    Rory's Guitar Nr.1 : 1961 Sunburst Fender Stratocaster
    _________________________________________________________________
    William Rory Gallagher (2 March 1948 - 14 June 1995) was an Irish blues-rock multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and bandleader. Born in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, and raised in Cork.
    Gallagher recorded solo albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, after forming the band Taste during the late 1960s. A talented guitarist known for his charismatic performances and dedication to his craft, Gallagher's albums have sold in excess of 30 million copies worldwide.
    Gallagher received a liver transplant in 1995, but died of complications later that year in London, England at the age of 47

    I remember as a young teenager the first time I saw a clip of Rockpalast and he was the main act. It was the miserable early 70's Ireland when we had nothing and no-one. The only Irish guy out there doing things was Rory G. Seeing how respected he was by people outside Ireland (which was, at that time, a conservative, twisted culture in the grasp of state and church), was a breath of fresh air. He gave oxygen to many. Showed the way to many. His talent and importance cannot be underestimated. RIP Rory.

    Listening to Rory is like a breath of fresh air in a world where, in my opinion (and that's all this is), music in many ways has become benign, stagnant and uninteresting thanks in part to TV shows that foster the notion of becoming a rich star rather than becoming musicians who truly play from the heart and stay true to the music. Rory is a national treasure who's music will continue to stand the test of time and be cherished... because it is REAL.

    Gerry McAvoy always makes me smile. He always has so much energy and it's like he's always trying to play harder and faster and gets so caught up in it all and doesn't want the music to stop. I sometimes wonder what he would have been like playing lead guitar trying to keep up with Rory.
    Why oh why do people have to compare who was the best guitarist or the best drummer...(not including God in this) Rory to Clapton or Hendrix............John Bonham to Keith Moon or Ginger Baker etc etc etc yawn yawn f*&king yawn. Given the crap that is called music today we should be thankful for their contributions and legacy's. Given that Rory was such a humble musician he probably would have said the greatest guitarist was anybody but himself anyway.

      Guy Basil ........it’s a widely cited “myth” that has emerged since the new and renewed interest in Rory’s music, sounds nice but never happened. Jimi supposedly said this in a TV interview but I’ve seen that interview (and it’s now on UA-cam) and Jimi was clearly embarrassed when asked the question and humbly replied “How about the best guitarist sitting in this chair huh?” Besides Rory (have known and loved him since the Taste days) there are a whole host of guitarists this was *never* said about including the previously mentioned Terry Kath and (ZZ Top’s) Billy Gibbons who Jimi did compliment. I’m happy to stand corrected but to the best of my knowledge, everyone connected to Rory denies this was ever said. Only recently, I saw this quoted yet again in an online article, it’s gotten so out of hand that it’s now being documented as “fact” serving to provide nothing more than false history.

    I had no idea that Ted died!!! He was great with Rory and dire straits. Loved his drumming. I loved rod's drumming as well. Rory is just a sick player. Saw him three times in Montreal. 1974 with Rush and Nazareth. Biggest regret? Having to leave early because it was too loud for my date. After that, most of the concerts I attended I went alone. Gerry's bass playing is so good. Rory is beyond legend. He really loved what he did!!!! ❤️❤️

    His skills on guitar are so far off the charts they can't be measured iand that awesome signature tone is second to none. There's a handful of players that have a unique sound that is recognizable and strictly there own. He has his in spades. Most of the great players leave us way to soon. Thankfully they left us with a boatload of awesome music....

      Glenn Canale ......indeed (as I’ve also noted) Rory had *zero* interest in any “commercial” aspect of the music business and to have him in the RRHOF would be a *huge* disservice to the man’s memory. A petition has only recently begun to have Rory inducted into the BLUES Hall of Fame, please sign that one. This is the real thing - genuine Blues artists, many of whom inspired and innovated Rory so to my mind, that’s where this man belongs, amongst *his* heroes.
