Gary Moore

[cancel2 2022]

I went to see Gary Moore last night in Sheffield, the man is a living legend but according to Wikipedia he is not well known in the US, surely that cannot be true?

Gary Moore has remained relatively unknown in the US, although his work has "brought substantial acclaim and commercial success in most other parts of the world - especially in Europe".[2] Moore has throughout his career been recognised as an influence to many guitarists such as Randy Rhoads, John Sykes and Kirk Hammett.[3]

As it would appear that he is not well known, in the US, judging by the lack of responses, here is an example of the man in action.

I am actually amazed that he is not more well known, does that also apply to Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott?

No, and he's not related to Demi Moore aka Gimme Moore either.

I definitely know of Thin Lizzy. "The Boys are Back in Town" is the anthem for our baseball team, and probably many others also.

I'm not familiar with him but am guessing the country's music cognoscenti are.

I have seen most of the guitar greats in my time, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend, Gerry Garcia, Richie Blackmore, BB King to name a few and Gary is definitely up there with them. His playing is very emotional, full of great vibrato and beautiful melodies - just amazing!
