I met Garry Moore in 1992 in London at a gign my friend was promoting Frankly, he was the nicest person anyone could hope to meet. I was lucky enough to have more than a few drinks with Gary and the band after the gig. I met him a few times after that and all I can say is that he was a unique musician. He loved people - displayed no side or judgement and could relate to anyone - he just embraced whatever life's shit hand dealt and managed to find a positive somewhere under the dirt. Over the years I have known a lot of famous people in the business - few will measure up tp this man - and many will never simply compare. He was (and still remains) a blues rock god. Sadly, even gods die. RIP Gary you are still loved. Nicko
I'm from Russia, and I don't understand a single word in the song. But this song is very important to me, because it reminds me of my first unhappy love. There will never be such a musician again. Gary, I really miss you.
The thing about Gary Moore is that he had more heart than the metal players and more technique than the blues players and that's what made him so blisteringly soulful.
I think he had more technique than the metal players as well. Though he didn't do endless sweep arpeggios all night he did other things that metal players couldn't do. I agree he was unbelievably soulful.
I mean that depends on what kind of metal you are focusing, I can tell you that if you listen to the glam bands´power ballads you will find the finest and most touching solos.
Gary was a guitar prodigy at a young age. Never cared for drugs and womanizing which has destroyed many many people. He was focused on his gift and was a mans man when it came to his music. Gary Moore lives forever.
So nicely said. Such a talented gentleman. But his passion was gut-wrenching sometimes.. I felt that. I really learned how to put my heart & soul into my music through learning to play Empty Roomz..
@@MrAdriancooke His B.A.C. was 3when he died was 3.80 !!! I was shocked when I learned that because he certainly did not have the reputation of an alcohol-fuelled musician - nor as a drug-taker. But apparently in the last 2 years of life he did binge on alcohol hard sometimes - as he must have done whilst on holiday with his family in Spain, where he died - because it's assumed that such a high B.A.C. caused him to have a heart attack, and he died in his sleep. He passed away on my birthday, btw - 6th February, 2011.
Absolutely Heartbreaking, Soulful, Beautiful… Gary Moore’s Guitar playing was like no other, his Voice was Fantastic and he Never got enough credit for his Unbelievable Talent 🎸 you are Missed, Gary 🌹
as a fellow Northern irish man I agree, such a talent followed him from thin lizzy right up to the blues, broke my heart when he passed was an idol ....
I never thought his voice was all that amazing. Especially in his later years. But if he wasn’t the most emotional lead guitar player I’ve ever heard then I don’t know who was
Sitting here during lockdown (May 2020) and feeling pretty blue. Two years since the love of my life has died! Can't get enough of Garys music right now! Ordered every CD I could find of his! This man not only touches my heart with his music, but my soul! Wish I would of found you many, many years ago Gary! You will be timeless in the hearts of many Gary! RIP, your music lives on!
Sorry for your lost my friend, stay strong! Gary's music touches the soul, for me the guitar in this gig is crying out my past.... Much love for you, take care and keep listening to great music!
So many musicians get lost in their own cliches and lose their curiosity, Gary was ALWAYS inspired and inspiring, finding new colurs in tone, new songs, new styles but newer loosing himself, a master of emotions, thank you Gary.
When I listen to any other guitar virtuoso’s song on TH-cam and I read the comments, it’s mostly about how technically proficient the guy is or how fast is he playing. When you read the comments here or on any other Gary’s song, you’ll read people describing about how deep they feel his music. Tells you that he was doing something right. This many people can’t be wrong. And that is point of music my friends. That’s the point of any art form. Making people feel something. Something worth revisiting again and again.
I remember him from Skid Row days before Thin Lizzy and knew then he would be the greatest in years to come.This song was played so much when I lived in Bahrain and that's 25 years ago or more but still has the quality and feef today as it will have in the next 25 years. RIP Gary ...............always the best
For now, there some empty Spaces still left. I heard my lessons. A such younger femine relative of mine, has passed away. Such suddenly to my acknowlence nearly. I feel deep sorrow for her. My sweet condolences. 😢
Couldn't t believe it when he passed..... back in 1994 when my first son was born he was proudly named Gary.......Seen Gary Moore once live back in the mid 80 s and this song blew me away....Forever may you fly ..where ever you are.......
I used to play in a covers band in Australia that played quite a few Gary Moore covers. I was the keyboardist. Gary brought a new sonic pallet to my life. I had the privilege of seeing him live in London twice in concert. At a concert at Brixton Academy I caught and then dropped his pick at the end of the gig. I also saw him support BB King at Wembley Arena. I will never get sick of listening to his musical genius
And of course there’s Rory Gallagher every bit as good as Gary Moore another Irish master who left too soon both are some of the best there ever was then or now
I am always amazed at how incredible his guitar tone is. Articulate, saturated, but always clearly defined. And with the bare minimum between his fingers and the speakers...
One of the greatest. Snubbed by some of his peers (Clapton, your ego and jealousy screwed this one up royally...), tragically left us before TH-cam and social media could reinstate the worldwide recognition he so deserved while he still was with us. Safe travels mate.
Words can never describe the emotion Gary gets from that guitar. Soulful. RIP Gary, you were a master of music on this planet now your an ascended master mate.
Just WOW !! oh yea ........ ummmm WOW !! i remember this song on "Victims of the future" album on vinyl when it came out .... good stuff as you can see i'm still a fan, we all mourn his passing the heavens needed him for some odd reason, Yea maybe a millennial jam, can't have too many !!
1990 I was supposed to see Gary Moore for my first concert. But I skipped school and wasn't allowed to go. So I had to wait until 1992 where I saw Iron Maiden at Donington. I always intended to catch him but I was more into his rock/metal than the blues, so I never did. I wish I had.
Anyone can learn to competently play a guitar - very few play with feeling and only Gary Moore made it talk. Thank you for the music. Your legacy lives on. I hope you found your peace
The 6th of July 2010 he did this fantastic gig at The Montreux Jazz Festival. and he was not well at all but still gave all he had... The 6th of February 2011, only 7 month's later, he said goodbye to this world. Still missing that special tone and feeling he shared with us...
Mesmerising player, so brilliant are all Gary's appearances, no wonder he has still got a great amount of fans and this song and the accompanying guitar playing confirm his wonderment. Thanks for the work the band put in to these outstanding performances as well! Amazing! RIP great man.
Here I am again after a good few drinks on a Thursday night hangover at work tomorrow on you tube going to bed soon but had to listen to Gary playing guitar before
Dopo Hendrix uno dei pochi chitarristi che abbia avuto un rapporto di amore/sesso con il suo strumento. La sua chitarra la sua follia la sua passione. E la musica diventa arte.

How about Aussies I reckon was Gary a prophet coz what he sings about is me

why kids on youtube not copy /play like this?
I mean that depends on what kind of metal you are focusing, I can tell you that if you listen to the glam bands´power ballads you will find the finest and most touching solos.
Kills me every time I hear this . The outro solos are straight from the heart . Gary is missed beyond words
Pablo couldn’t agree more. Completely miss this man, his songs, his passion. Stunning music
Absolutely same here. I just atch him in awe
This was towards the end when he’d put on quite a bit of weight due to his increased drinking. And yet, the unbelievable skill never deserted him.
He makes those strings cry, scream, sing. So raw and yet so beautiful.

@@brianmckeever903 what does his country have to do with it? Dude was the best, ferocious yet musical. THE BEST from this planet IMO
@@anthonydavella8350 , don't even know what you mean ?
One of the finest guitarist's you will ever hear, the mans knowledge of the fretboard was second to none
I’ve been through a lot of pain listening to Gary
Imho no one can get emotion out of his strings like him❤❤
@@mikeletts1773 Your opinion is very popular indeed
Zseniális zenész és gitáros!
You don't listen to Gary's playing, you feel it.
You do that with every rock God..feel them.
So true...
You are totally right.
Truee
@@ZK-hh2or No one rock God put so much power in every note, even SRV.
Rory gallagher and gary moore you were the greatest ever, RIP

My condolences, Beth 🙏🏻
I am so sorry for your loss stay strong dear heart
An underrated guitarist and even underrated singer. RIP Gary
Fuck that shit. Who the hell underrated him ? No one underrated!!!
So many musicians get lost in their own cliches and lose their curiosity, Gary was ALWAYS inspired and inspiring, finding new colurs in tone, new songs, new styles but newer loosing himself, a master of emotions, thank you Gary.
Gary put his heart and soul into every note he played,one of the absolute best ever.
My husband and my humble opinion the best there ever was mr. Gary moore
RIP Great Irish two guitarists
RORY AND GARY

Everytime i hear this masterpiece, i feel that Gary Moore was truly one of a kind. He was so underrated. He will always be deeply missed.
whos still listening in 2023
The best Music, i am Tommy Germany
He is the greatest guitar player ever
Yes indeed the best
Definitely underrated!
Merci d'avoir existé Gary. On t'écoute encore. Formidable guitariste.
the best guitar player this world has ever seen, R.I.P. Gary moore
The most emotional lead playing.. his playing really evokes the sadness of the lyrics.. amazing player... never will be another like him..
may be chuck shuldiner died 32 years 2002
my top 2
Without a shadow of a doubt, Gary was the finest, played from his soul and conveyed incredible emotion.
@@MrParisienWalkways Go listen to Buckethead,and you'll see and hear SOUL at its finest!
That bassist's passage is pretty sweet and soulful too; glad it was part of the arrangement.
His singing was great while his guitar gently weeped. Gary is one of the greats, we lost him too soon. RIP 😢

There are guitar players and there’s Gary Moore!!!!!! RIP Absolute Genius 🥂
i can highly recommend the live version from stockholm 1987 to anyone who hasnt listened
Last solo is just too crazy, rip king
But how good this guy was. It's that I never get tired of seeing this genius of the guitar. Heart of Blues. How much you are missed.
Garry Moore you will never see or here of his likes again verry rear top drawer
I so wish he was still with us.
This song touches my Soul
Who needs a voice when you play like Gary Moore.
For now, there some empty Spaces still left. I heard my lessons. A such younger femine relative of mine, has passed away. Such suddenly to my acknowlence nearly. I feel deep sorrow for her. My sweet condolences. 😢
Tears in my eyes on this one..
I will say it again: the most beautiful version of this song he did.
It’s fantastic, the solo takes you to another world
Jesus Christ this man is good!
Gary made a guitar into a violin. A player.
So sorry he’s gone. At least we have pieces like this one to take us away 😢
Gary Moore RIP. Miss your genius guitar playing and blues singing - still got the blues for you mate.
Iconic. My ex session bass musician played with Gary Moore and Greg lake.tris margetts
No one like him , forget these fast soulless widdlers 🎼🙏
😮💨 . . . left us way too soon . . . genius ....eternal rest to you brother 💔
His music goes deep into my soul ! God Bless The Man RIP Gary
Couldn't t believe it when he passed..... back in 1994 when my first son was born he was proudly named Gary.......Seen Gary Moore once live back in the mid 80 s and this song blew me away....Forever may you fly ..where ever you are.......
Literally the best guitar player that ever lived imo. rip gary.
Это моя самая любимая песня у него
Its 1987 once again ❤❤❤
Nobody wrenches pure emotion from strings like Gary
maybe Gilmour
@@dansorescu5720 nah!
Comme tu me manques, Gary, tu nous aurais encore touché par ta musique pendant de longues années. :('
Rip Gary Moore the man the myth the legend.
Spot on , only 1 Gary 🎼
I used to play in a covers band in Australia that played quite a few Gary Moore covers. I was the keyboardist. Gary brought a new sonic pallet to my life. I had the privilege of seeing him live in London twice in concert. At a concert at Brixton Academy I caught and then dropped his pick at the end of the gig.

con todo respeto gente; quien no derrame una lagrima escuchando esa guitarra, es porque no sabe de sentimientos. que grande gary moore!
The way he's playing and improvising the first three notes of Empty Room coldly, you won't even recognize it until at the end you say oh yeah that it.
Is it just me ? Irishman play with such deep soulful heart.Sadly they leave us too early.Really brings back memories for me.Always loved Gary's stuff.
And of course there’s Rory Gallagher every bit as good as Gary Moore another Irish master who left too soon both are some of the best there ever was then or now
The finest electric guitarist the world has ever seen.
Gary Moore was The finest without a shadow of a doubt. Buckethead couldn’t carry Gary’s guitar case.
@@MrParisienWalkways Ok
Yes, Sir !!
Also, Gilmour. Rip Moore.... You are missed 😢
An amazing player such talent.
Awesome, One of the greatest guitarist ever.
A/V engineering work is incredibly good.
I was there. I suppose it was his last concert in Switzerland. July 2010. What a lost!
I am always amazed at how incredible his guitar tone is. Articulate, saturated, but always clearly defined. And with the bare minimum between his fingers and the speakers...
One of the greatest. Snubbed by some of his peers (Clapton, your ego and jealousy screwed this one up royally...), tragically left us before TH-cam and social media could reinstate the worldwide recognition he so deserved while he still was with us. Safe travels mate.
boa noite nassao roqueira isto sim tocar com alma grande época maravilhosa rock na veia
Him and Stevie Ray Vaughn together on Stage would have been outstanding.
R.I.P. the Both of you.
Words can never describe the emotion Gary gets from that guitar. Soulful. RIP Gary, you were a master of music on this planet now your an ascended master mate.
I still recall the first time I heard this, my marriage was over and this just struck me to the bone and soul.....
Ditto: Something about the line "You see her face in every crowd" kinda made me realise that I wasn't the first to experience that.
Fabuleuse version longue de ce titre magnifique "Empty Rooms" !!!
What a fucking gorgeous bass run into that solo ❤
The finest guitarist that ever drew breath, no one comes close.
I totally agree....simply the best ever !!
Absolutely
A monster rock guitarist who was steeped in the blues from the beginning. R.I.P. Gary, you are sorely missed.
George Harrison had very high regard playing live with him on a Harrison song. And as a good friend. He loved him.
Just WOW !! oh yea ........ ummmm WOW !! i remember this song on "Victims of the future" album on vinyl when it came out .... good stuff as you can see i'm still a fan, we all mourn his passing the heavens needed him for some odd reason, Yea maybe a millennial jam, can't have too many !!
Great song written by Neil Carter on keyboards, currently touring with UFO, brilliant song RIP Gary
A perfect evening listening to my two favorite Guitarists Gary Moore and Frank Marino and a cold beer. PRICELESS!
I am lucky to be able to pay my respect to we’re the master is Layed to rest he played with his heart and soul god rest Gary from all of us
I miss you Gary the greatest guitar man I've ever met.. Neil Carter, I was surprised at your hair style and nice to see you again..
Questa canzone rasenta la perfezione assoluta: la chitarra, il basso, la voce di Moore, le parole sono semplicemente divine!
Every comment says the same thing, Gary is the BEST guitar player without a doubt
1990 I was supposed to see Gary Moore for my first concert. But I skipped school and wasn't allowed to go. So I had to wait until 1992 where I saw Iron Maiden at Donington. I always intended to catch him but I was more into his rock/metal than the blues, so I never did. I wish I had.

Discovered Gary Moore last year during lockdown and made me appreciate guitar solos even more. Watching from Mauritius during 2021 COVID-19 Lockdown.
Still Great from curepipe
Listen to his "Blues For Jimi" album. I reckon you'll love it
beatyfull songs Gary Moore still got the blues and empty rooms
Empty is the world ,dear,without ,Sound of your breathing,and guitar
The 6th of July 2010 he did this fantastic gig at The Montreux Jazz Festival. and he was not well at all but still gave all he had...
The 6th of February 2011, only 7 month's later, he said goodbye to this world. Still missing that special tone and feeling he shared with us...
He makes his guitar speak, love him!
The pain was visible on his face, yet he gave his best. That's what legengs are, respect !
one of my favorite songs, Gary Moore the best guitarist rest in peace🌷
Er spielt die Gibson wie kein anderer. Gary R.I.P.never forgotten.
