Gary Moore
Dragged along to this gig after being told he was awesome by my girlfriend. Managed to listen to the first half of the self-ingulgent wankfest without running on stage and murdering him with his own guitar and retired to the bar for the second half along with most of the audience.

Here Here. Gary Moore, dead now or was he ever alive.

I bet
you all stampeded back in when he played "Parisenne Walkways" though, didn't you?

Probably. That's a good mainstream one, after all.

Interestingly, Moore was also a good jazz fusion guitarist. He was with Jon Hiseman's Colosseum II and also guested on a Gary Boyle album.

But then, one man's self-indulgent wankfest is another man's superb music full of technical brilliance and emotional intensity.

I've seen him twice...
...and he was as miserable as sin each time.

I'd lay money on the fact that the day he died was the only day he was happy.
