my opinion is that Jud's Gallery cant demand Moore's money for something he played many many years after, its called a Cover. many people uses the same rythmes in songs and everything so i cant understand jud's gallery's problem ;) its like all of the covers that have been done from the Hendrix songs, i cant think that i would have complained if someone took something from he's songs :)

Parisienne Walkways is from 1978 and Nordrach from 1974! Same roots!

Jud's Gallery played in the 70th as a support act with the Brit Alexis Korner on Tour and could have been heard by Gary Moore. Jud's Gallery won the process! The guitar-solo is stolen from Jürgen Winter's Nordrach.

Gary plays with so much passion Oh Yea! and it doesn't hurt to have a 59 Les Paul

Parisienne Walkways hoerts sich auch verdammt aehnlich an......warum muss er es gestohlen haben , man musste dann ja gleich die halbe Musikscene verklagen .

Naja, das hört sich schon verdammt nach Nordrach an, ohne Zweifel hat er das Lied wohl gehört - und sich diese Melodie zu merken iss ja auch mal net schwer, selbst über zwei Jahrzehnte. Trotzdem hat er das perfektioniert, Gary hat es zu dem Hammer gemacht, den man selbst in 50 Jahren noch ihm zuschreiben wird! Also: 50/50!!!

quod erat demonstrandum: Der Gitarren-Hook in "Parisienne Walkways" ist eine 1:1 Kopie von "Blue Bossa" von Kenny Dorham, aber das hat Moore schon zugegeben, wie ich vor ein paar Jahren mal irgendwo gelesen habe. Schwachsinn ist, dass Winter/Moore´s Melodie überhaupt die Charakteristik einer unverwechselbaren Komposition zuerkannt wurde; ginge es danach könnte B.B. King auch Müller-Westernhagen für "Mit Pfefferminz bin ich Dein Prinz" verklagen...

I don't know about the "obvious" thing, really. Maybe he did rip it off, maybe he did not - given his massive amount of original work I tend to believe the latter ... and who knows: if you dig deep enough you might find that set of notes in some piece written by Bach or any other classical composer, no? Let's face it: the notes are rather trivial, it's all about how you play them and that is where Gary just shines.

In "the sense of feel" Malmsteen and pretty much any of the old days™ "Guitar Heroes" (read: fretboard wankers) don't even exist, let alone come close. This is about a musician, maybe a little about technique, but definitely not about wrestling as many 1/64s as possible out of your strings although I admit that can a somewhat impressive stunt. :)

Make that his hands ... Gary can play just about any guitar or even a broomstick with some shoelace and it would still sound like him. That's what you call an artist's style. ;)
