    I wonder what Rory Gallagher would think of this petition based on him having a fear of flying.

    What about (just off the top of my head..)

    Sonia O Sullivan
    Roy Keane
    Denis Irwin
    Terence MacSwiney
    Sean O Riordain
    etc etc

    Personally I think they're all ahead of Rory

    I know I can't tell Cork people who their heroes should be but Rory Gallagher's legacy echoes in eternity!

    Eh? Maybe it's a generational thing... Name a more famous song of his/theirs... if it's not played regularly as a "classic" then he's not that big lol :)

    It's not the songs, more so his influence on music, and guitar playing that he's famous. But Lady Gaga and the like will be remembered by more people than RG will ever be.

    Sad but true Eric, he was never that well known in the pop world, but in his time he was one of the greatest guitarist in the world, and IMO even better than Jimmy Hendrix

    Sure didn't Jimmy say it himself

    'How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.' —Jimi Hendrix :cool:
