Sorry, …
Sorry, Taildragger51 is correct. Rory’s liver was damaged by long-term use of prescribed medication. According to his brother he was NOT the heavy drinker he was rumoured to be. In fact he was careful to avoid the excesses indulged in by many of his peers. Rory’s death was a tragedy, but to me the way in which the memory of such a rare combination of talent and good sense is being warped by rumour,speculation and gossip is a far worse tragedy. He is being robbed of his personality and humanity.

Alright, i said i …
Alright, i said i wasn’t lookin for an argument when i said I preferred Rory to SRV and some nobhead sent me a message about how i was a retard that knew nothing about music!
TBH i just found it funny!I make it clear that they both are excellent but i prefer Rory, and he mouths off. Some low lifes are just looking for reasons to impose their ignorance upon other people i guess!
Peace.
srv was flashy, but …
srv was flashy, but nonetheless great, and remains overrated, even more so due to his early death (RIP). rory on the other hand, didnt appeal to the public eye as much, but was more raw. Overall, id say rory was better
Rory was voted …
Rory was voted rythm and blues greatest guitarist by NME, if my memory serves me well, it was in 1966 or was it 1967. Anyway we have lost a legion. RIP.

One of the greatest users of the Tele, and guitar in general!
Lucky guy, …
Lucky guy, unfortunately he died when I was only three years old so I’ve never had the opportunity to meet him, my Dad did a bit of roadie work for him so he’s got a of a lot of memories.
Rory was going to open the local guitar shop, unfortunately he died shortly before it was opened. That would have probably been the time that I would’ve met him.

Rory was one of the FEW people(and i mean FEW people) who didn’t see “colour”.
I am a jazz musician who is Anglo- Indian and yet when i met him, in 1 minute, i felt ‘this guy is TOTALLY sincere!”. I felt i’d known him all my life.
Not a shred of hate in him… no curse words, no ego, no pretense(very rare!) He would’ve made a priest feel ashamed of himself.
roryrockssocks: I …
roryrockssocks: I know what you mean.
I met Rory briefly after a London gig in 1972. He was casually sitting by himself near the refreshments stand.
He was extremely intelligent. Spoke to me passionately about jazz artists like Ornette Coleman and Indian music.
He died at Kings College Hospital, London at a time when i was visiting my own dying father.(15 mins from where i lived) I had no idea he was there.
This man is just …
This man is just excellent!
I would even say he was superior to SRV. I’m not looking for an argument when i say that, just my opinion. They’re both great guitarists, but i would much rather hear the soulful Irishman!
Peace.
