patrick moraz was interviewed by keyboard magazine in the early 90's and he kind of slammed the band..( why is he hanging out with the moody blues?) was the title of the article. and of course the moodies read it and said if you are so unhappy thyen leave..and they gave him his walking papers. he got a bloody nose because he was technically a contract musician - he thought he was a full share member. and now he does a few movie soundtracks. he was a bit brash and his mouth cost him a great job.

@manicm24 It could be that he hasn't been photographed very well. He looks much better on video where he's actually an animated and relaxed person. I agree with you about The Present, that's when I started warming up to him. I loved Ray's two songs, especially which wouldn't have been the same without Moraz (like the instrumental ending on "Going Nowhere"). Great stuff! and so well produced.

I love LDV and "The Present.Now we won't talk about Octave . But The Moodies Rock. Still and always will be my Favorite band forever. Seen them lots of time and I am never disappointed. And I was never embarrassed to say I Love them.
-
Patick Moraz' intro to "Your Wildest Dreams" stands up as perhaps the most stirring and significant musical intro of all time.
-
thank you redbaron863. For bringing these videos of this legendary band to light. I get goosebumps listening to Justin Hayward and John Lodge speaking about the band in the beginning.
-
@manicm24 I also agree 100%
-
Loved Moodies from the very beginning.So wrong that UK does not give them publicity like USA does;but they certainly were not forgotten by fans here in England
-

Moraz was vastly underrated IMO, and the stupid old git who said 'he didn't work out' was obviously oblivious to the success of LDV - of which Justin himself said Moraz's contribution was large.
Also Moraz's playing on The Present was stunning, whatever you think of the album his performance there cannot be faulted.
Patrick just seems to be a guy everyone loves to hate - truth be told whoever else it was to replace Mike would have been equally despised but probably less talented than PM.

It's possible that meteoric success would have ruined the Moody Blues, because they would not have been allowed to transition. They had to change or they would have been stuck in the sixties. Now, their music covers all of my life and we have all travelled this time together. I'm so glad that the U.S. listeners stick to their favorites, because it keep the Moodies from fading away.
