Queen Star Remembers Gary Moore

(Gibson) Queen drummer Roger Taylor has contacted Classic Rock magazine to pay tribute to Gary Moore, who died in Spain last weekend.Taylor said: "It was my wife who told me the news. It's terrible: 58 is just too early. In Phil [Lynott]'s case it was tragic, and in Gary's case there should have been a lot more years. "I have great memories of Gary on tour in Thin Lizzy with Queen: always smiling, very cheerful and
too young to die. He'd recently joined Lizzy and he fitted in great: a blindingly fast player, and his thing was these staccato runs, with a bit of jazz in there. Totally different to Brian [May], who's a very fluid player, but musicians usually 'get' other rated musicians, and Brian very much enjoyed his playing. Virtuosity is something we really don't have now: there are lots of great bands, but the emphasis just isn't on that anymore. In those days, it was all about how great you were; there were so many virtuosos and he was definitely one of them. He was a star player." more on this story
