Skid Row was Gary Moore's first band. This band was heavily influenced by Peter Green, who actually spotted Gary playing the guitar and introduced him to a record company. The band was comprised of Gary Moore on guitar and vocals, Bruce "Brush" Shiels on Bass, Noel Bridgeman (currently with Van Morrison) on drums with Phil Lynott on vocals for a brief period. The band released the album "Skid", in 1970. A second LP, entitled "34 hours" - entitled so because it took them a mere 34 hours to record it - was released in 1971. Gary left the band (he was replaced by Paul Chapman) and later played with Thin Lizzy. The rest of their recorded material was released in 1990 and '91, a time when Gary released his "Still Got The Blues" LP, which saw him return to the pure blues style he played in the early '70s, as opposed to the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal he played through the late '70s until 1990.
