Rock guitarist Gary Moore dies

 

 

The renowned rock guitarist Gary Moore has died in a hotel room in Spain.

 

Mr Moore, 58, was, originally from Belfast, and was a former member of the legendary Irish group Thin Lizzy.

 

Adam Parsons, who manages Thin Lizzy, told the BBC that Mr Moore had died in the early hours of Sunday morning.

 

Mr Moore was originally drafted into Thin Lizzy by its singer Phil Lynott. He later gained acclaim for his solo work and was a former member of the Irish group Skid Row.

 

The Northern Ireland guitarist was only 16 when he moved from Belfast to Dublin in 1969, to join Skid Row, which featured Lynott as lead vocalist.

 

He was later brought into Thin Lizzy by Lynott to replace the departing Eric Bell, another guitarist from Northern Ireland.

 

Mr Bell told the BBC on Sunday he was still "in shock" at Mr Moore's death.

 

"I still can't believe it," he said.

 

"He was so robust, he wasn't a rock casualty, he was a healthy guy.

 

"He was a superb player and a dedicated musician."

 

Niall Stokes, the editor of the Irish music magazine, Hot Press, described Mr Moore as a "genius".

 

The lead guitarist received critical acclaim for his work on the 1974 Thin Lizzy album, Nightlife, but would never be constrained by the music group format.

 

A year earlier, he had released his first solo album Grinding Stone and his virtuoso playing was to make him a recognised artist in his own right.

 

Although returning to Thin Lizzy briefly in the late 1970s, his solo work cotinued to garner interest and he also enjoyed UK chart success with Lynott, via singles Parisienne Walkways and Out In The Fields.

 

Throughout his career, Gary Moore was to embrace a range of genres including blues, metal and hard rock.

 

He performed on stage with a range of major artists and released 20 studio albums.

R.I.P. ......:(

I don't think we should forget Steve Clarke here as well ......

What fucking win, fantastic result, fantastic effort.

How long left? No stream and l ain't turning the radio on.

Collymore

Paddy Berger ...*edit, scored 2 in his second game.Good enough for me, Paddy was ace.

@luis16suarez

Very happy after the debut dreamed, goal and victory of the team! Anfield and the supporters are magical!

Looks good from what l saw on MOTD.

I weren't arsed that he left until today.

 

I seen him in a Chelsea training kit in the Daily Mirror and felt physically sick.

..read it again, great remedy.

Good news at last. Mind you if the defence try to stop him he can just chew his way through them, that's some set of knashers he's got.

From Wiki

In November 2010, Ajax suspended Suárez for two league matches after he bit PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal on the shoulder during their 0–0 draw on 20 November 2010. He was also fined an undisclosed amount which the club said they would donate to a "good cause". The Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf branded Suarez the “Cannibal of Ajax”. The KNVB penalized Suárez with a suspension for seven league matches

Chelsea probably knew we were close to signing Suarez, they just want to spoil the party.

Before we all lynch Nando, all I'll say is we should take with a massive pinch of salt what SSN, Talksport and the London media sources are saying.

 

I'm not naive and I don't for one second disbelieve that his head has been turned over the past year or so, and with good reason given the state of us. I also don't buy the idea that he had no intention of leaving last summer either. But this bid looks to me like a massive piece of opportunism and shit stirring by them lot. If they where serious about getting him they'd have made the move in early Jan. Even if Nando gets down on his knees and begs the club there's fuck all chance we'd sell him in January with 3 days to go. It would be suicide.

 

Chelsea have just lost out in their long pursuit of David Luiz. They are slipping in the league with an ageing squad and the fans are getting on the club's back. This bid looks like a handy bit of PR on their part, because even they must know that they really have fuck all chance of getting him now. They may well be sowing their seeds and turning his head for a proper bid in the summer, but I'd take little notice of the shite coming out of Sky at the moment as it's probably coming straight from Chelsea. He won't be going any where, yet.

Good post and l agree, "wants to believe"... with all of this.

Was that the game when Dalglish went off with a bust jaw ? As he was being subbed he made some hand gesture to the UTD fans.

 

That train scene reminded me of a time we were on the ordinary to OT. As the train passed OT someone pulled the emergency cord and when the train stopped' date=' everyone got off the train which had stopped beyond the station. We all made our way to the ground by walking along the tracks. What was shown in that vid was child's play compared to some of the stuff that went on back then.[/quote']

 

I remember an incident similar to that, probably not the same incident as someone has said cord pulling was a regular occurrence back then, it wasn't around 83,84,85 ish was it?

Anyway we had been for a few bevvies in manc city centre and we jumped on a train at Oxford road to OT. We got near the ground and the train had to slow right down because there were all these lads all over the tracks, no colours on.

Next thing bricks started raining in from all angles. We were stood up and my mate was stood next to the door, this brick came in and l swear it was about the size of a kerbstone, luckily it hit just below the glass.

Our train eventually made it to the station, but yeah ......mad.

Andy Gray says United are defending like a bunch of girls.

I hope this scoreline sticks, a manc mate of mine sent me a text the other week about the RSPCA investigating 11 donkeys being slaughtered in Blackpool :( ....fingers crossed.

Derby away in the 1975/76 season was far worse. Went on for over an hour with running battles from the Baseball ground to at least two miles away.

I've heard people talk about that one although l didn't start going to Anfield till 77. Spurs away in the cup was also a bit rough, can't remember the year, maybe early eighties. lt was the game where Terry Mac scored with that half volley.

l was also at that game, didn't see any trouble because l was stood on the kop and then went straight in the pub after. When l arrived at Lime Street before the game there were gangs of lads milling around, you could just sense something as you always could when we played the mancs.

Also the fa cup semi at woodison and the reply at maine road in 85, the most trouble l've ever seen.

not my work

Its that age old Shankly quote isn't it

“Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.”

We need players who can do this ....hopefully Kenny or whoever will bring them in.

What happened between Johnson and Merson I missed it?

l think Merson questioned Johnsons commitment and attitude and Johnson answered back via twitter using the words alcholic drug abuser in his reply .......or something.

Came in here to listen to this.....

....but if you do need a shoulder to cry on ....

Dissapointed at the result, we could have probably got something from the game if we hadn't have been reduced to ten men.

But thankfully we now have the new owners and the new manager we craved ......onwards and upwards.

l think for the limited time he's been here and playing in a side lacking in confidence he's done ok.

C'mon Redmen ........full of hope again.

Stevenage player getting a dig from his own fan after the game. Brilliant.

:lol:

Sky have revolutionised the way football is shown in this part of the world. Before them, stadiums were in most cases, dumps, there were a handful of live games per year, a half-hearted irregular poorly-timed highlights show, and no 24h rolling sports news coverage, hardly any magazine shows or documentaries.

I remember those days ......it was fucking ace.
