Title: Doesn't get much better than this
Post by: Will_D on May 05, 2013, 07:56:35 PM
A friend (yes I do have one) found a CD case in his cupboard the other day and guess what was in it?

Almost a complete collection of Rory Gallagher and Taste CDs ( 10 from RG and 4 from Taste )

So after archiving them for posterity on my hard drive its now IPA/APA/Black IPA and the best F***ing gitarist in the world.

Quote from Jimmi Hendix:

He was at a RG concert when a journo asked him "Whats it like being the best guitarist in the world?"

Jimmi replied "Ask him up on stage!"

I would say that the 2 had such different styles that you can say they both are the best. I preferred Rory for when I was drunk :D.

Am I the only person who'd take Gary Moore over RG?  ???

Rory was much better

I've around 100 or so Rory bootleg cds/dvds knocking about.

My Zeppelin collection is nearly 5 times that though....
