Title: No Moore Post by: IainC on February 06, 2011, 03:16:47 PM Gary Moore died this evening (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/06/us-thinlizzy-death-idUSTRE7151UM20110206) whilst on holiday in Spain.
Only 58 years old. Title: Re: No Moore Post by: ghost on February 07, 2011, 08:57:29 AM Quote Moore was just 16 years old when he moved from Belfast to Dublin in 1969 to join Skid Row, which featured Phil Lynott as lead singer. I found this funny. Who knew Skid Row was so old? Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Sand on February 07, 2011, 09:17:58 AM Im confused. I thought Skid Row was an American band?

Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Engels on February 07, 2011, 12:53:15 PM And for the idly curious and trivia collecting, the term 'Skid Row' comes from Seattle's Yesler Way which travels from the top of Capital Hill down to the docks and was used to 'skid' lumber down to the waiting boats.
Some people claim that its origin is from Vancouver BC, but they would be Canadians. Title: Re: No Moore Post by: ghost on February 07, 2011, 12:59:13 PM They're just not the same without Sebastian.

Some people claim that its origin is from Vancouver BC, but they would be Canadians. Oddly, I've never actually heard it referenced specifically to Vancouver. Everyone just refers to "the downtown east side", which is far to large to just be a "row" :oh_i_see: Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Nebu on February 08, 2011, 07:30:38 AM Watched a few live performance dvds of Thin Lizzy last night in his honor. Gary was a very underrated guitarist. Shame he and Phil are gone.
Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Lakov_Sanite on February 08, 2011, 12:05:37 PM Reading the title I though Alan Moore finally snapped and went on a crime fighting spree resulting in his untimely demise.
Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Nebu on February 08, 2011, 12:23:17 PM Reading the title I though Alan Moore finally snapped and went on a crime fighting spree resulting in his untimely demise. My first thought was Roger Moore. I never realized that there would be other Thin Lizzy fans here. Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Sky on February 08, 2011, 12:45:00 PM Thin Lizzy was good, but I'm not a fan of his blues album.
Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Nebu on February 08, 2011, 02:44:58 PM Thin Lizzy was good, but I'm not a fan of his blues album. Me either. To be honest, I'm pretty burned out on the blues. Too many people dabble in the blues that have no business attempting it. Title: Re: No Moore Post by: IainC on February 08, 2011, 03:14:07 PM Thin Lizzy was good, but I'm not a fan of his blues album. I liked that Metallica cover they did.

Want some recommendations?Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Nebu on February 09, 2011, 10:39:54 AM What're your favorites? Want some recommendations? Old school mostly... you know the list: Johnson, King, Waters, Wolf, Hooker, Walker, etc. I've moved to more melodic, listenable music lately. Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Sky on February 09, 2011, 11:36:38 AM I try to keep things mixed up. Right now my truck's 6 cd changer is running (iirc): Cantiga, Count Basie, Son House, King Curtis, Derek Trucks Band, Grateful Dead (had an urge to hear "Ripple" last night).
Title: Re: No Moore Post by: ghost on February 09, 2011, 11:44:55 AM I love that someone else likes Count Basie. You don't run into that a lot.
Title: Re: No Moore Post by: Sky on February 09, 2011, 12:18:16 PM I blew my buddy's mind when I was playing GTA4 while he was over and I turned to him and said (along with Basie) "One more time!" during April in Paris. The Dead CD (temporarily, I already got my Ripple fix) replaced Django/Grappelli, another staple in the cd changer.
