had the pleasure of seeing the guy , once with thin lizzy and again on his last tour at wolverhampton , i can only say the guy was an absolute genius and in my opinion very very underated <3
'99 and in physical decline. As great as he was, he neglected his gift to himself and fans. Sadly too young, we shouldn't believe that he was a victim of addiction or some congenital defect, beyond his control. We have a legitimate hope that JB is on a better path and place in his great career. Of all of GM's gifts to us, this message should be among the greatest. Love and take care or ourselves, cherish, share and celebrate our gifts and the amazing potential of life itself. God bless us all.
Are you kidding me?......well no....just really listen to this master...he got All the blues running thru those veins......and many followed him......way to go GM
so much talent in every field of guitar from shredding to melodic playing with full emotion. gary moore was really speaking his emotion threw music and that is incredible for a human being to do. to tie his soul and emotions into the physical world threw practice and discipline of perfecting his expression abilities.
@jezmundberserker Wrong, it's by Little Willie Johns brother Mertis.
Real Name: Mertis John Jr.
Profile: Writer and songwriter, born 22 May 1932 in Detroit, Michigan. His best known composition is probably Need Your Love So Bad, a hit for his brother Little Willie John in 1956, later covered by Fleetwood Mac and others.
@Bluesblaster: I was sure Little Willie John had written it. Just in case, I searched for it at cocatalog.loc.gov (copyrights catalog, gov't website). It says the copyright belongs to William John (Little Willie). I would trust this more than the discogs.com website. In any case, it was not a BB King tune.
@jezmundberserker OK, so the copyrights belong to William John, but that does not necessarily mean he also wrote it.... I guess we'll never know now. But who cares, it's a terrific song. Cheers.
@Bluesblaster: That is true indeed. I think it's also the case with "Rocket 88" from '51 which is supposed to be the first rock n roll song. I've seen it credited to Jackie Brenston but also to Ike Turner. Jackie was the singer in Ike's band. Maybe, in both cases, the song was co-written.
deservedly respectful to peter greens version from gary moore,another fine player.another,sadly,little known player called stylish or styles watermelon does a knockout version of the song but you won,t find him,i don,t think,on you tube at all!i saw him play it at a club up in london coupla years ago.
I'd like to know what happened to all these guys, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, the rolling stones ect, because these guys are TRUE TALENT, nowadays if it int got some sort of beat boxing shit in it it int 'cool' people dont give rock a chance anymore. People are so stereotypical nowadays, especially in the music world, sort it out people, cuz rock n roll is gonna hit you in the face one of these days.
@Powerplay4545 Gary is one of the most capable shredders in the group of guitarists I'd call "legit blues men." On this side of Bonamassa he is one of the most technically accomplished blues guitarists. Weird that you bring "shredding nonsense" as a positive aspect of his when he was perfectly capabale and even known for his flurries of fast fret board fireworks.
What can I write that hasn't been written before... Love this deep, moody, melancholy Irish man. I wanna a bio, movie, book something more. I can't get enough of Gary
Mr. Gary Moore is one gifted person, coming from a guy that love the blues all blues or as someone told me ,,, it electric blues glad i found out what it is that i truely love about music...
thanks god he lives on earth for a moment i was flying in space with my clossing eyes when i realise that this genius belong to earth thanks god for that. imaging if there is another life outthere i am sure they make him a offer that he can not refuse just to enjoy his superb music like all of us did. thanks uploader for your efforts and sharing well done.
Sorry to say, but the UK media are only interested in when the likes of Michael Jackson die. Or Take That, Westlife, X-facter no marks etc,etc. Gary was given a short tribute shown only in Ireland. True musical ability is not appreciated in the UK anymore. To think we gave the world the Beatles,Stones, Zep, Clapton, Beck, Purple etc,etc and and now Simon Cowels twats are more important !
@Bluesbreaker57 This Canadian ex-musician LOVES this man... he was the best of a very few... so sad to hear he had passed. He's left a wonderful legacy and unfortunately very few people know even who he is, or the talent he shared with the world.... think his loss is great... You are right though about the press... I was a fan and didn't hear for months after he died.... R.I.P. GM... ♥
That just goes to show how disconnected the UK media are from what is truly significant and important. There are many, many people who appreciate the true tragedy of Gary Moore's death. Beauty is expressed in many ways. The individuals on XFactor are all striving to be the best they can be. The media milks them for money but that doesn't diminish what each person is trying to do.
P.S. Gary Moore's playing on this track is perfection on six strings.
@Bluesbreaker57 Valid point; I very much agree with your comments, albeit that I might not have used quite the same language to describe Simon Cowel. Notwithstanding, you are (in my opinion) spot-on with your observation.
@Bluesbreaker57 i totaly agree mate im not a massive fan i appreaciate the work he did with albert collins but this is full of soul reminds me of the guy out of the commitments on this peace.
wow, if that was the only thing you ever did in your life you,d be worthy of praise. some people still dont know he passed away, thats what little attention was given in england. shame, on the idiot fed media.
Look how he works the vol knob on the guitar, he's always on it during the solo, building the tone and dynamics, making it slowly more intense... A lot of players nowadays forget some of the most varied tones come from your guitar's vol and tone knobs not from some overblown rack or pedal board!
@chooseyourblues Yes, specially the 335 is the tool to be lovely tuned up. Unlike a Strat the control knobs of the 335 can dramatically change your sound. E Clapp made a special vid about it (Cream period). And genious players like Chris Cain NEVER stop fiddling the controls.
Gary really "gets" this song. Many rock players with his level of skill can't seem to help over playing, but he doesn't let his playing get in the way of the song. He always put on a great live show too, I recall one amazing gig in the early 90s at the Royal Albert Hall where he'd played a complete set, then brought on a surprise guest for the encores - George Harrison! So sorry he's passed, RIP.
Though we never met, you taught me so much of how to properly combine blues and rock, technique with emotion and how to play fast and still have it mean something...
beautiful playing from the excellent gary moore.what i love about this is the lenghty solo at the end,which i wish peter green did with fleetwood mac...almost orgasmic!!!
@binghamme This comment makes me very sad now, knowing he's gone. It's silly how we can feel about people we have never met, yet it seems they have a big impact on our lives.
Oh well. Time to pick up the guitar and play some blues I guess =).
I like it, actually seems to be doing fine by that time, nowadays people are complaining about him being egocentric and lacking the oomph he had before.
Thanks Garry.
