Gary Moore
Gary Moore has been described as a total virtuoso, yet another alumnus of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. He had success with several bands and as a solo artist. He had eleven Top 40 solo releases in the UK as a recording artist. In 1993, to record a song, he also played with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, all officially from Cream. Unfortunately, at the age of 58 in 2011, Moore died in his sleep from a heart attack.
Tony Iommi
One of the Black Sabbath founding members is Tony Iommi. His playing style was affected after an event in a warehouse he operated in as a youth. The tips of his middle and ring fingers were lost in his right hand. He then went on to become one of the best rock guitarists of all time.
