    Rory Gallagher for definite

    That Gallagher footage is from the first night RTÉ broadcast in colour (gig was the Savoy in Limerick). It was also the drummer Rod De'Ath's first gig with Rory and he was totally busking it as he was filling in at the last minute for Wilgar Campbell.

      @jamesbradshaw3389 I agree to a certain point go outside and ask young people who's Rory most won't know but they'd know hendrix or page but not Rory that's what I mean he's held in high regard by people who seen him and the musicians of the time but somehow he was forgotten by the mainstream

      @@donjohn2695 Apparently after his performance at the Isle of Wight Festival (his last ever, and one he wasn't happy with), a journalist asked him how it felt to be the world's best guitarist. Jimi replied 'I don't know, why don't you ask Rory Gallagher'. Taste had turned in a blistering set which had gone down very well. I can't give you links or chapter and verse, but that's the story. I'm sure you can find more info if you try hard enough.

    How about Rory Galagher Eric Bell, John Fogerty CCR, Gary Moore, Jimi Hendricks, Kurt Cobain, Scott Gorham, Johnny Fean, Bruce Springsteen, all Irish and all of great Irish stock and yes even Jimi. I almost put Bob Dylan in because of his Clancey Broths & Tommy Maken connections.

    • @ranica47
      @ranica47 11 місяців тому +2

      Playing in an Irish band does not make one Irish, Scott Gorham will always be Canadian, likewise Springsteen, Fogerty, Cobain and Hendrix (with an X!) may have some Irish blood but this does not make them Irish. It's bad enough when the Brits try to claim Irish people as British, Katie Taylor for example, without us doing the same.

    Video title is a bit misleading. Should be the best of pre 1990s Ireland based guitarists, Seems to only go up to the end of the 80s and no mention of any of beyond that, pity.

    .the title is a bit dumb, obviously theres no criteria by which you can be judged to be the best "irish" guitarist ever .....it would depend on a judgement of practical ability ...but mostly it depends on the the musical taste of the listener .. Rory Gallagher could make the guitar talk only in a way that he could "speak" .. but he probably couldnt have played complicated piece of complicated spanish classical music ... likewise John Feeley may not have been able to play like Rory Gallagher ..and certainly could not sound like him ..... A better title for video may have been "great guitar players from Ireland" ...because Steve Cooney isnt irish ...but he's a great Guitarist ..that Jazz boy is good Stewart.... 1:09
