Great guitarist and sad he's no longer with us. Also he was the owner of the famous Peter Green guitar "Greeny" ! Greeny is a 1959*Gibson Les Paul Standard, named after its first famous owner, Peter Green in 1964/5. He used it during his time in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and Fleetwood Mac, before selling it to Gary Moore in the early 1970s.Originally Posted by Macca

One of the youths from Metallica owns it now, according to Wikipedia anyway. Moore had to sell it to cover the cost of a cancelled tour.Great guitarist and sad he's no longer with us.

My favourite of his solo albums is still 'Back On The Streets.'

Got most of their albums on vinyl but only have a couple on CD so these days I have to rely on this compilation:
IMO one of the best bands of the 1970s and one of the most musically talented too.
