Oh that is sad news - excellent guitarist who I've seen many times both with Thin Lizzy and solo.
I saw him at the Albert Hall when he had Albert Collins guesting and then he had a surprise guest - George Harrison. Among others they played When My Guitar Gently Weeps - it was a great night.

Again very sad - R.I.P. Gary
I was at that gig too. Legend - one of my favourite guitarists. Even his commercial stuff was brilliant. Parisienne Walkways and Still Got The Blues have some of the most 'feeling' I've ever heard.
Lizzy were right up amongst the best bands for me, although all the best stuff was recorded with Brian Robertson and Scott Goram I think that Gary Moore was a great guitarist both in and out of Lizzy.
I bought a Hamer sunburst from him in 1984, I still play it!!! One of the best players ever!
RIP
Died in his sleep - must be more to it than that.
I am so jealous that you own one of his guitars - the closest I got to a connection with him was that my band used to practice at the same studio as his, but we stopped using it because the guy started adding on VAT!
Hi there, Charlton fan in Sussex joining this site partly for non-football reasons re Gary Moore. Have drunk in the same pub in Brighton as Gary for the last 7-8 years. He has always been amazingly unassuming yet always quick to buy a round, an absolutely lovely guy to chat to etc. This is the first time I've ever found out about the death of someone I know via news sites (wasn't in the pub today, the staff and regulars all knew before me). Would never say we were actual mates, but we were on talking/name terms and have both bought each other a drink many times, really truly sad, a true gent as an individual [I don't even really know his music]. Am toasting him with a Guinness (his drink of choice) right now xx
