He has to be one of, if not, the most talented rock guitarist ever. As far as his "rough looks"......he never was a pretty boy or has won any beauty contests. I only cared what comes out of his Les Paul. If he was a "looker" or flashy, then he would have been more appreciated here in the US. Sad, but true. Todays so called "greats" couldn't hold a candle to him. Not even close. The Satriani/cookie cutter clones are nothing but boring, speed scales over and over and had no feeling or perfect tone like Moore. RIP Gary :(
