The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Gary Moore

  • When I’m playing, I get completely lost in it, and I’m not even aware of what I’m doing with my face; I’m just playing.
  • The blues needs to be everything to you; otherwise, it’s not going to come across. That’s what I think.
  • I think that a lot of people are going so wrong by analysing music too much and learning from a totally different perspective from the way I learned. I mean, I just learned by listening to people. People I learned from by listening to people.
  • I did play with Dr. Strangely Strange a couple of years ago – that difficult third album, ‘Alternative Medicine,’ 1997. It was great to see them all. They’re very special people and they were very good to me in Dublin in the 1960s.
  • I’ve always thought of music in the long term. I’ve always tried to write songs that people could listen to a couple of years later and maybe longer.
  • I mean, if you go to a rock gig and someone plays a ballad, it can still really come across, even though there’s a hundred thousand people there.
  • Obviously, I don’t play the same way as Peter, but I could do a passable imitation of Peter Green; if you gave me a guitar, I could sit here and probably get closer than anybody else.
  • Like a lot of the newer bands, like the more poppy kind of bands, although they make really good records and they produce them really great and everything, they don’t really deliver onstage. And I think that’s where, like, the heavier bands kind of score.
  • My father was responsible for me starting in music. He’s always stood behind me.
  • I think all my albums have concentrated on songs, I’ve never taken the typical Van Halen route to try and become a guitar hero.
