Gary Moore (born April 4, 1952 as Robert William Gary Moore in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is acknowledged as one of the finest guitarists to have originated in Ireland. In a career dating back to the 1960s he has played with bands including Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II, Greg Lake and Skid Row as well as having a successful solo career.

Moore started performing from a young age and got his first good guitar at the age of 14. In a career lasting over 30 years he has demonstrated that he is a fine musician, and his unique style of playing has adapted to very different music genres.

He is considered one of the best guitarists to date.

For blues fans, Moore’s best recorded, live performance on video is “LIVE BLUES” recorded in a small night club in London and was released in 1992 on VHS. It is now available on DVD as well. “LIVE BLUES” also features two songs with B.B. King appearing on stage with Moore. “The Thrill Is Gone” on this recording is probably the best version of this, complete with More’s Midnight Horns, female backup singers and dueling guitars. Many of Moore’s standard songs are on this 90 minute show and were mixed better than most of the studio versions of the same tunes for a very rich and full sound. Even Moore’s voice sounds better than it usually does in the studio. Moore does not seem interested in touring the United States.

Connection with Peter Green

According to numerous interviews he has given to guitar magazines, he was the protege of British Blues pioneer Peter Green, whom he had always admired ever since the Bluesbreakers days.

Blood of emeralds, run for cover, out in the fields, after the war, wild frontier, ready for love, over the hills and far away, kidnapped, hiroshima, military man, empty rooms... His best era, the 80's in my opinion, love his guitar, his tracks will be remembered forever, and his period into thin lizzy was awesome, master playing guitar!

Well, I'm disappointed since "Run for Cover"...it is not good album. Also Live in Japan is not very good.... Earlier, his albums was amazing. And especially his guitar play. I have hope that in next albums is better. Of course I listening his CDs in years sequence.
