Gary Moore is No More

I never thought that I would return to this blog to pay tributes to one of the greatest rock guitarists ever, Gary Moore. The first Gary Moore I listened to was Out in the Fields, a hard-rocking song, 20 years back. A hardcore Floyd fan was willing to share the recorded album with me. Gary rocked throughout the album and I became an immediate fan of the guitarist.

Still Got the Blues was a great surprise. The song was featured in almost all the ballad collections at a period where there were no CDs. The lead solo was simply superb and exciting, but channels later edited this out for better airplay. This is another indication how channels have drowned music created by several virtuoso guitarists. Another song, Pretty Woman, was another exhilarating anthem.

With a heavy heart I pay my tributes to one of the greatest guitarists.
