Youth and its beginning in music
He was born in the city of Belfast in Northern Ireland, as one of the five children of Bobby and Winnie Moore. When he was only 10 years old, his father gave him a used Framus acoustic guitar, but it was not until he was 14 that he got his first electric guitar, a Rosetti model Lucky Squire, which according to him was very bad and even broke the back while playing.
In 1968, at the age of 16, he left home due to the bad relations between his parents and the political problems in his country, settling in Dublin. In that city and thanks to his talent as a guitarist he joined Skid Row made up of Brendan Shields on bass, Noel Bridgeman on drums and Phil Lynott on vocals.
In 1970 they had the opportunity to open a concert for one of Gary’s influences, Peter Green, former member of Fleetwood Mac, who helped them sign a contract with the CBS Records label and who, in addition to this, sold him one of his Gibson guitars. Les Paul 1959, which became the first guitar he bought.

He was then invited to record the lead guitar on the song “Still in Love With You” from the Nightlife album published at the end of the same year.
In 1975, drummer Jon Hiseman of the British band Colosseum summoned him to reform the group, which he called Colosseum II, in which keyboardist Don Airey and bassist Neil Murray also participated, among other musicians.
In mid-1977 and after the departure of guitarist Brian Robertson from Thin Lizzy, Lynnott called him to participate in the tour of the United States opening Queen concerts and then in December 1978, as an active member of the band, he participated in the recordings of the album Black Rose: A Rock Legend published the following year.

Just some months later the live album, Live at the Marquee, was released.
At that time, Gary entered the studios to release the fourth studio album Victims of the Future in late 1983, which contains a cover of Yardbirds’ “Shapes of Things” and the power ballad “Empty Rooms.”
The success it generated in world markets allowed it to play at the largest festivals in several European countries, including Monsters of Rock, and it also arrived in the United States for the first time in mid-1984 with very good results. In that same year, the Jet Records label re-released the album Dirty Fingers for the European market , which had originally only been published in Japan.

According to his girlfriend, with whom he was spending a vacation in that city, they had dinner quietly and then moved to the room without problems. She raised the alarm at 4:00 am, when the hotel service arrived at the room and later the police, who massaged her heart to save it, but unfortunately without success.
According to the Spanish police, his body did not show signs of violence, so no type of investigation would be opened. The autopsy performed on the guitarist’s body revealed that his death was caused by a heart attack. The news of his death was announced by Thin Lizzy’s manager, Adam Parsons.
His remains rest in the cemetery of St. Margaret in Rottingdean in the county of East Sussex in England, whose ceremony only included his family and close friends.
Guitars
He got his first electric guitar at the age of 14 and it was a Rosetti Lucky Squire model. However, the first one he bought with his own means was a used 1959 Gibson Les Paul, which was sold to him by former Fleetwood Mac member Peter Green.
Over the years he used various models of Gibson guitars, such as the Firebird III, Firebird V and the Gibson Flying V. At the same time, he began to use various Fender brand guitars, such as the Stratocaster and the Telecaster.
In the 1980s he began using more varieties of guitars. One of his favorite brands during that time was Ibanez, in its models Roadstar RS1000, Artist AR300, Destroyer DT-330 and DT-380 and the Roadstar II in metallic blue and metallic gray, which can be seen in the promotional videos. of “Empty Rooms” and “Shapes of Thing”, respectively.
Throughout his extensive career he has used dozens of these instruments such as the Jerry Jones baritone guitar, the Ozark Resonator 3515BTE and various models from the brands Dean Guitars, PRS Guitars, Vigier, Charvel and Jackson, among others. He has also played the main acoustic guitars of the Taylor Guitars and Takamine factories in their six- and twelve-string versions.
Also, thanks to million-dollar contracts with the aforementioned factories, he had the opportunity to personalize some of them, such as his own version of the Jackson Soloist, which he called Flags, since it was full of various flags from around the world. This was released as a limited edition between 1988 and 1989, mainly for the European market. The same thing happened with the Hamer brand, which created a special version for him of its Floyd Rose model in black and white colors, between 1984 and 1985, which was used in the video for “Out in the Fields.”
It is worth mentioning that the Gibson company manufactured a Les Paul model guitar with exclusive specifications for him in 2000. After his death and as a tribute to the late musician, that guitar was released under the name Gary Moore Les Paul in 2013, but only for the United States and Great Britain.
Legacy and tributes
Since his death, a wide variety of musicians have dedicated words to him, both in interviews and on their own websites, recognizing his enormous legacy and work in music. Some of them have been vocalist and friend Ozzy Osbourne, Brian Downey and Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy, current Kiss drummer and Gary’s musician on the Wild Frontier tour Eric Singer, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Doug Aldrich of Whitesnake, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, Irish singer Bob Geldof, Roger Taylor and Brian May of Queen, opera vocalist Andy DiGelsomina, Ricky Warwick of The Almighty, Glenn Hughes, Bryan Adams, Henry Rollins and Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth, among many others.

On April 18, 2011, several Irish musicians, such as Eric Bell and Brian Downey of Thin Lizzy, performed a concert in his honor at the Whelan’s Bar venue in Dublin, which they called The Gig for Gary. This same type of tribute was held in Budapest on April 4, 2012, at the PeCsa Music Hall venue.
