Rory G --- the man from Ballyshannon (ticket, blues, metal)

Trollheart · 12-04-2008, 05:55 PM

Anyone like to join me in praising the man who did for the blues what Iron Maiden did for metal? No nonsense from Rory, he was straight down the line, and I don't think you ever saw a tighter, more professional combo than his trio. No frills, no gimmicks, no mad, indulgent solos, just pure bluesy rock and roll, through and through.
A sad loss to the music world. We'll miss ya, bluesman!
Favourite Rory track? Personally, I love Shin Kicker: just the feeling it gives of out-there-dont-care-tooling-along-on-a-hog-wind-in-your-hair is unbeatable, and a real driving song!
There'll never be another Rory Gallagher....
