pindowskivich What kills me is, if you look around 2:02 you can see what he's using for a slide. It looks like a piece of 3/4" copper pipe. Rory never relied on fancy gadgets, foot petals or effects. Just him and his guitar. I defy anyone these days to perform that bare, and be THAT good. I will be the first in line to buy your CD. 03/18/2010 - 03:32:00
Bartendertastic " so jimi What is it like being the best guitar player in the world"? to which Mr. Hendrix replied " i dunno , ask Rory gallagher " Nice !! 03/08/2010 - 21:00:26
LondonKumamoto wow he was at the same gig Hendrix played , wonder if they met... Hendrix must have been taking note of Rory... rory was very underrated 03/01/2010 - 09:43:40
dillioneberle i hate to say people are "born to play" as no one (that i know of) has been born with a guitar in their hands. however, i can say ment to play, and Rory is one of them. I'm not big into listening to the blues, although i really enjoy the blues, and respect these guys more than almost any other musician, so this is the first time i've ever heard Rory, but he blew my mind from the first few notes. He is deffinately one of the greats. 02/23/2010 - 06:12:08
MrMolfish I saw Rory five or six times in concert in the 70s He was a genius. RIP Rory and I will never forget 02/20/2010 - 23:59:31
Gallagherfreak100 Rory, Duane Allman, and Elmore James; best slide guitarists ever. Best blues rock guitarist ever? Rory, of course. 02/18/2010 - 15:29:56
ShinOuri man im tired of you .... PLEASE ...in every video you worship SRV ...im like 1) SRV 2) Gallagher 3) Hendrix and you even frustrate me ...DAMN MAN GET OUT OF YOUR BASEMENT ...i love SRV too but listening only to one guy's music wont help you ...music is music ... 02/16/2010 - 18:35:24
MrSkeff @Dogheadj yes i have Eric is awesome and has got so much soul! slide just gets into your soul ya know? i think so many people were influenced by rory, his heart and soul is just so inspiring. Joe bonamassa is another guitarist who i think is fantastic and he cites rory as having an impact on his playing. i think just about every modern day guitar hero does! 02/10/2010 - 22:10:55
Dogheadj Yeah, Rory's the real deal. Have you checked out Eric Sardinas? He also smokes slide. Sounds like he must have been influenced by Rory, too. 02/07/2010 - 17:58:40
MrSkeff love the telecaster! i have one and cant play it no where near as good as rory! 02/06/2010 - 01:22:55

a8anasios666 thats a straight 5 stars! 12/23/2009 - 13:02:47
cbappa1 Way to read Wikipedia 12/20/2009 - 23:42:36
keepitwitmine ha he looks like he could be the baby of robert plant and jimmy page, but plays like he was raised by robert johnson 12/11/2009 - 08:16:56
lovelyflares The Best Blues Guitarist since Robert Johnson , even Clapton and Page would agree.. I think. Taken from us at 44 , but never forgotten. Played that strat till the day he died. A '61 one of the first ever to be imported to Ireland bought from crowleys music store Cork. A true legend. RIP. 12/10/2009 - 21:13:48
