saturn Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Of those two, I will always pick SRV. Gary was great and I love some of the tones he got with his LP, but I sometimes find his playing too over-the-top and not always in context with the song he's playing on. Like every song is just an excuse for his blues-shredding. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somewhat agree...but then again 'context ' of the song is subjective and different for each player and how they wish to interpret it. I enjoy other people's visions,even if not my own.

stein Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Please, people stop with who is best. No one is best. There is your favorite that is all. Stop Stop Stop. It can not be proven who is best. Both are great and different. Seen Gary Moore open for Rush. Sadly never seen SRV. I agree, except SRV had more talent, better tone, crafted better songs, had more style and played/recorded with more taste and intensity, not to mention, a more interesting unique delivery than Gary Moore did.

RowdyMoon Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I wouldn't say one is better over the other but I prefer SRV...altho I have seen SRV live and haven't seen Gary Moore live so it may be slightly biased.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 FZ Fan is right. THERE IS NO BEST. But of the two, I would choose to listen to SRV rather then Gary Moore most of the time. That said, I have no SRV albums and 2 GM ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Both are great and different. Seen Gary Moore open for Rush. Sadly never seen SRV. I was a kid when SRV played at our local university's Fall Fest. It was a free concert. Cyndi Lauper played just before him (yeah that was strange). All the teenie bop fans didn't stick around for SRV. My buddy and I crawled in the mud in between them as they were leaving, and we got right against the stage. I was literally 5 feet from SRV the entire time he played. When I came home I wanted to throw my guitar out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmis Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 As said before, there are no Best player, there are just subjective opinions. Of the two i´ve always prefered SRV, GM have some tops but SRV always delivered, and he´s tone was so.... hm, true But i always come back to Billy Gibbons as my fave, i just love what he squeeze out of the Guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I have to agree with FZ and Merciful, it's a contest no one can ever win. The two guys mentioned are indeed two of my favorites and they are absolutely legends, but there are so many incredible players. Only thing I find sad is that so many of them left too soon for one reason or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Natural Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I like SRV's style and playing much better than Gary Moore's. Moore had the cooler guitar, but I prefer SRV's playing. I got to see the Peter Green guitar one year at the Dallas or Arlington (I don't remember which) guitar show. There was a little hand-written sign in the open guitar case that said, "Do not touch". I touched the guitar anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Got to be Gary Moore for me. I dig SRV playing, but I have always been more impressed by Gary's style, plus I prefer LP's to Strats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
