Nightwish killed the spirit of this song... It really sucks, in my opinion...

Fanstastic stuff, what a superb blend of rock and trad celtic!
If I'm not much mistaken thats Robbie Brennan on the drums, previously of Phil Lynott's Grand Slam and of course he played with Gary in the early 70's in Skid Row. I wonder if he did this as a favour to Gary as he had no permanent drummer at the time? Anyone know?
RIP Gary, we'll never see the likes of you again and the world is a poorer place without you.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. gary, you'll be alive in our heart and ears forever!

@Obelix5150 Oh well I'd like there was more Gary around the world.... I actually can't explain why.... It's like when you're a child and your dad tells you a story to sleep...well with this song, Gary's my dad...and Tarja's the girl that works in the shop at the other end of the street, you know her, but she doesn't sing for your heart! ;)

@gotrekspyke The only problem with NIghtwish's is Tarja... she's a good singer but she ain't Irish enough. And Empuu is no Gary of course ;) but is anyone?

@Shredalist Probably had something to do with equipment; if memory serves me correctly, Moore used a Paul Reed Smith during the Wild Frontier sessions, and a Fender Stratocaster during the supporting concert tour in 1987.
-
@Shredalist I guess he's simply adjusting the volume for the solo...
-
@gotrekspyke Completely agree...

I'm not quite certain, but I think he was trying to grab on the whammy bar for that note at 2:57, but...there is not a bar to whammy. Funny stuff from a legendary musician.

Yes he did but if I put that video up his record company will have it removed.
