Rip,he was an regular member of thin lizzy,his solo work was great too.
More an irregular member, Phil Lynott used to call on him as and when he was required (usually after Phil had sacked someone). IIRC he replaced Eric Bell (who left not sacked) and Midge Ure!! at various times.
Whilst I don't mind Parisian Walkways,yes I know he's done a lot moore (see what I did!), I'm guessing once again I'll soon be sick of hearing that tune.
Mainly because I brought his greatest hits album as a teen to try and impress my dad whilst on holiday. The rest of which was spent with the song on auto repeat with my dad sipping his whisky and nodding his head saying 'Ah thats real music lad'.
What started out as a quite interesting new musical exploration, quickly turned old and just a little stale.

One of the finest
RIP Gary, one of the finest ever...
:(
Sad news! Will have to tune into Classic Rock now. Also get out me Strat and play some of his songs I think.
Of course I meant Planet Rock (couldn't remember the name of the station for a moment).

RIP Gary.
A great guitarist, he'll be sadly missed.
RIP Gary.
I was just discussing him and Thin Lizzy with my mates at the pub last night...
