Gary Moore, Brian May, and others talk about Rory Gallagher

[Gonzoidz]

Did he ever play with Moore?

[roryg4ever]

Hi whats the song at 2.30?

[SlumminAngel]

@roryg4ever Hi, it's 'What's Going On' from the Taste - On The Boards album.

[roryg4ever]

@SlumminAngel thanks

[emmetwhitey]

Why Can Nobody Pronounce Gallagher Right ? lol its pronounced Gala-Her

[roryg4ever]

r n r hall of fame,rolling stone lists-not needed.all they are is pomp and superficial glory.we fans love rory that is all that matters

[topperboy1]

I saw a greatest guitarists documentary on the telly, Rory wasnt mentioned!!!

Guys like Hank Marvin and Bert Weedon were !! For fucks sake they werent in the same class!!!

[yorkshiretractors]

GARY MOORE WAS THE BIGGEST TWAT IN MUSIC

[cwmiller2006]

ive been a rory fan for 35 years,, i was lucky enough to have seen him about 6 times and i NEVER knew he played the sax !!!

[Boots59100]

Number 11?

[hobieslug45]

screw the r&r hall of fame bunch of ass holes too late to vote him in and keep your credibility

[Donegaldan]

A genius

[ThePowerslave94]

i bet gary moore and rory gallagher are jammin up in heaven right now... RIP to amazing musicans!! i hope my generation will eventually recononize these legends... until then ill try to do that

[billamp]

If Rory isn't in the Rock Hall of Fame, who's in it?

[sindrenord89]

R.I.P Gary and Rory, to of the world greatest guitar players ever, and i didn't get to see any of them....

[missatomickitten]

also what set rory apart from others was his manner.he had huge amounts of class,never a rude or unkind word,unpretentious and unassuming.the people will always warm to a person as down to earth as rory.i salute him

[103121]

Hall of fame yes. I saw him more than 10 times in California in the 1970's-80's. No one was better live.

[ralphhealey]

Rory, was the first irish Rock Star, U2 and others following the Gallagher example, unfortunately, Rory, never, the recognition, appreciation and respect, in his live, he played the blues, from emotion, not for the money, Rory, on stage, was more than 1000% pure blues and rock energy, in the all time guitars hero list, the top 100, you do not find him, it is really to be ashamed, that Rory lost the, attention and respect, Rory is my all time favorit guitars hero, Ralph, from germany,

[curlysue27]

@ralphhealey I wonder if it was the fact that he was Irish that he didn't make it on that list?

[DirkjeA]

@ralphhealey  You forgot about Van Morrison......

[ralphhealey]

Rory, was the real rock guitar player, the best white blues player, simply the best,

his guitar bending, the finger vibrato, the sound full of flageolett tone,

the feedback between the Vox AC 30 and the 61 Stratocaster,

Rory never need big Plexi Marchall stags, and 100 of effects,

by the way, the Taste was the best Band, from Rory Gallagher,

John Wilson, defently the best drummer,

[ralphhealey]

Rory, was the real god, for blues and rock guitar, but even, Rory was the ultimate stage performer, Eric Clapton, forget it, he had the slow hand,

Stevie Ray Vaughan, you hear one song, it was allways the same,

Johnny Winter, and others of that time, did not have that power performence,

even, the new generation, of guitars players, like, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, did not have, that feeling and that power for the blues,

[ralphhealey]

I meet him first, in 1969, the Star Club in Hamburg, later 1970, in the music hall in Hamburg, the impression, a mighty, earthquake, I never saw a guitars player, like him, again, Rory, was the reason, for my first electric guitar experiment,

I bought 1970, a fender stratmodell, a rangemaster booster, a vox ac 30 top boost amplifier, but, I did not had the guitar player talent, from Rory,

by the way, the Taste was the best Band, from Rory Gallagher,

,

[motonekorg]

I was lucky enough to see Rory Gallagher live in Melbourne in the mid seventies, and will never forget the energy and enthusiasm he had on stage along with the band behind him. Truly an incredible performer and innovative bluesman. Still listening to his music today, God bless you Rory.. you're a legend

[leaba]

Rory's humility was matched only by the fire and genius of his work

[00dragonfly]

Rory was such an incredible talent.

[smoovegittar]

Rory was a one-off... there'll never be another like him.

[MrPozzoz]

WOW !!! I love Martin Carthy and Rory Gallagher , didnt know they knew eachother !

[Logankeller352]

you would thing gerry has a nice thin voice. but dayyum he sounds like a monster!!

[playmay35]

always with the great stuff! thnx Gary!

[oFIRESoHURTo]

whats the song at 2 : 27??

[arwc28]

What's Going On !

[ralphhealey]

@oFIRESoHURTo

at 2:27 - its "What`s going on" from 1969, it is from the studio album "on the boards"

but if you hear that song live, Rory and the stratocaster, burn like a fire,

[Logankeller352]

thx man

[64moog]

Rule of thumb, where theres a g before a h the g is silent.

[bluegreenius]

the man and his music are timeless!...rory fans everywhere play some for your kids...i have and they love it!...u know they deserve it !!!

[weezerpleaser18]

im with you knmurphy1 i hate it..respect the man in say him name right!

[knmurphy1]

ARRGGHH. I hate the way English people pronounce Gallagher - they say Gal-a-gur. It is an Irish name and should be pronounced Gal-ah-her. The secong "G" is silent. Listen to Gary Moore he prononunces it correctly (most of the time).

Good video thanks!

[backthisway]

Ooooooo .. I always thought nit was Roy Ig A Lagga >> how sill i am.

[Zepplica911]

RORY 4ever ....... It's is enough for this legend when a reporter asked Hendrix : "How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist ?" and the Voodoo Child response was : "Ask Rory Gallagher" .

[KyussWhitewater]

I'm pretty sure that actually didn't happen man.

[tvrulesnation]

that didnt happen (unfortunately) its a rumor where hendrix replies i dont know ask (insert guitarist name).

there isnt much proof of hendrix or Rory ever chatting, but they were at live festivals where artists would jam onstage in big groups, there is a VERY high chance that hendrix and rory jammed together (awesome as taht is)

but as for that quote, its pretty much false.

although i wouldnt put it past hendrix saying something like that.

rory was a legend (still is) spread his name

[grga888]

They never jammed together.

[ktel60]

That's credited to Jimi Hendrix on the Dick Cavett Show.

Host: " So how's it feel to be the greatest electric guitar player in the world?

JH: I dunno, ask Roy Buchanan""

Rory never put out less than 100% when onstage, unlike Roy.

[NegerSkrapaN]

@Zepplica911

hendrix didn't say that...

[Subhuman80]

Great stuff, thanks for posting.

[electrikfox]

I didn't expect that I could see such a wonderful vid.

thank you SA.

[seanlucky7]

thanks angel.great!

[southeaststreetracin]

go on cork

[breda83]

He was a proud Donegal man you fool

[moddedtunnel]

[ahjaysusno]

2:27 song is called "What's Goin' On". Amazing song.

[moddedtunnel]

thanks !

[SKYVOLTAGE]

"the most gentlemanly person you could ever meet", Brian May said that! Tears of Joy and Much Respect. Thanks for posting.

[ice9001]

Whats up with garys accent I thought he was from Belfast there isnt a hint of it in there Emerald Isle my ballocks remember were your from Gary .Rory never lost his accent . Still your the man but Rory was and is the king.

[anthonyinne]

hi sa,

not sure if understand all the technical on rorys amp and treble booster but thanks for sharing just a few great musicans talk about rory. One day at that great dining table, around will be others who shared these musicians love for Rory, and all his fans....you and me too.

what can i say but the journey here is just in the beginning when you have been so graced to have met him for only some short moments but forever imprinted on our minds.

how can i contact you?

[SlumminAngel]

Glad you enjoyed it. that dining table sounds good - "be sure to save a seat for me"!

You can contact me by PM if you like, just click on my name, then on 'send message' on my page.

[bjorninthe50s]

So many guitarists owe Rory a debt of gratitude including me. It's great to hear Brian May and Gary Moore singing his praises as well.

[joeat963]

Man, I`m glad I viewed this! It made me remember that I have a trebble booster, but I couldn`t remember where I`d put it. I just got off of the phone with my son, and he said he had it their with him, so I asked him to bring it over with him when he comes by next time, or else he`ll NEVER get to enjoy his old man playing just like Rory! lol

Thanks for sharing the view, sa.

[daviemcf]

"the most gentlemanly person you could ever meet", Brian May said that!

[SlumminAngel]

Yep, just about everybody who knew him says something like that. And as Jack Bruce said "He embodied honesty, in his playing, and in his life"! Have you ever noticed how people's voices change when they describe Rory? You can really hear the respect and admiration they had for him.

[44Alberto]

I think when rory was alive, he hasn't received all the recognition he deserved! He's on the top, together with the greatest rock/blues players of all time!

[daviemcf]

Thanks again SlumminAngel,a great tribute to the G man!!

[zoltancsillag]

I think it's from 2005! At least my disc mention the date 2005 April...

[SlumminAngel]

Whoops, sorry about that, it was indeed April 2005. I've fixed it now.

[Laffeylad]

Such an important tribute, thanks so much SlimminAingel. Pls say you got some more!

[SlumminAngel]

Hi Laffeylad, it was listening to your interview clips that reminded me about it. I should have the whole show somewhere, but it was a one hour show recorded for Rory's 10th anniversary, a mixture of music fading to little bits of conversation which might be difficult to edit into usable chunks. This part is a fair summary of the contributors and their feelings abvout Rory, but I'll go through it again when I get time and see what else I can come up with.

[SlumminAngel]

You're very welcome, I was looking through my files and realised a lot of people might not have heard it when it was broadcast.

[santacruezz]

Thank you for posting, great Tribute!
