Wild Frontier is one of my all time favorite albums. It is 80's guitar driven heavy rock at its best.
Great album and the Stockholm live ahow is brilliant...
@@Mysterywhiteboy78 It most certainly is.
Same here buddy my last school year
Same 😊
Gary Moore was the first guitarist I've heard as a kid and knew by name. I love his work.
he made me start to play guitar; he was so versatile, melodic, everything... I prefer him above his 80s rival VanHalen (although I'm from The Netherlands too!) haha
my original guitar hero was Ace Frehley of Kiss, but there was a huge change once I heard Gary.. I can honestly say he's in my top 5 guitarists of all time. Gary could play any style he chose to and do it well. I really hate. i found this channel this late. butvi'm here now and really like it here, so if you don't mind, i'll subscribe and hang around.... Peace
He's right up there among one of the best guitarists. 😀
He is, and influenced so many guitarists after that
And then he took Eric Singer, Bob Daisley and Neil Carter on tour and played and sang everybody's asses off. Live in Stockholm 1987 wiped out any live act at that time and beyond.
The stuff he put out in the 80’s is a reminder that he was a very versatile player. Most people just think he’s a blues-rock player. His blues/blues-rock material is amazing, however his hard rock and heavy metal stuff is amazing too.
Gary was one of the very best guitar players on the planet. While he would not acknowledge the quality of this ear when he got into the blues, this is premium level music.
Over the hills and far away featuring the irish traditional group the cheiftains . Mixed irish traditional music with hard rock and it made a great song
Never heard Gary's solo material before. Always assumed it would be instrumental, but wow, this was fantastic. Now I gotta check all of his stuff out.
Gary actually wrote the Wild Frontier album as a tribute to his best friend Phil Lynott who had died recently. He knew Phil liked Celtic style rock songs. If you look on the back of the album cover in the bottom left hand corner it says in red 'For Phillip'. The whole album is a master piece if you like this kind of music.
"Another familiar face in the video is Paddy Moloney of the legendary Irish folk group The Chieftains. He is playing a (Uilleann pipes) in the video, but has never been credited with actually playing anything on the song or album, so was likely just around/available to pop in. He certainly adds a lot of clout to the Celtic credentials of the song!" there's shows where he had the whole Chieftains band with him.
The whole of the group the cheiftains played on the track not just the genius that was Paddy Moloney
Paddy Molony was credited..
See the late, late show Ireland.
Paddy even discusses how Gary put Paddy in leathers.
Get your facts straight !
Australia
The extended solo on the album is FIRE!!!
that guitar solo has the best sound dynamics! My fav of all time!
Gary is an absolute legend. Enough said. R.I.P.
Great song, great video, noticed Mark Ryan from Robin of Sherwood ( Nasir) playing the main part in the video
Loved the whole production of this video and the solo is excellent. Reset in peace Gary you are sorely missed 🙏
Dennis Ward reacts to Gary Moore -> automatic like
You payed homage and respect to one of the greats here...I thank you for that.🍀👍🎶🎸
Gary Moore was the best guitar player of the word - RIP GARY MOORE.....
Gary wrote songs about war, and snuck in references to the Troubles in Northern Ireland during the 1980s. Veterans understood them, but for most civvies of that era, the references went way over their heads.
The song wild frontier is pretty unsubtle if you know he’s from Ireland hahaha
I fell in love with Paul Reed Smith Guitars after watching this video back in 87! Man I miss Gary!
I get goosebumps hearing that solo...
@@jonblackers4611 especially live version.
Gary was a real master.
The whole album is just awesome. The studio version is even more interesting..and longer of course. I remember the first time I listened to this album(all the albums in mid-late 80s and early 90s) on a german made cassette player and I loved the atmosphere of the album. Later, when I got a serious Hi-Fi equipment, it was like hearing it for a first time. The space, the beauty of his tone..everything!
Was listening to the Wild Frontier album yesterday, my partner hadn't heard it before but he commented on how good it sounded on vinyl and how catchy / anthemic the songs were. There is footage on youtube of Gary playing this song in a TV studio (Ireland's Late Late Show) with the musicians from The Chieftains playing with him. Its cool to see the two styles together. All great musicians. RIP Gary
Gary was the best
Saw Gary Live in 1988 & the After The War concert in 1990. He was definitely one of a kind, both shows were incredible and a generation growing up now will never know the power he had in those days on the circuit. Very sadly missed, a huge loss to the music industry, along with the likes of Freddie Mercury & John Lennon. Gone too soon.
Murder in the skies and end of the world are brilliant
WOW ive never seen this side of Gary. Its like a cross between Iron Maiden and an Irish Sea Chanty
He's not known for being the guitarist of Thin Lizzy, he was only in Thin Lizzy for a short while.
Loved everything about your analysis of this song, I love how you are more impressed by the small nuances - to the untrained ear so much of that gets unnoticed but a lot of the time it's what separates a good song from a great one. Dad stretched his career over 4 decades by not boring himself, he was remarkable at whatever genre he resonated with at the time.
That's funny, that everybody seems to remember Gary Moore as a Blues guitarist. For me his heavier "Run for cover" and "Wild Frontier" were my first introduction to Rock/Hard Rock (and later Metal). I still listen to these CDs.
Saw him on this tour, it was amazing!
I enjoyed Mr Ward’s analysis almost as much as the song/video itself. Looking forward to more or should I say Moore lol
Some Celtic touches + song is telling a story. One of my faves.
*MORE* Gary Moore please! 😎
That solo 🔥
...and press them both at 'relatively' the exact same time."
Love it!
You're the best!
I love this, being of Celtic ancestry myself. A small point, not to do with the reaction really, Celtic has two ways of being pronounced. It's Seltic for the Glasgow football club, but otherwise for the people or anything they do, it's keltic. Don't ask me why. Nice reaction and breakdown of the song. Thank you.
the song has 3 different solos: the EP version, the LP version, and the Mtv version. THIS IS MY JAM
The Loner is another cracking song. R.I.P. GM
I love this video, it's clear that Dennis really enjoyed it and has a huge amount of respect for Gary... It's a fantastic song, and a great review.
Thanks man.
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Brilliant !
I enjoyed you discussing the in and outs of this fabulous song.
Thank you.
RIP Gary Moore Phil Lynott.
I heard Iron Maiden for the first time in around 83' I was like 10 years old. Maiden has been my favorite band ever since. Randy Rhoads was my reason for picking up the guitar back in the early 80's. I had no idea who Gary Moore was.. But here I was a huge fan of Adrian Smith, Randy Rhoads, Vivian Cambell, Jake E. Lee, Mark Kendall, Gary Moore etc.. It was later on in interviews that I found most of my biggest musical influences listed Gary as an influence, so naturally I had to go figure out who this Gary they speak of, is.. I get it now and I can hear Garys influence in most of my favorite guitarists. Sadly, I really didn't get into Gary until about the time of his passing. I missed out on pure brilliance. Fortunately, we have youtube.. and of course his catalog of music that is available. Anyone wanting to really dive into guitar and tone.. Gary has to be one that you study...
Apparently he used the Fairlight on the wild Frontier Album
This is Dennis Ward, a former bass player of german hard band Pink Cream 69.
Should've listened to the 12” version. It is just more of that wonderful song 2 solos and a killer piece before the acapella vocal part. Epic song either way.
Can you link me that?
@@bluezy1 Here you go th-cam.com/video/6SgQUi9uJrc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JavierAngel
Very well done! From a 60 year engineer (Insane Artist Studios).
having the big war drums far away then very close 10:30 was interesting
RIP Gary 🙌
heroic guitar tone
Wow denis ward.. bassist for pink cream 69.. VERY UNDERRATED BAND
I met Gary when Billy Bob was working for Lizzy as a Roady. Gary seemed very introverted at the time. He listened intently as Billy Bob and I talked about Peter's 59 LP, but didn't have anything to add.
Just a brief glimpse of Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains (guy playing the Uileann Pipes), who just passed away. RIP Paddy.
Did you see the live he did with the chieftains? Believe it was late 80s or so on an Irish TV-channel. Quite cool.
@@andreaspedersen3952 I don't believe so. I'm sure it was cool though.
@@jailnurse th-cam.com/video/-Wtsr6MxUkk/w-d-xo.html found it! Enjoy! Sound is a little wonky, but still great.
You can't understand unless you where there.
I was 28yrs. Old then. I often say that I grew up in the best time in music Ever!...just say'n...
flanger sounded so cool, must be easy to do digitally , i bet hmm well with a little arm microcontroller that has DSPs onboard, or just a dsp, nah let's stick with VSTs
OMG what a good Time
A staple now for Nightwish, live
That solo is different from the original album version. Cool to hear a new take on it.
I actually prefer this one, it's a lot more melodic.
Love watching the breakdowns of the songs!
Gary Moore did a alum for Thin Lizzy after the guitarist letf the band,
4:20 Gary is kinda emulating brass/trumpet stabs with those 'clever' overdub guitars, same arrangement idea I would say
Great stuff Dennis
Thank you, Bill!
Best wishes
Can’t believe they got Jeremy Irons to play fiddle for the video ;)
Gary gets some of this song's fight and flavor from Phil Lynott and Gary's stint(s) with Thin Lizzy... that Irish war/folk rock thing.
He actually wrote this for his Phil just after he'd died.
Very interesting review. I learned a few things, although I'm no technician, I'm interested in that matter. Wild Frontier is my top favourite Gary Moore album. What had amazed me at the time was when I realized there was no drummer, and that all the drums are actually programmed drums, and it sounds really good, and we were only in 1987... Usually drum machines etc, were crap at that time... Not there. And Gary sung really better on this album, his vocals were processed, multi-tracked, but still, they sound really good. Much better than on Victims of the Future, for instance. And maybe he adapted to this very melodic music. He was about to do another album in that vein when he died, apparently. and there's a lot fo really great guitar playing, especially on the several 12" extended versions that he recorded at that time.
I always thought that Moore was a hugely underrated guitarist. He made lead breaks look so effortless, and his tone was how a rock guitar should sound. Not this over-processed nonsense we get these days. The album version of Over The Hills was superior to the single version too. Hugely missed.
Gary Moore was an absolute monster. This head cutter would waste anyone in his prime. The reason he didn't hit in the states was because his shit was simply too sophisticated. The Messiah Will Come Again is simply stunning. My biggest influence in my pro career. Super nice dude too. There's been some shit talk since his death about this. I'm here to tell you that in a pro setting he was one of the coolest mfers I've ever met and I've met them all. Thanks for your rad descriptive of the production of this tune. I typically can't tolerate the TH-cam gtr Gurus in that they have no idea what they're talking about. Grid snappers, beato et al. Thanks again🇨🇮
@@jonblackers4611 the motherload of 1/4 note flat bends when trying to hit pitch. I love Roy, but we’re talking about two different sports. Different time zones my man. Are you the one guy that thinks All Along the Watchtower is better with Dylan doing it? I’m sure Paginini played the caprices differently than Shlomo Mintz, but his expansions are stunning. Gary was the standard, before his blues gig. As I said Coliseum ii was too sophisticated for the states in regard to airplay. Check out his video Fire Alarm Blues. Just him in a room doing an interview with a gtr in his hands. No offense, but Roy would be out after 4 bars, he couldn’t cover that. Just on articulation alone. I’m only speaking on technique, not genre or songwriting. Just playing. Think first chair violinist for a major symphony. Who gets the gig? And we’re opening Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto in D.
Nightwish over the hills and far away next
Hello Charlie,
thanks for your suggestion!
Can't promise but will add it to our list 🙂
Best wishes
IF i had to choose between Garys Celtic rock sound! And His blues! Ill take THE Celtic rock! Everytime! Of course i appreciate! THE awesome blues stuff too but Beeing a rocker myself! I prefer THE harder stuff! I tend to get sleepy hearing blues absolutely No disrespect kind regards
Drums are actually programmed drum machine. I, sadly, recognize drum machines. I have worked with 'em too long.
The Studio version is uncut and the guitar solo is different
I've said it before on the actual video but doesn't the violinist look like Jeremy irons
And change the speed of the second tape machine by putting your finger on the flange of the tape real? Or is that a myth?
Gary Moore and Les Paul....
Not seltic roots.....keltic roots
Hate to say it, but the Tommy Johansson cover is superior imo.
Gary moore went blues way after this, he wasn't classic blues guy back in 84 ffs. he was interesting back then, stuff with lizzy, awesome...then he found the blues, or to be super hip and with it..the blues found him...he was always great, but the blues crap was boring a/f....but the song you're reviewing was way before the blues bromance or whatever the fuck happened to make him boring.
This is actually a travesty of a song and lyrics from a soldier's song from the peninsula wars, Napoleon and Wellington, for a real version of the song check out an artist called John Tamm Tamm
Absolutely ruined this song, terrible version, if you want to hear a real version check out John Tamm it's maybe too colonial trigger music for a lot now but it is a British military song from around the 1800s so either deal with it or don't glorify the re lyrics American version
