Somebody please tell me Pawsome54 is not really Smiley B.
Smiley Bolger doesn't like Gary Moore, so why would he want to put on a tribute concert for him? I know this because my band played the Vibe for Philo 2009 and Smiley was messin slaggin the lead guitarist of my band saying he was doing too much of "that Gary Moore stuff" (he meant all that really fast shreddy blues playing that Gary used to always do).
So no, I'm not Smiley Bolger, my name is Paul and I'm just a really big Gary Moore fan who wants to help him be remembered and appreciated to the incredible extent that he deserves.0 -

Oh and I'm sorry if this is a bit off-topic but I'm really sickened that even though his death has had minimal media coverage, the sun "newspaper" still managed to make his death into a tacky tabloid story stating that he died after a "boozy holiday" with his girlfriend that was in her 30's, they said they were drinking champagne and brandy and was found in their hotel room "in only his underpants" after choking on his own vomit
they went on to comment on lizzies drink and drug filled lifestyle and added that his former bandmate (philo) died of a heroin OD
I mean they're just portraying this image of an old washed up rock star with his bit of skirt on a drink and drug fuelled holiday
pure thrash and it's actually pretty upsetting when he so didn't live up to that stereotype at all.
F*cking tabloid thrash:mad:0 -

the guy was a serial output merchant with lizzy, at least one quality album every year he loved his music, and he continued til the day he died. but the Sun doesn't say thathere's a link to the article

GUITAR ace Gary Moore died on holiday yesterday - choking on his vomit after knocking back champagne and brandy.

I felt the same as you guys when I read the "article" via the Classic Rock magazine website. I was going to comment on it here but decided against it for a number of reasons. The first being I did not want to drag the thread off topic and turn it into a vendetta against a rag newspaper. The second being having read the heartfelt messages people have left on here I did not want to tarnish those messages by associating them with the gutter press like the sun. I think as fans and people respective of Gary Moore's music we should not even acknowledge their treatment of OUR musical hero. We should instead rise above it and continue to share stories of our personal experiences of Gary. Lets fill this thread with memories, personal encounters and our favourite songs of the legend that is Gary Moore.0 -

i read he actually dropped in/out of lizzy intermittently so i'll be having one of those
fairly tumultuous group with regards to guitarists. but i see his output under his name alone was a lot, loved his electrified blues enough to be renowned as one of the few absolute best n even if its claimed he fell victim to any Rock n roll clichés, well for me that's wrong because he was one of the originals we are supposed to learn those lessons from. from him, it'd be an honour.
so let the man be if he did like his booze and his blues, he will have found himself alone in a hotel room often when on tour, i suspect, often, random locations probably with the blues, craving a drink that's old school. just like my dad, alone/blues/booze but booze f'd him up. he went to school with phil. future father figure types will probably die of their crack cocaine woes clutching their precious mc equipment or maybe from past mdma glories clutching a Technics turntable, n a glowstick maybe - but an old-school father figure for me, i know enough of em and they will not make many like this from here-on in so to whoever his lifestyle offended, at-ease.
RIP Gary - had a good time and orchestrated a fair few, you can't deny it. and have left somewhat of a legacy.0 -
