Good ear! Yes, Slash is a big Rory fan, as is Brian May, the Edge, Johnny Marr, Vivian Campbell and many others. This is a classic Rory Gallagher piece but by no means really shows off his guitar chops. Try checking out "Moonchild" performed in 1982 at Rockpalast in Loreley. Or a more blusey piece such as "Calling Card" from his 1977 Hammersmith Odeon performance. Rory was a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who passed up the chance to joing the Rolling Stones and never sought fame and fortune. For him, it was always about the music. Please check out more of his extensive catalog! Thanks.

As a fellow Irish man. Rory was incredibly. Met him on a few occasions. As he was a good friend of Henry Mclough. Henry who played with Paul McCartney. Henry was a friend of a friend.Rory was a very humble and quiet guy. Not up his own backside like most guitarist then and now. Be well my friend and keep enjoying, Rory.

There are some great interviews with people on KZfaq about Rory. Brian May went to see him in 1969 at the Marquee. Asked him afterwards how he got his sound- Rory brought him over to his amp and showed him (Vox AC30 and Trelble Booster pedal). Rush toured with him in 1974, and he showed Alex Lifeson how to do pinch harmonics ( which Slash also copied). Jonny Marr learned how to play by obsessively listening to and learning Rory’s “Irish Tour ‘74” live album. Joe Bonamassa opened both of his London shows a few years back playing Rory’s Guitar (loaned to him by Rory’s family), and playing Rory’s song “ Cradle Rock”. Other admirers include Vivian Campbell and Mick Jagger (who wanted Rory to join the Stones after Mick Taylor left). A VASTLY underrated guitarist and performer, and a big influence on many guitarists.

Slash got to share the stage with Rory in California when Slash was just starting out. They then hung out until dawn, playing. Slash admits that he learned a lot that night. Check out early Rory! Gerry McAvoy played bass with Rory for about 30 years, Bullfrog Blues, Moonchild, anything from Montrose are all worth checking out.

Saw Rory in 73 opening up for Deep Purple when they were peaking . he blew the roof off the place and after his set he did an encore and we were standing on our chairs screaming for another encore which he did but we wanted more..Rory made it very difficult for Deep Purple that night to come on after him.

Thanks for reacting to Rory, I hope you will continue to dig deeper into his music - with 11 studio and 3 live albums, plus loads of videos from his many televised performances, there's plenty to choose from! Here are a few suggestions to be going on with... Walk On Hot Coals - The Old Grey Whistle Test 1973 Bullfrog Blues - The Old Grey Whistle Test 1976 Calling Card - Hammersmith 1977 Do You Read Me - Rock Goes to College 1979 Tattooed Lady - Rockpalast 1979 I Wonder Who - Belfast 1984 Shadow Play - Belfast 1984

I'm discovering what rock'n roll is. And I just found the source of it all. That source is called Rory Gallagher. Could someone explain to me why he is not so well known? And another question: Does he sing and play like Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, Angus Young... does he imitate and take inspiration from them or were they inspired by Rory Gallagher ? Rory Gallagher is the source from which all guitarists came. Rory Gallagher is above all guitarists out there. That is totally true.

@roboi2241 3 ай бұрын

Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Page and Peter Green came before Rory Gallagher. Do some research before making statements like that. They're all 1960s artists, Rory didn't come to prominence until the 1970s.

@GWard-hz5wj Ай бұрын

@roboi2241 robo u need to go back yourself & correct your statements. Rory started age 9 winning local talent shows in Ireland. Age 15 he quit school & started touring with the local showbands. 1966 he formed the band Taste which had a huge following in Europe. They had a regular scheduled repeated gig at the Marqee in London which is where Brian May saw them. Brian was quite young & speaks about Rory very candidly & how they sneaked in to see him. This is on You Tube. Watch for yourself.They were one of the bands who opened up at the infamous Isle of Wight Festival 1970 which was larger than Woodstock & they were called back for 5 encores. That's where Jimi Hendrix saw Rory. Jimi played that same festival. Yes Rory was around. U have just somehow been unaware.

@roboi2241 Ай бұрын

@@GWard-hz5wj I don't think Hendrix, Clapton etc were twiddling about with a guitar waiting for a 9 year old prodigy in Ireland to show them what to do with it. What are you talking about? All those guitarists were years older than Rory and playing guitar since childhood themselves. The first commenter made the preposterous statement that 'Rory Gallagher is the source from which all guitarists came'. The Isle of Wight festival in 1970 was Hendrix last uk performance two weeks before his death. Taste like Free who also played the 1970 IoW festival were predominantly a band who rode on the coattails of heavy rock pioneered by Cream and Hendrix as did Zeppelin and Deep Purple. Don't try and make out Rory predates these artists or was ahead of the game, he didn't and they kicked the door down for him and his contemporaries who found commercial fame in the 1970s.

Just to bust the myth- Jimi Hendrix also reportedly said that Terry Kath was the best. Einstein also reportedly claimed that several other scientists were smarter than him. It's just a myth that fanboys indulge in. Jimi often praised other guitarists so if he did say that Rory was better than him I think he was just being nice. Having said that Rory is a GREAT guitarist. He might be underrated by the general pubic but guitar players now how good he is. He was a little limited in musical style but for fierce rock blues he's among the very best.

Rory was so intense in concert, I'm don't know if Hendrix really made that quote. I've heard he said the same about Billy Gibbons and Terry Kath. To me the only player like Rory was Stevie Ray Vaughan. Green day. No ,I don't think so. There might be all kinds of great music that you would love from 67 to 73 rock blues kicked ass. It went out the window as cocaine took over from psychedelics. Then MTV completely bought out the whole thing trading Modanna for Leslie West or Robin Trower. Seattle scene changed things for a few years and now most music is just hyped up garbage.
