Scars is the 15th studio album by Irish blues rock and hard rock guitarist and singer Gary Moore from 2002 and is named after the project band he formed in 2002 with ex- Skunk Anansie bassist Cass Lewis and former Primal Scream drummer Darrin Mooney. The band played in 2003 on several "Monsters Of Rock" performances. The studio album Scars assumes the known preference for Moor in Hard Rock played -style blues and blues rockbased pieces again on. All pieces on the album are original compositions, mostly by Gary Moore; others with the participation of the other band members. All pieces are recorded in the trio formation.
"Scars" means scars. Possibly this title of the album and the band alludes to both Moore's emotional scars and the scars on his face from a broken glass in a pub argument in the late 1970s while protecting his girlfriend from harassment wanted to.
With Just Can't Let You Go there is again a Moore-typical, slow and sedate ballad on the album, which ends in a "heavy" played bridge , which merges into a short, riff-like guitar solo in the second repetition, which in turn ends in a melodic-melancholy solo. The title Who Knows (What Tomorrow May Bring) is also a slow, melodic ballad that shows hard rock patterns with very heavy passages . The other pieces, on the other hand, are clear blues rock numbers that come along loud and hard in hard rock style. The Jimi Hendrix number Manic Depression is clearly remembered in World of Confusion , while Ball and Chain takes over some riffs from Hendrix ' Voodoo Child .
