Gary Moore - RIP

I seem to be seeing posts like this more and more frequently these days - Yet again we pay tribute to the passing of a great musician. I couldn't believe it when I heard earlier of the death of Gary Moore. For me, and am sure many, GM was the last of the towering rock guitar icons - a dynasty started by Clapton, Beck and Hendrix and concluding with Gary Moore and Slash. Most importantly, Gary Moore brought a style of playing to a generation unfamiliar with the blues 'greats' and helped build a pathway for the young guitarists that followed in his footsteps.
I saw Gary in his time with Thin Lizzy, a performance I will never forget and would happily compare with the great performances I witnessed by both Jimmy Page and Rory Gallagher - sadly I never got to see him in more recent years, but was always impressed when I watched him on TV. Sadly we have lost one of the great British electric guitarists, the like of which we will probably never see again.
RIP Gary Moore
