Welcome!

Finally this years first GAZ issue
is finished!
I hope you will find it packed with
goddies and interesting stuff, especially since you had to wait so long
for this issue.
As I explain to you in the GAZ Newsflash that my work has been taking up most of my time during the 3 first months of this year. I hope this will improve during the next months, and I will try my best to have max 5 weeks between each issue. The more submissions you write the earlier the issues will be released. Some submissions are not included, due to that I have waiting for info to answer those mails. I hope you can wait :-))))
Otherwise the discography is updated with latest releases mentioned in this issue. The Lyrics pages was updated 7. February with all the Skid Row Lyrics, all the work is done by Arve Akervold, Co-Editor & The Lyrics Administrator. Hope you will enjoy them!
All of you waiting answers on your mails to me, you are not forgotten, but I will try to answer them soon as possible. I am very sorry for the delays, I hope you can forgive me for that.
It was very sad to hear the news about the death of Cozy Powell, Sunday 5th April. I have made a feature about Cozy, most of it are borrowed by the independent.

Gary Moore has parted with Virgin Records, and their last release will be the 'Best Of' planned for release in autumn this year. There are no news if Gary has found a new record company yet!
Gary Moore will be in the studios for 3 months starting right after easter to record demos for possible a new album. So we can't expect anything this year!
Taken from the Glenn Hughes E-zine
'Coast To Coast' #32, I thought this could be interesting for you!
From: Kursea 732 <Kursea732@aol.com>
At Damien's request, I made sure to
ask Glenn about his favorite albums from 1997, and it didn't take Glenn
long to name the following two:
1. Gary Moore- Dark Days In
Paradise
2. Erykah Badu- Baduism
I asked Glenn if he had listened to
more '97 releases then therse, and he was sure that he had, but these were
the only two he could think of off the top of his head that really made
an impression on him.

2. COLLECTORS NEWS
------------------
Two new bootlegs been released! One
with Gary Moore called 'Around The Next Frontier '97' taken from Germany
July '97 and Belgium '97. Other one is with
Colosseum II a 2CD called 'Electric
Dance' taken from BBC 15. Aug '77 - 3 trks, Cologone 29. Oct '77 - 7 trks
on disc One, disc two - 8 trks from Birmingham
16. Match 1976 and the sound quality
on this boot is excellent! The Birminham show is a Audience recording and
the 1 disc is soundboard. For details for tracks on these two CD check
out the Discography pages!
Have you ever thought of a Gary Moore and Arnold Connections??? For those of you that haven't seen the scan on the 'News' section on the GAZ Web-Page. The scan taken from the CBS Compilation from 1970 with Skid Row featuring a track called 'An Awful Lot Of Woman'
The Picture Gallery is extended with 4 new pages of 3 pictures/covers each!!!! Even with the two different colored CD's of the Walking By Myself CD-Singles! So Check out the Web-Page!
In Australia they have released an 2CD Package with 'Still Got The Blues' & 'After Hours', See Discography CD-page for details
Another bootleg released with Jack Bruce called 'Featuring Five Axemen' - AS20 - All Of Us - ITA - 1997, including Gary Moore with 'Sitting On The Top Of The World' from Cities Of The Heart 2CD. Another interesting song is one called 'Smiles & Grins' (Don't know if that the correct title) as we know as 'City Of Gold' with BBM. So this is another live version of this song before Gary added new guitar parts.
Another Volume of 'Philip - The Man & His Music VOL VII - Snowed In Cork' is out, but nothing with Gary just Snowy White.
Jimmy Nail has released a 'Best Of' called 'The Nail File', featuring the Gary track 'Absent Friends'. Jimmy Nail commented in the booklet how they got Gary to play on this track and it goes like this: 'George Harrison suggested I ask Gary Moore to put some guitar on it, so I did and he generously agreed, recording his stuff up at Geroge's studio'
Gary Moore appeared in the 'The Guitar Magazine' Christmas Issue on a picture together with BB King and Peter Green backstage at the BB-King UK Tour, as Peter Green's Splinter Group was the support 2. November 1997.
As most die-hard collectors has discovered that most of the Virgin 7" single releases with Gary from 'After The War' to 'Walking By Myself' exists with Black Paper Label and Silver Coloured label. So you need one of each of those copies two get it complete!
The first CD-R Bootleg with Gary has been released recently, called 'The Rareties' Featuring Live tracks from Donnington Moster Of Rock '84: Murder In The Skies/Cold Hearted/Victims Of The Future/Rockin' & Rollin'/Parisienne Walkways, Two unreleased songs from 'Back On The Streets' Session: Road To Pain & Track Ten and 4 Demos from 'Wild Frontier': Over The Hills And Far Away/Wild Frontier/Takle A Little Time/The LOner - Here it's only Wild Frontier that has a change from the album. It's 15 sec longer and backing vocal is different.
In Japan they has release a 'Best Of' CD with Gary on Virgin/EMI. Featuring tracks: after the war/cold day in hell/hold on to love/i have found my love in you/need your love so bad/oh pretty woman/one day/one good reason/out in the fields/over the hills and far away/parisienne walkways(live)/rockin' every night/still got the blues/walking by myself/where in the world/wild frontier

of Gary Husband last November. The filming consisted of Gary's Moore &
Husband with Jack Bruce performing the following tracks: White Room, Politician,
Sunshine of Your Love, I Feel Free, N.S.U., Sleepy Time Time. Everyone
had a very enjoyable day, with everyone on good form. The video is due
out sometime during July.

Personal message to Gary:
Artists take new directions, blah,

up. I suppose ya gotta make a living, but......
I've been a fan since Corridors of Power. "Sunset" is one of my favorites of all time as is "So Far Away." Your blues cd's were fantastic and after "Blues For Greeny" I expected more. What happened? Did you just get tired of it or what? The real Gary Moore came through on these cd's. I want "moore."

Hi, Ole-Johan:
Reading the email messages tonight, I noticed some frustration on the part of my fellow Americans because they can't get "Dark Days In Paradise". I FINALLY got it today, no problem, but it took about FOUR weeks....and $27.00, which is a lot for a cd....Please let my fellow GARY-DEPRIVED Americans know that they can get this album, but they have to order it through a music store which deals in imports as a matter of course .
DDIP is really a very interesting album, and I have just heard it once tonight. I'll let you know what I think after I've heard it a few times. So, far, I think It's great, and very different!

Comment from Ole-Johan:
It's seems very unlikely that Virgin
US will release 'Dark Days In Paradise' in the US. Especially when Gary
& Virgin has parted. They have even closed down the Gary Moore Web-Page
on Virgin US Web-Site

This may be hard for some of you to accept: In late summer '87, the Gary Moore band did a free show at a club on Route 9 in Latham, New York (a suburb of Albany). As you'd expect it was brilliant! Luckily, the Wild Frontier video helps me re-live the experience on occasion. GARY, PLEASE COME BACK! I'll gladly pay for a ticket.

Greetings, Ole-Johan, from San Fromncisco, California!
I promised I would let you know what I think of "Dark Days in Paradise", which I finally got about a month ago.
So what do I think of Gary's new album??
In a word: "WOW!"
This is a GREAT album!! Lots of great music, great lyrics. Lots of emotions. I really think it's one of Gary's best, if not the best album he's ever done. It makes you think, makes you remember, it may even make you cry.
This is not an album you turn on just to have some music playing while you talk to your spouse (or whoever), or while you're on the phone, etc. It's just too good to serve as background music. Gary has been criticized a lot in these WEB pages for this album, and I can't figure out why. For me, "Dark Days..." is yet another example of his versatility, and his formidable talents. He's always tried different styles and different approaches to music, and I am glad he has. It keeps us (and him) sharp and fresh. He's absolutely the greatest.
This is just a beautiful album. We both love it, and can't get enough of it.
Thank you, Gary, for this wonderful album.

Subject: comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Ole!
Well! I've got somthing to say besides
the 2CD box that is going to be released!
I don't understand one thing, why does Gary Moore management do all these "the best" projects! One was "Blues and Ballads", I don't think it was successful, well it was among those non-fan listeners! But what about those like me fans! There are many of them! I hope I Am not alone about what I am about to say!
So, what I wan to say is: why can't
Gary Moore Management make suck project like "Besides of Gary Moore", of
"The Best Of Besides". I am pretty sure this kind of stuff will be of interest!
Cause for example in my case, I heard some besides from TV or Radio, and
I'd like to get some of things like, One Day, Devil......and all these
which were never released under ALBUM title. So, can you at least pass
this message to Management? I am sure it will be of Interest, thanks. Additionally,
who's gonna wanna buy these 2CD-box! Those non-fans I agree, but if I have
all album releases, why should I buy this CD for?
thanks for listening. bye! Vlad
Comment from Ole-Johan:
This had nothing to do with Gary's
Management, but solely an Virgin 'thing'. But it's mainly up to Gary to
accept the tracks to feature on the Best Of CD.

Subject: GAZ--Best Of
Hello from San Fromncisco...
Compiling a "Best Of Gary Moore" list was not easy. I could have kept working on this and still not be 100% happy. There must be dozens of possible variations. Anyway, I don't know if my list has all or even most of Gary's best songs on it--I just included some personal favorites:
Back on the Streets (version from album
of the same name) 4.22
Don't Take Me For a Loser 5:45
Cold Day in Hell (live version) 5:34
Intro & Separate Ways (video version)
11:50
I Have Found My Love in You 4:53
The Messiah Will Come Again 7:29
Out in the Fields 4:17
LIsten to Your Heartbeat 4:31
Hold on to Love 4:27
Texas Strut 4:50
Naked Flame 6:05
- 64:03
All Your Love 3:39
Over the Hills and Far Away 5:19
Wild Frontier 4:13
The Sky is Crying 8:50
One Good Reason 3:02
Thunder Rising 5:40
Story of the Blues 6:40
Always There For You 4:33
Blood of Emeralds 8:18
Take a Little Time 4:04
Further on up the Road 5:35
Once in a LIfetime 4:18
- 64:11
Some obvious omissions: I had "Parisienne Walkways" on here until my husband saw it and said "Oh, God, not again." We've got 6 versions/duplicates of this song. Same with "Empty Rooms". So, we took them off. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Actually, some of the songs we kept on our list are also in danger of over-exposure, but not quite as bad, yet.
I included "Naked Flame", a personal favorite. Even though it's off the BBM album, Gary's signature and fingerprints are all over it.
I wish they would include some songs that haven't been on any of Gary's albums. This would give me a good reason to buy it.

Subject: Submission
Dear Ole,
First I would like to thank my good
friend Micheal for letting me put this on the Gaz fanzie,as I am not on
the net yet. let me introduce meself,my name is Dean 'ted'Frost,I live
in South Australia in a seaside town of Goolwa. I am 34 years old and have
been into hard rock since 1976( pitty i missed the early 70s). I will tell
you that i am a huge DEEP PURPLE fan,but when I first heard Gary Moore
in about 82' victims album I fell hookline and sinker for Garys music,it
was the way he put his heart and soul into his guitar playing and his words
of each song. So in other words he shot straight to number 2 in my faverite
artist lit. He also sits with Ritchie Blackmore as my best guitarist list.
I will admit I like the pre blues stuff best,my faverite would beVictims
and After the war,but Still got the Blues was a good album,it was a shock
to here a blues album but it was good to see Gary doing his own thing,it
take a special kind to do this. Then AFTER HOURS came out,again hoping
for arock album but no it was not, at this time I found out that the blues
starts to sound the same, so at this time I'm getting bored with Gary,
but I still lived in hope. Then came BLUES ALIVE all I can say that this
album is fantastic,it's one of my altime fav.albums,Gary really is
alive on this album. BLUES FOR GREENY did'nt do anything for me at all,i
can understand what PETER GREEN ment to Gary,it's just like IAN GILLAN
is my hero but he's not everybodys cup of tea.
So brigs me to DDIP,wy wife brought it home for me when it got released over here in oz.Which i did'nt know about,which is normal over here for thi type of thing if you are not techno,dance etc.they dont want to know. So the first thing I noticed was the cover,it did'nt look like a blues album, at this stage I got over excited,you know like being invited to bed with your wife and another woman(I wish). So you could imagine the disapiontment when I played it ,I could'nt belive what I was hearing ,I thought that they put the wrong cd in the case,but no it was Garys voice. I let it ply throug once and that's all I could bear listernung to. so into the rack it went for about 2 to 3 month's ,then I lent it to a mate of mine and he really liked it.So I gave it another listern this time with an open mind and I started to like it alot and I mean the whole album,to me it shows how gifted a musican he really is. My fav. songs are Cold wind blows,I have found my love for you,Like angles, Were did love wrong and Business as usual. There's alot of Gary on this album,you just have to open your mind and let the mood's of Gary flow into your heart and soul. SO to all of you out there in GAZLAND,please give it another go!!!.So all Ican say to you Gary is well done and my hats off to you and I am looking forward to the next one. To all you people that winge about missing Gary's tour's,bare in mind that we have'nt seen him down in OZ since 73' with THIN LIZZY,so for 25 year's we have been starved of this tallent,thank your lucky stars!!!!.
Well Ole I know i've been dribbling a bit but I have never been on the net before and after reading your news letter I got excited.Also I noticed that alot of fan can't get RUN FOR COVER and WILD FRONTIER well they are still avalible in OZ, so if antbody is intrested let me know.
Jst one thing before we go,do you think the girl on DDIP look's like the one on back on yhe streets album.
ALSO WHEN THE HELL IS GARY COMING DOWN
UNDER,I WOULDNT CARE IF HE DID NURSERY RYMES .

Subject: Gary Moore - Run For Cover
Ole-Johan,
I would like to say thank you for helping in my search for the Gary Moore CD "Run For Cover". When I first stumbled onto GAZ, I suspected that if anyone out there in the world would be able to help me, it would be you!
As I write this E-Mail, I am listening to my favorite albums ever recorded by Mr. Moore. It thrills me to no end to have this ablum back in my collection.
Your ability to find this album overseas
as quickly as you did is proof of your admiration for the music of Gary
Moore in all of its incarnations. Early Moore recordings such as
Run For Cover are impossible to find here in the States.
I will keep my eyes peeled for any
of the recordings on you wish list. If I should come across any of
them, you will be the first person I contact.
Please include this testimonial with any correspondence as reference to your fine efforts. If GAZ has a letters area online, please feel free to print this.
With Much Thanks,
Joe Balusik, III

Nice page, light on the info for the
past few months. This is a real concern in that HOW did this CD sell? We
know that Japan will buy regardless. They LOVE Him. America?? They don't
have a clue as to who Gary Moore is. So very sad. I first heard Moore at
a friends house. "Black Rose" I knew of Thin Lizzy BUT i didn't know of
any player like this. I was floored but it got lost along the way. Kind
of forgot about Him. Leslie West, Robin Trower Jeff Beck they WERE my players
of the time. It didn't resurface until Corridors of Power hit. I remember
the day I held that LP in my hand like it was yesterday. I KNEW I held
GOLD. It was this Erie feeling that my Musical life would be forever changed.
Don't laugh for i'm serious. Corridors showed me Gall, Balls, Guts, Imagination,
True Genius, Romanticism and it evoked my heart. It talked to me in so
many ways that other guitarists never had. I became hooked on this man's
music. Out of the blue the most gorgeous guitar piece i have yet to hear
in my life came along. it's called "Dartmour" It's on "Octopus" You know
it.*SMILE* There lingers much of "The loner" within it. Let us not forget
"The Rattler" How many people have HEARD these songs?? Europe knows
of them. It all went right over this countries head. Even the people in
the know. Van halen was emerging, Blackmore was peaking creatively. It
was mostly all a rehash at best in the mid eighties as far as the rock
guitar was concerned except for this one man from Ireland. But what was
happening to him? Next comes "Victims of the Future" called a metal
album by many.*LOL* It's rock pure and simple. I'd take these songs apart
one by one but it would take far to long. The one thing I will say is that
"Teenage Idol" was the first & probably only place where Moore seemed
to let me down creatively. Now, was this song a lark? Probably. Or was
this meant to be a single in Europe? There's just something about this
that never worked for me. If I heard it right now I'd Probably love it.
It's been years since hearing it. Now think about this. WHAT is the one
constant that has always remained with this very special man? His inactivity
between recordings. Does He do world tours. Not since those days. The one
constant seems to be called 18 months. THAT is about what his albums have
come in at. A very slow but steady rate. This is not fair to us.*LOL* It's
not. This is the Jimi hendrix of our time. This is Beethoven now! This
is a Musical Genius pure and simple. Gee does this guy like Moore or what?
He talks to my HEART. When You listen to Moore You hear more with less.
Does that make sense? But you do. His time with Albert King did much for
him. Look what the man did for King in bringing Him back to the masses.
This wasn't about marketing. It wasn't a gimmick. This was from His heart.
He LOVED Albert King deeply. I feel that THIS was Moores most creative
period and THAT is saying allot because He's never stagnated in this area.
Rereading this letter I see that I passed over Lynott's death and Wild
frontier didn't I? For another time my friend. Those two subjects will
take quite some time in telling you my feelings on. As will the Blues period,
Jack Bruce*SMILE*, and the new CD. Must make tracks. You've got the best
Moore home page going but lets Hear from the man himself. It's possible.
Give it a shot. Yes Moore might be hard to work with but He's not hard
to talk to this I'm sure of. A very humble man.
Keep up the good work.

he's played so many styles and in so many bands that he doesn't remember
himself, from trash-metal till jazz. But, he's famous that he's still playing
blues, however without "his soul" in it"
that's it, I hoped it was more or less
interesting...

Subject: Help! - 'Emerald Aisles'
video?
Hi there,
I am currently subscribed to the GAZ, and am trying to locate 'Emerald Aisles' video.
I have tried many video shops (via the web) in the UK, but they tell me it is out of print. So, what I am wondering is if there is somewhere that you personally know of or if others out there know where I can get this video from?
I live in New Zealand, so if the video is PAL that would be best, but if NTSC is the only version that people can find - then that is fine, our video can play that too.
If you want to put this in the next GAZ that will be fine too - the more help the better.
Thanks for yor help.

Colin 'Cozy' Powell

Died: 5th April 1998
From http:\\www.independent.co.uk\

Obituary - Cozy Powell
ROCK musicians can seem like mercenaries, ready to jumpship at the slightest hint of a better gig somewhere else. Cozy Powell, the powerhouse drummer who died in a car crash on Sunday night, was the peripatetic instrumentalist par excellence.
In a career spanning over 30 years, he played with rock heavyweights like Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, the Michael Schenker Group, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, Queen's Brian May, Don Airey, Gary Moore and more recently guested with Peter Green's Splinter Group. In the mid-Seventies, he also scored three Top Twenty hits with strong tracks featuring his trademark thumping style.
Powell started out in the Sixties with bands like the Sorcerers, Ace Kefford Stand and Big Bertha, with whom he developed a fearsome reputation. In 1971, he joined the second line-up of the Jeff Beck Group which, along with the former Yardbirds guitarist, also featured the bassist Clive Chapman, the vocalist Bobby Tench (later with Streetwalkers and Van Morrison) and the keyboardist Max Middleton (currently with Chris Rea).
They recorded two fine albums, Jeff Beck Group and Rough and Ready, but even with the help of the legendary Booker T. & the MGs' guitarist Steve Cropper on the second, their fusion of the Stax and Motown sounds didn't quite connect with the general public.
Powell then formed Bedlam and also found time to appear on various releases by acts (Julie Felix, Hot Chocolate, Donovan) connected with the producer Mickie Most. The Rak Records supremo noticed Cozy Powell's impressive, thundering playing which wasn't dissimilar to the sound Most had fashioned for the glitter rock queen Suzi Quatro.
In 1973, Most helped him become a bona fide star with "Dance with the Devil", a Top Three single in Britain. The following year, Powell charted again with "The Man in Black" and "Na Na Na" but soon realised that his forte was very much in being the hired hand, the power behind a mighty frontman.
In 1975, the guitarist Ritchie Blackmore quit Deep Purple to form Rainbow, but soon grew disillusioned with his new outfit. When he sacked the whole band apart from the vocalist Ronnie Dio, Powell proved a natural recruit on drums. He stayed for five years, the most successful period of Rainbow's career, playing on hits like "Since You've Been Gone" and "All Night Long" as well as classic gonzo rock albums Long Live Rock'n'Roll and On Stage.
His tour-de-force drum solos became a highlight of the band's concerts alongside Blackmore's virtuoso lead, Roger Glover's bass-playing and Graham Bonnet's soaring vocals (the latter two had by 1978 become part of an umpteenth Rainbow line-up in a game of musical chairs for which Cozy Powell seemed predestined. The drummer's peregrinations certainly kept the archivist and Rock Family Trees compiler Pete Frame busy).
Always on the look-out for a better offer, Powell joined the Michael Schenker Group at the end of 1980 but his liaison with the former Scorpions guitarist proved short-lived. Two years later, he hooked up with another former Deep Purple member, the vocalist David Coverdale, in a stellar line-up of Whitesnake which also featured many musicians (the bass-player Neil Murray, the keyboardist Jon Lord) who regularly guested on Powell's instrumental albums of the period.
By 1985, Powell was a free agent again, part of a coterie of drummers who guested on Roger Daltrey's excellent Under a Raging Moon (a tribute to the unique style of the late Who drummer Keith Moon). He then accepted an ill-fated invitation to replace the percussionist Carl Palmer and become part of the progressive Emerson, Lake & Powell. In 1989, he hooked up with a Black Sabbath line-up which was living up to its reputation as the inspiration for Rob Reiner's Spinal Tap film parody.
Powell only found his musical feet again in the Nineties behind Queen axeman Brian May and more recently with Peter Green's Splinter Group. The former Fleetwood Mac guitarist had emerged from self- imposed exile and silence and gone back to his blues roots and until recently Powell was much involved in the band's extensive touring around Europe. Powell had also just recorded material with the Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen and was due to join him on an American tour which was cancelled after he crashed his bike a few weeks ago.
Speed always had a fascination for Cozy Powell. For a while in the Seventies, he was a Formula Three driver for Hitachi and also rode bikes incredibly fast. He was once cautioned for doing 130mph on a Japanese bike, but an understanding Oxford policeman asked him for an autograph and marked down the speed to 99mph. Otherwise, he would have lost his licence.
Rock drummers are often the butt of jokes from other musicians and critics alike. But Cozy Powell took a recent appearance on Chris Evans's TFI Friday in his stride and gave as good as he got from the host.
Mickie Most, the glitter rock svengali who produced Powell's Seventies solo hits, paid him this tribute: "Musically, he was one of the best drummers we've ever had in this country. He was a great guy and always had a perfect disposition. We had a lot of laughs and he was great fun."
