This is doubly odd for me as just last night I watched a BBC 4 documentary on the band. Woke up this morning and read of his passing.
I readily admit I was never a fan of his solo music, but Moore played a significant role in Thin Lizzy, a great Irish rock band best known for cheeky and sometimes truly poetic lyrics and that awesome harmonizing twin guitar sound.

Moore several times rejoined the band on the road to take the place of whomever the latest guitar casualty was in that second spot, and he could seriously tear it up. He was also the other guitarist across form Scott Gorham on Black Rose, arguably the last Lizzy album worth a damn.
Moore was also a driving force behind the gathering of the band's alumni in Dublin in 2005 for a tribute concert set to coincide with the unveiling of a statue of Phil Lynott in the city. At that show Moore was on fire, and it was obvious from start to finish how much he loved the Thin Lizzy catalog.
