GARY MOORE “Still Got The Blues” REACTION! First Time Hearing!

[@iargaCI]

The thing about Gary Moore is that he had more heart than the metal players and more technique than the blues players and that's what made him so blisteringly soulful.

[@josevi5835]

Best description of Gary I have ever heard.

[@The.Magnificent.one.2025]

​@@josevi5835 Is it really?

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Gary is why I took the direction of a Jazz Fusion player, mixed with a little bit of Blues.

[@maxconte9186]

Totally right couldn't say it better😊

[@jcj6746]

He was a excellent guitarist in Thin Lizzy as well as his solo stuff. R.I.P Gary Moore

[@stephensmith4480]

@nightbot1788 Have an early night pal, you deserve it.

[@shaynewest8757]

He only played on one Lizzy album.

[@moorewilliam4193]

​@@shaynewest8757Gary played lives a lot for Lizzy mate. not only Black Rose

[@taylorsimmons4280]

HOW ARE you not Mentioning Gary Moore in Skid Row

[@shaynewest8757]

I know I wrote he only plaed on one album, I saw Lizzy live in 77 with Gary replacing Robbo so I definetely dont need a history lesson by you​@moorewilliam4193

[@mightyblues7]

Unbelievable you haven't heard of Gary Moore. Rated one of the best of all time.

[@moorewilliam4193]

[@crazykaletrucker]

best guitarist....EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.i.p. Gary🙏🙏

[@boogaloobaloo]

You have positively got to see Gary perform Parisienne Walkways live at Montreux. Possibly the greatest guitar solo I've ever seen.

[@raydotzler9117]

Absolutely 🤘🤘

[@jankro1]

Or messiah comes again from Montreux

[@iansimmons735]

The Messiah will Come Again, from Montreux. Absolutely EXTRAORDINARY. You have to lie down in a quiet darkened room after hearing it.

[@lazocar1014]

Definitely Messiah song is probably his best art piece, but I wouldn't exclude The Looner.

[@Metzwerg74]

i can´t understand, that someone who likes playing guitar, never heard of Gary Moore...... He could make you feel his guitar with your soul.....

[@llothar68]

He never had a scandal in his life, so maybe thats why is so unknown. I know lots of friends never heared of him either. But at least in every serious Top20 of worlds best guitar players he is on the list.

Gary doesn't play the guitar, he plays electricity hooked up to his heart

[@markferrett700]

The word genius is banded around far too easily, but in Gary Moore we really did have genius.....I had the privilege of seeing him live a few times with "Lizzy",....solo and with his band G force......everytime he was absolutely amazing.....note perfect.....genius.

[@Isleofskye]

Well said Mark.

Never saw him live, or Thin Lizzy. I regret that now.

Every song Gary Moore performs is played as if it is the last song he will ever play in his life...R.I.P brother.

[@tolun99]

Gary's guitar wept it's eyes out. One of my top 3 favorite players. There are many with extreme skills, but Gary had a way to make it emotional. RIP Gary.

[@JeromeDukes]

There aren't many that can play with the soul of Gary Moore. He's top 3 greatest guitar players I've ever heard.

R.I.P Gary Moore - This Irish boy was one of the greatest guitar players of all time. This song makes me cry every time as it was one of my cousin's favourite tracks. When he died all to early (44 years old) his daughter sang this acapella with only an acoustic guitar in the church - No eyes left dry at that point.

[@kingstumble]

He was 58 when he died but I agree about his guitar playing.

[@thorfinsky1427]

Without doubt one of the greatest guitarists of all time,sadly missed

[@pettyguy64]

My first time to you're channel. Wow, what a doll..

[@TheLoner73]

Yes, this is one of his many Gibson Les Paul, you know your stuff, 😂 And he was for about 35 years in possession of a very very special Les Paul called “Greeny”, a 1959 Les Paul Standard, which had a very unique sound. If you wanna see both in action and confirm that then check out “The Messiah will come again”, live in Montreaux 1990. An absolute masterpiece!

[@piwaka50]

Yes his best ever song IMHO... RIP Gary

[@andersjohansson4734]

Maybe it's also worth to mention that Greeny got it's name from it's previous owner Peter Green. Another guitarist worth a mention.

[@TheLoner73]

@@andersjohansson4734 of course it is, and he is. I assumed it was common knowledge, but it’s probably not

[@andersjohansson4734]

@@TheLoner73These reaction kids need all the help they can get. If Gary Moore is unchartered territory I guess Peter Green is on another planet.

[@TheLoner73]

@@andersjohansson4734 yes, I believe you’re right. Most of these reactors, although not all THAT young, probably don’t even know who Peter Greene is, particularly the fact that he is one of the founding fathers of Fleetwood Mac, so yes. Greeny is the guitar that Peter Greene sold Gary Moore for about 50 bucks when Gary was about 16 and he generously named the guitar after one of his biggest influences and even made a tribute album with it in 1995 called “Blues for Greeny”

[@MarkWiggins-u8v]

He makes the guitar cry, simply brilliant.

[@toddnoom626]

Before he started doing Blues he was already a Rock God on Guitar!

[@vinniedixon1140]

Gary Moore is one of the guitar greats. When it comes to the singing the blues and playing the blues on guitar you really have to react to B.B. King.

[@Garbox80]

An underrated singer too I'd say. Most just think of his guitar skills, but man was a solid vocalist too

[@HEAVYMETALmovie1981]

Gary Moore was one of the greatest guitar players I have seen. I was still in school in the earlier 2000's and a friend of mine introduced me to this guy from the video VHS of the wild frontier concert. All I gotta say is, WOW. 🤘

[@NZLatic]

The fast notes are impressive and Gary really knew how to contrast the slow with the quick. But it’s those high bends where Gary really excels. To play a les Paul right at the top of the neck with that control and clarity requires fingers of steel! The man was oozed the blues and he is one out of the box, never to be repeated. RIP Gary Moore!

[@vyvyanharris149]

Gary Moore RIP, Possibly the best minor key Blues player ever, AND that guitar was given to him by Peter Green, so it has a very special sound as the pick ups are out of faze. This tune is perhaps one of my favourites too.

[@MrKveite1]

The pick up is upside down and that's why it is out of faze. it's now owned by kirk Hammet.

[@RushfanUK]

I saw Gary live a number of times, he was talented beyond belief, one of the greatest guitarists in the world, RIP Gary.

[@terry412]

Another clip you have to check out: Gary Moore joining George Harrison from the mid-90s doing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". This was one of George's last public performances (perhaps his last), & you can tell that he really enjoyed being on-stage with Gary. GH was generally not very animated while playing live, but his face was filled with child-like joy watching Gary do one of the guitar solos.

[@jameslynch1724]

THIS!… 100%

[@pronemanoldbutyoung5548]

This guitar solo is so beautiful I cannot comprehend how anything can sound so incredible and this must be sound of heaven.

[@mwjsbleakwater564]

Saw him lots of times live. Always gave 100 pst and then some. No one will ever play with more fire, emotion and feeling than Gary Moore. He is/was a big name everywhere but the US. Especially in Europe. But among american musicans, he is well known. Big inspiration for people like Joe Bonamassa and Kirk Hammett from Metallica even owns Garys 1959 Les Paul. Go with Empty Rooms live from Stockholm in 1987. Fantastic performance.

[@Isleofskye]

I envy you and I,bitterly,regret not seeing Gary in London back in the day but I just not aware of him,I'm afraid.

[@RedDawnRocker]

Empty Rooms may just be even more emotional than Still Got the Blues. Good Choice, it's definitely a truly beautiful song. Too many true legends go unnoticed and forgotten ... Gary, Glen Hughes, Mark Lanegan, David Byron, Tommy Bolin. I'm truly surprised how many people have just began discovering Yes, Genesis and The Moody Blues. I'd always thought talent like that would never go unnoticed, it seems I was wrong.

[@andreoosthuizen2634]

This comment may be a bit late but Gary Moore was an insane guitarist. And yes. It was a Gibson Les Paul with humbuckers. His absolute favourite and signature guitar. Some nasty people blamed him for only being able to play rock and roll. And he gave them this! His vocals were in the pocket. RIP man. You were just awesome!

Gary Moore's song Empty rooms was something that inspired me to play along with others like Lynch ,DiMartini, Schon but for the soulful blues, bends and vibrato, hus phrasing over sad lyrics. Still got the blues, Empty rooms, One day and others. Gary touched so many guitarists.

[@TheHitmann069]

Last time I saw Gary live was 2001 Sheffield City Hall. Simon McBride opened and he's now playing with Deep Purple. Gary absolutely tore the roof off the venue with his searing tone and gave me tinnitus for days after. One of my favourite guitarists and influences in my own playing over the last 42 years. R. I. P Gary. ❤🎸

Gary was one of the best and was born in Belfast Northern Ireland and left us all too early.

[@jimmywalker4884]

A little rock guitar history for you. The Greeny is a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, named after its first famous owner, Peter Green in 1964/5. He used it during his time in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and Fleetwood Mac, before selling it to Gary Moore in the early 1970s. Moore used the guitar throughout his career, both as a solo artist and in bands, such as Thin Lizzy. Due to financial troubles, he was forced to sell it in 2006, after which it passed through several private collectors and guitar dealers. In 2014, Greeny was acquired by Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, who has since used it both in the studio and during live performances.

[@robertphelps1574]

But he wasn’t using Greenie in this performance but his other Les Paul called Stripe

[@thelolguy007]

Gary was one of the very best. And of course from the island of Ireland 🇮🇪💚 Was fortunate to see him live and he would literally blow you away - the guy was a force If you fancy doing some more Gary ‘Parisienne Walkways’ is another classic. And one of my favourites is when he did ‘Red House’ live at the Fender anniversary concert to honour Jimi. I consider it one of the best EVER live performances. It is OFF THE CHART 🙌🎸

[@xdavidgoliathx5890]

Sky I've got a couple of Gary Moore performances that feature his guitar wizardry, probably even more so than "Still Got The Blues" Gary Moore - "Red House" - HD R.I.P gary moore , best guitar solo ever probably

I should have trusted you but after 4 early pauses,I was worried that you were going to interrupt the main solo that I knew was coming:) PARISIENNE WALKWAYS: Gary Moore: LIVE@ MONTREUX is another that you MUST react to and it is a little surprise in it but fear not as all will be revealed in his magical performance.

RIP Gary Moore. GREAT Guitarist, GREAT singer - all genres!! He could rock as hard as any rocker, but he also had the blue chops to play with some of the greatest blues musicians ever. Hard to believe never heard of Gary More. He was very good friends with Phil Lynott, and would fill and would fill in whenever Thin Lizzy needed a guitarist. Check out Thin Lizzy's studio version of "Still in Love with You". Gary Moore did the guitar work for that song. Gary Moore also collaborated with Phil Lynott for the rock hit "Out in the Fields" If you like Irish folk music, Gary Moore collaborated with the Chieftains on "Over the Fields and Far Away" Basically, you just opened a rabbit hole, for which you can spend the next year just reacting to Gary Moore. Arguably one of the top 2-3 guitarists of all time.

What people forget often is that he was a great singer also. Not just someone that, oh well, he tries to sing, but really a great singer. Had chance to see him twice back in the 80's in Sweden. Once on that tour with Neil Carter on keys and Bob Daisly on bass, and also one gig at football stadium in Stockholm where he played special guest, opening act to Queen.
