[dumont624]

très bon !!!

[tomislavKZ]

Brute force indeed!



[roaringwaterbay]

brute force and ignorance . . . oh, i see it's a song about police and government.

[MrPnew1]

planesx12 - opinions are like arse holes "there's a million of em in the worrld"

[planesx12]

@MrPnew1 Yup and singers like Rory are like assholes, there's a million of them with crap flying everywhere.

[jhonnyjhomey]

@planesx12 hey homo , chew a fat turd

[planesx12]

Someone should have told Rory that he shouldn't sing. His voice sounds like shit through a desk fan. There's a reason he doesn't make it on RS top 100 guitarists too.

[rduhoo]

@planesx12 Spoken like a true Bieber fan.

[nwleeuw]

@planesx12 You're deaf, blind and hopeless, get a life and stop buying RS magazine.

[planesx12]

@nwleeuw While your taking a sharp hook and grinding it through sheet rock, pour shit on it to lube it up and you have Rory singing.

[1skullduggery]

@nwleeuw yeah, really. their critics have always sucked. bunch of elitists and non musicians. whenever you read a rolling stone critic use the term '12 bar blues', you could tell right away the guy had no idea what the fuck he was talking about. a snippet of an early review of van halen, read: "california band that grinds out a variety of variations on the basic "louie louie" thump theme". lol. but to them, robert johnson was and still is the most technically proficient guitarist ever. lol.

[F66kYou]

@planesx12 Rolling liberal stone you mean. That zine sucks ass! So who care's? Opinions are like assholes and they top the cake!

[roryg4ever]

@planesx12 sure there is.he was too good for it haha

[basicaa]

I had the prvilege of seeing Rory was -- he was opening for someone -- don't remember who. He blew it off the map and we left after he played. That was enough music for one night -- any night.

[Alishhh4]

bloody hell! when the caption came up saying 'he died in 1995...' I burst into tears.

[muppy1100]

LAUNDROMAT WAS THE SHIT !!!!

[steira21]

cheers rory, somewhere in heaven

[SuperMiro73]

dam you rory

[VoyageChansons]

i like Rory, great guitarist i discover in the seventies

[begijnenstraat]

I have seen a lot of guitarplayers play like Clapton, Hendrix, Page, Blackmore ( all great guitarplayers ), but I have never seen someone playing like Rory ....anybody....

Best wishes to 2012 for everybody !

Greetings from Antwerp!

[kickniko]

R.I.P. Rory... That means, Return If Possible, man! Please do something and return.

[chimbolo89]

Must'v been so easy back then. You can play a few good scales as a white person and be worshiped.

[snodvod]

@chimbolo89 Aweful comment

[co69lm1]

@chimbolo89 Dont forget that one of those who thought he was the greatest was a black man called Hendrix

[bornwithoutwarning]

@chimbolo89 grow up you simpleton.

[yugang08]

@chimbolo89 with a comment like yours, 1 wonders if u are familiar with his body of work at all or just seen this 1 video of rory and based your entire opinion of rory off of it. I can see u like srv, and as much as i love vaughan...he had nothing on rory when it came to the guitar. Not skills,licks, riffs,solos, improv, SCALES and certainly not showmanship. Just saying.

[ROCKIVANHOE]

RORY...WISH YOU WERE HERE...

[pixie1974]

Sorry people but if you want to bicker about Page and Beck please go to their videos...... these 4.44 mins belong to my god!!! ... RIP Rory from a very proud Donegal man

[arquestro]

there are no best guitarists of our beloved rock-stars - they just have friendly atmosphere and don't have such big holywar about who is the best

[PestControl02]

awesome!

[kwedds]

Fortunate to have seen Rory twice. Great concerts!

But please, Page the guitarists ever? I love Jimmy Page, but he's not even on the same level as the very best out there. Just look at some of your great jazz fusion players. And Hendix? The best lack player? Come on, Hendrix was by far the more innovative, sonically superior of the two. For his time there was no one better.  But this is about Gallagher, and it's true, one of the forgotten heros of the electric, blues, guitar!

[dictator54]

Why is it that all the true greats of the 60's thru 90's didn't get to a ripe old age it's a true shame ,but on the other hand i can see they probally lived a life time thru the passion of there music

[StringBitch1]

i'm fortunate to have seen Rory many times; TV never did the guy any justice; awesome presence???

[Harryn58]

Man that glass slide sounds different than metal

[janiakowska]

one of the greatest... a fantastic bluesman !

[phdubald]

rip rory gallagher. he was one of the greatest guitarists

[ondafritz]

We have lost too many greats such as Rory. The world is a lonelier place without these talents.

[huskvarsm]

For those who have never listened to rory much but like the style try and get hold of a cd titled calling card its a great album enjoy.

[huskvarsm]

He will always be in the top 5 rock/blues guitarists in the world ever he knew his blues history like clapton did that made a colossal difference to his playing and writing a true master of the stratocaster.r.i.p rory god bless you.

[mrjohn1964]

Beside a pint of Guinness, Rory is the best thing of Ireland.

[Harryn58]

What is the song about? Government corruption?

[Harryn58]

His slide guitar is really amazing!

[Bluesbarri]

I love Stevie and you always hear about all these guys but nobody seems to remember Rory, when I was coming up he was the man, none of these bullshit titles calling him God and what not, he was just one hell of a guitar player and played various styles, so if you don't know him START LISTENING ! you may be surprised

[AnnihilatingAngel]

Fine player. Looks like Jimmy Page.

[BordiniBlues85]

whow I LOVE IT!!

[lsharpe69]

Rory played an important role in my young rock-and-roll life, He wasn't Hendrix or Zeppelin to be sure, but his brand of rock was simply that, his brand. Rory rocked. His history will always play out in my history of rock and roll. You will always be part of that elite group Rory. May you live forever! I don't know, but I hope you are still among us. If you aren't, I don't want to know.

[mrjohn1964]

My prefered blues rock guitarrist ever!

Fabulous irish touch!

[GLAMDUTCHESS]

Ooooh yes yes

[Valdor13]

yep, down at the lost and found...

[swavgav90]

thats some shithot guitaring

[missatomickitten]

mum i was born in the wrong decade!

rip rory

[charlietip1]

allways the top of my top ten !

[DCHurlford1]

Just to add, i take it this is from the "Rock Goes To College" series!? I have the Gillan one on dvd , hopefully they'll release this as well.

[DCHurlford1]

Superb stuff! Love Rory's harder edged sound from the late 70's (both Photo Finish and Top Priority with SAHB's Ted McKenna on drums were Top Class). His earlier and later albums were great as well. Cheers for posting.

[Valdor13]

That's my bread and butter man, straight up.

[Harryn58]

@Valdor13 Totally agree with that buddy!! Damn this guy can play!

[jmb92555]

from ~3:00 on...dayum...just amazing playing

[Newyorkischaos]

Killed it...Gerry and Ted kicked ass too!!!

[tgbluesky]

RIP Rory!

[seanlucky7]

roryis undoubtedly the master

[SteveJeNuke]

incredible!

[85AGUY]

in so many areas we have made so much progress since the 70s but they had the old grey whistle test and i grew up with smash hits and a sell out version of top of the pops....nuff said! gallagher = master.

[vivaldi01]

Everyone remembers Page, Claptout and Hendrix but Rory Gallagher WAS the daddy.

oh yes.

[DCHurlford1]

@vivaldi01 For me it would be a Photo Finish (pardon the pun) between Rory and Blackmore. However i do appreciate loads of other players as well.

[vivaldi01]

@DCHurlford1

For me, Blackmore was more of a show-off.

Loved DP and early Rainbow but Ritchie was nowhere near as gifted as Rory .

The only person I 've seen with the same natural effortless abilty; is Richard Thomson.

[DCHurlford1]

@vivaldi01 Yeah Rory certainly had plenty of that (love the rawness to some of his playing). It was actually an old work colleague of mine who got me into his music back in the late 90's (for which i will be eternally grateful). Ah......Richard Thomson, that name rings a bell. I'm also a fan of Gerry Rafferty's (RIP) music , i'm sure he played on a track or two on his Night Owl album.

[vivaldi01]

@DCHurlford1

it's a shame you probably never had the pleasure of seeing Rory live.

Interesting you mention Gerry Rafferty (indeed Richard Thomson played on Night Owl) ; both Rafferty & Gallagher were hugely talented, both shunned the fame- spotlight and both sadly died in the same way.

[DCHurlford1]

@vivaldi01 Yes it would have been fabulous to have seen Rory in all his 70's glory. However i was only 5 in '79 and even if i'd been able to go to a show i wouldn't have seen very much, ha ha. Was lucky enough to see Gerry live, back in '93. He was superb and his band were Top Drawer (Hugh Burns and seasoned american session player Jerry Donahue on guitars ctc). Such a shame, both Rory and Gerry were talented decent human beings but the demon drink got hold from an early age and never let go.

[ManagFTW66]

@vivaldi01 indeed he was the man..wow..

[PBANDSNOW]

@vivaldi01 You cant even put them together. Page is probably the greatest guitarist ever, Clapton the greatest white blues guitarist, Hendrix the best black rock guitarist. Rory was a strange genetic mutation of all of them, that makes him so amazing, unique, and incomparable.

[RustedStem]

@PBANDSNOW Page better than Beck???? Come on.

[PBANDSNOW]

@RustedStem Yes, Page is better than Beck. Page also taught Beck pretty much everything he knows when they were kids.

[RustedStem]

@PBANDSNOW Your retarded. Page was,isnt and will never be the greatest guitar player. Thats one title that can be fought over and never won.

[Hlotar]

@PBANDSNOW Ohrly? So why in Yardbirds Page played bass, while Beck was lead guitarist?

[PBANDSNOW]

@Hlotar

Part 1

Eric Clapton originally joined the Yardbird in 1963, when he left, he asked Page to take his place, Page refused because he was doing so well playing sessions, so Page recommended his childhood friend Beck. In 1968, after Page started getting call's to do elevator music, he quit being a session guitarist, and a week later when Paul Samual-Smith quit the Yardbirds, Page joined on bass. After a few months, Jeff recommended moving Page to guitar (a move he still regrets).

[PBANDSNOW]

@Hlotar

Part 2:

They had a two guitarist lineup from 1966-67, when Beck was fired from the band (they didn't need him anymore, so they left him at a gas station in the Southern U.S.) and Page continued as lead guitarist.

Next time, do just a little bit of homework before you make a comment like that.

[Hlotar]

@PBANDSNOW Thx for reproof, I always thought he left yardbirds to start solo career or something like that, never knew he was fired. Aldhough as a guitarist I whouldn't call Page the best guitarist ever. His technical skill is "only" very good and things like tone and feeling are very subjecive.

[jrc604]

@PBANDSNOW

Page better than Beck? HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HA­H-HAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jrc604]

@PBANDSNOW

Page better than Beck?!!! HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-!!­!!!!!!!!!

[JARDA107]

@vivaldi01 We will remember him!!

[gromshit101]

fucking awseome.

[flathead59]

He was great!!!
