Gary Moore Parisienne Walkways Jet To The Best (2014){victor Vicp 75135}

2014 Japanese 17-track remastered audiophile CD album with K2HD coding. One more Japanese compilation by Victor Entertainment with songs from the Jet Records years, but this time you can also find a rare single B-side song in the tracklist, what definitely makes worth to have this new CD release. "Trust Your Lovin'" was originally released on "You" - the second G-Force single - in July 1980, and this is the first time that it is released on CD officially. The other songs are from the Jet albums "G-Force", "Dirty Fingers" and "Live At The Marquee". Fans and collectors already knew this song from the vinyl single or from bootleg compilations, but finally now it is available for everyone who would like to have the 'missing' G-Force recording. Although this quality Japanese import CD is not cheap, but definitely will be a nice addition to your Gary Moore collection.

Although he took a pop-metal detour during the '80s, guitarist Gary Moore was always a blues-rock guitarist at heart. After all, his chief instrument throughout his career has been a Les Paul that once belonged to Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green, and he played on the original version of Thin Lizzy's slow-burning bluesy tour de force "Still in Love With You." By the dawn of the '90s, Moore had grown tired of trying to keep pace with the Def Leppards of the rock world, and returned to his original love. The move paid off immediately for Moore, as 1990's Still Got the Blues was a worldwide hit, and as a result, the guitarist continued with this direction for much of the decade. The 2003 12-track compilation Blues Collection is true to its title, as it includes the cream of this aforementioned rootsy era.

One of rock's most underrated guitarists (both from a technical and compositional point of view), Gary Moore is arguably one of the finest musicians that Britain has ever produced, with a career that dated back to the 1960s, there were few musical genres that Gary Moore had not turned his hand to. From his early beginnings in a local rock group called Skid Row, that featured a young singer by the name of Phil Lynott, Gary has been a resolute guitarist in music industry. His paring with Lynott was rekindled when Phil Lynott went on to form Thin Lizzy. Gary Moore went on to have a successful solo career with eleven UK Top 40 single releases. Here we present 28 tracks of some of his greatest work including Parisienne Walkways (Live), Nuclear Attack, Run To Mama, and Stormy Monday to name a few.

Billy Merziotis, guitarist and singer with many years of live performance experience. He is a composer and lyricist, has released 2 studio albums in rock/blues style and 2 singles in Greek. He is a guitar instructor with 20 years of experience.He considers Gary Moore his biggest influence. Passionately studied Moore's style until I met him personally after one of his concerts in Athens in 2008.Performing Gary's masterpieces, Billy Merziotis conveys the spirit of the great guitarist. Through lifelong devotion, Murano was not only able to achieve a fiery phrase, he was also able to create a tone that would awe the crowd. A true vocal performer, he is closest to Gary.

Power guitarist Gary Moore's Live at Monsters of Rock is a dream come true for every guitar freak out there. Teamed with his trio of Cass Lewis and Darrin Mooney, Moore turns it up to 14 and powers his way through razored, crunching covers of the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things" and Free's "Wishing Well" before delving into his own rather voluminous catalog. Performances of the riff-laden "Rectify," the bluesed-out "Stand Up," and the completely adrenaline-fueled metal of "Out in the Fields" take this over the top. But the final track, a deeply moving version of "Pariesienne Walkways," is a fitting tribute to the tune's original vocalist and former Thin Lizzy bandmate Phil Lynott. There is nothing but pure power here – no restraint, no mixing, no overdubs, nothing but pure Monsters of Rock power. This is the guitar record Moore had been promising his entire career.
