMYSOLETOTHEDEVILBODIDDLEYBBYOUAREMYHEROLIVINGINTHEPASTPRICK. Off you go now to your attic room like a good little boy.
Jlg, Peter Green said Moore was the best guitarist he'd played with when Moore was oly 17. Jack Bruce still says he's the best guitarist he ever played with. Steve Vai once named him as his favourite soloist in Guitar World. Yngwie Malmsteen regards him as a perfect stylist. He was one of Rany Rhoads favourite players. Albert Collins and Albert King were both effusive in their praise of Moore. Those are failry good, not to menitoned varied, references.

Let me see... Who else could play this song so well....
No One!!!
Gary Moore is the best at what he does. Playing kick ass, over driven Rock Blues.
Yes, better than anyone else. Period.

@johnnylance Now look what happened while nagging about who´s a better guitarplayer, this one died as well! Is Roy best? Gary? or even Ry Cooder? Like asking who's better, Rama or Shiva. Jesus or his Father or even the Holy Spirit. It doesn't matter. We're all mortal as it seemed. Asking me what makes this song so good? It's the Hammond organ. That sets the tone and atmosphere, giving me the shivers. For lots of songs the guitar(player) gets the credit. Fender, Gibson whatever. Hammond rules.

@Jan621117 I didn't start this, it started way back down the page. I just don't happen to believe that how good a guitarist is to be purely subjective. I love Roy and I really like Mike and I'm a Hendrix nut. I also listen to Jazz most of the time. But I don't know of any other guitarist that could pull this tune off like Gary did. He was just one of a kind. There are plenty of things he couldn't play but some of what he did play was pure genius. And I love B3s: my brother has three of them...
johnnylance 8 months ago
@johnnylance I know. You can dragged into something that wasn´t the purpose. I agree, the way Gary did this piece of music is an additional approach to Roy´s more basic work of art. I´ts just that some people think they know what´s better or best, but in that way comparing apples with pears. Some like apples, some like pears. But even worse, some feel the need to show their dislike by voting thumb down on a masterpiece, or on something they are not interested in. if not interested, don´t vote!

And for me, having jazz aknowledge, he's the best, and he plays great, perfectly live or on studio. Theres a song when he was 16 or 17, in 69, "sign on my mind", by the band Dr. Strangerly strange thats resume all his high level playing guitar! And his vocal is marvelous hugs for all

Not bad, but I like Roy Buchanan's original version much better. I understand that musical tastes are subjective and there really is no right or wrong here, but in my opinion, Roy Buchanan is the best of all time. Seeing him live was such a treat! I like Gary Moore a lot, and he does a great job, it's a real nice tribute to Roy!!

After reading your comment i had a listen to Roy , very good . but sometimes covers are better , this is one of those times , Gary's tone and flowing style is amazing
remitablechair 1 year ago
Totally disagree, but like I said before, music is very subjective. I've been fortunate, having seen both artists live several times, and while Gary Moore is an excellent guitarist, Roy Buchanan would have blown your socks off. There are also many different live versions of Buchanan playing that tune, so it depends on what you have heard. Nobody compares to his studio version. Have a great day!
Dc328 1 year ago 2
@Dc328 I've heard them both Live, and I have to tell you Gary is just a better guitar player. That said, there is no reason not to love Roy... I'm forever sorry that he was hell-bent on self- destruction. Gary is not in such great shape either.
Lately I've been amazed by Bireli Lagrene. He may be the worlds greatest guitar player...
johnnylance 1 year ago
@johnnylance sorry johnny, I vehemently disagree. I have also seen both, in fact I;ve seen Gary Moore more times that Buchanan, but he never impressed me as much as Roy. Moore is not a better guitarist. This is a nice cover, but in noway is it better than the original. I have nothing against Gary Moore, or I wouldn't have gone to see him 5 times, to Roy's 3. Again, as I've said before, music is very subjective, I like the Stones, you may like the Dead, not a problem, just the way it is:)

Yup, you're one sick puppy who probably jerks off to this guy and has nothing better to do with himself (because you're probably fat and ugly), ans spends time polishing his rocket to this Moore. Make sure you don't get any on your keyboard.
Get help asshole.
jlg1956 2 years ago
This is great fun. I have not laughed so much since your mum showed me your photograph. Ask yourself this oh great sage of the blues. If Gary Moore is so bad why did BB King, Albert Collins etc agree to play live with him. He was not supporting them, it was the opposite way about. Listen to the comments THEY make about Gary's playing, they at least know what they are talking about. Now it's past your bed time, off you go and remember to wear your wank sock. Tell your mum I'm asking for her.
ian436 2 years ago 2
Look you moron...
This is a free country and I am entitled to my opinion - or am I going to fast for you?
Obviously, your infantile behavior speaks volumes. Do you always resort to cheap shots when someone disagrees with you? - if so, you've got issues, so get help ok?
Comparing BB King to Gary Moore is an insult. Almost every great guitar player today will tell you that King, among others, influenced them. How many great guitarists of today say that about Moore??? none!
jlg1956 2 years ago
Sorry I took so long to answer I was in bed with your Mother. She was complaining of her backward son who persists in living in the past. Since King was older than God's dog, it only follows that years from now guitarists will say that Gary Moore influenced them. So off you go and play your 78's. I will now call you MUDDYWATERSROBERTJOHNSONSOLDMYSOLETOTHEDEVILBODIDDLEYBBYOUAREMYHEROLIVINGINTHEPASTPRICK. Off you go now to your attic room like a good little boy.

BrainFPatterson 2 years ago
Jlg, Peter Green said Moore was the best guitarist he'd played with when Moore was oly 17. Jack Bruce still says he's the best guitarist he ever played with. Steve Vai once named him as his favourite soloist in Guitar World. Yngwie Malmsteen regards him as a perfect stylist. He was one of Rany Rhoads favourite players. Albert Collins and Albert King were both effusive in their praise of Moore. Those are failry good, not to menitoned varied, references.
