Who's a fan? One of the greatest rock and blues guitarists of all time, imo, and a more honest and straightforward musician you would be hard pressed to find. Remix what? Featuring who? Dub? Huh? None of that shite with Rory: just honest, basic, down-to-business rock and roll!

They broke the mould, I tells ya!

Anyone stand up for the man from Ballyshannon?

Brother, as it happens. A sad loss to the music world; one of the few who flatly refused to sell out, right to the end. Rory's "reward" for this was near-chart-and-radio-airplay-obscurity, but I still love listening to his music, and those who refused to buy it as it wasn't "hit music", or play it on the radio are the real losers imo.

I have everything on cd or dvd that Rory has appeared on.
Always at the top of my guitar hero list.

Rory was a guitar genius, meant to play from day one, and play he did - like no-one else.

I get upset watching his old videos, knowing that amazing talent is no longer with us.

Most definitely in my top ten of guitar gods.

I never really knew much of Rory until I started listening to Planet Rock.

Wayward Child is a stormer of a track.
