Jimi Hendrix was cited in a 1969 interview shortly after Woodstock: Interviewer: "So Jimi, what's it like to be the best guitarist in the world?" Jimi: "I don't know, ask Rory Gallagher".[37][38] from Wikipedia Rory Gallagher page
the srv video is funny the fat woman wrecks his guitar hes got another and another and another i bet srv went to the toilet with his guitars and rory is a legend and is often underrated but i think hed agree he was not srv srv was as good as hendrix and is the only guitarist since hendrix to be up to his level rory was very close to this level
@shredmaster100 I think trying to compare these two artists to each other or to anyone else is a fruitless endeavor. Both were masters of the instruments, both were passionate, and both were better than each other, only in different ways. Please enjoy them for who they are and don't worry about comparisons.
yeah i know what you mean comparisons between 2 different guitarists never get resolved because its like if u compare hendrix to clapton hendrix was in your face rock where as clapton is a stand back blues player and never liked being a frontman so its impossible to compare them
seen that one before m8 if i remeber rightly hendrix joins clapton on stage and plays a version of a song called killing floor and clapton just gets blown away i do think that stevie ray vaughan could give hendrix a run for his money srv was the blues god
Cada uno tiene lo suyo, rory es de la escuela del viejo blues por eso no es tan veloz como stevie pero virtuoso es sin lugar a dudas, tiene un mejor slide que stevie y toca con todos los dedos, estevie es un groso no hay duda, pero no duden de que rory tambien lo es, son dos grosos de verdad y de gustarme mas me gusta mas rory a tenido siempre buenos bateristas y un bajista de la hostia, ademas de un tecladista muy bueno, tocaba el saxo la cimitara, el piano la armonica un musico completo
@AlienWorkshopSk8tr you know nothing about rockin blues.where do you think SRV got some of his influence from.Do some research before you make yourself look like a fuckin douchebag......douchebag.
@AlienWorkshopSk8tr only the greatest guitar players that ever walked the planet Hendrix was once asked what's it like being the best guitarist in the world his reply was YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK RORY
@MegaPotterboy Oh please, this is such a hoax. Never was said by Hendrix. Was made up by some journalist and repeated by so many ppl that it got a life of its own. Even Rory's brother Donald said it never happened. There is no interview on tv, radio or newspaper, where this is to be found. Even the links someone put on Wikipedia is hearsay from some bookreviewer. It is a nice story, but nothing more than a story and ppl should stop just being silly and repeating things.
@MegaPotterboy I have my doubts about the significance of that alleged Hendrix quote, if it was actually real. Sounds like Hendrix not wanting to come accross a total cock rather than the result of hours of methodical contemplation. In any case, I'm sure there's a list of people Hendrix said similar things about- certainly Clapton, and probably Buddy Guy... I've not seen a top drawer guitarist interviewed yet who didn't talk up someone else more than themselves.
@AlienWorkshopSk8tr ...... You have been leading a sheltered existence , far from the sound of 1970's blues recreated from original recording interests of earliest recorded blues. Reason you don't know him is he never sold out to the USA Music Markets to sell his albums .... He stayed far away from hollywoodish career .... The Germans and Swiss bought up his entertaining spirit on stage and 30 million records later it's all said and done by 1995 .... where you been ... ?
@rotagen5 I don't know why people have to always tear one down to build the other one up. Neither was a "one trick pony". If anybody thinks they were then you need to look up more of their stuff or GET THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR EARS!
Gallagher over all! Of course...
