ARCH ENEMY/CARCASS Guitarist Pays Tribute To GARY MOORE

February 9, 2011

Michael Amott (ARCH ENEMY, SPIRITUAL BEGGARS, CARCASS) has released the following statement to U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine regarding the passing of legendary guitarist Gary Moore:

"Growing up in the '80s in Sweden, you couldn't avoid Gary Moore. His Celtic hard-rock material of that era was massively popular here.

"As a guitar player, he had a huge influence on the European scene, and certainly on myself. America had Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen; we had Gary Moore and Michael Schenker!

"There are so many Gary Moore-isms in ARCH ENEMY's music… and that is something we are very proud of!

"Thank you for the music.

"R.I.P., Gary."
