Gary Moore Gary Moore - Die offizielle Biografie - Der Letzte Guitar-Hero

(Hannibal Publishers) Hardcover, German, 504 pages, with 10 page picture gallery

Gary Moore has inspired generations with his passionate guitar playing. In the seventies he was the driving force behind Thin Lizzy and Colosseum II, while in the eighties he devoted himself to heavy metal and in the nineties to blues rock. No matter what he was playing, Moore was always at the forefront of the world's stages.

Despite this incomparable presence, the real Gary Moore hid himself away and reacted reservedly during interviews. Renowned rock biographer Harry Shapiro has conducted many revealing conversations with family members, close friends, and musicians, and takes the reader on a fascinating journey. It begins with an account of Gary's role as a guitarist prodigy in a Civil War-torn Ireland and brings to life the many highs and lows Moore went through as he carved out his place in rock history.

Despite his far-too-early death in 2011, Gary Moore still has legions of fans around the world who will be thrilled by this unique glimpse into the life of a guitar genius who embraced individuality and whose music lives on.
