What is magical about Rory Gallagher is that nobody has ever said a bad word about him. He ll be remembered as a very modest, humble man as well as being a guitar virtuoso. What I also like is the respect he gets from other great guitar players like Brian May, Slash and Alex Lifeson to name a few. Rory was taken all to soon but his legacy will live on forever. RIP Rory G.
I just watched a documentary about him, and the local music store owner said he was ...’ well raised’. Even as a teenager he would come into the store and was soft spoken and polite. I thought that was quite telling.♥️
Gerry has a chip on his shoulder regarding Rory….oddly…..hell say all the right stuff but after i read his Riding Shot Gun i realized he was an enabler one and two not a true friend in the least. A real shame if you ask me….went to to the Rory fest and saw band of friends realizing he did it for show business and income. Odd guy if you ask me. Just so strange ….maybe like an envious brother more or less
@@MothGirl007oh really?? Omg, now i like both of them even more! I grew up listening Nirvana, now i'm more blues guy.. And Rory, oh man, what a wonderful guy, what a player, i have no words.. God bless you all folks, peace❤️hail hail rocknroll!
I think Rory was a guy that was truly a "one of" A true great who was uncomfortable hearing himself talk about music as opposed to playing it. In this type of setting and with the questions from the interviewers I think alot of people would feel uncomfortable. RIP Rory....your music and your actions will always live on in our hearts!
I did this interview, some 35 years ago now. What really hits me was just how quiet and shy he was off air. That is until he picked up a guitar (he had one with him) and he immediately became more "himself". Such a gentleman, self effacing for sure, but a lovely person. And so greatly missed
Ahhhh, he always comes across as so humble and unassuming for such a great musician. Kind, polite and sweet. I just love the guy. He left us way way way too early.
So unassuming and humble, what a contrast to the fake it till you make it crap they call music today, this man was dripping with talent, one of the greatest ever, the world is a lesser place due to his passing.😐
Seems like a lovely bloke always polite on interviews and what a brilliant guitarist one of the best and some how never got to see him live a true raw blues player shear talent just born to play watch him kids these days thats how to play never be another rory rip you will be always be remembered
R.I.P Rory,i love you with all my heart.so nice to see someone who is not only a sublime musician but a genuine human being;down to Earth,humble,personable...bless him
To be fair, He didn't die from liver failure. He succumbed to a MRSA infection that he contracted after his liver transplant. Alcohol isn't the only reason why someone's liver fails, you know.
MRSA or another one….Cytomegalovirus..CMT…..its one that is harbored in a lot of peoples systems and not causing trouble but with transplants it can and does come alive and over populate. I researched it. Liver failure too. Your right regarding alcohol ….it was the large amount of tylenol he was prescribed….its OTC now and also the steroid shots he was given (which is why he got bloated ) crush the immune system. Apparently he had too much pain from tendonitus….his hands mostly. His brother said he was nearly at deaths door when he finally consented to hospital. You can be sure he was in hell. Insomnia is a side effect of liver function loss as well as other things….no escape is what comes to mind. Just hell. Its such an outrage to me. Plus liver failure brings on changes to personality…..and most unpleasant thought …bad breath! Just cant imagine that but its how it goes. Drinking does the changes to personality too. I read he quit two around one year sober times per Gerry In Riding Shotgun. And hed ask others suffering who got sober how do you do it and always be concerned and kind to anyone who was in ill health but not talk about his own ill health and drinking gone south. Tylenol and steroids ( and mixing) killed him more than alcohol. I know the drill regarding alcohol. Had to quit it took over a decade!
The funny thing is that the presenters and audience are embedded in the 1980s kitsch whereas Rory Gallagher isn't. Rory Gallagher actually appears modern and with it whereas everthing else in the program is stuck in the 80s. It shows that Rory was other worldly he will never date.
Rory was timeless, he had his own style that suited him perfectly, didn't have to follow any fashion. Especially not those awful garish colors of the 1980s.
His music was a wonderful mixture of blues, rock and Irish influences. Listen to 'Crest of a Wave' and that soaring slide guitar, ' Hands Off' live at Reading Festival where he breaks out into a joyous Irish jig. Music that makes you happy to be alive.
Saw him in concert just the once and ive never forgotten the experience. Out of all the hundreds of bands ive watched(and still watch) over the last 50+ years, that gig was one of the very special ones.
Ich war einmal mit einem Mädchen aus, das Rod D'Aths Freundin war. Sie erzählte mir oft, wie unbedingt lieblich, höflich, freundlich und vornehm Herr Gallagher war.
People in the audience are given the opportunity to pose Rory with any number of questions. Despite this, he still gets asked a mundane question like "how much did it cost ye to refresh defender". Fucks sake lads.Money,money,money would ye fuck off
Hi Los Comunistas , there are 4 books about Rory out till now. Be sure, he was a drinking man ! Even his Brother Donal, said he was. I never seen him drunk on stage. But from 1987 on he had really problems with his health. And he knew. But the worse thing was, that he took meds-cocktails. Paracetamol as injections and other bad things like steroids. He thought, it would help to be on stage like he was in earlier times. But it didn`t work. I love Rory! He trusted too much in doctors. An Angel !
Rory....so humble and awsome ! he`s simply the best ! Shame on all his so called doctors. Gave that man steroids knowing he was a drinking guy. They all belong in jail !!
As much as I like Rory, you can't really blame the doctors. Everybody knows that alcohol and medicine do not go well together and that alcohol isn't really good for one's health even without the medicine. That is if he even drank that much. Some say that he did, others claim that he didn't.
What is magical about Rory Gallagher is that nobody has ever said a bad word about him. He ll be remembered as a very modest, humble man as well as being a guitar virtuoso. What I also like is the respect he gets from other great guitar players like Brian May, Slash and Alex Lifeson to name a few. Rory was taken all to soon but his legacy will live on forever.

He was also a favorite of Kurt Cobain.
The greatest

He always seemed to have an air of sadness about him. A true blues man. The greatest...
So true ! I always feel it when I look at him. Wierd .
Not when he was playing exuded joy
He was usually hung over. Alcohol is a depressant.
I think Rory was a guy that was truly a "one of" A true great who was uncomfortable hearing himself talk about music as opposed to playing it.
In this type of setting and with the questions from the interviewers I think alot of people would feel uncomfortable.

A kind, humble, beautiful man, Oh, and The greatest Irish guitar player ever. RIP Rory.....🎸☘
And that's a good list 🙆

+cinni sweet me too cinni,if he weren't 20 years older than me i'd have married him.

RORY FOR EVER

Unfortunately it is the main reason though... and the man did drink too much.
Doctors fucked up, bastards, that shouldn't have happened. Liver transplant is routine now
@@oldgit4260 il va être bien pourrie à l'intérieure ...
@@oldgit4260 I don't think the doctors failed in operating his liver. MRSA infection wasn't likely caused by their incompetence.
MRSA or another one….Cytomegalovirus..CMT…..its one that is harbored in a lot of peoples systems and not causing trouble but with transplants it can and does come alive and over populate. I researched it. Liver failure too.

Rory ! Rory ! Rory ! Rory !Rory ! Rory !Rory ! Rory !Rory ! Rory !
A true guitar hero

So true - class never goes out of style
Great observation I totally agree
Rory was timeless, he had his own style that suited him perfectly, didn't have to follow any fashion. Especially not those awful garish colors of the 1980s.
They probably were never out of Dublin 4 yaaww !
Rory = check shirt n jeans 👖👍
His music was a wonderful mixture of blues, rock and Irish influences. Listen to 'Crest of a Wave' and that soaring slide guitar, ' Hands Off' live at Reading Festival where he breaks out into a joyous Irish jig. Music that makes you happy to be alive.
Great find. Thanks s million!
Never have I seen a more accomplished, passionate, natural guitarist...ever. Miss him and his music forever, play on my Angel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Adore Rory
You die 2 times frist time you stop breathing second time no one here ON earth says your name so RORY you will live for ever MARGO 👍❤❤❤💋💞🍀
The king of blues and guitars. What a humble man
Saw him in concert just the once and ive never forgotten the experience. Out of all the hundreds of bands ive watched(and still watch) over the last 50+ years, that gig was one of the very special ones.
I love you rory, happy birthday.
Really enjoyed this, thank you!
He seems more at ease with interviews with age and here especially in his country ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just found Rory ..... This album was the first one I listened to... "Failsafe Day" and "Road to Hell" are my new favorite songs
You have great times ahead of listening🙆
Good on you. I love his albums so much. I just played them all back to back a few days ago. So good. I am so sad he’s gone.
He played the guitar like a violinist
Legend.
Thanks for another gem
low key but brilliant
Ich war einmal mit einem Mädchen aus, das Rod D'Aths Freundin war. Sie erzählte mir oft, wie unbedingt lieblich, höflich, freundlich und vornehm Herr Gallagher war.
Rory Gallagher on Borderline - 1988💕
People in the audience are given the opportunity to pose Rory with any number of questions.
Despite this, he still gets asked a mundane question like "how much did it cost ye to refresh defender".
Fucks sake lads.Money,money,money would ye fuck off

What an ordinary fella he was he would have hated today's attention seeking world.
Irish rock bands are great!
They are, and we are very proud of them🙆
We are proud of our national treasure 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪..........our blues man !!
@@emmetnolan7081 And you should be.
fantastic upload!
"Dont want to end up like Gary Glitter". Never a truer word spoken.
yeah Gary Glitter is, to use Rory's own words "High profile" at least he is in Scotland Yard
I dig that tie he's got
saw him live in 1980
wow great upload
gentleman
a great tv show i had a privelige to be on...
Irish Pirate Radio Alan?
When he was asked about his low profile, he quipped that if you go high-profile, you end up like Garry Glitter...no offense. LOL.
Missed..................
I remember this.
SRV was killed not long after this. Rory was the Dude!
Yup, died in an air accident, no wonder Rory was nervous about flying.. Rock on Rory, we love you.
apparently he was not a big drinker at all, theres a fairly decent article about him on wiki
I never saw Rory dressed in costume....It seems to me so different ❤
He had chronic tendonitis in his arms, was taking steroid/paracetamol combination which together with the drink, caused liver failure.
Btw, why are the interviewers constantly cutting him off?
Buddy Gillie because they are trying to cover as many questions as possible before a scheduled commercial break
Rory....so humble and awsome ! he`s simply the best !
Shame on all his so called doctors. Gave that man steroids knowing he was a drinking guy. They all belong in jail !!
As much as I like Rory, you can't really blame the doctors. Everybody knows that alcohol and medicine do not go well together and that alcohol isn't really good for one's health even without the medicine. That is if he even drank that much. Some say that he did, others claim that he didn't.
Too bad he didn't got to famous in the US...... They would be amazed...
is his voice echoey for anyone else? or is it my PC?
Me too on iPad
+Paul Jones thankyou Paul...makes it a wee bit annoying to listen to hey? :\
Sure is ... pretty sure the sound engineers recording the program have dialed up too much reverb
The good questions came from the AUDIENCE!!!
How much did it cost you to re-fret the Fender? lol
Killer question, rest of the audience are like... Whaaa ? 😁
Haha, yea! "If you got to ask Rory Gallagher a one question, what would it be?" At least it was original! I sure didn't expect that question.
Each of those old frets would bring 50£ today.
sound recorded in an air craft hangar ?
Sorry....being ungrateful ...its great .
Theres Maria Doyle..now Doyle Kennedy..Was this before or after she was in the Commintments FIlm ???
A couple years before.
god, for some reason always thought the opposite. You know i saw him live here in new zealand in 1980? Even had the poster from the tour
How much to refret the strat? Strange question to ask a blues legend! The guy round 4:20 looks like Eddie Van Halen!
il faut traduire en français
R O C K
Christ he looks like James McAvoy in this.
Agreed, I also see in many, many pictures,and live in Belfast jan 4th 1984 he can be mistaken for John Cusack(actor)
Boy George looks young here
He must have felt like a plonker sitting in those stupid chairs :)
Wasn't that chick in the Commitments??
Zepster77 Yes,Maria Doyle Kennedy.
Yeah she was.
She was a fox
Well he DID die from liver failure- (Sleeping meds and alcohol)
Rory Rumfelt they were actually anxiety pills for his fear of flying
@@tohtori666 I heard they were anti-depressants!
Hey Rumfelt, anxiety pils bro fear of flying he had it all his life.........fact!!!!
Liver failure just like Lou Reed -- him also born March 2nd. Do we have a CONSPIRACY...?
