“It was Gary’s idea to bring the Irishness back into Thin Lizzy": Guitar hero Gary Moore made only one album with the band - and it’s a classic

Gary Moore and Phil Lynott in 1979.

On this day (6 February) in 2011, Gary Moore died at the age of 58. The Irish guitar hero made many great records in his long career, but arguably the best of them all was the one he made with Thin Lizzy.

The full title of the album says it all. Black Rose: A Rock Legend.
