Andere Künstler über Rory Gallagher:

"The man who changed my musical life was Rory Gallagher, I picked up a guitar because of him."
- Johnny Marr

"Rory didn't sound like anybody else…He had a very individual, independent kind of tone and approach and everything. He's always been a big hero to me." - Slash

"He was just a magician, he's one of the very few people of that time who could make his guitar do anything it seemed. It just seemed to be magic. I remember looking at that battered Stratocaster and thinking "how does that come out of there?" - Brian May

"Rory was probably the most natural player I've ever seen. In all the gigs we did together I don't think I ever heard him play the same thing twice... He was the ultimate performer." - Ritchie Blackmore

"'A Million Miles Away' was the first song I learned on guitar. The story goes that when Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world, he answered, "I don't know. Go ask Rory Gallagher." - Ed Sheeran

"The man who got me back into the blues." - Eric Clapton

"I really liked Rory, he was fine guitarist and singer and lovely man" - Jimmy Page

"When I was with Humble Pie and?we were all just beginning to feel like we were getting it together, Rory was the one?to measure yourself against. To be able?to play like that with such intensity was awesome and really the only other guitarist that had that ability was Hendrix.?I could never get a sound like that from?my Strat no matter how hard I tried.?He was a real credit to music and pushed it to another level altogether."
- Peter Frampton

"It is truly remarkable how many guitarists over the years have cited Rory Gallagher as an influence. I was introduced to his playing during the Taste years, but it was during one of Rush's early tours opening for Rory in the fall of 1974 that left the greatest impression. He oozed passion in his playing, and I envied his ability to transcend the moment. I learned a lot from him as a guitarist, but it was his character that touched me most." - Alex Lifeson

"Rory Gallagher he was a great player. I've seen him perform several times he just used to use a little Fender amp and that beat-up old Strat, but boy, he could make that guitar talk. He was another guitar player who never got the credit he deserved, it's incredible." - Ace Frehley (Kiss)

"As soon as I heard Cradle Rock, I was hooked. I thought, 'This is what I want to be when I grow up.'"
- Joe Bonamassa

"There's very few true blues people. Rory stood out because he did it all the way through his life, that's what he did. Who else is there? I can't think of anyone that stands out as a real true honest follower of the blues and singer of the blues as Rory was." - Bill Wyman

"I see a strong similarity between the approach to improvising over the blues between Rory and Jimi Hendrix. They were both virtuosos who were able to manipulate even the minutest aspect of the blues and do things that had never been played before." - Larry Coryell

"It's not too much to say that what like Hendrix did for the electric blues, Rory did in an Irish context. You know Hendrix was the great originator, he sought of did field hollers for the pace age you know. But Rory absolutely injected some Irish thing into it." - Bob Geldof
