Gary Moore
Gary Moore (born Robert William Gary Moore, 4 April 1952, in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is a Northern Irish guitarist. In a career dating back to the 1960s he has played with bands and artists including Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II, Greg Lake and blues-rock band Skid Row as well as having a successful solo career. Among many cameo appearances over the years, he performed the lead guitar solo on She's My Baby from the album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3.

Moore started performing at a young age, having picked up a battered acoustic guitar at the age of eight, and got his first quality guitar at the age of fourteen, learning to play the right-handed instrument in the standard way despite being left handed. His career has lasted over thirty years.

In 1969 he joined the group Skid Row with Noel Bridgeman and Brendan Brush Shiels. The music was eclectic, covering a wide range including jazz, rock and blues. It was with this group that he earned himself a reputation in the music business, and his association with Philip Lynott began.

In 1973 he released his first solo album Grinding Stone billed as the Gary Moore Band. In 1979 his solo career started again with help from Phil Lynott. The combination of Moore's blues based guitar, and Lynott's voice, produced Parisienne Walkways, which reached the Top Ten in the UK Singles Chart in April 1979; and the Thin Lizzy number 2 hit album, Black Rose: A Rock Legend. His noteworthy and well appreciated efforts in the form of music albums sell like hotcakes. His albums include Skid Row released in (1970), 34 Hours (1971) and the third on was a collaborative outcome of Gary Moore/Brush Shiels/Noel Bridgeman brought out for public claim in (1971). The final album was Released which became a hit in (1990).

After a series of powerful rock records, Moore returned to blues music with Still Got the Blues, with contributions from Albert King, Albert Collins and George Harrison. The album was well received by fans and a huge success. Moore stayed with the blues format until 1997, when he decided to experiment with modern dance beats on Dark Days in Paradise; leaving the fans and the music press befuddled. Back to the Blues, unsurprisingly, saw Gary return to his tried and tested blues format.

He participated in the recording of Greg Lake's two solo albums, Greg Lake (1981) and Manoeuvres (1983). He also played live in Greg Lake's line-up. Some notable performances of his touring stint with Lake, were the live covers of King Crimson songs 21st Century Schizoid Man, In the Court of the Crimson King, as well as Parisienne Walkways.

Moore's 1984 album Dirty Fingers had a song called Nuclear Attack, which he also performed on the Greg Lake album.

Formed in 1994 the group comprised Jack Bruce, Ginger and Gary Moore. The band made one album that received initial praise and then soon vanished into obscurity, but is now regarded as a 'forgotten classic. Formed in 2002 the band issued an eponymous album Scars which was released on September 10, 2002. The band featured Gary Moore (Vocals/Guitar), Cass Lewis (Bass guitar/Backing vocals) and Darrin Mooney of Primal Scream (Drums).

Over the years Gary has used numerous guitars. He appears nowadays to favour Gibson and Fender guitars, through Marshall amplifiers. His choices in effects have remained constant, using an Ibanez TS10 Classic Tubescreamer on many recordings/live shows.
