Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues (Live) | REACTION

[@armadillotoe]

Gary Moore was one of the greatest guitar players ever. His vocals were also damn good. That boys and girls is what a Les Paul is supposed to sound like.

[@thomascunningham2919]

armadillotoe if that’s the “Greeny” Les Paul, then it’s actually not what a Les Paul is suppose to sound because the wiring of one pickup was reversed when repaired, and kept in place once the original owner (Peter Green) realized how great it sounded. That thing is worth millions now, and owned by Kirk Hammett.

[@hozzer68]

Thomas Cunningham it only has the out of phase sound when in the middle position, Gary very rarely used in that position, the neck and bridge pickups are unaffected when played on their own, so yes that is what a LP is supposed to sound like. The middle position was not used in this video.

So very much underrated.

[@ericanderson9012]

True - a terrific example of technical mastery resulting in the ability of conveying emotion. Ironic in a way by virtue of being able to enjoy the emotion of the tune without constantly having to appreciate the virtuosity. Is transcendent too much of a compliment?

An honest reaction over the air, gotta love it. Could I ask what city this was? This song I hear for my wife, who I lost Mar 23rd. It always pulls up emotional pain and joy at the same time. Pain from losing her way to soon, joy from sharing life and music. She was a member of opera chorus for 16 seasons, she and I loved every minute.

You're totally right! How could this get 9000 dislikes?! Gary Moore was one of the most talented guitarists ever. First heard him with Thin Lizzy. I didn't know how well he sang until his first solo album. Blown away! Thanks for doing this!

[@steveholmes3842]

As a massive Thin Lizzy fan, I absolutely loved Garys work. When he went solo and started really showing the world how good he really was, a true legend of pure guitar playing. A sorely missed legend.

[@acfiv1421]

Gary Moore is one of the most under-rated guitarists ever. He learned his craft the old-fashioned way, playing bars and clubs for a decade before he started hitting it big in the late 70s. Extremely versitile, he played blues, rock, heavy metal, jazz-fusion, grunge, even techno-dance. He played different guitars for completely different voicings - Gary on a Strat sounded nothing like what he did on a Les Paul, which sounded nothing like what he did on a Charvel, etc. He was Ozzy Osbourne's first choice of guitarist for Blizzard Of Ozz, and helped Ozzy find Randy Rhoads instead because he wanted to focus on his own solo career. And to top it all off - Gary Moore was left-handed, but learned to play righty - all that amazing guitar playing was basically him playing backwards. Sorely missed, RIP.

[@maartenvanduin7423]

He also used to play in John Mayalls bleusbreakers right? Man, seen him live once here in Netherlands and that was with Joe Bonamassa the best blues show. Amazing stuff.....
