The incredible Billy Merziotis!!!!, the only person in this world who can play extremely similar to the greatest of all times, Gary Moore. My eternal respect for keeping Gary Moore alive.
Absolutely amazing, the world is a better place when guitarists like Billy Merziotis live among us. He makes a Les Paul singing and breathing, it is such a beautiful playing that I won't compare it to Gary Moore's every person is absolutely unique.
Just when I thought I could corner the tribute market with my Gary skills I realised that the voice is important too.. this guy nails Gary's range and timbre perfectly. Drat! Ok bonamassa.. damn he can sing too! A self tribute it is then..
Billy, that is pretty feckin good. I'm a massive gary fan and for me nobody will ever come close,however, what you do is as close as it gets. Well done mate
Just found you “Billy”this is a Gary Moore masterpiece that breaks my heart & soul!!It describes my “sad-empty childhood”Gary Moore touches my heart& mind like no other! You’ve done him great 👍 justice…….finding this “ Master Musician “ at my age(73)has awakened me again! I regret it took me Soo long…….Thank you Billy!! I’ll be back!!🥰💜Nanny Stick Sister!
This is an outstanding performance Billy.I first saw Gary Moore live 14th February 1984 Glasgow Apollo when I was 17 years old.To have been in that audience for the recording of We Want Moore is a memory that will stay with me forever.
Estaba sentado en mi oficina trabajando mientras escuchaba algunas canciones del maestro Gary Moore y me salio esto... Solo hay una palabra para esto: "EXTRAORDINARIO" Que calidad de músicos !. Saludos desde Chile
By surprise I stumbled over this clip and now I need someone who helps me to close my mouth again what a stellar performance! As a long term Gary Moore Fan and guitar player I can just say you deserve to play on a large stage in front of thousands of Gary Moore Fans in your hands the K.H. Les Paul, you know how to use her!!!
Το τραγούδι του Gary empty rooms όταν το άκουσα για πρώτη φορά κάπου στο 1982 αν θυμάμαι καλά έχει χαράξει τά αισθήματα μου. Βασίλη ειλικρινά όταν σε άκουσα για πρώτη φορά νά τό τραγουδάς με έκανες να κλαίω αναπολώντας το παρελθόν. Χιλιάδες μπράβο σου αξίζουν.
This is by fare THE BEST cover of any Gary Moore song ever.. Very nice played by the band and the choir. Excellent guitar and a outstanding vibrato you got man... (Very close to Garys.. (An extra thumbs up for that)) Greetings from one of the biggest Gary Moore fans in scandinavia (Denmark)..
You are living the dream playing in the shadows of the greatest guitarist ever! And your sound is spot on, awsome job billy, this is a masterpiece of a song and you did it justice!
Stumbled upon this cover , the man would have been proud ,emotion and feeling not many folk even attempt to put as much as themselves into someone else's song.
Looking forward to seeing you play again Billy. This version from 1987 Stockholm concert my fave and you play it brilliantly. Thanks for keeping this music alive x
