    	I wish I could remember that hit he had on his first album... It
    had a wicked cool hook and I liked his playing alot.. I may need to run
    up to the record connection this weekend and check it out!

    
    	Could it have been - "Oh, Pretty Woman" with Mr Albert King?

    re:Steve
    
    Was it 'Parisian Walkway ?'

    	Thanks, Tony, dunno, but I'll look for a tape with that one on
    it!

Hi there !

Maybe it was Empty Rooms ?? Most likely !

If anyone is intersted, in the German Guitar&Bass there was a transcription of
"Still Got the Blues".

    re: Richard
    
    I'm very interested in the Gary Moore transcription. Any chance of 
    a photo copy ?
    
    Cheers,
    -Tony (awaiting with baited breath)

    I'll second that....!
    
    

...maybe I shouldn't have said that........    ;-)

Send me mail with your mail destination, I already made one spare copy when I
copied it for a friend, which is now waiting im my desk......

Or I could try to get it scanned in and send it as DDIF, so you can just print
it on a laser. Maybe even better (and faster). Let me check how the quality
would be.

And, don't be surprised when you see some explanations in German, but lead
sheet and notes should be usable for you anyway. Please note B is written down
as H, your Bb is B in our notation.

	best regards

    Thanks !!

    Oh Pretty Woman ... yawn ... hasn't this all been done 200 million
    times already? Sticking in the Albert King solo after Moore's 
    mega-overdrive Les Paul-through-a-Marshall solo makes it seem
    like something they just stuck in there to make an 'authentic'
    blues song. Obviously Moore can play way more notes and way
    louder than Albert. So what. More inane 'rock guitarist pretending
    to play blues music'.

I like it!  Especially "Still Got the Blues"  Nice production...

Didn't this guy play with "Thin Lizzy" back when they were goin pretty
good... Well at anyrate, before {Geesh, can't remember his name--- Bass 
player/Lead Vocal.. Tuff to get old memory- goes first,,} died...  

Maybe I'm losin it,, but I thought that's where he came from...

Anyhow, yea,  I happen to like it,, lots...  (Even if it has been done
before...  )

    
    
    	Re-1. He did play with Thin Lizzy, I think the name your
    	looking for is Phil Lynott. In October's issue of Guitar
    	Playing they have an article about Gary Moore.
    
    
    	Dave.

<<I think the name your looking for is Phil Lynott. 


Thank you!  I wouldn't have remembered that for the life of me.
Pretty bad too cuz we used to cover a lot of Thin Lizzy tunes
back in the late 70s early 80s.

it's been about 4 years since I've even looked an issue of GP..

Maybe I'll grab it and see what they gotta say about G.M.

    
    	I like it too.  Not at first, but it has grown on me.  I think
    Moore has a real admiration for King, despite how some may feel his
    playing does not compliment it.  Thin Lizzy was cool too.  Did they 
    do "Southbound"?
    
    -pat

    
    When "Still Got The Blues" was recorded, it was intended as a "B" side
    for another single. He recorded it fairly quickly as it was initially meant
    to be a "filler". After he heard it back a few times, he went
    "apesheite" over it. For everyone at the studio it was the best track
    on his LP. 
    
    smitho

    
    
    I heard "Still Got The Blues" while driving home last night.   So what
    if I thought his bends sounded as good as those of Jeff Healy.  So what
    if he has incredible chops and finesse.  So what if he made that V
    absolutely cry.  So what if he gets a wonderful bell-like tone on notes
    up around the 24th fret. 

    He's just one more rock guitarist playing blues licks with lots of gain.

    And playing them WELL !!!  I think he's using Les Paul's these days. 
    He also endorses a LP-looking guitar, can't remember who makes it tho'.
    
    Scary

Nope it's a heritage, made by gibson defectors....it's is to gibson what sun
is to dec

dbii

>>Nope it's a heritage, made by gibson defectors....it's is to gibson what sun
>>is to dec
    
    I'm sure that there are folks in Kalamazoo who feel that Gibson was the
    "defector."   Heritage was started by long-time Gibson custom shop
    employees who chose not to move when Gibson abandoned its Kalamazoo
    headquarters and moved to Nashville.  
    
    Jim

    He pins his marshall oooaalll the way up and sets his delay so cool.
    Gary is the last of the pioneer guitar players...A must for your
    collections is "Wild Frontier". This album has an instrumental called
    "The Loner". Yoo must here it..He's lead work on it will blow you
    away...

    >>You must here it..His lead work on it will blow you
    >>away...
    
    He blows me away, anyway.  Is "Moore Better Blues" the name of his new
    album?
    
    
    
    
    

    >Is "Moore Better Blues" the name of his new album?
    
    No -- methinks it's a play on words (eg -- Mo Better Blues)

Does anyone else listen to Gary Moore ? IMHO I thinkk he has got to be one of the
best Blues guitarist around today. I especially like the "Still Got The Blues"
CD and the Video of that performance as well.

B.

    I think he is super......my fav is "Oh Pretty Woman".  I call his blues
    style "powerful"..kinda like Jeff Healey...he's wide f'in open
    much of the time.  Great tone......Les Paul?
    
    Steve

    Saw him in London a few months ago - superb !
    
    plays a Les Paul through a Soldano head and a single 4*12 cab, miked
    through the PA.
    
    I was so captivated during one song, that at the end I was snapped out
    of my trance by the audience applause -  a very strange feeling.
    
    Pete

    I liked Gary Moore much better in the days when he ripped a Charvel
    through a wall of Marshalls.  To each his own...

    personally I agree with Buck,I thought he stood out amongst rock
    guitarists and was very good but I like his blues stuff too!
    I saw him on the first tour he did to promote his first blues album
    and was impressed.The bad point was I don't think anyone near me
    enjoyed it as my farts were absolutely rancid that night and I p!ssed
    off a lot of people.That's what happens when you eat lots o' veggies!

    As long as you didn't stink bomb Gary Moore; *that* would have been

    Re: Gary the rocker
    
    In a recent interview, Moore stressed that his initial inspiration was
    Peter Green (pretty much forgotten by many folks these days, he took
    Fleetwood Mac to #1..the only blues act in the UK to achieve that). 
    While he enjoyed doing the rock stuff overall, he felt the blues/rock
    thing was more "natural" for him.  Back to his roots, etc.  
    
    He also mentioned he never expected "Still Got The Blues" to actually
    sell better than his metal efforts, so that kind of prodded him into
    continuing in that vein.
    
    Anybody seen "Over The Top" recently?  It was a Cozy Powell LP which
    had Gary and Jack Bruce (!!!!) blasting away.  I don't think it ever
    saw US release.  Wouldn't mind having a copy...
    
    							Brian

    
    What album before he go to blues stuff has the most killer guitar in
    it?
    
    like to crank the value up.
     
                           
    

    >What album before he go to blues stuff has the most killer guitar in
    >it?
    
    I like _Corridors of Power_, but the follow-up album has some killer
    guitar in it.

    Thanks!!

    
    
    I saw Gary Moore up the Hammy Odeon a while back & was really
    dissapointed.  He was so clich'ed it was untrue, holding a bent note 
    with pained expression for half the gig.  I really did not like it
    because he's my rock hero, not my blues hero.  I guess he's found an
    easy way to make a quick buck (dollar that is, not our mutial
    friend:-)).

    <.1>yeah that's my feeling; technically excellent but cliched. Nice
    tone tho'
    
    c, martin

    
    	New CD out, Blues Alive (I think).  It has "Still Got the Blues"
    	among others.  Anyone have it?  Looks like my $3.00 coupon for
    	Newbury Comics will get used...
    
    	Tom Less
    

    
    
    I just got the Blues Alive CD on sale at Lechmere.  As usual, great
    tone and great playing!  I just wish the guy would show some restraint
    once in a while!  He shows what he's got in every song, so by the last
    cut I felt that I'd heard it all before.  He could use a rev-limiter.
    8-)
    
    "Still Got the Blues" is magical.....
    
    Kevin
     

    
    Oh yeah, there are times when this could easily be a Jeff Healy
    CD...similar riffs and style.  That's not a bad thing in *my* book!
    
    Kevin
    

    
    	Thanks, Kevin - I'm buying it!  I can honestly see where some
    	folks don't like him for all those white-boy blues reasons,
    	among others.  But he just takes me back to when I was 16 and
    	first heard Johnny Winter (Be Careful with a Fool).  He just
    	hits me in the gut, big time. 
    
    	I'll temper that CD with my new George Van Epps... ;^)
    
    	Tom
    

    I heard a cut last week, long instrumental (Parisian Avenue?).
    Funny thing, before they said who it was I was convinced it was
    Santana.  Anyone else hear a Carlos connection in some of his
    playing?
    
    /rick

    
    Parissiene Walkways is the track and it was released some years ago
    possibly when he was part of Thin Lizzie.
    
    What is this 'Blues Alive' CD? I have 'Still Got The Blues' and the
    subsequent 'clone' release 'After Hours' which came out a year ago. Is
    this a 'live' recording?
    
    Richard

    
    Yes, it's live tracks......

       ..I just picked up BLUES ALIVE! last night. I'll get a chance
    to listen to it this weekend.

Subject: baker/bruce teamed up again...
From: [email protected] (John Vanderpool)

	     !!! NEW EXCITING SUPER GROUP IS FORMED !!!

	- Ginger BAKER, Jack BRUCE and Gary MOORE forms BBM -

Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker of Cream fame has formed a new exciting band
together with the well-known guitarist Gary Moore (ex Thin Lizzy, ex G-
force, ex Collosseum II) who recently has done a couple of blues albums.
They call themself simply BBM (Baker, Bruce & Moore). An album will be out
in June according to a press release. Also a tour throughout Europe during
the summer is being planned (see the initial dates below). They will mix
in songs from Moore's past as well as some Cream song with the new material
at their shows.

Here is the initial itinerary for BBM's first tour:

	May 16   Muziekcentrum, Utrecht, Netherlands
	May 18   Terminal One, Munich, Germany
	May 22   Ulster Hall, Belfast, N. Ireland
	May 23   Barrowlands, Glasgow, Scotland
	May 31   Falkoner Theatre, Copenhagen, Denmark

	June  1  Cirkus, Stockholm, Sweden
	June  5  Brixton Academy, London, UK
	June  6  Le Zenith, Paris, France

	July 22 Romsdalsmuseet, Molde (Int. Jazz Festival), Norway

    Baker, Bruce, and Moore?  I think I could really like this!
    
    A CD in June?  Add to my birthday list, indeed!

    Moore and Bruce have worked together in the past, notably on Cozy
    Powell's "Over The Top" album.  Maybe this will last longer then some
    past JB projects.  I just hope he and Ginger can keep the hatchet
    buried long enough to get through the tour.
    
    							Brian

    I dunno, I still think it *could* be good, mostly because Moore has
    some fusion chops which would fit in well with the jazz backgrounds of
    his bandmates.  
    
    However, Bruce has a history of recording great albums and then going
    on tour doing nothing but the Cream songbook (witness his last tour,
    where he did nothing at all from his new album and only a few tunes
    from *any* of his solo releases, but plenty of Cream stuff).  Can't say
    I blame him for going for the obvious crowd-pleasers.  After all, he
    probably makes more from Cream royalties in one month than he does from
    all his other recordings in a year.  
    
    For that matter, the one time I saw Ginger he also was doing a Creamy
    power trio rather than performing the African-influenced instrumentals
    he's been recording since the Air Force days.
    
    In any case, I think Moore is a good match musically but whether it
    turns out to be as turgid as the trios with Leslie West and Robin
    Trower remains to be seen.
    
    						Brian

    I'll take the Creamy power trio stuff, thank you..........
    
    8)

    Sounds like the Ricky Nelson syndrome.  When he got on stage and
    tried to do anything but his old hits, he got the cold shoulder
    from the crowd.

    Right, I was going to say the same thing.  He may not have much choice
    in the matter; people want to hear the Cream stuff.
    
    I remember when I saw Jack Bruce with Kip Hanrahan's band; this
    incredible jazz/rock/latin/avante fusion and the only time the
    crowd erupted was for the obligatory "Sunshine of Your Love"
    encore.
    

    	I'm kind of happy about BBM, if only for Gary Moore's sake.... I've
    been a fan of Gary's for a long time and I don't think he gets the
    credit he deserves. He was lumped in with alot of the "flashy guitar
    types" during the 80's, and didn't get much attention until he recorded
    his first blues album. His blues albums are good, but not really what 
    Gary does best. My favorites are the "Run For Cover" and "Wild Frontier"
    albums. 

    	I'm hoping that this trio allows for more eclectic playing...
    certainly the talent is there, and judging by the types of albums
    all 3 of these players have put out, it's certainly within the realm
    of possibility they might end up with a pretty adventurous album.
    Of course, the easy way out would be typical, generic "power trio"
    music, but let's hope for the best...
    
    
    Brad
    

    I am a HUGE fan of Gary's !!!!  He is perhaps my biggest hero....
    
    I like his blues stuff, but I gotta admit I like his Celtic-Rock stuff
    MUCH better.
    
    I think his " Wild Frontier "  album is one of his best.
    
    " Still Got The Blues "  is very good...but, I still prefer to hear him
    throw that Irish influence into his playing...( like in his earlier
    days ).
                              *** Kathy ***

    
    
    I've saw Gary twice,once was "after the war" tour and then "still got
    the blues".Both were very good.

    Cool seeing your name in this conference !!! ;-)
    
    Had NO idea you liked  Gary Moore..... Geez....I learn something new

    yup,I've liked Gary since his days with Thin Lizzy.Very under-rated
    guitar player.
