Re: Damn, Gary Moore has passed away

From Classic Rock Magazine Website:

The Sun newspaper is reporting this morning that guitarist Gary Moore died after choking on his own vomit following a heavy drinking session.

Moore had just begun a six-day holiday in Spain’s Costa Del Sol. His body was discovered in his hotel room at about 4am on Sunday, February 6, by his girlfriend.

According to The Sun, medics found Moore lying lifeless on his back wearing just his underpants.

An ambulance source said: “We believe the deceased had been drinking heavily.”

Moore died hours after checking into the upmarket Kempinski Hotel at Estepona.

A hotel source said: “They [Moore and his girlfriend] were going to eat at the restaurant but it was closed so they had a sandwich at the bar with a bottle of champagne. They went for a stroll then back to the bar where Gary had brandies. He seemed fine when he left around 11pm.”

Meanwhile, Associated Press is reporting that Spanish police are awaiting the outcome of the autopsy on Moore before deciding if an investigation into his death is needed.

A spokeswoman for Spain’s Interior Ministry said today there were no signs of foul play.

She spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with ministry regulations.

She said the autopsy is being carried out in Malaga. It is not known when the result will be released.

When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.

Very reliable THE  SUN...............................................................

I read it was a heartattack in his sleep. Stupid speculations!

Re: Damn, Gary Moore has passed away

His death is troubling me more than I thought it would.  Sounds like another causality to sex, drugs and rock and roll.  Fifty-Eight is way too young to leave this earth.  I find myself thinking of the families of these tragedies the most.  I recently got a download of a soon to be released album (2/22) by G Love.  The song's called "Fixin' To Die" and there's a nice video of the song on YouTube.  I can't attache it cause its put up by Vevo, but you can google it.  It's a fitting song for my thoughts for Gary Moore.  RIP.

Brack I am inclined to go with massive heart attack. You saw how he has been looking the past couple of years. Coronary can be accompanied by vomitting, staff probably saw and reported that. At the end of the day dead is dead. Remember Mama Cass?? There never was a ham sandwich.....

you have all seen it,but it needs a second look.

Re: Damn, Gary Moore has passed away

this one hit me hard,harder than when SRV passed. It's taken me a week to actually be able to post a reply to his passing,ever time I would try the tears would start to well up. a friend played me a copy of Victims of the Future some 100 years or so ago and have loved his music since. the blues he plays are top notch,so much feeling. I was the one who was always talking him up around my musician friends. they would always say "Gary who". he is one of the reasons I picked up a guitar after all these years. I was just learning the intro to Still Got The Blues just a few days ago,and then he passes.
I'm seriously considering selling my brand new Telecaster and my Epiphone Les Paul (Pearly Gates pups) and buying the Gibson Gary Moore Signature Les Paul. there is one at the  Ft. Worth,Tx. Guitar Center for a decent price. anyone own this guitar or have owned one,please contact me at: jlund@uoregon.edu
