Bandmates of former Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore have paid tribute to a "great player and great guy" following his death on holiday in Spain.

That's sad. Loved 'Parisienne Walkways', great son. RIP Gary.

Gary Moore was one of the really GREAT Blues guitarists EVER. Both vocally and instrumentally, he stayed at the top. Ironic that he did not gain the fame that was due him.

I think he was very well repected here in the UK Mike and of course in Ireland!

I was saddened when I heard this. Gary Moore was a fantastic guitarist. I am a big Thin Lizzy fan, too.

This is so devastating!! My hubby's cousin is his biggest fan and turned me on to him once again about a year ago. He in fact sent me a message just yesterday on FB saying "you contact Jimmy Page and I'll contact Gary Moore and get them to perform together and call themselves Moore Pages". I had to let him know when I found out earlier today and he's been posting his videos on his FB since. Here's one of his faves.

This will shock my husband who saw Gary Moore live several times. He's gone to join Phil Lynott... NB a comment after this video speculates on how he died & I make no comment.

I suppose it's all a part of "growing old" but me and my brother were talking on the phone last night about a TV programme that was on a couple of weeks ago that we both saw and he said he kept saying to his wife 'He's brilliant'...... he's dead now....... it's such a shame :weep: :weep:

[Annabel]

Great P W video TG, thanks for that. :yay: Love Whiskey in the jar too.

I know very little about Gary Moore, but the one tune of his that I do know, "Parisienne Walkways", is a beautiful piece of music.

May he rest in peace.

[Prettymaid]

Oh how sad! I remember my reaction the first time I heard Still Got The Blues on the car radio all those years ago. What talent!

[TimothyBFan]

Here's what the Sun is saying about his death. Sounds like the tragic death of another legend due to alcohol abuse. Come on people, when will we learn not to take it to far!!

It might well be true Willie.....but the Sun is well know for it's trashy sensationalism.........i'd wait for the Coroners report

[TimothyBFan]

TG--I'm not familiar with the Star but that's what I'm reading on FB from some of my European friends. The one that actually posted it warned to take it with a grain of salt because they are notorious for not telling the truth.

[Glennsallnighter]

Well whatever the cause its a very sad occasion. Of course Gary Moore (And Thin Lizzy) have been a wellknown and very popular band here since the late 70's. May he rest in Peace.

My favourite 'Lizzy' track is 'Old Town' but I also love 'Parisienne Walkways', probably one of Moores most famous songs.

[AzEaglesFan]

This is so sad. He was a very talented man. I loved to listen and watch him play.
