There are a handful of great guitarists in my lifetime that have touched me to the core the wat Rory has. He played with such passion, soul and raw blood sweating talent it took the finish right off that 1961 Fender Strat. As Rory heard that great blues sound that pierced his heart and soul from America, he was hooked. He began bellowing his music in Ireland that had injected his inner spirit just as Stevie Ray Vaughan was doing the same in Texas in America. The RRHOF is gaining wisdom somehow with it's wise inductions of late with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble being a hugely smart, right and overdue choice for the Rock Hall. Let's hope that in the coming years we will see more of the same and get Rory Gallagher inducted right where he belongs! Let's not forget. The Blues had a baby and it was called Rock and Roll!

No question he should be in the Hall of Fame. It is a no brainer.

WAY past due!
Marina C. Oteo
He deserves it more than any other musician I can think of right now. He was always true to himself, to his music and he was also a great influence for many recognised musicians. Not only he played the guitar like a master but also composed all his stuff, sang, played harmonica and even the sax. And he had that kind of magic that cannot be explained.

Rory played a hell of a live show. He is a hell of an instrumentalist. More young people should listen to Rory.

I am a guitarist and feel that Rory Gallagher is one the greatest Rock n Roll guitarists of our time. To not include him in the Hall of Fame would be a great injustice.

Musician and artist Rory Gallagher must be given the recognition that is his due, to be entered into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as so many of the musicians that he influenced and inspired have already been honored.

Melody Maker's No 1 guitarist in the 70's; cited by Brian May, Johnny Marr, The Edge, Eric Clapton and many more as an influence. Amazing Rory is not in R n' R's top 5!

Rory has been my inspiration for nearly all my life. He inspired me to pick up a guitar. I've played my old STRAT for 30yrs. He keeps me going. I miss him. Saw him live once. I live in AUSTRALIA; & l'll NEVER forget that gig. What a player! What a man, what a loss. They asked HENDRIX once, how does it feel to be the best guitarist on the planet; he replied, ' I don't know, ask RORY GALLAGHER'. 'Buff said!!!!!
Belinda Drake
RORY RULES. My HERO. I've always thought he wasn't given ENUFF attention as one of the best. He's in my top 5 guitarists; most likely no. ONE! I play him nearly everyday. Both in listening, & being a guitarist myself; learning his slide playing at the moment; just incredible. And l'm a jazz/ classical nut too! WISH I could see his festival in IRELAND!!

Rory was one of the great live R and R act to ever grace the stage. I saw home a number of times in Boston. The audience went crazy for this guy. What a legacy of great songs records and performances. If the Hall of fame wants to actually mean something he should be inducted tomorrow. That man could play. His legacy will only grow over time. A truly gifted and influential musician and more talented than the majority of the existing inductees.

How can he not be in the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame?!! It's an outrage. Rory IS Rock N' Roll! And so much more. He has given us so much, the least that can be done is for him to be inducted. He was one of a kind and he has changed my life for the better.
Denise Wilden
Rory Gallagher is the best blues guitarist in the world, no-one better in my humble opinion, Rory set the bar high and others have to measure up to him, an incendiary live performer, prolific songwriter, toured relentlessly around the world as well

There is nothing to say. It's self explanatory. Listen to his music.

Rory will always be the most talented, moving, electrifying musician I have ever had the privilege of seeing live on stage. Lucky to have seen him every time he was in Southern California. Rory is simply a treasure.

Rory Gallagher was the best blues and rock guitar player I have ever seen. Also a kind and humble man who loved his fans as much as they loved him. He played in Belfast during the conflict when no one else would because he loved his fans and countrymen.

I stood on stage and played 'air guitar' next to Rory Gallagher at the Metro in Chicago in the early 90's. I will not get negative about why Rory isn't in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame I only say he should be. Specifically because he didn't stray from the Blues which we all know had a baby, and they named it Rock And Roll. Do the right thing.

A great honor long overdue! Rory's legacy of influencing rock musicians over the past 40 years (like this struggling but ambitious guitarist) overwhelms many other inductees who were only inducted by the number of records sold. Not just the musician, but Rory the person - what he shared with others during his short life - is most worthy and deserving of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction at the earliest opportunity. LONG LIVE RORY!

This man was the embodiment of blues. I had the very good fortune of seeing Rory play in Montreal in the mid 70's and also saw him play at two other venues in the States. I'll never forget his joie de vivre " love of life" as he played. To this day I have his 1972 release of Tattoo in my collection. If anyone deserved to be in the hall of fame, it would be the man who along with others put the blues into the mainstream of our lives.

The most talented, down to earth performer I have ever seen. He loved his fans as much as we loved him. After reading about him and buying his records, I saw him perform live in a club in Nashville, Tennessee. After an unforgettable performance, he politely spoke with the fans who stayed after the show to meet him. Thanks to YouTube, diehard fans are able to see his past performances and introduce him to new fans.

Rory was the most awesome guitar player and performer I've ever seen in my life. He was just incredible. I saw him the first time at the Star Club in Hamburg with Taste when I was just 16 years old and it really blew me off! I was lucky I could see him many more times in concert afterwards, altogether 25 times. From the moment Rory hit the stage until the last chord of the concert he always gave a 100%! He was such a fabulous musician, performer, and songwriter. I've seen Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, B.B. King, the Kinks, the Stones, Neil Young, Patti Smith, and most of the other great ones, but none of them could be compared to Rory. Sadly missed!

one of a kind. Seen him twice in Minnesota. Opened for fleet wood Mac and deep purple. Rory stole the show
Rod Wimberly
Saw him live in Austin Texas in the early 80's. There are no guitarist, songwriters and performers better. It amazes me how many people haven't had the privilege of hearing him. Listening to him is like being struck by lightning. Thanks Rory!

Rory gallagher is by far one of the all time greats of Blues guitarists. He not only influenced generations of guitarists, but was one of the great performers live playing and singing with the most integrity witnessed. Overall an under-rated slide guitarist and virtuoso on the guitar. If jimi hendrix claimed you were the best guitarist around...which he did for rory...then that's all you need to know.
Sebastian Marin

Rock/Blues Is rarely defined so superbly. With raw energy erupting from his soul and bursting from his fingers you know your ears are being treated to a musical smorgasbord. Only Incompetence would keep him from being inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. He should have been voted in years ago. His skill is what legions are made of. When he’s playing “School Is in Session”

Rory Gallagher for some really inexplicable reason is often ignored and often left out of the loop. I have never understood this. The man was a one off. His interpretation of the Blues and its ofshoots was unique. He was different to the run of the mill guitarists such as Clapton. He was an honest musician and a better performer than possibly all his peers along with Hendrix, Townshend and PAge. Rory resolutely stuck to his style and never compromised is musical integrity in order to gain a wider acceptance. He would not blow his own trumpet like some as he was a humble character. These may well be the reasons he never quite fitted in. It's time to accept that Rory was an invaluable part of RocknRoll history even if his popularity wasn't that of a Clapton or Page.. But he was a true artist - warts n all. He continues to influence all who come accross him. You must give the Irishman his dues so that he may well be heard by a wider audience..
Jay Wolt
Rory (RIP) has sold more then 30 million albums worldwide....get him in the Hall
Steven Rogers
Introduced my adult Son to Rory and a friend at work and both were amazed that they had not heard of him before, he truly was unique and definitely up there with Hendrix, Page and even Lifeson. I suppose like RUSH the hall of fame just won't get it for a while yet.

Rory Gallagher is an absolute must for induction into the RRHOF. I met him, listened to his music and watched him develop into one of the finest rock blues guitarists in the world.

As a guitarist myself, I think Rory is one of the utter most amazing and best guitarists who has just taken me by storm and taught me so much that I won't ever forget. If I ever get big or anything I will thank Rory for inspiring me and teaching me, Rory Hendrix and SRV in my opinion are the three gods that I can proudly say no one can beat

One of the best I ever saw live . The London Marquee club was the place and he took it apart . Thanks he was one of the best I ever saw there. And I saw a lot. How about a " new band " opening on a 3 band night with a weird guy in a green shoulder padded outfit ( Eno ) and another in a tux and tie ... yes Roxy Music opening for 2 other bands. There was a lot going on back then and Rory was one of the best. Please give him his place in history the he deserves. Terry

Rory was a great musical genius and unbelievably talented guitarists amongst other instruments. A kind hearted Irish man. He sold millions of records and gigged most of his life away on the boards of the world. His live shows where the stuff of legend.
He deserves to be inducted into the Rock and roll hall of fame more that most. He wrote tattooed lady an walk on hot coals for god sake.
Recognise him. Let him in. Give him a seat at this table as its been already earned and I was actually a little shocked to find out he wasn't inducted already.
Sort it out guys

Rory Gallagher deserves to be in the R&R HOF. Over 30 million records sold and countless tours in the US, Europe and even Japan. I'm a musicologist and hands down Rory is my favorite artist. Put him in while most of his fans are still alive to celebrate it. Rory on !!!

I have been a fan of Rory Gallagher since long before I was a guitar player. I also believe that Rory's influence is so vast, The Edge, Brian May, Thin Lizzy, Slash, Johnny Marr, I mean there are a LOT of people in and out of the Rock N' Roll Hall of fame arena who know that Rory was part of that era of Rock N' Roll that can't be denied its influence. Rory was one of the class of 65-69 which as we know was the Birth of Heavy Blues. Induct him already http://www.facebook.com/johnpauljonesgroup

It is an irresponsible and disrespectful oversight to not have Rory Gallagher in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is the direct genetic parent for thousands of guitarists today. If your "influence" is heavy but your draw is low, I guess you get no respect. It seems to the RRHOF, whoever sells the most induction ceremony tickets gets the induction.

Mike Ryan
The first album I owned was Taste. And thereafter Live in Europe.1973. If you listen to those albums even today,you will realise that Rory Gallagher is worthy of being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.

Rory gallagher merece ingresar al salón de la fama del rock ya!!!
Mark Radke
Rory Gallagher is a true step-child of the R&R and the Blues. As a true original he belongs in the RRHOF ASAP.
jana Klein
I am late to the Rory party. But now that I am here, I am completely blown away by his music. I am in love with a Irish man who plays the blues - now it truly is Ghost blues.
Francis Phelan
That this man is still not in the RRHF say's more about the RRHF than one of the finest guitar players ever to have graced the stage.
Jeremy Batchelor
In now please ,it’s a no brainier.

Dean Peterson
If anything, Rory's work was a breath of honesty in a time when music was largely influenced by image and lesser things. While the RRHOF seems to favor the latter, there has been many instances where artistic integrity won out. Whether or not Rory gets the recognition he deserves from the RRHoF is immaterial to me; I found his music and I'll keep it with me for as long as I'm able.
Alan Brokos
Rory is one of the all-time greats. Certainly better than some of the so-called "musicians" who have already been inducted.
Jeff Gultch
I'm surprised that we need to even do a petition. Rory can blow at least 2/4 of the other hall of gamers clear out of the wster.

irish tour alleine genügt schon für die aufnahme in die hall, da hat rory für viele tage frieden in diese region gebracht.
Geraldo Muanis
No doubt. It's long past time! Rory Gallagher left a legacy as one of Rock's greatest guitarists. It represents the pure soul of the Blues and has influenced generations of guitarists and blueseiros. In addition to placing your beloved Ireland on the map of Rock!

Laslo Bigsby
Rory Gallagher could very well have been the very first person inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and you wouldn't have had an argument from me. The fact that he isn't in the R&R HOF is a travesty. It bothers me that my friends dismiss Rory with an "he's okay" mentality but I counter back "he's better than Clapton!" and then we really get into heated discussions. The real difference is I point out to them a very important fact and that is they've never listened to Rory except when I force them to listen to a song or two. From where I sit having listened to all the greats from Hendrix to Clapton, from Stevie Ray to Santana for my money Rory Gallagher is the greatest! Just my honest opinion
Paulo Palhinha

It would have been very interesting (certainly in my world) to see how it would have progressed with the Stones after the Munich jams. Is there any recordings of that anywhere? Miss u Mr Gallagher.
Denise Cushing
Rory Gallagher was incredibly talented, and a huge influence on so many others. His music still rings true and deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Tommy Saccomanno
Rory Gallagher should be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. I've seen him live at the Park West in Chicago along with 268 other concerts. Please!

Met Rory many times. The most humble,unassuming man you could wish to meet. I went over to Queens University, Belfast from my home city of Leicester to see Taste split up and was fortunate enough to meet Rory and his brother Donal. They invited me to have a drink with them and later Donal asked me if I wanted to help him set the kit up. Apart from the split, a day and night I shall never forget. God bless his soul.

It is only right that Rory Gallagher be given his due and his place in the RR Hall of Fame!

I spent countless hours watching, playing Rorys music over 40yrs.
His tours were far to few to Australia and I was there when he did.
His guitar playing is such a mastery and his music is still relevant today. We have been so lucky to have such a musician touch our lives. Thank you.
Bradlee Pettus
Best ever blues guitarist, love all his music from taste and all his solo projects. It is a sad pity he is gone.

Rory is an all-time best. It warms my heart to know of the influence his music and guitar playing has influenced the young many times over. He deserves nothing but to be one of the great Musicians honoured in the hall of fame. Beside his peers is his place.

My boyfriend reintroduced me to Rory Gallagher, I was a teenager when I seen him in concert as an opening act, didn't know who he was so we went to the concert late and only caught his last song and oncore. I was really bummed out I missed his part of the show. What I did see, had me mezmorized! My friends too. It was YEARS later I was reintroduced to him by my boyfriend, who is also a guitar player, I was ecstatic! I went for digging deep into ALL of his music and reading everything I could, not only about him, but into what alot of the other great guitar players and musicians had to say about him. Nothing but praises and the taking off of their hats to him. Also found out that he could have played for The Rolling Stones! Feeling very humbled, he felt he needed to graciously turn them down! WOW...thats incredible. Don't think there are to many artists out there that would do that and never look back! He is VERY MUCH over due this SUPER deserving induction. The Hall of Fame really needs to listen to our current of a following as it should be, because he passed away much before his time and before his moment of full recognition and

Your decision to exclude him is an injustice that even surpasses all the years you excluded Rush. How can you deny the huge influence he has, to this very day, on Rock and Blues guitarists.

To this very day, whenever I need my moral boosted, or need inspiration in my own musical journey, I access YouTube, type his name, and away I go, feeling renewed and ready to create and try to perform as close to his incredible standard as I can.

Rory Gallagher should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame because of his musicianship, for selling millions of records worldwide, for making a substantial contribution to the music and record industry itself and not least for his far reaching legacy and unquestionable influence on many of the most recognisable guitarists in the world.

Please acknowledge Rory Gallagher's pure pursuit and mastery of the blues guitar. Truly he dedicated his life to music. When he performed, we were captivated by his joyous energy. He needed no elaborate staging or visuals -- he simply held the audience in the palm of his hand. I saw Rory Gallagher in Tucson in 1972.

One of the greatest blues guitarist in the history of rock n roll
It is well deserved and a travesty he isn't in already. He is a true rock n roll legend.
Rory's music is pure joy to a working class hard working city like Cleveland Ohio. Thank you Rory. Cleveland Rocks! oh
I shouldn't even need to say this but he was definitely one of the best guitarists the world has ever seen. Should've been in it long ago, absolutely shocking he's not in it
By putting Rory’s long overdue name in they might gain a grain of legitimacy to there name
he is one of the best, just listen
Get him in.
rory forever
my favorite musician since 1974. Still love his music, it even gets better!
There are a handful of great guitarists in my lifetime that have touched me to the core the wat Rory has. He played with such passion, soul and raw blood sweating talent it took the finish right off that 1961 Fender Strat. As Rory heard that great blues sound that pierced his heart and soul from America, he was hooked. He began bellowing his music in Ireland that had injected his inner spirit just as Stevie Ray Vaughan was doing the same in Texas in America. The RRHOF is gaining wisdom somehow with it's wise inductions of late with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble being a hugely smart, right and overdue choice for the Rock Hall. Let's hope that in the coming years we will see more of the same and get Rory Gallagher inducted right where he belongs! Let's not forget. The Blues had a baby and it was called Rock and Roll!
Long overdue

A dear friend that never disappoints.

Rory Gallagher is the name for Cork International airport
He's the best live performers of all time.
WAY past due!
He deserves it more than any other musician I can think of right now. He was always true to himself, to his music and he was also a great influence for many recognised musicians. Not only he played the guitar like a master but also composed all his stuff, sang, played harmonica and even the sax. And he had that kind of magic that cannot be explained.
The great guitarplayer is too early going to the big-band in heaven. R.I.P. Rory!
shame if not
The best
Rory deserves to be in the rock & roll hall of fame as he is one of the best guitarists in the World.
The greatest guitarist ever. Died too young
I feel sorry to say I discovered his music not so long ago, but enough to feel he would have deserved more and reached more with his wonderful steem and talent. I wish i have known him, or at least, Heard him played live. Thank you.
The best original player for his time
Great guitarist, singer and human being. Wonderful music.
Rory played a hell of a live show. He is a hell of an instrumentalist. More young people should listen to Rory.
I am a guitarist and feel that Rory Gallagher is one the greatest Rock n Roll guitarists of our time. To not include him in the Hall of Fame would be a great injustice.
fell in love first time I heard Irish Tour..i cried when he passed...literally cried..what a loss...
Rory Lives!
Just listen to his music that should be more than enough
God must me into Rock N Roll Hall of fame
this man rory gallagher was a god with the guitar he has as to be accepted into the rock and roll hall of fame even when asked who was the best jimi hendrix said ask rory gallagher
About fucking time!
One of the great rock/blues guitarists of all time....
Musician and artist Rory Gallagher must be given the recognition that is his due, to be entered into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as so many of the musicians that he influenced and inspired have already been honored.
Best live gigs ever
Melody Maker's No 1 guitarist in the 70's; cited by Brian May, Johnny Marr, The Edge, Eric Clapton and many more as an influence. Amazing Rory is not in R n' R's top 5!
Rory Gallagher earnt his place in that Rock and Roll Hall Fame. He was and is the greatest rock blues guitarist. Please put his name there. Subrata.x
Rory has been my inspiration for nearly all my life. He inspired me to pick up a guitar. I've played my old STRAT for 30yrs. He keeps me going. I miss him. Saw him live once. I live in AUSTRALIA; & l'll NEVER forget that gig. What a player! What a man, what a loss. They asked HENDRIX once, how does it feel to be the best guitarist on the planet; he replied, ' I don't know, ask RORY GALLAGHER'. 'Buff said!!!!!
RORY RULES. My HERO. I've always thought he wasn't given ENUFF attention as one of the best. He's in my top 5 guitarists; most likely no. ONE! I play him nearly everyday. Both in listening, & being a guitarist myself; learning his slide playing at the moment; just incredible. And l'm a jazz/ classical nut too! WISH I could see his festival in IRELAND!!
legend
Rory is an inspiration to so many and should have been inducted before now what a legend hopefully this happens soon
Rory should have been inducted years ago. I don't understand why this hasn't happened already.
Greatest ever band @ kingshall derby
Should have happened a while ago.
‘How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher.’ —Jimi Hendrix I cannot say any more than that.
He is the best guitarist period. He has influenced many great guitarist.
One of the best, Rory lives on just like all the other greats in the Hall.
I can't the Hall of Fame seriously until Rory is inducted
Rory for ever!!
might as well make it official eh!!!
Rory deserves to go in!
He belongs there!
Rory was in the top 5 best guitarist's
One of a kind. He deserves this, he was a beautiful soul and his light will shine on forever.
Rory Gallagher must be inducted into the Rock N Roll hall of fame , he is in my opinion the Best !!!!
In hearts of his fans he already is in Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame! Now the world needs to know it.
Just back from Ballyshannon 2015 Rory Gallagher Weekend Had a Brilliant Time Haven't stopped listening to him since Truly disserves it
Rory was one of the great live R and R act to ever grace the stage. I saw home a number of times in Boston. The audience went crazy for this guy. What a legacy of great songs records and performances. If the Hall of fame wants to actually mean something he should be inducted tomorrow. That man could play. His legacy will only grow over time. A truly gifted and influential musician and more talented than the majority of the existing inductees.
Come on Gallagher is no 1
Do it and do it now. Even Jimi Hendrix said " Ask Rory Gallagher about being the best guitar player".
I work closely with Gerry McAvoy and Ted McKenna - two former members of Rory Gallagher's band. We fully support this campaign. www.bandoffriends.eu
How can he not be in the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame?!! It's an outrage. Rory IS Rock N' Roll! And so much more. He has given us so much, the least that can be done is for him to be inducted. He was one of a kind and he has changed my life for the better.
Rory Gallagher is the best blues guitarist in the world, no-one better in my humble opinion, Rory set the bar high and others have to measure up to him, an incendiary live performer, prolific songwriter, toured relentlessly around the world as well
There is nothing to say. It's self explanatory. Listen to his music. Enough Said. Check shirt converse beat up Strat. Working man ethic ! Something to aspire too . Out of this world aggressive approach to the guitar.
No comment.
A million miles away but always in our hearts.
Not much to say because there is one point: Rory was the best!!!!
I've seen him many times and he was always great and generous ; I remember a festival in Germany where Rory was the last act, after his 1h30 set he played 1 more hour as an encore with a lot of rock and roll and blues classics ! One of my greatest musical memory !!
This is very long overdue!
A great player whose influence lives on in todays greats.
Rory Gallagher must and should be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, he was truly unique and one of the best blues guitarist ever!
Legend
Can't believe he's not already in it
A one-of-a-kind musician. His stage presence; his fantastic, unique tone that no one could seem to grasp; and his influence on other big names makes Rory an obvious spot in the Hall of Fame.
Unique, breathtaking
No questionnaires. His name and fame are a must for the hall of fame!!
He was such and influence on many of today guitarists and during the troubles in Ireland played in both Dublin and Belfast to unite the people.
Highly influential and underrated.
RORY ROCKS!
Rory Gallagher ASAP in the Rock "Roll Hall of Fame !!!
Certainly do
should have been in years ago ,Hendrix would have voted him in as his first choice.
Rory Gallagher !!
Overdue recognition.
I myself wrote to the Hall of Fame about Rory about a month ago.
Even if it was just for his work ethic & pure enthusiasm Rory Gallagher deserves a place in Rock n Roll history.
Rory Gallagher is a must for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. He is one of the greatest guitarists ever. His position would be well deserved.
There is no doubt that this man should be inducted into the Rock"Roll Hall Of Fame.
This is a no brainer! He has GOT to be inducted
Simply awesome!
One of the best guitarists ever has to be inducted
I am astonished that this is even in question. The fact that only the really deep, intuitive music savor-ers in the U. S. knew who he was due to the whole top ten mindset should in no way take away from who this man was as a musician. He was and is a legend!
It's a no brainer!!! Get Rory in there!!!
He's been my inspiration, my reason to start playing guitar. I had the luck to see him live for several times in the early 80th. He was that good. Thank you Rory!!!!
Rory is a legend !
it is a disgrace he's not in hall of fame
Absolutely stunning guitarist, and I'm reliably informed that at one time he had the longest hair in Cork.
In my view Rory was the greatest guitarist of all time, I play himself music every day. "Brillient"
Fabulous guitarist Fabulous man Your presence miss us
If not Rory, who then?
I was Born in 1960, my First Performance with Rory was in 1977, in Essen, West-Germany,at the Rockpalast, the Last Concert was in Cologne in 1990, i like his Guitarplay, he was one of the greatest Guitarplayer ever, Good Save his Soul, Gold Save the Rock'n'Roll Roll, all the best for all Rory Gallagher Supporters in the World Michael from Hamburg
Rory Gallagher is a legend
rock on Rory.
It's never too late for greatness
Rory Gallagher se lo merece , es una pena que no se lo reconozca..ya es tiempo de que tenga su lugar como el mas grande entre grandes :')
I cannot think of a guitarist who deserves this more. "They Don't Make Them Like You Anymore"
Needs to be in
He deserves it
20 years since he passed away. He left such a wonderful legacy and is Ireland's most loved son.
20 years since he passed away. He left such a wonderful legacy and is Ireland's most loved son.
20 years since he passed away. He left such a wonderful legacy and is Ireland's most loved son.
That is absolutely criminal that he has not been inducted before, absolute madness. He had a heart of gold and he shared his gifts with the world and we are so grateful for what he gave to the world on the 20th anniversary of his death. He deserves to be inducted more than any other musician you can name.
You know it's the right thing to do!!
Please restore my faith in the RRHOF and induct Rory Gallagher!!
Please restore my faith in the RRHOF and induct Rory Gallagher!!
Lui rendre grâce enfin, après tout ce qu'il a apporté au blues et à l'Irlande Thanks Rory
Rory should have been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame the very day he was eligible. He was an original, a leader not a follower.

Rory elevated Irish rock music and had (and still has) a big influence on some great guitar players, like Slash, Bonamassa and Brian May.Look at the number of annual Rory Gallagher events!
Get on it.
RORY!!!!!!!
Loved this guy since my high school days - 1973-74......... Loved IT'74! Outstanding how influential he has been once you start talking to people!!!
As U2's Bono said of Rory after his passing,"Rory Gallagher was not only one of the top ten guitarists of all time but also one of the top ten nice guys"....amen to that.....
he sure made my rnr life more beautiful! go on Rory!
Rory Gallagher is the best rock/blues guitarist of all time! He did blues with a rock and roll twist.
make it happen
Even Hendrix realized who and what Rory Gallagher was. One of the all-time greats, and even Hendrix said Rory was the best. I agree!
Cleveland Ohio USA
Rory the one and only, most talented rock-blues guitarist ever!!!!!!!!!
lets be honest how the F did Ringo get in?
A God on guitar!!
The best,so simple
JUST DO IT!
needs to be inducted for the show he did at the Cleveland agora awesome
It's about time Rory was inducted
Long overdue....it's time!!!
Can't believe he's not in there already!
he deserves to be in there
soooo overdue
Not yet !
Simply one of the best, legend
I do not know if it would mean anything in reality, though if anyone deserves it, it's Rory
I saw him in New Orleans, in the 70's, he was great
without him in it the HOF should be called the Hall of Shame. Ignorant jerks if they don't recognize his ackomplishments. He should be in there just on the basis of his historical live shows.
The best ever a long time coming.
Should have been there years ago
A legend
yes Rory should be in the Hall of Fame he he was one of the best or should i say he is the best as he lives on in his songs are still played all over the world . so yes he should be in the Hill of Fame
Rory Gallagher should have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame long ago there's no question that Rory was a brilliant guitarist and song writer and deserves a place in the R & R hall of fame !!!
glazbenik
This really needs to happen! Rory is one of my most favourite Rock/Blues guitarists. He has a style and commitment like no other.
how is he not in yet?
Watch Rory play, listen well to an original bluesman when most were copying another style, Rory made his own unique and distinct music. Respectfully submitted
one of the best songwriters and guitarist history
i remember going into taste dressingroom after a concert in the ulster hall 1970he welcomed us in gave us a bottle ofbear each andhad chat.what a man
one of the PREMIER performers of his time. Rory played with his heart and soul everytime he picked up a guitar and is loved by legions of fans and musicians alike.
One of the best, his songs are still on my favorites list today. Far more talented than half the people in the r&d hall of fame.
Im named after this man, undoubtelty the biggest talent ever on a gitar!!
RORY!
One of the best
It's a travesty that Rory is not there already!
It is a shame he is not there already! He is above most of the others.
Rory should have been inducted years ago!!
Come on now, Rory Gallagher was considered to be the best by other guitar players. The fact he is not in it indicates to me that the R&R HoF is a crock.
Rory Gallagher belongs in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. He is one of the best blues guitarist ever… period. Do something right for once and put Rory where he belongs and maybe gain some credibility.
Yes,its way past time
Yes,its way past time
He also wrote most of his own songs and played saxaphone andf was a musician from a young age. If you check you will see what a legend he is. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame shouldnt be all about high profile artists.
One of the greatest guitar players and performers of all time! Just watch a video of him playing Bullfrog Blues and Shinkicker Blues!
Rory was special in every way even Jimi Hendrix said he was the best . He should be in the Hall of Fame
Rory is truly legend.
My favorite forever ... MissURory
Special & Rare Talent, I am surprised he NOT in yet!
Rory was and still is a big influence on my guitarplaying
Still LOVE and MISS Rory! Rory oN Forever!!!!!
It undermines the integrity and meaning of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame not to include Rory Gallagher!
I still play Rory's songs 35 years after I first heard them.
Yes, he's very deserving and overdo for this honor. Thanks for setting this up.
A unique guitar player and major influence, please induct him ASAP. Thank You
One the greatest blues men of all time.
Very over due.
He is far beyond music, playing emotions and faith in Rock. Make him be reminded!
Rory Gallagher into Hall of Fame right now.
He was one of the great Rock and R&B, musicians of his time and his music still stands up today. I can't believe he is not in the Hall of Fame already.
Can't imagine that RORY GALLAGHER is no member of the Rock'nRoll Hall of Fame!! It seems to be a Rock'nRoll Hall of SHAME!!!?? Hey! R o r y!!!!! He's one of the best in this whole universe! So c'mon!
long overdue the man was a genius
one of the most influential, supremely talented and tragically underrated and overlooked artists of all time.
Damn, it's time!
Rory was simply the best. Poll the rock guitar players already inducted and ask them if Rory should have been inducted before them. Let that poll be your guide.
It is beyond a shadow of a doubt that this truly incredibly talented, humble, dedicated blues/rock legend should be amongst his peers in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
Rory is a big inspiration to me as he is to many others and he deserves to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame
Never tired of Going to Rory concerts and listening to his music. Still wearing check shirts in his honour!
I've grown up listening to rock & roll... influenced by all the big bands and players. But Rory has a sound, style and flair all his own. He deserves to be inducted with his peers
great rory , i love his music , one of the biggest blues player i ever heard
“Come ci si sente ad essere il miglior chitarrista del mondo? Chiedetelo a Rory Gallagher” (Jimi Hendrix)
In your town
Long Live Sir Rory Gallagher.
One of the greatest guitarist of all time.
Why isn't he in there already?
Rock n' Roll hall of fame is Rory's hometown... and we all know Rory is going to his home home town (sorry baby but he can't take you)
One of the greatest guitarist and great man/guy.
Really? Donna Summer and Madonna are in (Rock n' Roll?) and Rory Gallagher is not?
Green Day gets in and Rory isn't even considered??? WTF???
So many poor creatures are in there that Rory nearly can be proud not to be nominated.
ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS IN THE WORLD,HE NEEDS TO BE IN THE HALL OF FAME !!!
Signs supporting this petition.
Long overdue.
Please make justice to his GENIUS!
Come on RRHOF, this man has impacted many a rock n' roll guitar players!
Great blues guitar ever the world
This recognition is long overdue!
Roy Gallagher is one of the most creative and great guitar artist and performer who ever lived,
It's an embarrassment to the RRHOF that Rory is not already inducted.
Long overdue come on he has been gone for 20 years now is surely the right time.
Just ask Clapton!
God bless Rory. Long overdue! ;-)
A disgrace that he should ever be ignored
Hi everyone. I'm very sorry and ashamed to have discovered Rory's music in 2014. Now I think he's the best guitarrist and musician ever. I hope this helps to recognize him, although he didn't want that much. At least, to remember him for all times. Than you.
Rory is the blues.
I challenge anyone to name me another musician who actually stopped a war on the night he was in town. He did this on several occasions in Belfast in the early 70s. Paramilitary groups on both sides of the political divide laid down their arms and ceased attacks when Rory was playing.
done, but cant help thinking the man himself would be saying "what would I be wanting one of those for"!
A legendary musician who cared more about music than any industry nonsense.
A genius of a guitar player, enough said
Get'm There now!!!!
Justiça seja feita!
Make it so
Can't say enough on how good he was and how sad I get when listening to him and how he was taken from us so young. He was one of the greats.
the best
The greatest blues-guitarist ever!
Do the right thing! His time has come.
get this legend into the hall of fame please!!!
Rory MUST be inducted!!
Legend !!
Heart and Soul Man! Still love listening to His Guitar Playing! Such a Legacy must not be Overlooked!
There is no one in the world like Roy Gallagher. One of the top guitarist of all time..!
Ireland greatest guitarist
Rory Gallagher one of my all time favorite guitarists.
‘How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher.’ —Jimi Hendrix
Es una vergüenza que Rory no esté ahí aunque para disfrutarlo no haga falta. Rory on!
Because Rory Gallagher was ONE Of A KIND...One of the greatest guitarplayers ever!!
Rory Gallagher is a legend.
Rory Gallagher was recognised by Jimi Hendrix as the world's greatest guitarist- you can't get a higher accolade than that. Induct this true legend, please!!!!
He was one of a kind, an innovator, and a large influence on music as we know it. He certainly deserves this honor.
es una leyenda que merece su puesto en el salon de la fama del rock and roll
Simply the best
It's really a shame we have to get a petition going for Rory. His musicianship speaks for itself, and he should be on the "A-List" for induction.
Rory Gallagher is special - the most talented artist of his generation - he deserves the respect and acclaim that is his due.
Rory Gallagher deserves to be in the Rock n' Roll hall of fame more so than other artists that already are for many reasons.
Rory inspired me and thousands of others to play more than just the notes, and inspired many of our current guitar legends. Saints have been inaugurated for a life less ordinary!
Rory was always one of my favourite guitarists. I always felt he didn't get the recognition some lesser players got.He could play anything. How many other guitarists play mandolin. I still listen to him a lot rather than others and he still sounds great.
Is it really necessary to explain why Rory Gallagher was one of the best guitarists of all time ?
Go Rory!
Induct Rory now!
A legend! should be in the Hall of FAme!!!!
Simply the guy had the blues had the privilege to meet him in bham in the 80s lovely and humble man
Rory should be inducted based on the fact that he was one of the greatest guitarists and musicians to ever live and has so many fans from all four corners of the world.
Rory Gallagher should be in the Hall of Fame. I hope Roy Buchanan is already there
Rory should have been in the R.R. Hall of Fame years ago.
saw many great rory shows back in the day. his music will last forever.
He should be top of the list
Never forget Rory Gallagher!!!!!
Rory was a genius. He deserved to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The King. Thanks for starting this.
Rory Gallagher was the best guitarist ever out of Ireland and one of the best of all time! Rock"Roll Hall of Fame...Hell Yes!
Rory Gallagher was one of the best guitar players all over the world! Germany, Seesen
Arguably one of the top two or three rock and roll/blues guitarists to ever come out of Europe- (Eric Clapton and.....???)-I kind of have a problem with the idea of a "Rock &Roll Hall of Fame," but as long as there is one, Rory Gallagher should be in it!
I only recently found out about this guy. Watching him on stage... he has more fun than anyone i've ever seen; video or live performance. One of the greats.
Rory is a major influence on me as a guitarist. When I discovered him I was just on the threshold of stepping into a larger world of technique and studying him helped me progress. His legacy of greatness is undisputed, his music has touched many lives both famous and ordinary. No one belongs in the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame more than him.
he is fking awsome as fk
best guitarist forever
FUCK! I can't get it how the HOLY LEGEND still isn't inducted.....;; Maybe RORY is TOO GREAT TO BE INDUCTED YOU FAGGOT HALL OF FAME
KISS OUT THERE, RUN D.M.C OUT THERE, MADONNA OUT THERE....(lol......) WHO CARES? Until You MOTHER FAGGOT Hall of SHIT respect the REAL ONE
he was a master
Awesome !
By far one of the greatest blues guitarists to grace us with his music
The best ever.... Why he's not in there already remains a mystery to me!!!
He should have been there years ago!
Shame shame that this is necessary for someone so obviously great
I can't understand why it's not already done.
First saw Rory at Creams last concert Royal Albert Hall Nov.1968 and I was blown away..became major influence on me for many years. I Feel So Good at the IOW shows off the bands energy that I saw many times live. Truly one of the greats.To this day,not many people can generate the excitement with a three piece like Rory did. The McCracken,Wilson line up was the best.
Rory Gallagher was and still is of great influence on many guitarists. He was one of the greatest along with SRV and EC.
Rory will always be the most talented, moving, electrifying musician I have ever had the privilege of seeing live on stage. Lucky to have seen him every time he was in Southern California. Rory is simply a treasure.
Rory estoy el mejor guitarrista
Rory "Fukking Brilliant" G.!! Hall of Fame not so much.......
Saw him more times than any other artist.simply the best
Sure signed this twenty year gone..but l sign again.. ! ;-)
The time is NOW!! Rory was a one-of-a-kind- rocker that needs to be inducted!
It's completely bogus that Rory hasn't been inducted into the RRHOF yet.
He earned it. Just listen his music... it's a shame that he is not there.
long, long overdue
This needs to happen.
20 years overdue now. Unique improviser on his solos. More so than any other blues rock guitarist.
The very best guitarist on the world as we know it ! Rory ought to be in Rock & Roll hall of fame otherwise its just Rock& Roll Hall
Was the best guitarist that I ever saw live. You knew that each gig was going to be something special. Eric Clapton was asked what was it like being the greatest guitarist and he said I don't know. Ask Rory Gallagher. Induct him now!
If Chaka Khan can be nominated and not Rory Gallagher, there is a problem..
Rory Gallagher was the best blues and rock guitar player I have ever seen. Also a kind and humble man who loved his fans as much as they loved him. He played in Belfast during the conflict when no one else would because he loved his fans and countrymen. Rory Gallagher deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .
Rory Rory Rory!
Rory Gallagher for Hall of Fame
Rory we love you!!
he is a rock star!
Rory is world no.1 guitarist off all time
he was simply great!
He's been around since the beginning. He deserves it!
HE DEFINATLY DESERVES TO BE IN ALONG WITH YES. WHAT A TRAVESTY !.
One of the greats
I stood on stage and played 'air guitar' next to Rory Gallagher at the Metro in Chicago in the early 90's. I will not get negative about why Rory isn't in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame I only say he should be. Specifically because he didn't stray from the Blues which we all know had a baby, and they named it Rock And Roll. Do the right thing.
a legend!!
Rory should be on this list, he and his band deserve it just as much as Clapton or Hendrix.
So deserved. Please do it.
He lived to play rock blues. There was - and has been no one like him. A true legend who influenced some of the greatest guitarists in rock. And me.
Greatest guitarist ever!
When asked what it's like to be the greatest guitarist in the world (ever) the legendary Johnny Allen (James Marshall, aka Jimi) Hendrix replied that he wouldn't know ' you should go ask Rory Gallagher.' Recommendation #1
Induction should not be based solely on album sales.
Rory should in!
O melhor de todos...sua energia na guitarra era intensa e imensa com toda a simplicidade nas suas notas musicais...
Why has this not happened already??? Why does this need a petition?!? JFC
see rory's gift he has my love forever. girls only.
It is a crying shame Rory has not yet been inducted!! He should have been the among the first to be recognized for the wonderful songs that he wrote and played.
are you kidding he is one of best guitar players that ever played I thought he was in you should be ashame of your self R.G. R.I.P. YOU WILL BE MISSED.
long overdue...
This is long overdue! Rory was a musicians musician and was and is totally beloved by his fans. He was humble and gave his all in every single performance.
Rory forever!
I was 11 years old hearing Taste..and was mesmerized by Rory,s playin the blues and rock...seem ,m 3 times....im 57 now...and still he is my old time guitarhero...Rory still rules...he has to be inducted,,,,Cheerzzzz..
He was, and continues to be, an inspiration to many the world over. Surely one of the most talented and exciting players of all time.....
Long overdue
No one deserves this honour more.
Goes without saying that Rory belongs in The Hall of fame.
Rory Gallagher should've been in already and needed nothing signed for the man of unbelievable talent on that guitar from blues one minute to a hell raising rock song the next in his stride
Why is he not already in the hall of fame?
Ledgend
There should be no question around this. He was truly one of a kind who has inspired and continues to inspire musicians around the world. Attend a Roryfest in Ballyshannon and you will know.
Rory Gallagher truly was an amazing guitarist and human being and deserves to be in the Hall of Fame
He is one of a kind who still inspire musicians around the world. Simply the best!
Rory Gallagher for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Rory Gallagher!!!
its is a crime that he is not in the hall of fame and people like Run DMC are. It is time to return to Rock & Roll
One of the greatest blues guitarists of all times .......long overdue
My first introduction to Rory was in 1974 i believe. That Cristmas i got Irish tour 74 and was amazed. I was heartbroken years later when on break at work to read that he'd died. Had always meant to see him live
It would be an insult to even think I needed to give an extra reason here for Rory to be inducted.
Rory Gallagher rocks.
Rory Gallagher is one of the greatest blues guitarist, a true legend. Why he is not been inducted into the Hall of Fame long before this, I will never know.
He deserves it
About time Rory is admitted into the rock'n roll hall of fare. Long overdue
If your the best,then enough said.
Rory was unique, a fabulous guitarist and beautiful person
If the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame is to retain any shred of credibility, it should induct Rory Gallagher immediately!
Totally deserves to be inducted. Genius
No doubt, ofcourse the man belongs into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame! Stil miss HIM!
Rory is an obvious choice for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It should be embarrassing to the hall that he isn't already in. It's time to do this!
worldclass blues!
Rory has earned the honour tenfold
A Master!
Irish idea !
Rory is one off a hell blues player, he has earned it, he took the blues rock to the next level, no one can touch Rory
Irish Tour 74
On his night, the best there ever was!
Blues from the heart is rock and roll
One of the best guitarists and songwriters ever, deserves to be in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.
g
i saw him live one night before my oral interview for my Abitur (german highest grade in normal school) inMay 1982. INCREDIBLE
Rory IS Rock 'n Roll,
His style of guitar work was very versitle.. From lead to accoustic he was a virtuoso
Led Zeppelin were my band but Rory my guitarist. He was just outstanding.
He deserves it just as much as Clapton or Hendrix
he has inspired me to write great love songs like i fall apart, he deserved alot more fans, fame and fortune hes amazing my late idol but the best so far
No comment, just listen to his music!
A great honor long overdue! Rory's legacy of influencing rock musicians over the past 40 years (like this struggling but ambitious guitarist) overwhelms many other inductees who were only inducted by the number of records sold. Not just the musician, but Rory the person - what he shared with others during his short life - is most worthy and deserving of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction at the earliest opportunity. LONG LIVE RORY!
Let's get Rory out of "damnatio memoriae"...
Unbelievable that this giant influence of rock music hasn't been given the nod!
Rory Gallagher deserves this honour as he still is one of the most influential musicians and a truly inspiration for music lovers all around the world.
If Donna Summer, Cosimo Matasa (?), and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five get in, then there is no justice in this or any other world if Rory Gallagher is not even given consideration. Should not even be called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
\m/
The best bluesman
This is an issue? Great rock guitarist who deserves to be honored
Get on with it.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!
Because Rory Gallagher was a Brilliant Guitarist!! It is a shame he is not in it already...Rock&Roll Hall of Shame.
This man was the embodiment of blues. I had the very good fortune of seeing Rory play in Montreal in the mid 70's and also saw him play at two other venues in the States. I'll never forget his joie de vivre " love of life" as he played. To this day I have his 1972 release of Tattoo in my collection. If anyone deserved to be in the hall of fame, it would be the man who along with others put the blues into the mainstream of our lives.
Absolute legend
David Burkett St Louis missouri
My no.1 favorite guitarist, one of a kind!
Rory was and is what music should be. I got to meet him in '76, he was a kind & humble man, a true blues player with more talent than 1000 of today's phony talentless digitized wanna-be performers. We love and miss you Rory, and someday hopefully I'll get to jam with you. PLEASE Induct him NOW!!!
He Should be in Hall Of Fame Really I mean come on USA wake up from the coma and lissen to live at Cork with Rory Gallagher
The most talented, down to earth performer I have ever seen. He loved his fans as much as we loved him. After reading about him and buying his records, I saw him perform live in a club in Nashville, Tennessee. After an unforgettable performance, he politely spoke with the fans who stayed after the show to meet him. Thanks to YouTube, diehard fans are able to see his past performances and introduce him to new fans.
20 years after his death and still not in the hall? What a travesty!
One of the ALL Time Greatest!
Rory was the most awesome guitar player and performer I've ever seen in my life. He was just incredible. I saw him the first time at the Star Club in Hamburg with Taste when I was just 16 years old and it really blew me off! I was lucky I could see him many more times in concert afterwards, altogether 25 times. From the moment Rory hit the stage until the last chord of the concert he always gave a 100%! He was such a fabulous musician, performer, and songwriter. I've seen Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, B.B. King, the Kinks, the Stones, Neil Young, Patti Smith, and most of the other great ones, but none of them could be compared to Rory. Sadly missed!
the geezer was just awesome
One of Great Guitar Players of all Time.
Simply the best
Get this done -- don't be foolish, this man is a Blues legend. Wm. Alfke, Jr. 12/03/2015
RORY RULEZ!
It is acrime he is not already inducted
A most influential guitarist & awesome gent. Fantastic live artist too , from Taste to under his own name, has left a legacy of great music & memories.
It is criminal that he has not already been inducted. Listen to him just once. His talent speaks for itself.
Lucky enough to have seen Rory live several times in Toronto, no question he should be in the Hall of Fame!
THE BEST
one and only and the best
So many great gutarists were influenced by him.
One of the Greatest.., Still Playing through eternity..!
Of course he should ! He is one of the very very best of them all !
Amazing!!! He was a stand alone artist, a truly talented writer, singer, could bring his audience to there feet, For christ sake John Bonham wanted to join his band before Led Zeppelin. Give him his place in music history, Please!!!
I really only discovered him a few years ago and can not believe I had never heard of him before. I listen to him almost everyday now. I love his music. If anyone should be in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame it should be Rory Gallagher.
RORY!
Yes!
Rory is already a legend. The R&R Hall of Fame is the natural place for his legacy to be recognized.
Rory was an exceptional guitarist, he played with a genuine inspiration that came from his soul and flowed through his fingers tips on to the strings of his Stratocaster. He is truly missed but his music lives on forever. Induct him into the Rock "n" Roll hall of fame now.
It is LONG over due
Why is he not here already?????
Rory influenced my love of guitar and blues rock music in my early 20's when I heard him on one of his first Taste albums. He is one of the greats and deserves a place in rock and roll history. Please induct Rory Gallagher into the next induction phase.
This needs to be done
Do it now!
One of the greatest
Creativity is one of the hardest roles any artist has to live up to , which is why there are a lot thieves in the Rock music business . Rory is a best creativity can go and all his pure song writing track creating are number one hits , unique and full of character . . If a genuine artist like Rory does not get into the Hall of Fame . . Then it is because the Hall of Fame is not worthy of Him
Rory Gallagher played the Blues with his heart and soul! Of course I sign this petition! __Ancerg
Still the greatest guitarist to ever have lived
He deserves it, is the best guitarist, has influenced many others.
Love Rory
If you've seen him live, then you know as I know, nothing else compares.
Morreu cedo demais. Poderia estar ainda conosco, fazendo sua Arte. Merece nosso respeito.
Posthumously, it should be done. Have his brother, or someone from the original band "Taste" et al someone close to him, accept the award for one of the best, if not the best, guitarist of our time.
having been to his home town of Cork on 5 different trips too Ireland & staying there in cork this blues player put music on the global map for his country he spoke with his Instrument Im glade I met the man who sold him his Strat// & actualy stayed in a freids Flat right across the street where rory baught his mom a house this guy did it all
Por siempre Roy!
He deserves it.
How Rory can not be in the Hall is not only incomprehensible it's SHAMEFUL. Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!
A true Irish legend
The fact that this guy wasn't inducted years ago is a disgrace. Hendrix once declared him the greatest guitar player in the world. Not many would disagree.
Yes please
absolute best guitarist no one has heard of..
Best guitar player in the world!
Best Row Gutarist
rory is the best !
Rory was a fantastic guitarist and deserves a place in the Hall of Fame.
There are many great musicians, but not all play and sing with such humble grace, and such palpable devotion as Rory Gallagher.
Rory is a guitarist of such prowess as Page , Clapton etc...But not only that. He sings his soul out, every single note and word is a part of his heart, expressed with passion through his music ! Of course he deserves to be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, because he was and is Rock n roll itself!
Rory is a GOD!!!
Rory deserves recognition for not only being one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived,but a gifted singer aswell.
Love Rory
Loved Rory's stuff since I was a boy and bought the first Taste Album
The greatest followed Rory since taste days. Saw him at Leeds university many years ago one of the best gigs ever. Thanks Rory
Make it happen!
We are still waiting
Get this icon in the HOF!
It is hard to believe that one would have to petition to have Rory Gallagher inducted into the Hall of Fame.
I cannot believe that Rory Gallgher has not yet been inducted into the Hall of Fame when others with a fraction of his talent have been honoured.
RIP The greatest.
The most deserving of all.
I just found out that Rory isn't in the hall of fame..Really?!?He should be there yesterday..
This great musician has to be inducted. He is one of the reason I love music so much. Long live Rory, long live the Blues.
Best
Phenomenal musician and incredible performer!
A perfect example of why the credibility of RRHoF is in question.
This great player, performer and gentleman should not be forgotten!
Taken too soon,he was the best
Legend
Hendrix was once asked what it felt like to be the greatest guitarist in the world. His response was "I don't know. Ask Rory Gallagher". You have to question why the R&RHOF exists if this guy ain't on Page One.
The Last of the Independents
True emotion on a clean tone, that i previously thought was only achievable with a blaring overdriven guitar. I.e I Fall Apart
it has to happen !!!
The first live concert I ever went to was in 1978 and it was Rory Gallagher. The man just captivated me. I've been a fan ever since. He bared his soul when he played and you could see that he meant every not. I miss you beautiful Rory. R.I:P.
I hereby place my vote for Rory Galagher's induction into the Hall of Fame. Sincerely, Kevin Wood
rory gallagher one of the greatest guitar players of the world....the first time i listened to his music,it touches my soul...when a musician can do that ,deserves all the respect and recognition...i place my vote for rory gallagher's induction into the hall of fame
Lesser mortals have been inducted. Now is the time to make amends. Add Rory to the list. Thanks.
Please induct a great, great guitarist and artist.
At this point it just proves what a joke this "Hall Of Fame" truly is that one of greatest in the eyes of not only his fans but his peers is not in.
Rory was the hardest working guitarist on the planet, also he was a really nice guy, I was really lucky to have met Rory he was a very humble man, he should have been inducted without having to get people to sign a petition Get the people that decides who gets inducted to take a look at how he performed at isle of wight festival. (sugar mama, whats going on ) he stole the show he was definitely up there with the best
Fabulous artist. A yes from me!!
Go on!
RORY, un artist complet.
You mean he hasn't been inducted already?
Rory is my all time favorite musician. I love his music...he wrote so many wonderful songs. His music really has helped me through some rough periods in my life and I will always love him and grieve to think he left us so soon. <3
One of the best
One of the best blued/rock guitarists of all time - his live performances were truly phenomenal.
Rory deserves to be able to join the Hall since I've caught him and band three times an cgc waS
Jimi Hendrix said Rory was better than him
Gentleman and guitar supremo
Founding father of the bluesrock must be in there wake up !
Rory lives in our hearts!
he was the man who inspired me to play music for life
He may be gone but the music he gave us will live on and on and on ...
not that he needs that recognition...but it surely would be nice
This should be an easy choice.
triphtongue trio, tribute Rory Gallagher, in toulouse France, Rory, the best !
Rory we love you so much. You we're and you are with me always when I felt awful. Now I sign to be in rock on roll hall off fame. After I will go to listen your music
DO IT..........MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!..................THIS WAS A GUITAR GOD
JUST DO IT! HE WAS, IS & ALWAYS WILL BE THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER.
This award is long over due, it is time to recognise the genius of Rory Gallagher.
Steve miller instead of Rory? Shame! R & R hall is a joke!
I did not know he wasnt !
Absolute shame Rory is not already on the hall of fame
Absolutely Rory should be in it. U2 made it in 2005! if it wasn't for Rory there'd be no U2 no inspiration for Brain May no one that got Eric Clapton back into the Blues.
Rory was a legend and should be in the hall of fame.
Rory was a legend and should be in the hall of fame.
RORY YOU ARE LIFE ITSELF!!!!!!
none
Love Rory...saw him during the " Stagestruck Tour...WOW !...Fever Pitch....How can he not be in ?!?
Rory,belongs in the hall of fame!
Rory: Blues, Rock, 100% Honesty, attitude, Lps, concerts, Muddy Waters, Jerry lee lewis, albert king... what are they waiting for? he couldn't deserves it more!!!
Rory is a legend
A handful of us in Australia been listening since taste then Rory's first album then we just followed the breeze spreading this great talent and still cranking the stereo louder
Outstanding guitarist.
ROGÉRIO CENI DAS GUITARRA
Rory should have been inducted a long time ago!
LONG OVERDUE !! Are you kidding me ?!? I have seen them all - Hendrix, Cream, The Who, The Kinks, ..nothing like the fever pitch intensity of Rory..saw him during the Stagrstruck tour...WOW...One of a kind for sure !
Rory has got to be the next biggest influence after Jimi. this has got to happen the guy was fooking awesome live!
lower rory down to clapton level ?that would be the worst thing ever.
The hall of fame is the hall of shame without Rory.
The R&R HOF can erase some of the skid marks of nonsense, i.e. Madonna and KISS, from its suspect relevance by inducting Rory Gallagher to demonstrate that it might know something about rock and roll. Gallagher's records were good to very good but his live performances were never less than great or outstanding. A consummate entertainer and exceptional guitarist who ranks as equal to Hendrix and SRV.
Rory no matter what you make smile and i love you for that!!!!!
I have left written requests the last two times ive been to the hall of fame. Disgraceful that he is not there. I won't go back till he is.
Rory well deserves to be inthere!
The original worn out Strat owner.
From shredding a Strat to acoustic bliss Rory did it all.
Well said
Should've happened years ago!
Although i like some songs of rory, i didn't want to sigh-my friend forced me to do it through a deal we made.
absolutley without question a guitar players player. he had the right ideas and talent
Rory is the greatest musician that has ever lived
put him there!
Especially on acoustic folk guitar he was a MASTER and excellence. One of the greatest guitar musicians ever
It would be about time . He was one of a kind. this guy definitely deserves it.
The work of Rory Gallagher is the best example for Bluesrock - that makes Joy!
I discovered Rory's music recently and I was stunned this charismatic and incredibly gifted musician isn´t recognized in a much more comprehensive way. His music will live on in the hearts of those who keep listening to him.
rory the best
Long overdue.
Rory was the best and hiss bassman to....
A true icon
Thanks
As I globally agree with the people present in the Hall of Fame, I need to see Rory in the top 50. Long Live Rock 'n Roll
Fantastic guy . Greatest man. Wonderful artist
Induct rory...
Great music!
Long Overdue.
He is my absolutely guitarhero of blues and Rock. He played fantastic and he never was only "main stream".
!!rory!!
Luv rory after hearing him for first time a few yrs ago. Growing up a srv after hearing himthe first time. Same effect with rory had to find out who he was!
Rory remains the most dedicated, explosive and gifted Electric Blues Stringers of his generation. Thank you Slash for leading the charge!
He is a great guitar player and a magnificent musican!!
Simply the best ever
RORY BELONGS IN THE HALL OF FAME MORE THAN ANYONE ALSE. RORY FOREVER AND EVER
I don't understand how he is NOT in the hall of fame. fix this
Rory should have been inducted decades ago
as soon as possible
Unbelievable guitarist and has influenced many great guitarists since....
Rory Gallagher is an inspiration and deserves his place in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame along with the other great musicians who have been recognised to date.
Go rory
Uncompromising artist who influenced many of the greats including H of Fers.
No doubt. Rory Gallagher should be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame despite he doesn't need it because a special heaven was created by himself afterlife
He was THE BLUESMAN!
One of the best. Period.
Unquestionably Rory Gallagher should be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame as soon as possible. Ignorance and prejudice stand in his way, alas. It is time they were wept aside.
Rory should definitely be in the R&R Hall of fame. He left this world too early.
Seen him twice an. F IN LEGEND miss him HAS T O GO IN !!!!
Close to an icon in the r&r business, should definitely be inducted. Thank you!
One of the greatest ever, to pick up a guitar. In a business wrought with phonies and commercialism, he remained true to his music and fans, despite how it hurt his standings in the charts. This is a no brainer.
One of the greatest ever, to pick up a guitar. In a business wrought with phonies and commercialism, he remained true to his music and fans, despite how it hurt his standings in the charts. This is a no brainer." What Anonymous said (see above)
1st album still knocks me out. "What ya think of that I'm sleeping down at the laundromat..."
Rory had his world in music. He was One of the first white man who had a touch of the Blues And Rock. Music was in his soul.Rory play with his heart.And his voice was unique.Rory was great man But at the the same. A humble person.MUST BE INDUCTED
I always feel better and smile when one of his songs comes on on my ipod
All We are SAYING.... Is give Rory a chance.....
He HAS to be in the Rock"Roll Hall of Fame
Rory's live performances consistently left the audience in shock at what they had witnessed.
its a crime that it takes SO LONG for such great musicians to be recognised !!! there is no point in waiting longer & longer, his body of work is there for all to hear, give him his due & indict him into the rock & roll hall of fame !!! NOW...
As a lifelong fan of Rory's music, I believe his influence on the pillars of Rock and Roll should easily qualify him for entrance. No Rory, No Queen?
This is soo long overdue.It's a criminal. That the Rock N Roll. Hall of Fame.Has not made EVERY effort to give his eternal reward.And let his name be up there with Phil LYNNOT Jimi Hendrix Miles Davis. To those who will not do Him/Rory Gallagher justice. SHAME & NOW AND FOREVER ON YOU AND BOW BEG FOR FORGIVENESS. ROBIN"MINIZTER"CAHILL
This is long overdue. Rory's body of work reflects so well on those who influenced him and by those who picked up the standard after his passing. Rory is a unique artist among the legends of Rock and Roll. GET HIM INDUCTED
Hard to believe that Rory was never inducted! Travesty - sort it out, please
Truly gifted musician who definitely deserves this recognition!
A must!!
Rory was just awesome. Saw him just the once and it's still fresh in my memory. He should be honoured as he was one of the legends of Blues Rock.
The greatest!!! Watch all the live clips that you can!!!
What's up !!!!
Greatest guitar and modest man- it s one angel
I was shocked that Rory was not in HOF!!! Unbelievable. He is Hendrix and Clapton (the Cream years) ... As powerful and without imitation. Just listen to his sounds. Not just blues but jazz...and unplugged before mtv thought of it.
Shame rory is not yet in hall of fame
He deserves it. What a guitar player
Better than clapton or beck and yet rory is not in? He epitomized rock n' roll by going against the grain and living the life,for the life, of the life of a rock n' roll musician and hes not in? What an injustice
its crazy how he's not already in it
He should have already been inducted!!!
More deserving than many others already inducted.
very under estimated guitarist
How is it possible that Rory is not in the Hall of FAme????!!!! It has been 20 years since his passing and no respect by those that actually vote. It is a shame! Get it right this year!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes Rory is great he should be put in! I've never heard a bad Rory song.
one of a kind. Seen him twice in Minnesota. Opened for fleet wood Mac and deep purple. Rory stole the show
Saw him live in Austin Texas in the early 80's. There are no guitarist, songwriters and performers better. It amazes me how many people haven't had the privilege of hearing him. Listening to him is like being struck by lightning. Thanks Rory!
I was not aware til now that rory is not in hall of fame. I agree it should rock and roll not disco rap etc. rideculous
Truly a genius and should be in the Hall of Fame asap.
on stage rory is the best there ever was
The man is an absolute legend. Get on with it.
He should be there, when he play Rory make you feel something! He is one of the greatest guitar player
He is a god of the guitar, true legend who passed away before his time. Induct him now.
Good idea
Rory is a genius on any guitar he should be in the top 5 greatist guitarists of all time
Should have happened already!
Rory is simply amazing!
Saw Rory open for Rush back in the early '80s. He blew Rush off the stage and blew my mind. Been a fan of Rory and his type of blues/rock ever since.
Legend
I don't know what to say when looking at who you have in your hall and not this!
Rory Gallagher has inspired so many musicians in his time that it is unthinkable for him not to be included in the r&r hall of fame. Look him up, listen to him, ask any guitar player worth his salt!
Rory Gallagher, any blues guitarist's greatest example if you ask me!
If anyone deserves this award it is Rory Gallagher!!
One of the all-time greats. Put him in now!
How many signatures does it take? Forget the fame. It's a shame on rock 'n' roll. Someone said that "rock and roll never forgets", well apparently it did.
Rory was a legend!!
The one and only ever seen and probably will be in the future too
he is still alive
Better than Eric Clapton !!!
Better than Eric Clapton !!! Top 3: Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Rory Gallagher !
rory is the best!!!
Because he was one of the best, never will be forgotten.
Rory was one of the best. He deserves & has shown to be one of the greatest guitar players of all time. He's up there with Clapton, Page, Slash, Edgar Winter, Frank Marino, ect. the list goes on.
Rory Gallagher is one of the best in the World .,Their is no excuse for him not being in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame . They don't make them like him anymore !
One of the most incredible guitarists EVER!! We miss you Rory... You deserve recognition
OMG,, Come On,, Rory Is all Over Decades of Stones, Studio LP's,, They Asked Him to Join so Many Times, He Declined,, He said He needed to Be RORY,,,,,,,
まだ、殿堂入りしていないなんて信じられない・・・。
Genius guitar player
The greatest guitarist to ever live.An amazing song writer and influence to some of the greatest guitarists and song writers today
Very important to the Hall's redemption that they understand the merit of this.
He deserves it more than anyone else
Who else?
he will for sure be inducted one day or another
RORY ! RORY ! RORY !!!!!!
He is one of the greats
Rory éra foda
It is about time he get inducted. Bloody shame and shame on you Hall of Fame
Rory deserves a place in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!
er hat auch j- Hendrix beeinflüsse
Time for the HOF to get off their keister and induct Rory!
Nobody is more deserving!
According to Jimi Hendrix Rory was the best in the world, no better man!
Rory is the best
hes great
Let's get it done people! We all miss you Rory!
The best there ever was...
He must be in the rock hall of fame with Jimi, Stevie Ray, Eric Slowhand and the other great guitarists....
about time to get Rory in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame !
So devoted to his craft and stayed true to himself. Count me in.
Merece estar en el salon de la fama uno de los mas grandes! y ojala que se conozca mas en Argentina!
It's hard to believe he's not already in the R&R hall of fame.
i,ve heard them all and only j.b comes anywhere near rory the master.
Yes. Rory Gallagher should be in the rock and roll hall of fame.
Greatest guitarist bar none
One of the greatest influences on Blues and rock guitarists should be recognised and applauded.
The best. Period!
The greatest guitarist of all time
Rory inspired a whole host of musicians, his legacy lives on through them and those of us who were fortunate enough to be part of and enjoy this great musician's history!
You know it means so much to so many when so many Great Musicians tell us how Great Rory was..Still is! Rory-on
Great cause
ITS ABOUT TIME!!
Rory Gallagher died believing he was a failure and that no one knew him or his work.... please sign this petition to show that he will forever be in our hearts.
Rory is deserving of this
C'mon guys. He's more of a rock & roller than Michael Jackson.
Rory gallagher is by far one of the all time greats of Blues guitarists. He not only influenced generations of guitarists, but was one of the great performers live playing and singing with the most integrity witnessed. Overall an under-rated slide guitarist and virtuoso on the guitar. If jimi hendrix claimed you were the best guitarist around...which he did for rory...then that's all you need to know.
From Chile, one truly follower of one of the best guitar player of all time, Rory! He deserve this, he leave us a huge legacy! Surely he keep playing blues in heaven.
A Must. To be Tasteful.
Rory !! Forever !!!
Rory will forever be one of the greatest, the HoF hardly deserves him.
one of the greatest blues/rock guitarist of our time.
The RNR hall of fame should be asking to be inducted to Rory Gallagher hall of fame, that's what should be!
Get Rory in now..... a true legend and a great gutiarrist.
Fantastic, and better than many musicians already in the HOF.
A beautiful person who stayed true to the blues
It's about time!
Rock/Blues Is rarely defined so superbly. With raw energy erupting from his soul and bursting from his fingers you know your ears are being treated to a musical smorgasbord. Only Incompetence would keep him from being inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. He should have been voted in years ago. His skill is what legions are made of. When he’s playing “School Is in Session”
Long overdue. Come on folks. Sign up now. One of the world's best ever.
Brilliant guitarist. Should already be in HOF
An amazing guitarist and performer .. one of the greatest I ever heard!
Saw him at Guildford civic hall many times + festivals and in Ireland The guy was truly fantastic you couldn't stop watching or listening
wats this crap about donations you either wanna vote or not you shouldn't have to pay to do it
Rory Gallagher for some really inexplicable reason is often ignored and often left out of the loop. I have never understood this. The man was a one off. His interpretation of the Blues and its ofshoots was unique. He was different to the run of the mill guitarists such as Clapton. He was an honest musician and a better performer than possibly all his peers along with Hendrix, Townshend and PAge. Rory resolutely stuck to his style and never compromised is musical integrity in order to gain a wider acceptance. He would not blow his own trumpet like some as he was a humble character. These may well be the reasons he never quite fitted in. It's time to accept that Rory was an invaluable part of RocknRoll history even if his popularity wasn't that of a Clapton or Page.. But he was a true artist - warts n all. He continues to influence all who come accross him. You must give the Irishman his dues so that he may well be heard by a wider audience..
Rory (RIP) has sold more then 30 million albums worldwide....get him in the Hall
Introduced my adult Son to Rory and a friend at work and both were amazed that they had not heard of him before, he truly was unique and definitely up there with Hendrix, Page and even Lifeson. I suppose like RUSH the hall of fame just won't get it for a while yet.
Ftgujggfgjjf FG jjhds dc.
Never seen him play... Live... In fact.. Never heard him played on the radio.... Pittsburgh radio sucks... Must have heard him at someones house.. but damn if I can remember.... All I know is his sound made an imprint on me and many many many years later I found Irish Tour in a used C.D. shop.... and am up to ten C.D.s of his...
The best guitarist, the most humble man and the greatest live performer there has ever been
Do it now without delay, right now
Don't wait any longer, he deserves it !!!!
About Time!! He has so earned this! Please let Rory In the gates!!
great idea!
Rory,one of the greatest of all time , incredible guitarplayer and songwriter deserved this very much .
!!!!!
Rory deserve it.
Rory was a legend , many happy memories of his concerts .
Best blues guitar player of all time.
he deserves to be inducted...if 9 inch nails and the beastie boys are in then rory should be!!
If they put in Joan Jett, the hole thing is a sham. Rory was a fine musician, not a hack like some who get in. RIP Rory, thousands still flock to Ballyshannon every year in tribute.
Seriously deserves to be inducted.
Best guitar player ever
Please induct Rory Gallagher into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!
when you look at who is in and who is out, well you do wonder if its more of an honour to be left out?
He never got the world recognition he deserved, from Taste to Defender all those years and no recognition, well I hope he makes it in he deserves it.
Had great pleasure of seeing him live in Aust 4 times and always fantastic. Always gave his best, great showman
This is right where he belongs.
The lad deserves it more than anybody else.seen your man alot in the 7th, met him twice hard to explain emotions. See you when i get there Ruary
As the crow flys
Rory was a one off, influencing so many other talented musicians who became stars in their own right. He needs to be inducted into this prestigious hall of his peers without any further delay.
The best slide player I have heard.
Undoubtably THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER THERE WAS!!! I saw him in the states in the 70's thru the 80's probably 25 times. The band I was in we covered about 10 of his songs. He was much better to see in concert so much energy
rory Gallagher yes thought he was already in R.HOF
One of the greatest for sure and certainly worthy of Hall of Fame status.
PURE ENERGY
Rory on!
He was a giant of music
The definition of R&R
Rory deserves it. Hendrix called Rory Gallagher the worlds best guitarist back in the day.
Without Rory Gallagher it would be a hall of shame!
accg to Hendrix, Gallagher was the worlds greatest guitarist, Clapton was inspired by him, May was told how to get that sound by Rory. Truly one of the greatest!
He's influenced a lot of bands over the years.
Rory!
Rory is one of the best. He deserves a place in the R&R Hall of Fame.
Please,
Rory was the best.
best of all time, he deserves the induction
Taste number 1
Rory belongs in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame
Rory Gallagher was one of the great rock and roll/blues guitarists of all time. Rory should be recognized by the Hall of Fame and so too should Taste
Here is my vote
Best 'white' blues musician ever.
Just luv this guy, and his electric guitar. Wow!
Have all the taste and solo records. Blueprint and Tattoo are favorites
Outstanding!! Influenced SO many!!
i will sign a million times for rory.
Definitely lately deserves entry. Long over due! Thanks
It's simply a MUST!
How Rory is not in the R&R hall of fame yet is a disgrace. Do the right thing and induct him.
Get with the program ! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ?? And Rory Gallagher has been left out??? That's a shame !
Disgraceful that he is not in, but the RRHF is not about talent alone. It's a self-important organisation that looks after itself. The performers and all they contributed come second.
Should have been done years ago.
I love Rory's music especially the live recordings. He was such an incredible guitarist. Eventually, the RRHOF will start honoring the virtuosos like Rory, Roy Buchanan, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, Yngwie Malmsteen and others.
i am from Vienna, i saw Rory Gallagher twice an he has many fans in Austria until now
Can't understand why he isn't already in it!!
This should be a no brainer
A music legend! Only met him once but what a beautiful person too.
sad sad sad that there has to be a petition for rory, the best blus rock guitar player in music history (sorry jimmy)
TOUT A FAIT D'ACCORD ET BIEN DOMMAGE DE CETTE DEMARCHE POUR CE GUITARISTE HORS PAIR
Rory Gallagher should have been inducted many years ago. Ask any guitarist of note, anyone who appreciates his incredible body of work.
The king of blues slide guitar
Rory (top ten of all time)
It´s time a real great musician and bluesman must be in the hall of fame.
A Greek handyman told me to sign it, so I have done just that
I can't believe he has not already been inducted. Rory is an absolute LEGEND.
Rory is on virtually every guitar great's list of world class guitar players. He's shown it to all of us and deserves to be taken in to the Hall of Fame.
No one played like him, no one sounded like him..........he was and still is.......a one off.
E uno dei migliori chitarristi
a really great musician,true to himself
Rory Gallagher was an extraordinary singer/songrwiter and musician, he deserves to be inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame. Hope it will happen soon !
i was with my friends los lobos and others 1972and 73 whiskey a go go los angeles.i was 16 we got back stage and talked to him between sets..he was 23 and very nice to us. i saw him 25 times after that time. dan martinez
Those who heard the underrated Rory Gallagher know he belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Rory gallagher was the greatest musician ever and must not be forgotten
Great musician,guitarist and performer his work and music are belong to the Hall of fame.
Rory Gallagher was the greatest blues-rocker to ever grace this planet...the likes of which shall never be seen again. He lives on through his wonderful music!!! RoryOn!!!!!!
i think its well deserved
When I see some of the names that have gotten in the hall ahead of Rory, I wonder if this is really a Rock ,n Roll Hall of Fame. Rory was the best guitar player and rocker of his timje. PERIOD!
A master of his craft and inspiration to many, including some who have since been inducted to the "hall of Fame" themselves. Long overdue.
Can't believe he's not in it already!! legend...
The. Greatest. That's all
Please
Just Do it!
I had 6 albums by Rory '
Simply amazing.
One of the gratest. Rory Forever !!!!
He was a MAN. we miss him
Rory Gallagher, Irish Blues guitarist and songwriter, should be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame as soon as possible.
Greatest bluesplayer on earth
He was the best blues guitarist EVER...... Period !!!!!
Not having Rory Gallagher in the Hall of Fame is a crime and delegitimizes the entire concept of a rock and roll hall of fame.
Rory will ALWAYS be THE GREATEST to me...first heard him in 1973 when i was 16 years old. He was the greatest blues-rocker to ever grace this planet...the likes of which we shall never see again!! I will ALWAYS love you Rory. RoryOn!!!!!!!
One of the best ever!!!
This is a no trainer...just ask Jimi
Rory Gallagher ws not only one of the greatest talents of guitar playing but he was a brilliant songwriter as well.
I can simply not believe he is not in the hall of fame yet... Jimi and SRV are feeling alone ;)
Rory plays the blues rock like no one else.
I can't believe he is'int, he was up there with the very best, I saw him live about seven times, as an artist he was amazing, as a human being he was devoted to his followers, as an musician......Amazing!
One of the best of everything in music and humanity. It clearly comes across, just look at the videos. Certainly the best live performer I ever saw and I've seen them all, the big names and not so big.
The best guitarist hands down. Hendrix said Rory was the best
I love Rory!
Rory was an outstanding guitarist and truly deserves a place in the rock n'roll hall of fame
When I was a teenager - in the 70's - Rory Gallagher was the standard by which I would judge every other musician. He is still a very important part of my musical library and I am very pleased to hear my guitar playing son trying to emulate him. One off.
now it's time.
Rory forever!
Rory should definitly be in it! For me a top 5 player of all time and a major influence to guys like joe bonamassa and slash. He being not in the list already is proof that the list is just a commercial thing...
Unless you saw him live you probably would not have believed that he was absolutely the greatest guitarist of all time ( sorry Johnny Winter )
This travesty has gone on long enough, this is about pure talent. Just do it!
Rory is one of the great guitarist of all time and belongs in the hall of fame. I got the chance to see him play live in a small bar in New Jersey about 1979 or so and still remember his great guitar work. one of the great shows I have seen.
he should be there since a long time
Famous rocker, should be in the Hall !
Wonderful rockman who deserves it. Get him on!
Long Live Rory
There's no one that ever been so at one with his instrument, his music so that it becomes part of your soul. He's the kind that without knowing him you felt he was he was your friend.
Rory was a humble, most deserving musician that talent just oozed from him. You just knew he felt every note that he ever played, one of the greatest players, and an absolute gentleman. Let him in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, as it will not be complete without him.
Roryyyyyyyyyy go to hall of fame NOW!!!!!
No commentaire
Man, we're trying Rory!
If he's not honored as a guitar hero who could be ?
Rory was the best guitar player in the word!!! Love it and rory's soul and Music leave forever
I was fortunate enough to have seen him a few times, and he never, ever disappointed!!
It's a no brainer
Sadly missed and died to young but I bet he is '' Rocking Them away in Heaven , God Bless You Rory from your biggest Fan !
How can one of the greatest and influential guitarists not be in THOF?
He was the most influential guitarist of his time . His stage presence and performance was legionary. And he played saxophone .
There was no singer/guitar player like him. He was unique and the best at what he did.
Rory Gallagher is an absolute must for induction into the RRHOF. I met him, listened to his music and watched him develop into one of the finest rock blues guitarists in the world. They asked Jimi Hendrix once what was it like to be the greatest guitar player on the planet and he quickly said, "I don't know ask Rory Gallagher...induct Rory...
Rory Gallagher should definitely be in the Rock'N'Roll hall of Fame if it is to be taken Seriously as any thing of Substance. He lived,ate and breathed Music as a Guitarist of integrity and was a Huge influence on Countless Musicians
Rory Gallagher was a great ambassador for Rock and Roll, will never be another like him, way before his time, induct him soon.
I'm blown away by this talent. Speechless watching him play. Ghost Blues!
So deserving.
It is ridicules that Rory Gallagher is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There are so many in the Hall of Fame due to Rory’s Guitar playing influence. That is such a shame. I’ve always wanted to go to Cleveland but more and more I feel that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame does not live up to the dream of what it was meant to be. Tammie Rea
Long overdue
True definition of a blues rocker. Great music that deserves recognition.
I can't understand how Rory could be overlooked the man was a genius left us far to young
I always felt Rory didn't get the enough recognition and respect he deserved no matter how many loyal fans and musicians keep talking how much they were influenced by him. Rory should be remembered forever.
Rory is one of the most Underrated GUITAREST !!! Even though he was one of the Best -
This man has done more for music than any other artist I can think of and he dies believing he was a failure... prove he was wrong and give him the recognition he deserves
Forget Rolling Stone mag Top 100 Guitarists. Rory was No. 1. If he's not worthy of Hall of Fame, you might as well kick the whole idea.
Rory gallagher is a rock and blues legend, he deserve to be reconized by the hall of fame
long live RG
Rory is g8 hall of fame baby ya!
legend
from Galway ;-)
Rory was + is a legend he inspired so many musicians..no pretence.no frills..he was himself..a true guitar hero..Rory Gallagher was afraid of no guitarist...oh how we miss him..i love the man..
lets get this done.
Rory is the Best!
Impossible to quantify Rory Gallaghers contribution to the rock N blues world,what a sin this even has to be thought about.
Rory deserves to be there because not only for his contribution to music but because of his gentle unassuming nature.
Rory Gallagher was my introduction to the passion of Irish musicians and blues music as a teenager in the 1970's. Still regard it as the most formative part of my education.
One of the best singer,songwriter,guitarist,performers that ever lived but probably the most underrated. Saw him once at Festival Theater in Adelaide years ago and absolutely knocked me out. To this day, still one of the best live performances I have ever witnessed. Brilliant.
Saw him in 75 - he was great!
Rory was inspiring to watch because he looks like he is having so much damn fun playing; I hope this petition gets him in the hall of fame. He deserves it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely and oversight not to have Rory in The Hall.
Shame it has to come to this, Rory was everything that defines a unique or legendary guitarist and artist
He's the best
long ago overdue!
Love ya, Rory!
La
Rory's induction is long overdue!
We go for it ! Rory deserves it !
In my opinion Rory is in the top three guitarists of all time. Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman and Rory Gallagher
Rory was one of the best guitarists ever. He did more for rockmusic being on tour and still has millions of fans around the world. He is high rated by every rock guitarist - you can ask whomever you want. He needs to be there!
Greatest unrecognized Irish Guitar player ever to be. Sad that no rock stations do not ever play any of his great songs on St. Patty`s Day.
Pistol Slapper Blues, Too much Alcohol, I Could have had Religion, Walkn on Hot coals, Bullfrog Blues, Shin Kicker the list goes on and on all great stuff. I'm not sure why this is even a question.
Ask all the other acts already in the RRHF and they may very well agree.
i wrote his name on my jeans when i was 14....
Should have happened years ago
i am million miles away , but happy to have an effect
Finally! Lets do this!
Way past time for Rory's induction!
Greece loves Rory.. Representing!
one of the very best
This is a no brainer of he should be
I thought he was already on it.
schande dat hij er nog niet op staat
it is a crime a shame and a sin for Rory to be omitted from this group.
Not before time,watching him now on YouTube (McAvoy boogie) a legend in the true sense of the word!
His induction is way overdue
A true virtuoso and original. Largely deserved.
Emergency
He is a king in the blues world.. always will be
Irish Mozart
One of the greatest blues guitarists of all time! Absolutely should be recognized for his unique one of a kind style and talent!
He's the The most humble ...Guitarplayer in the world...He's a Legend...his life performances were GREAT...the lyrics in his songs ..fabulous..and poetic ..Rory Gallagher did play the BLUES...with a Passion..electricfying Genius...with his special style ..He really Should be Inducted..into the Rock and Roll HALL of FAME...
Truly deserved as Rory as inspired so many both famous and not so famous
Keep it going Dino
Done ,
Rory was a GIANT! A one-off phenomenon... a true original. He richly deserves a place in the R&R Hall of Fame.
How can one of the greatest guitarists of all time NOT be on this list.
Legend
One of the most influential guitarists of his generation.A true musician who spread the love of the blues to a younger generation.
Hope Rory will get inducted soon. Well deserved.
The Boss!
Come on Rory!
Yes yes yes
If anyone that is long overdue and deserves to be inducted it's Rory Gallagher.
Get Rory g inducted
Do the right thing
Should have been there long long time ago!!
Well worthy of this honour, respected the world over
He is more than worthy of this honor.
Anything for you ciara! This hotel bar.... is full of people
An absolute legend, it's a no brainer, how many of current Hall of Famers have name checked Rory as an inspiration??
Rory is one of the greatest guitarists & performers
The best guitarist ever...
Rory was the greatest front man of all time.
Rory was a down to earth Irish guy who could play like a true blues virtuoso
For the 30 million records he sold alone he deserves this honor!
U2 have been in the hall of fame for over a decade. They're a far cry from the talent Rory and his band had.
Most likely the best guitarist who ever lived
He was tremendously a gifted guitar player enjoyed watching him performed whenever he played here in Los Angeles. He makes his guitar sing than sounding like a guitar
Get this man in the Hall Of Fame right now. This is insane, why he's not already in i have no idea. Do Rolling Stone Magazine have tin ears?
What a fantastic musician!! What unbelievable guitar artistry!!
More than deserved by Rory, a true rock & roll legend.
Randy Newman and Abba but not Rory ??....NUTS ! ! ! !
No question Gallagher should be in the Rock Hall, along with many others who aren't yet in. Get rid of the politics and select the deserving artists!
He is in some ways better than Hendrix
This is a travesty that such an amazing guitarist is not in the hall of fame. Really? He impacted many of the people on the list here and many on the list couldn't shine his shoes
A scandal not to have the greatest guitarist in the world of rock, in the Hall of Fame !
Rory is my favourate artist, sinds a discovered him in 1980. He has a very special place in my heart. Great person with much love.
One of a kind guitarist and musician
A true legend who is worthy of induction into the Hall of Fame. No one played as good.
It's a shame Rory still remains out of Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame
Great live always gave his all and so talented
As a guitarist myself, I think Rory is one of the utter most amazing and best guitarists who has just taken me by storm and taught me so much that I won't ever forget. If I ever get big or anything I will thank Rory for inspiring me and teaching me, Rory Hendrix and SRV in my opinion are the three gods that I can proudly say no one can beat
Incredible musician and incredibly humble man.
For the humanity
I was lucky enough and privileged to see this virtuoso when he came to Australia just after Top Priority came out in the early 80's at The Playroom at Palmbeach on the Old Gold Coast Highway . He was just brilliant .
One of the mankind biggest mistakes. He HAS to be on RNRHF
Superlatives definitely dry on lips and what a genuine, humble, incredibly talented bloke yer man was Missed greatly A travesty that he is not already in the Rock 'n Roll HOF
Should have been in years ago ! THE best !
WTF??? INDUCT HIM NOW!!!
Seriously is there any question about his worthiness? It can't be a legitimate hof without him!
Way overdue. One of the best live performers ever. Top 10 guitar hero.
Straight forward. The Irish BEST!!
It's waaaaaaaaaaay past due!
Rory was a rare gem that will shine forever - a true rock legend.
Rory Gallagher is one of my favourite songwriters! I would wish him to be inducted in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Thank you kindly.
What is keeping the HoF people....Each day that passes without Rory Gallagher being inducted is an even bigger loss to the Music World and particularly the R&R HoF Itself.....get it done !!
Why hasnt this been done, Really? This Man was a Guitar/Blues God!
Come On Rory...The dream is near...
One of the greatest guitarists of all time.
JUST seen Ted Nugent whining that he's not in rock & roll hall of fame Rory can play circles around him with no pedals whammy bars or gimmicks
very influential artist!! Much deserving.
When Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the world's greatest guitarist, he is reported to have said: ‘I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher'
Had the pleasure of seeing Rory early 80's in Houston. Partied back stage with him. So kind. And an amazing guitarist! He so deserves a place I. Hall of Fame. ~Lynn Vermilion, Ohio
One of the best I ever saw live . The London Marquee club was the place and he took it apart . Thanks he was one of the best I ever saw there. And I saw a lot. How about a " new band " opening on a 3 band night with a weird guy in a green shoulder padded outfit ( Eno ) and another in a tux and tie ... yes Roxy Music opening for 2 other bands. There was a lot going on back then and Rory was one of the best. Please give him his place in history the he deserves. Terry
I can't believe Rory is not already in the Hall of Fame...
i feel like he's my older brother, before van halen, rory was doing it, so there's rory, who give a lot of people their sound and technique. Truly guitar Hero.
Hands down one of the best. This is a no brainer. Rory belongs in the Hall of Fame! His influence on so many other great musicians speaks for itself.
Best player i have seen as a teen
Get it sorted!!
The best guitarist by far!
Rory impacted a lot of musicians to this very day many rock legends will attribute Rory to their sound. He was the best blues guitar player I've ever heard. Rory needs to be in the R&R Hall of fame. History would be a miss without Rory Gallagher!
Not having Rory in the R&R Hall of Fame is a Sin of Omission. He was a great player and a huge influence many of his contemporaries, and guitarists who followed.
One of the greatest un-sung guitarists ever.
Yes please.
Rory had GOT soul i rock and blues ever.
Show some appreciation!
Rory played with heart, passion, and soul. He deserves to be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
he had no synths, no strings and no female vocals in his music - maid only rock, blues, folk and jazz. a legend.
There are some artists who are in the rock and roll hall of fame that shouldn't be and they know who they are but Rory Gallagher isn't and that's wrong
I'm astonished, he isn't still there!
The rock and roll hall of fame without Rory Gallagher has very little credibility. His influence was and still is all pervasive. Please right this terrible omission.
To not have this legend in the Hall of Fame is a disgrace ...the governing bodies should know better....ask some other legends what they thought of this man
Long overdue, rory was the man.
Do it now!
Legend.
Inégalable pour moi a ce jour !!
Rory had it all guitarest singer and songwriter.he influenced everyone that heard him play
Rory was one of the reasons I began playing guitar
It is a travesty that Rory is not in the hall of Fame. He is the best musician, lyricist and band leader who ever lived. Does success punish talent and stick to it of ness?
Rory Gallagher is internationally treasured as an excellent musician, songwriter and as a blues man in rock n roll’s dynamic historical mileu. Rory was a leader and a man of many talents! The time has come to add the light and love Rory eloquently played and sang in his original way, to the esteemed company of internationally recognized musicians in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!
Why isn't Rory Gallagher in the RnR hall of fame ???
It's madness that one of the great guitar players of all time in not Inducted into the hall of fame. Sort it out. And Induct Rory into the Hall of fame.
Sort this out
A true working mans guitarist who gave all to his fans...
Rory is a LEGEND!!It's a shame that he have not been included yet!!
I keep waiting each year to see if Rory's going to go in, I hope I'm not dead after they decide for him to get in there I'd like to see it while I'm alive
Rory was a great musical genius and unbelievably talented guitarists amongst other instruments. A kind hearted Irish man. He sold millions of records and gigged most of his life away on the boards of the world. His live shows where the stuff of legend. He deserves to be inducted into the Rock and roll hall of fame more that most. He wrote tattooed lady an walk on hot coals for god sake. Recognise him. Let him in. Give him a seat at this table as its been already earned and I was actually a little shocked to find out he wasn't inducted already. Sort it out guys Regards Dom Martin Player of Rory's songs Gladly keeping them alive and heard throughs Ireland since 95'
Rory Gallagher deserves to be in the R&R HOF. Over 30 million records sold and countless tours in the US, Europe and even Japan. I'm a musicologist and hands down Rory is my favorite artist. Put him in while most of his fans are still alive to celebrate it. Rory on !!!
El primer disco que me compré, antes que de otro autor allá por el 1972, fue Live in Europa. Ahí le conocí y todavía le sigo escuchando en CD y en vinilo, mejor en vinilo, su guitarra fue lo más.
The Pionner of blues rock in Ireland and the most greatest guitarrist of all time. He de
Rory still ROCKS!!!!
Obvious
It's unfair and an atrocity what the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is doing. Rory belongs Rory has always belong Rory always will be long. Thank you Gilbert almarez
LOVE Rory Gallagher, a great guitarist and man, sadly missed by all blues rock lovers worldwide!!!
Long live rory
Get Rory into the rock'n'roll hall of fame
Rory is the best !!!
No brainer.
The best performer i have heard...
the best thing to come out of ireland since the irish!!
Absolutely neccessary.
Rory still is one of the greatest rockers ever.As he used to sung, Just give me a sign.....
'A Million Miles Away' but forever in my heart!
'A Million Miles Away' but forever in my heart!
O melhor guitarrista de sempre. Simply the best.
one of a kind fantastic guitarist,songwriter,musician and bloke.
Surely the best guitarist of his era should be included ! Just to see him play live is amazing
How can we not have this guitar Legend in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
Rory Gallagher played the Blues with his heart and soul. No one played like him, no one sounded like him..........
Rory should be Inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame as soon as possible, a master at work
Rory should be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame as soon as possible a master at work
Hall of Fame Rory
possibly one of the most innovative guitarists ever
greatest unknown guitar player who could write and sing!
Under,rated guitars a leg and to other guitars such as jim hendrix
Rory Gallagher is a legend and a musical genius.
Long over due
First time i saw Rory Gallagher was on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert back in 1974/75 he most definitely deserve to be in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.. ... R.I.P. RORY
Go Rory Go!!
He still speaks to us through his legacy. No more needs to be said.
A truly superb player, a great performer and lovely man.He was a completely committed no frills musician. A great loss to blues and rock music
Thanks to Rory for showing me the joy and exuberance that is playing rock n’ roll.
Best live performer ever go on youtube and listen to taste live at the isle of wight best act on the bill RIP Rory
This accolade is long overdue I think Rory is more popular than ever even my granddaughter is a fan And I’ve converted countless people over the years
Rory was without doubt one of the most inspired blues guitarists the world has ever seen. At his best live and stripped back to the basics he was an inspiration to so many great guitarists both past and present.
Rory Gallagher was an angel of music that was sent to us in order to recognize the true electric sound of blues and rock. His name is written in hearts of many true rock n rollers and should be echoed through time like his divine music
PUT RORY IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME
Rory Gallagher deserves induction to the HofF. Keep on Rockin’.
A Hall of Fame without Rory is a Hall of Shame
How's he not there already...get it done
God is a magician
Like Ronnie Lane it was all about his music. He did not like dealing with American record companies.
The best guitarist in the world, he had to be many years ago
Rory Forever. I love Rory Gallagher. His music and his honesty to brighten my life and that of many people
We miss you rory
We miss you rory
True legend and should be in the hall of fame without any doubt.
What's to say? Greatest blues/rock guitarist artist in my lifetime and he's not in rock & roll Hall of Fame? It's like if Mickey Mantle didn't get into the baseball Hall of Fame. Utterly ridicoulous.
He was a great guitarist, and he was one of the greatest. He needs to ve inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
No more hesitation. Induct him!!
The world really is a strange place if this man is not in the Hall of Fame
Utterly mind blowing he isn't considered one of the top 10 guitarists ever. As a contemporary of Hendrix he was easily as skilled. Sort it out!
Bring It On..
This should almost be compulsory ! First saw Rory / Taste at the IOW festival in 1970 and many times later . I don’t think that at a live gig I have ever been more blown away by the skill , raw enthusiasm and energy of a performer . Please sign and get this done .
One of the greatest guitarist ever, great showman. True to the music, never sold his soul.
well deserved..... long, long, LONG; overdue! shout outs from other artists fall on deaf ears. are they afraid no one in the world has ever heard of him? i've heard of him since his first solo release and will keep listening to his music till i can't anymore, my first dog was named rory and now our second dog is named....are you ready?? GALLAGHER! just to see his strat on display is worth the price of admission alone. give him the honor he deserves!
I saw him live in Lisdoonvarna back in 1982. He was simply the best !
Disgusting that he’s not already inducted
one of the must underrated blues rock guitarist.influenced so many .with his high energy &original style. which myself being a guitarist he is one of mine main influences along with Jimi Hendrix,& Johnny Winter. for my style of playing
Rory has had a strong influence on many guitarists who are already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rory belongs there along side them.
just do it
o.o.t.b. guitarist, singer, songwriter a. performer
put him in the hall of fame
Please just put him in there!
Long overdue!
The man is a legend, let's recognise the fact.
The absolute best of the best, no one can touch him. My Dad loves his music and passed that love on to me. He deserves the recognition
Rory! What a legend, up there with the greats, not a doubt in my mind that he should be Inducted in this club!
LEGEND
The best guitarist ever, he has no equal, he was a "one off "a true virtuoso and a truly humble and kind person.
Simply the greatest and most influencial blues guitarist through 70's and 80's
The greatest. Miss him so much.
He was a virtuoso on the guitar & has had world wide influence so why not induct him into The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame ?!
It is a crime to have not inducted Rory into your institution!!
What kind of hall of fame doesn't have this kind of caliber.
It's past time, Rory deserves it a long time ago.
Its time, we dont have the massive lobby USA has but we do know he deserves some respect.
He was a songwriter, the best slide guitar player ever, singer, performer, toured around the globe on and on. It is about time to get him acknowledged!!!
Rory was a legend - brilliant blues guitarist - influenced so many greats. He was amazing and I was lucky enough to see him in concert (over 40 years ago!) he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!
Sad thing is that his 61 strat has become more prized than he.
He continues to inspire me.
Nothing more deserved ... as ventilators we would appreciate seeing the recognition of a fabulous work unfolded with much sweat and claw. However, I have no idea if this would please Rory, if he were alive ... Humble as he was, I do not think he would care much about this kind of homage. Anyway, it's just a thought, nothing more ... after all, what I think - I repeat, as a fan - is that it is valid. Rory no doubt, more than deserves!
He is and will always be my favorite blues guitar player I can’t believe he’s not in the hall of fame shame on you
Rory was a very talented musician and his first record is over 25 years old. I think it would be an injustice to Rory not to be inducted. Llease induct Rory. Thank you.
Rory Gallagher was unique, no one sounds like him. One of the greatest blues musician of all time and a wonderful human being. He deserves it more than anyone !
I support this petition because Rory is one of the greatest artists of our time. His songs continues to echo in these days. A master that deserves that and others homages.
The best
Hi guys, I'm a Rory fan since 1975, when i heard his Irish Tour album and become a devoted fan.
Debería de haber estado hace tiempo
The best guitar player ever!
The best.
Its not acceptable that Rory is not already in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!.Its a enourmous mistake!.Rory rocks fotever!.
It's just not acceptable that he is not in the RnR Hall of fame.
How can this be? Not just a genius guitarist, but a great human being who went on performing throughout the Troubles. Maybe eligible for the Peace Prize too?
Rory the Legend!!!
Get Rory Gallagher inducted into the Rock''Roll Hall of Fame
Máig élö legenda
An amazing guitarist and human being. The gold standard for guitar playing.
RORY IS GOD
Taste was the pioneering influence behind the British R&R origin!!!!!!!!
Can tbelieve hes not in there already.This is a non sense to the music community.God bless him............and the rnr hall of fame.....
Rory was the best live act I ever saw, and I have seen many of the greats in my time.
Reconocimiento desde España a uno de los más grandes guitarristas. Gracias
bout time
influential, inspirational, incomparable.
legendary that will never die
Simply the best
Been a fan of Rory since 1972. His music hasn't aged at all. I still love and play his albums regularly.
He should be inducted next session, it's taken too long, and he's 100% deserving
El mejor Guitarrista de todos los tiempos !
Rory the best!!
Simply the Best. 100% Heart, Passion and Soul!
induct the "sinner boy" please
First seen Rory on PBS. Loved him ever since. pbs
Rory Gallagher's induction into the Rock and Roll HOF is LONG overdue. Give the man the recognition he deserves. He played with as much heart, soul and emotion as anyone.
RORY IS AMAZING AND VERY TALENTED GUITAR PLAYER AND SHOULD NOT BE OVER LOOKED INTO THE ROCK'IN ROLL HALL OF FAME .
Phenom , admired by the greats already in the hall !
Admired by the greats already in the hall as one of the best !
It's a shame he's not already introduced.
Long overdue - THE master of the guitar.
If anyone deserves it Rory does.
Vote him in
The best, put his heart and soul through his amp. Never compromised for the machine and a true gent. Me and 2 mates waited half way up his driveway after a concert in Cork. He had every right to tell us to get lost but he spoke to us for a bit, thanked us & signed our tickets then excused himself. They broke the mould. And what a player...
An absolute travesty Rory isn't in there by now. Lou Martin and Taste should be included as well imo !
When I was a teenager, I suspected Rory Gallagher could be as good a guitarist as Jimi Hendrix. As more and more audio and video of Rory has been released, I now believe that occasionally Jimi played as well as Mr. Gallagher. Put Rory in the HOF.
Thank you Rory for the beautiful music your thrilling guitar playing and your lyrics
The greatest musician I ever heard, my hero. Excellent tribute to Rory is played by Simmering, led by Barry Barnes, simply brilliant.
The greatest
An innovator, not imitator and inspiration to so many. A great musician whose music will withstand the years to come and future generations that will see him as what and who he was...Rory Gallagher, musician and artist of life.
It's insane that he's not already in it. Why did I only find out who he was last week? I've listened to rock my whole lifeand this guy should be a household name.
I hope Rory gets I inducted and that induction happens soon.
Why is he not already in????
Long past due.
He is awesome
Tellement d'émotions dans ses chansons douces ou saturées! Pas dans le R & R HOF ??? Peut -être ... trop petit...pour y faire entrer un aussi grand talent!
yessssss!!!!!!!
Rory should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame,because of his playing& love for all who saw him play! He didn't use any thing but his guitar & his raw talent.He deserves to be in the Rock& Roll hall of fame.As Bono said"Rory is one of the top 10 blues guitarsest of all time"
best guitarist in all of history
A definite must. Truly great musician.
How is he still not in there?!?!?!?!
Very unique extremely talented in all aspects of music writing and playing . He had it all !! In today’s world his recognition would of been widespread and respected very quickly . He deserves this come on America !!!!
Do it....His absence is your Disgrace.
Best guitarist-performer in all of history!
fan forever
Should have already been done!!
Rory was not overly popular in the US but was elsewhere. He was a massive talent that deserves a place in the Hall of Frame!
RIP, 100% Rory!
What a loss for all when Roey passed. HE WAS A FANTASTICALLY TALENTED MAN AND MORE THAN DESERVES TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE HALL.
Beats them all
He should of been in years ago. OMG the members who induct him what a line up.
this guy was probably the best rock roll guitarist ever!
Blown away by this dude. By far the best live performances i've ever heard. So much talent. He did what he was meant to do. play music
Rory blows away many already inducted with his intensity and virtuosity. One of the greatest!
Just listen to his music!
He was a massive talent and has had a great influence on many guitarists. Keith Richards is a massive fan...
My first album,Blue print, followed by lrish Tour, nothin else mattered.
He blew my mind, and still does.
He was one of the best. Never get tired of his live stuff..
I think and i hope his talent will be recognized.
Please induct this legendary guitarist!
A true guitar legend and artist extraodrinaire, who left us an amazing catalogoe of memories...please complete the ""Glory of Rory with his inclusion into this elite club!.
Should of been a long time ago
Rory should definetly get into R&RHOF
A wonderful guitarist who stayed faithful to his love of the Blues. An absolute legend!
Rory Gallagher is blues rock with energy & class. His music & style has inspired many music legends and has fans worldwide. No one performed or sounded like the late, great Rory Gallagher. Put Rory in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with his music peers.
Stop stalling and put him in!
May you be remembered forever Rory
he was a real musician
name Cork Airport after him as well genius
Clearly deserves to be inducted. Best gig I have been to was Rory in Dundee, 1976/77.
Walked behind his coffin in cork
he was a very great man in blues and rock ...
I've played for over 50 years. All styles. Rory Gallagher is among my Top Ten of ALL TIME. He was doing things with a guitar long before others. Why do you suppose Hendrix referred to him as "the best in the world" when asked by Dick Cavett. He belongs in the R&RHF!
Rory Gallagher Rules induct him
It should be a foregone conclusion.
A travesty that it has taken this long.
The best guitarrist of all the thimes
Porqué sin duda es uno de los grandes
Duh.
it's due to him
Absolutely...long overdue!
true artist
In all of these ' Hall of Fame ' entries, it's more of a popularity contest as it is anything that focused on talent, playing, writing and the whole thing that it is to be a singing guitar player. So how about taking the words of Rory Gallagher's contemporaries and allow their words to set the standard you guys are meant to have set as a high standard for all of this sort of rot.
If anyone deserves to be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame then it is without doubt our very own Mr Rory Gallagher!
Such a crime that Rory Gallagher is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I first heard him in 1972.
Make us say "Can't Believe It's True".
Truly deserving to be a member! A genius, & love musician.
One of the very best !!!
Immense talent, and yet a quiet, shy man; he lit up every room and stadium he ever played.
Long overdue.
The best
34 years ago I first heard Rory Gallagher, and he inspired me to play guitar, HE STILL INSPIRES ME! and many many others, his music will live on forever in all of us. Fender even make a Rory Gallagher Stratocaster copy that costs a small fortune, WAKE UP and give Rory the recognition he deserves and include him in the Hall of Fame
Maybe there should be people on the committee who actually lived through his music era. He was truly one of the greats.
Rory was the king of rock blues. Played Ireland when no one would go. Fantastic slide player and great songwriting.
I heard Rory first with this tremendous "What' going on", when i was 16. I followed his way over the years and saw his Rockpalast concerts in TV with a a lot of friends. I never ever saw somebody again, who could play the Blues like him.
Rory Gallagher must be on that pedestal!!!
None even come close to Rory Gallagher!!
Long lookg over due
Just STFU and out Rory in already. He was a better player, entertainer and rocker than 90% of the dreck already in.
I had the pleasure of working with him on many a gig. Even Mr Hendrix respected his playing.
His music will live forever in our hearts. Rip rory
No question about it! It stuns me to even imagine ANYTHING to do with Rock N' Roll immortality that WOULDN'T include Rory!
Must be added
It's ridiculous that this talented gentleman is not in the Hall of Fame. You gave in to unworthies like KISS and non genre related persons such as Nina Simone. If you want us to take you seriously you should take yourself a bit more seriously and really examine the irrefutable talents of this quiet, hardworking artist who was taken from us far too soon thru no fault of his own. I truly hope you consider him for next year.
Who else?
Rory is fantastic guitar player i could ever wish, or dream i could play as good as could . He is truly remarkable he should with no question the the Rock'in Roll Hall of fame he is absolutely amazing . KISS that band should not be in the Rock'in Roll Hall of Fame because they lack two main elements Talent & Skill ..Which had more at 16 then they ever did combine
True talent, that is why all the great guitarist respected him and called him an amazing and fantastic player. Its a joke that he is not in the company of those players in the hall of fame!
The greatest performer and guitarist of all time, Jimi Hendrix agreed…
An absolute beast on the guitar and deserves hall of fame more than anyone!
saw Rory as a teenager at the ZOOM in Frankfurt am Main in the early 70's-fell in love -have all his albums-absolutely brilliant but so under appreciated.
The best of the best. Was fortunate to see him play many times and meet him too. He was all for his fans. Taken from us too soon.
Possibly THE greatest guitarist ever. Hendrix was once asked how it felt to be the world's greatest guitar player. He replied, I don't know. Ask Rory Gallagher.
Rory was the BEST
I have been a fan of Rory Gallagher since long before I was a guitar player. I also believe that Rory's influence is so vast, The Edge, Brian May, Thin Lizzy, Slash, Johnny Marr, I mean there are a LOT of people in and out of the Rock N' Roll Hall of fame arena who know that Rory was part of that era of Rock N' Roll that can't be denied its influence. Rory was one of the class of 65-69 which as we know was the Birth of Heavy Blues. Induct him already http://www.facebook.com/johnpauljonesgroup
It is an irresponsible and disrespectful oversight to not have Rory Gallagher in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is the direct genetic parent for thousands of guitarists today. If your "influence" is heavy but your draw is low, I guess you get no respect. It seems to the RRHOF, whoever sells the most induction ceremony tickets gets the induction. Put him in. You've inducted ABBA. It's getting disrespectful.
Now! The man was born at Rock Hospital!
Roarrrrry!
Rory is Rock N'Roll personified.
Long overdue
Seeing Rory tear up that Strat was one of the most memorable moments of my life. moments in my life
True legend.
Saw him in Irvine Southern California Crawford Hall I’ve seen Led Zeppelin Jethro Tull Johnny and a good winners Jimi Hendrix and none of them put on a show like Rory Gallagher
The first album I owned was Taste. And thereafter Live in Europe.1973. If you listen to those albums even today,you will realise that Rory Gallagher is worthy of being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.
Rory gallagher merece ingresar al salón de la fama del rock ya!!!
Rory Gallagher is a true step-child of the R&R and the Blues. As a true original he belongs in the RRHOF ASAP.
I am late to the Rory party. But now that I am here, I am completely blown away by his music. I am in love with a Irish man who plays the blues - now it truly is Ghost blues.
That this man is still not in the RRHF say's more about the RRHF than one of the finest guitar players ever to have graced the stage.
In now please ,it’s a no brainier.
The greatest of all time. He and Taste way over looked. Now is the time to right this wrong.
One of the Best ever!
Yes! Definitely Hall of Fame. He was terriffic and one of a kind.
Rory was one of a kind! Singer and songwriter! Incomparable guitarist who loved to play for people. No ego just pure talent!
The most gifted musician ever! He was so humble that receiving this accolade may have embarrassed him but he deserves to be part of this elite group of musicians
It is criminal that this awesome person and extraordinary musician hasn't had the recognition of being inducted in the hall of fame
He was an inspiration to thousands!
A rare talent. Do the right thing here.
Utterly ridiculous that he wasn't inducted decades ago. Voted World's Best Guitarist by Melody Maker in 1972, beating the likes of Clapton, Beck and Page.
The RNRHOF needs Rory. One of the best ever!
Induct Rory into the Rock n Roll hall of fame
Have seen him many times
Take that sinner boy home, wrap him up and keep him warm. Do this by putting him into the Rock"Roll Hall of Fame.. The sinner boy needs to be canonised and given the recognition he deserves. Do this and stop messin with the kid.
The beat guitar player i ear in my all life. Thanks rory
this guy is more deserving than most of the people already in the Hall Of Fame He was AMAZING
Rory live was one of the greats
One of the top 10 rock guitarist of all time. No doubt a HOF'r.
Great guy !!
Rory was one of the greatest legend of the Blues and Rock n Roll forever
Ian Hunter also needs to be inducted
Rory rules rock & the blues
Rory was a monster guitar player, performer, songwriter and interpreter of the Blues!
Put Rory in hall,, disgrace that his music isn't supported in the hall,,very deserving !
A shameful show of disrespect he has been omitted! The best performer I've ever heard.
One of the best guitarists, vocalists, songwriters, multi- instrumentalists, and a beautiful man inside and out. His ENTIRE WORLD was MUSIC and he was so very loved by millions. This man MUST be honored. .. otherwise the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is just a sham.. PLEASE give RORY GALLAGHER his well deserved place of honor at long last! Thank you. Judy L. Riggs.. music lover for over 60 year's and fellow musician/ vocalist
I’ve heard the best guitarist in the world over and over but no one ever entertained me more than Rory. In my mind he is by far the most overlooked treasure in rock. I listen to him everyday and will until I die.
Overdue !!!!!!
This is a travesty.
Rory is up there with all the blues greats Eric peter Jeff jimi mick Taylor
Guitarrista original, virtuoso, emotivo.
Considering the influence Rory had on musicians and music he is an ideal candidate to be enrolled in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame
Absolutely !! Thanks for fielding this Dino. I'm shocked the goal hasn't been reached long go
Should be there already
I still listen to Rory everyday he should be in the blues hall of fame
Considering how influential Rory was on his contemporaries and how his influence continues to grow I find it shocking that he is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
He was an inspiration to anyone who ever played and his influence and style are felt to this day.
A hero to millions around the world!
Rory was an incredible guitarist and showman. Humble to a fault. What a good man Rory was. Really happy to hear that Slash is involved with this petition . Not having Rory in the Hall of Fame is a true crime. I was blessed to see Rory perform Live at the Montreal Forum on Nov 1 , 1974 Rush Nazareth Rory Gallagher all shared the stage that night .
Rory deserves to be recognized as one of the Guitar Greats! Amazing player and musician.
Awesome multi instrumentalist. Very underrated. He lived rock/blues.
One of the best I ever heard. Great music still to this day.
One of the greatest I ever saw!
Was flabbergasted to find that he wasn’t
I was lucky enough to see him live on several occasions and he was true to the blues, and a musician extraordinaire. His induction to the rock ‘n’ roll music Hall of Fame is long overdue.
Hall of Fame should be embarrassed for such an oversight. Rory is an ICON
R O R Y
Rory Rocks!
It is borderline criminal that Rory Gallagher is not in the RRHOF, period!
Listen to any live recording from the early 70's Allman, Beck, Clapton, Page and tell me Rory didn't smoke them all and I'll tell you have no rhythm and must be stone cold tone deaf. Who are the people voting in MTV posers and Not allowing the likes of Rory in??? ?!
greatest of his time
Please let this happen he deserves it
Yes just yes
Rory hall of fame NOW!!!
Enough Already! Get him in.
Why oh why is he not already in Hall of Fame-this is a crime!! A genuine guitar hero
Super great talented guy! He deserves such an honor to be inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame
Rory was such a charismatic guitarist, singer, songwriter. His music touches people of all ages. He most certainly should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Absolutely.. He is the one I always go back to on Youtube to make me realise there are two types of people.. learned (me) natural (Rory) - Utterly inspiring and too perfect to copy
Huge inspiration,a supremely talented and wonderful performer (over 2 hours, leaving stage with shirt wringing wet)
Absolutely amazing just discovered Rory he should be already there .
For Rory and his contributions to the blues and rock and roll.
It’s about time. Mans an absolute legend
It’s about time. The best guitarist . Ahead of the usual crew.
Best guitarist in the world for me
Real rock!
superbly the best !!
Rory will always be one of my favorite guitarists. Truly original, grounded, and loyal to his legions of fans.
He has deserved to be in the Hall for quite some time.
Well overdue!
Rory deserves this!
We need Rory in the RnR Hall of Fame
We'll deserved
one of the greatest guitarist of all time.
I miss Rory
If anything, Rory's work was a breath of honesty in a time when music was largely influenced by image and lesser things. While the RRHOF seems to favor the latter, there has been many instances where artistic integrity won out. Whether or not Rory gets the recognition he deserves from the RRHoF is immaterial to me; I found his music and I'll keep it with me for as long as I'm able.
Rory is one of the all-time greats. Certainly better than some of the so-called "musicians" who have already been inducted.
I'm surprised that we need to even do a petition. Rory can blow at least 2/4 of the other hall of gamers clear out of the wster.
Absolutely deserving of this honour
If anyone deserves to be in the rock and roll hall of fame it's Rory. This man deserves to be recognized.
Long overdue
Ledghammer, do this now!
So he should be.
It beggars belief that he isn’t inducted, considering those who have publicly stated he was a direct influence. Brian May for starters.
I had the pleasure to see him many times on stage in France during 70s and 80s and 30 years latter he is still one of my strongest music live memories !
One of the best blues rick guitarists to walk the planet influenced a whole generation
No question - Rory is one of the greatest.
für mich war Rory der Beste. in vielen Konzerten in CH/D/F/I und GB habe ich in mehr als 30 mal live gesehen. seine einfachheit, sein Kontakt nach den Konzerten mit den publikum war legendär irish tour alleine genügt schon für die aufnahme in die hall, da hat rory für viele tage frieden in diese region gebracht.
No doubt. It's long past time! Rory Gallagher left a legacy as one of Rock's greatest guitarists. It represents the pure soul of the Blues and has influenced generations of guitarists and blueseiros. In addition to placing your beloved Ireland on the map of Rock!
RORY
Rory belongs in the r and r hall of fame.
Rory needs to be in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
It's a disgrace this man has never been picked for it but most of the HoFamers are nothing compared to Rory
Rory Gallagher forRock n roll hall of fame
A legend. A giant. One of the absolute best. His name still resonates here in Norway. Rory for the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Pronto!
a true rock and blues icon, influenced some of todays best players. get him in asap
Spread this!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rory Gallagher, one of the greatest guitarist's of all time, how the hell he's not in the hall of fame is beyond me. Rip Rory you will never be forgotten.
He is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, he needs to be honored
RORY IS THE TRUE ROCK STAR
Please indict this genius into the Hall of Fame. He will be a shining star in the Rock and Roll firmament. Well overdue.
Been tto Rory fest seen the many fans and bands who love. his music. So he eeds to be in the RRHF
Rory is the all time greatest guitarist that ever lived.
best rock blues guitarist to ever set finger to string, and he is widely recognized as one of the greatest everywhere in the world except he is not quite as famous in the US. What makes the HOF a US-centric institution? Right this wrong, please.
Yes induct him
True legend
Long over due.
Rory le mérite !!!
Saw the great guy a total of 14 times, and had the pleasure of meeting him also. Anyone who has ever witnessed a Rory show will know the guy had it all, energy, passion, amazing guitar and, one of the most humble and likable artists of all time.
Can't believe that he's not already in it.
Why Rory Gallagher is not in " the rock n roll " hall of fame and Tupac Shakur is, is a travesty. He was a top 5 greatest guitarist ever.
I can’t believe he hasn’t been inducted years ago.
Rory Gallagher is the Guitarist by which all others are Judged
Rory Gallagher made me devote my whole life to playing the guitar,I first heard the irish tour 1974 album in the early 80s and that was it ,i was hooked,couldn't believe it was live,a master piece ,God bless him.
Authentic
Amen, a long overdue tribute.
Amen
Let's get this done!
It's about time Rory Gallagher made the Rock n Roll h.o.f, make it right
Rory Gallagher could very well have been the very first person inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and you wouldn't have had an argument from me. The fact that he isn't in the R&R HOF is a travesty. It bothers me that my friends dismiss Rory with an "he's okay" mentality but I counter back "he's better than Clapton!" and then we really get into heated discussions. The real difference is I point out to them a very important fact and that is they've never listened to Rory except when I force them to listen to a song or two. From where I sit having listened to all the greats from Hendrix to Clapton, from Stevie Ray to Santana for my money Rory Gallagher is the greatest! Just my honest opinion
grande RORY estas sempre presente.
Agree with you 100%. Genius.
He was a revelation when I first heard him. Live in Europe
Rory is one of the greatest guitar players period and put Irish modern music on the international stage
I saw him so many times live...it was always linke a big Bluesparty...
Sadly missed
Rory is a legend!!!He is one of a kind and his memory must be honored and his legacy may live on till the end of time!!!
No doubt about it, this man needs inducted.
Oh....YEAH!!!!
If Rory Gallagher is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, there really shouldn't be a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ! This man had all the talent, skills, and then fire that is the soul of music, especially Rock & Roll.
If anybody needs to be inducted it's Rory, He's a guitar god.
Rory was the greatest all round rock guitarist of all time, but don’t take my word for it, it’s what Jimi Hendrix said at the Isle of Wight Festival.
One of the BEST I've ever seen or heard! Rory was a FABULOUS guitarist and vocalist!
No brainer. Put him in!
The most talented man in modern music. A true master guitarist and a raw performer.
Rory was an absolute legend—the very least he deserves is to be granted his rightful place in the Hall of Fame!
Rory was a rare talent and influenced so many artist.
One of the greatest guitarists and entertainers who ever lived
Rory Gallagher deserves to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame!
best guitarist to ever live. he deserves this
he was " The Kiddy in our day" met him once in Waterford before a concert a very likeable fella saW THIN LIZZY SKID ROW AND THE MAN HIMSELF Fri, Sat, and Sun he was top of the bill all for a fiver
How a man that Jimmy Hendrix named as the greatest guitarist of all time is not is the hall of fame is beyond me and an absolute travesty.
I was a sound engineer for many years mainly live, worked for some of the people he influenced.saw him only once in D.C. tried to bribe the engineer just to mix 1 song then realized he didn't need it Rorys sound was so pure,natural, and raw. how's he not in the hall already is unreal.
Yes he should have been inducted the second he was eligible
Get him in asap, its been too long!
Rory is the best!
King of Kings
One of the greatest guitar players of all time -
OMN is terrorist Media .
Ethiopian
አደገኟ ዉሸታም
ለፍርድ ይቅርብ
Its under mind
OMN is criminal broadcasting medea!
No comments
Loved watching this guy fronting Taste, back in the late 60`s /early 70`s at Cooks ferry Edmonton London. Definitely up there with the greats..just love Christy Moores "Rorys Gone"
Why isn’t he inducted already. Get him in pronto
Rory should absolutely be in the RRHF
a very long time overdue
He and the company are hate preachers and terrorist
Am happy
he is really terrible and terrorist guy ,make genocide , hate speech in Ethiopia, he should go to jail.
Rory deserves, absolutely
Rory Gallagher was a steamship, he was ballz-to-the-wall all ahead full. Put him in your crappy liddle museum bitch!
Keep up the good work
I loved this guy. Saw him every time he played in the Southeast USA. Great showman .
Magic Rory!!!
Great blue singer
Let It Rock!
I vote for Rory Gallagher to be nominated and elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
Rory still influences future generations.he was a trailblazer and such a unique talent
A free mind and hell of a player
Put the G-man in
Simply, it's the best.
Rory is all i listen to. And people dont like Mr.G they love him.
Ever since I saw/heard Rory play in Aberdeen many many years ago, he has been at the top of my guitar greats list. He deserves a place in the Rock N'Roll Hall of Fame.
He helped me adjust to Germany, saw him in K'Town, 1975. His and Van Morrison's albums were always held until the last bet in our poker games... He is and always will be on the original top shelf.
one of the best guitar of all time, past time for his name to be ion R&R hall
Seriously, it's time to pay respect.
Rory was the best guitarist in the world it is disgraceful that he is not in the Hall Of Fame.
Jim I Hendricks was a fan
Best thing happened ever to music .. Rory .
The greatest rock guitarrist on history
Rory deserves to be inducted due to his far reaching appeal and influence.
Absolutely a lot of rock artists in there where influenced by Rory. Had the great pleasure of meeting him and he was an unassuming , shy, gentleman a true characterisric of greatness.
Hall of Fame, what are you waiting for? Rory Gallagher should get the Respect and Honor that he deserves. He would have never asked to be inducted, but his Fans will do it for him.
I’ve been a devoted fan since 1972 and have become more appreciative of Rory’s talents and heart as the years pass. Please consider a long past due nomination. Rory should be in the RRHoF!
No brainer
Hurry up.
Elana Lotman
He was honest, sincere, and just F'n BRILLIANT! R.I.P.
Rory deserves this!
Yes, he deserves it!
One of the most amazing musicians I have ever encountered. Had a beer with him at a club in DC. What an incredibly nice person. There are no other players with his stage presence like Rory or his musicianship. All aboard the R&R HOF Train.
Simply the best
He well deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. An outstanding guitarist of Blues/Rock music!!
Rory was great guitar player, writer and singer. Fully deserving of a place in the hall of fame.
Rory is my best guitarist EVER. Love you Rory from Tucson Az. U.S.A.
Should have been inducted a long time ago.
If anybody deserves this it’s Rory
The best no doubt a genius.
It is a crime that he is not already in the HOF!
Thank you please put him in the Hall. Thanks Slash.
He in my opinion was one of the greatest blues artists of my time, he was a true bluesman. Being from Ireland you couldn't tell he wasn't an American artist. I miss what other contributions he could have left us by way of his extraordinary talent , he left us way to soon. God bless Rory.
Rock on Rory
Rory Gallagher is the best and how he is not in the hall of fame is baffling
A legend with other famous player's His induction is long overdue
He inspired those who are already in the HOF, played on Muddy Waters album....no doubt, of course & for sure, he should be in the HOF!!
This is a no brainer!! Great guitarist and performer. Gone before his time.
Do it!!
Very deserving. Multi instrumentalist Best Irish musician ever.
Please get Rory Gallagher into the HOF
Can’t believe he is still not there
A true legend Rory should be in the Hall of Fame its a travesty that he is not already
God bless Rory and thank you
Walk on hot coals skid on razor blades.
The Man Gave His Soul To His Music & His Fans, Please Give Rory His Dues.
RORY!!!
Looooong overdue
One of the most underrated but brilliant guitarists of rock/blues fame! Just fascinated by his stage presence and unique sound. HOF material definite.
The RRHOF has no integrity at all if it does not include him. I mean, Bon Jovi is in there and not Rory? No sense.
Rory is one of the Best!
Greatest guitarist ever
RORY
Just found out about Rory Gallagher, I'm blown away, he had it all.
Rory was one of the best. Unique tone and style.
His style & music abilities are OUTSTANDING. He is AWESOME!! His guitar & harmonica playing, his style, his music writing...both guitar & lyrics. Definitely one of the BEST there will ever be!!!
This is long overdue Still his music is a bright spot in this day and age of over commercialization long live Rory Gallagher
He belongs!
Hendrix's inspiration
Of course he has to be in...
I can't understand why a petition is required.
Grew up listening to Rory and and his awesome guitar work especially his acoustic stuff.

My day is always brighter when I unexpectedly hear Rory on the radio. One of a kind!
He is the greatest and one of the most influential guitarists of all time. He should be in the hall of fame

#RoryfortheHall
The best musician of all time
He perfected the rock blues guitar in his own way. Loved the energy.
I saw Rory play in and around the Chicago area many times! He was and still is one of my favorite artists ever!
Saw Rory back in the 70's. One of the best Blue's guitarist ever.
Nobody is more deserving of this honor than Rory Gallagher

RORY GALLAGHER, único!
One of the very best guitar player/performers EVER! Rory deserves this honor!
The best G Man and very sadly missed xx
Cryin shame this man has not been put in. He is so respected by his peers.
Brilliant musician
Rory Gallagher in the rock & roll hall of fame
As fast as possible!
Only discovered Rory four years ago. I’m a huge Led Zeppelin fan but once I saw Rory play live in youtube Videos I believe there is no one better. He plays with all his soul and heart and has the best tone on that beat up strat I’ve ever heard simply the Best to me
Cant understand why Rory is not already inducted
if the Rock Hall of Fame wants to be taken seriously they will put him in !
why is this even necessary? wtf!
I can't believe he is not already in it.
Rory Gallagher should have been in years ago
He should should be there amongst legends, for he himself was and still is a legend of rock.
Ah find it incredible that when ah talk tae some folk aboot musicians that they huv never heard o’ him. Ah’ve loved an’ enjoyed Mr Gallagher’s music fur many a year an’ obviously seen this tonight furra furst time so ah’ll sign wi’ fantastic admiration furra fantastic man. Peace an’ love. X
He's a legend, deserves to be in the HoF
one of the greats walk on hot coals
His talent is indisputable. He had more unrelenting passion and uncompromising integrity then most. As well as an influence to many musicans.
Ask Jimi Hendrix who is the best and Rory was his answer.
2nd greatest guitarist ever
the greatest guitar player in the world in his prime ... just like Jimi Hendrix said at the Isle of Wight festival.
effortless genius, one of a kind.
Put him where he belongs now!
gota always feel the music, cause Rory made it so.
What a Master
I first saw him with Taste in 1970 just before they broke up and a few times after .I met him once a lovely man
He deserves all the accolades. He was way ahead of his time.
It is an absolute JOKE that he isn't in. The hall means squat until one of the great players of all time gets included
I agree. Rory should have been inducted long ago.
How could he Not be in R&R Hall of Fame? He inspired many with his writing, singing, and guitar virtuosity!
My favourite musician and songwriter. He should be in.
Best live artist ever
Its a crime that Rory isn't in.
RORY!!!!
He was one of the greatest guitarists of all times, and was unfairly relegated away on the various charts. He, definitely, deserves to be a part of the Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame.
Long overdue!!!
Rory was and is one of the greatest guitar players - singers writers ever. If anyone belongs it's Rory.
Ask preformers and artists that saw preform him and you'll get your answer!!
Shame on you rock and roll all of fame! Rory should have been inducted years ago.
Never more deserved. Ask Brian May!
His work with Taste alone should get him into the Hall. It is just ridiculous that he is not in !!!
His place in the Hall of Fame is well overdue. Get it done!
The greatest of all time
C'mon folks open your ears ! one of if not the best !
Really, Rory is a No-brainer
Rory has influenced so much beautiful music,his guitar has sung all the notes of every song.
Totally deserves to be in. So underappreciated in the US.
Should be in the hall of fame years ago,
Rory is the soul the blues Rock
He'll always be in my hall of fame
Rory is one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived. His music will never been forgotten. He has to be in the Rock N`Roll Hall of Fame.
non inserire Rory e' un offesa alla Musica.
One of the best in the history of music
Long overdue........
Rory put on the best live shows in rock. Saw him dozens of times. Always gave 11/10. For Rory it was music first everything else second. Wonderful guitarist, wonderful man.
Rory Gallagher was and still is the best guitar player. He wrote most of his songs himself, which made him not only a good and authentic artist, but also a legendary songswriter.
Rory gehört schon länger in die Hall of Fame aufgenommen
RIP RORY
do it~
outstanding musician best slide guitarist i've seen
He is one of the best guitarist's of all time
Best blues rock guitarist ever.
One of the greatestGuitarist ever
I’ve seen him several times in the 70’s as the opening act and he always stole the show!
Justice
True legend of the music industry and a man true to his roots
the best guitarist to ever walk the earth he deserves it
Legend!
Should have been one of the first
Deserves it as a great, hard working 'bluesman', a thoroughly decent chap and because he has been giving me sonic pleasure since 1970. I wore out a couple of copies of Irish Tour '74 vinyl. It would have been very interesting (certainly in my world) to see how it would have progressed with the Stones after the Munich jams. Is there any recordings of that anywhere? Miss u Mr Gallagher.
Rory Gallagher was incredibly talented, and a huge influence on so many others. His music still rings true and deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Rory Gallagher should be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. I've seen him live at the Park West in Chicago along with 268 other concerts. Please!
He belongs. So does Ian Hunter.
Long overdue!! My favourite guitarist period
Witnessed his brilliance back in the mountain dew festival back in the day, out on his own
An absolute genius, met him at Tyne Tees Television studios many years ago. A true Legend who deserves a place in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
Brilliant guitarist who was just a nice man
One of the best guitarist of all tire!
Give the Celtic Blues MASTER his well deserved place among his peers in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Its long overdue, peace out.
The man lived and breathed music. It just poured out of him. Gifted all around musician.
A genuine one off prodigious talent who inspired so many and should be recognised by his induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
A guitarist good enough to turn down a place in “The Greatest Rock n Roll Band in the world” deserves a place in the Greatest Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in the world
Should have been inducted decades ago
Peerless.
It's a shame Rory is not yet in the list
Korean Fan, Forever Rory.
It’s a disgrace that Rory isn’t already in the HOF. I’ve been there with my entire family but will not go again until he is there. Grow up and induct him. We fans of him number in the millions worldwide.
Beyond Awesome ,what a ripper,been rocking with his music since Taste.If I could only listen to one guitarist the rest of my life,it would be RORY GALLAGHER.
No brainrt
Master blues rock guitarist
About time
He deserves the long over due recognition
it is terrible that Rory isn't in the hall of fame because he was the best blues player on planet earth.
shame full that he is not in the hall of fame
Rory should be inducted , he was and still is great.
On of the greatest performances I've ever seen. He infulenced so many rock guitarist including Jimmy Hendrix and Brian May
Stop the insanity get Rory Gallagher inducted into the Rck & Roll Hall of Fame
Yessirrrr
Uno de los más grandes guitarristas de la historia del Rock.
Met Rory many times. The most humble,unassuming man you could wish to meet. I went over to Queens University, Belfast from my home city of Leicester to see Taste split up and was fortunate enough to meet Rory and his brother Donal. They invited me to have a drink with them and later Donal asked me if I wanted to help him set the kit up. Apart from the split, a day and night I shall never forget. God bless his soul.
Let’s get Ted in there as well!
No brainer.
Long overdue
When asked if asked about being the greatest guitar player ever, Jimi Hendrix replied, you need to ask Rory Gallagher. No greater endorsement ever. The R&RHOF is not what it should be without Rory Gallagher. He was incredible.
Incredible that he isn't already a member!
LONG overdue
Are you kidding me?
One has only to listen to his music or watch his live performances to understand that Rory Gallagher was a rare and special gift to us all. No one like him - before or since. R&R HOF should be honored to induct him.
Hell yeah!
The greatest
Rory Gallagher es el mejor ❤
Let’s go! A true musician and blues man.
I think it is such a shame that this brilliant artist and his amazing musical contributions to the world have not been properly recognized by this industry. He has been, and continues to be an inspiration to so many. Many of those he inspired have been entered into the RR Hall of Fame. It is only right that Rory Gallagher be given his due and his place in the RR Hall of Fame!
no brainer
Loved Rory since his days with Taste. About 1968. A true founding artist of Rock music. He desers induction into the Rock'n''Roll Hall of Fame. Good a flash guitarists as they come, and caries sincere spirit instead of formulaic stuff.
Better than all
It's been overlooked way too long.
Is there any question Rory should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Answer: No. He is the definition of a Rock and Roller. Enough said.
I'm not sure if Rory would actually want to be in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame... But, as a way to keep his memory alive for future generations... I think it good be a good thing.
his time is long overdue.
He was one of the best and should be inducted!
A crime this man in not in the RRHOF. Was on my bucket list of places to visit but no longer.... A sham that rap groups etc are in but not Rory.......
The best
Get this man in
this is an absolute travesty! Even Jimi knew Rory was amazing!
When Jimmy Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitar player in the world, he said I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.
I have seen many greats of the last 50 years ...... but I will never forget Rory Gallagher live.... he was the outstanding blues rock guitarist of his era...
Its well past time to get Rory Gallagher inducted. He more than deserves this.
One of, if not the, greatest guitarists of all time.
Next up, John Mayall
Do the right thing and vote Rory in.
One of the greatest guitarists. Had the pleasure of seeing him live in NewYork. Always overlooked for his music and playing.
Been my hero since junior high in mid 70's and still listen
Rory's music will forever set him apart from other Musicians. True to himself he never stopped pursuing the essence of blues in its purest form. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame must fill the education gap and induct Rory Gallagher
The greatest.
Let’s get real
Rory! Rory! Rory!
Not only should Rory Gallager be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but an argument could be had that he should have been the very first person inducted!
I spent countless hours watching, playing Rorys music over 40yrs. His tours were far to few to Australia and I was there when he did. His guitar playing is such a mastery and his music is still relevant today. We have been so lucky to have such a musician touch our lives. Thank you.
Best ever blues guitarist, love all his music from taste and all his solo projects. It is a sad pity he is gone.
Rory is an all-time best. It warms my heart to know of the influence his music and guitar playing has influenced the young many times over. He deserves nothing but to be one of the great Musicians honoured in the hall of fame. Beside his peers is his place.
Rory is long overdue to be inducted!
Are you kidding me. I can’t believe that it has gone this far.
Even Hendrix thought Rory was the greatest guitarist of all time... and he didn't even get to hear Isle of Wight, Montreax, or the studio album Top Priority.
I tried to enter it at the screen at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio but it closed down just as I was trying to enter. Closing Time. So I’ll do it here. Thanks
It is shameful that one of the best guitarist of all times is still not in the RnR HoF. Rory deserves it asap!!!
For sure
My boyfriend reintroduced me to Rory Gallagher, I was a teenager when I seen him in concert as an opening act, didn't know who he was so we went to the concert late and only caught his last song and oncore. I was really bummed out I missed his part of the show. What I did see, had me mezmorized! My friends too. It was YEARS later I was reintroduced to him by my boyfriend, who is also a guitar player, I was ecstatic! I went for digging deep into ALL of his music and reading everything I could, not only about him, but into what alot of the other great guitar players and musicians had to say about him. Nothing but praises and the taking off of their hats to him. Also found out that he could have played for The Rolling Stones! Feeling very humbled, he felt he needed to graciously turn them down! WOW...thats incredible. Don't think there are to many artists out there that would do that and never look back! He is VERY MUCH over due this SUPER deserving induction. The Hall of Fame really needs to listen to our current of a following as it should be, because he passed away much before his time and before his moment of full recognition and
Come on now.
Long overdue
It's a travesty that he is not in the Hall of Fame.
big balls
i like big balls
Absolutely the best ever, so deserving of being inducted, although the man himself would not have saught this gong, he should be inducted. Dale Lisson.
Rory is a HERO of generations of the best guitarists of the world. His legacy is tremendous! And he's still not in a Hall of Rock''Roll fame?! What a SHAME!
right now!!
Rory is sublime. No question, he should be in the Hall of Fame, although he might not be so inclined.
Rory could turn a guitar inside out
One of the best guitarist ever
This would be a long overdue recognition of this amazing guitarists talents.
L un des meilleurs guitariste au monde . Reconnu des plus grands. Il mérite sa place avec les meilleurs...
Doesn't get the recognition that he deserves the man way a genius
One of the best guitar legends of all time.
Long over due
Simply the best
Should have happened a long time ago
Defo
Rory Gallagher should’ve been in the Rock Hall decades ago, correct this major oversight
Long overdue Rory earned it
Rory deserves it
Absolute guitar hero, composer and the real musician.
Rory was a unique player and his live performances were amazing. He is much revered by guitar players and he should have been inducted years ago when he was still alive. Make it right now
Long overdue
met him after a gig , i was a young musician and he was full of encouragement and advice , such a humble , talented ,inspirational soul x
Overdue
If anyone deserves to be inducted into the RRHOF, it's got to be Rory Gallagher!
One of the biggest transgressions of any group that is supposed to be representing Rock and Rock music. Let’s change this now
Rory Gallagher is more than deserving of his place in the Hall of Fame. Long overdue.
Better than Hendrix.
Rory Gallagher is long overdue to be inducted and a chance for the Hall to honor one of the best to ever play a guitar and a hell of a singer as well.
Roy Gallagher was one of the best so hè has to be in the hall of fame
Quite simply, an outstanding blues-rock musician - with a legion of fans, who influenced some of greatest guitar players around. When one looks at some of the inductees into the Hall of Fame, it is a scandal that Rory has not been recognised and honoured in such a way. Please rectify this!!
Do it now! It’s been too long! He was well respected by other guitarists like Ritchie Blackmore and Brian May so he should be in!
Best guitarist ever
Amazing talent, unique style, massive live performer, highly respected by fellow musicians. Has to be in the HoF!!
I Vote for The !Best! Guitar Player....!!!!
Let’s get Rory Gallagher into the hall of fame
The best Blues Guitarplayer and Songwriter
He was a brilliant performer Who should have been listed a long time ago
Long overdue
Rory Gallagher played the Blues with his heart and soul - my first hero about 50 years
What's the point of having a Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame if you are not going to include the best and most influential? Rory Gallagher deserves to be in the Hall. And the Hall would do well to have Rory included there - they won't look like such a joke by excluding the performers who worked their asses off to make Rock-n-Roll what it is today!
Simply the best guitarist EVER !
Should have been done 20 years ago
One of the best guitarists ever
Semper Fi.
Way overdue and very much deserved
Rory Gallagher deserves to be in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame because he was an exceptional musician and is most deserving of this honor after all these years. The most underrated musician to date. It’s about time he was inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. Wake up people there’s so many others who shouldn’t be in there…
Great live show
I am presentation about Rory in the college. I would be proud to see him inducted as my presentation is about him being and underrated artist
Do it!!!
Rory highly deserves this
Rory was by far in the top 5 rock and roll guitarists of all times that beat to his own drum and never compromised his art form for money or fame. But his style influences many to this day.
Incredible guitarist, fabulous performer.
Please indict Rory Gallagher into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Rory should be in the HOF!! Great guitarist, great performer, a humble man that wasn't interested in hit singles. He just wanted to play his guitar and entertain the crowds. He deserves the induction!!
Dude STOLE everything from Me !!! But He was a half ass decent guitarist !!!
My Facebook group. RORY GALLAGHER'S COUNTY CORK PUB
Long overdue.
One of the best guitarists ever!
Rory& Tommy Bolin my 2 fave guitarists
W hen
Rory stole the show no matter who he was playing with.
Vote him in!
About time too!
If Jimi Hendrix thought he was the greatest guitar player then you should induct him
One of the greats. He's been absent from the HOF far too long.
One of the best and most creative guitarists and song writers ever! RRHOF can blow chunks!
He has been one of my blues favorites since the early 70s. My regret is not seeing Rory perform live.
Rory es el mejor guitarrista blanco de blues en la historia.
Greatest guitarist of all time
Man needs to be in this full stop
If the RR Hall of Fame was about talent, mastery, and creativity, not popularity, this petition would not be necessary.
I love all his work
love this guy One of the all-time great rock ‘n’ roll guitarist
One of a kind performer, writer and guitarist. Had he achieved the same level of fame in the U. S. that he did in Europe he would have been inducted years ago. Best live rock performer ever.
Rory was one of the greatest blues/rock guitarist ever. So voll of power and passion. Unmatchable!!!!!
Rory was the best! He played with his soul! Without a doubt he should be in HOF but then again, I think he is almost too good for them. They pretty much are just sellouts and Rory definitely wasn't a sellout!
Rory Gallagher the best all times!
Rory needs to in the Hall of Fame as her deserves that honor for all he contributed to music. The Albums, The Concerts.
110% every time he played. What a rock guitarist should be. rory rory rory!!
Mr Gallagher is not yet in the Hall of Fame, yet The GoGo's are? C'mon, this is the kind of thing that sucks all credibility from the Hall of Fame board & causes me to avoid watching the ceremony .
It is a travesty that Rory is not already in, especially when you consider some of the non rock people who are.
This must happen Rory Gallagher was the best rock guitarist of all time
Rock is So DEAD! The hall is a JOKE!!!
Rory el mejor!!!
Damn right he had the blues from his head down to his shoes
The greatest of the great bluesmen rockers
Roy was the best musician ever
It's ridiculous that he's not in it
The King
I will do anything to help get him in.
Cant think of anyone who deserves it more than Rory Gallagher. His music has touched the hearts and souls of countless of fans worldwide, and continues to do so. A true master of his art.
I listened to all the great rock ‘n roll guitarists during the 70’s and Rory Gallagher was the one that I never, ever tired of. Today his music is just as powerful for me as it was all those years ago. RG is simply timeless.
One of the best guitarist in the world why isn't he in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, doesn't make any sense
RG is The Gitarrist.
He was the best!
The Greatest!
Rory Gallagher is the best guitar player ever
Rory Gallagher should definitely be in he RNRHF. An amazing musician with tremendous talent. Eric Clapton himself said Rory got him back into the blues. Please induct Rory into the Hall of Fame.
Long overdue
Rory Gallagher is more than deserving to be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame! A one of a kind, unique guitarist whose love of music and his beloved strat places him as one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. Each day, more people discover him and are blown away by his impressive guitar playing skills. Induct the man!
rory is my second soul
There was no better blues guitarist than Rory… he took his Irish soul spirit into the world and never sold out to pander to the masses. He was authentic… better than that he was the finest of men, and you will never hear anyone say a bad thing about him. Playing live…he was untouchable! Please please accept him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
He should be in rock and roll hall of fame from both taste and solo career
Rory is already where he belongs.Jamming with the likes of Jimmy Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan,Roy Buchanan,Albert King…. in heaven.
A
Rory into the RRhof
I Live in Cleveland and refuse to go that ridiculous so called RRHOF.
And about time too!
Rory is an icon to blues rock. He played the notes like you want to hear them. No flash just down to earth blues in the Irish way. It is time to for him to be inducted to the Rock and roll Hall of fame. He is Rock and roll.
A one off, to have seen him live in full flight was electric, his mastery of both acoustic and electric was unsurpassed, a true Legend.
Please induct Rory Gallagher in the Hall of Fame he deserves many awards for all his work through the years.
Excellent musician, my favorite!
For me the best guitar player ever i have seen him twice and now i,m in a band trying! to play his work...not even close
Rory was epic in Music and life.
One of the best, of course.
This guy should have been in this long a time ago.
One of the best guitarists and performers I have seen
One of the best guitarist in the world..
Great
Add Rory to the hall of fame
Rory!virtuoso of the stratocaster and the blues
Cmon Rory
Rory Gallagher should have been inducted years ago.
Randy Galley.... Indianapolis, Indiana....
He was the best.
It’s Gonny be time that Rory Will be come in the hall of fame
Great music
Should already be in rrhof
Should have been in years ago.
Rory deserves to be introduced into thr Rock ' n' Roll Hall of Fame
Rock on Rory!
Long overdue.
He sand Johnny Winter should have been in there years ago
It's mindboggling that Rory Gallagher hasn't already been inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.
Rory is LEGENDARY!!!
Give me a better guitar. I'll wait.
Rory RRHOF!!!!!
Just watch his live videos and listen to his music. He deserves this, and more.
Simply THE Best
Rory is more than deserving of this honor!!!!
Great, great player
Does anyone deserve it more I was lucky got turned onto him 8th grade one of the absolute best
You guys know he deserves it. The Hall is about impact...every guitarist who is anybody and plenty who are nobody at all knows Rory was a genius and very deserving to be in the Hall
Long overdue!!
Rory was the best and a great showman
The one and only sublime Rory Gallagher
So many people in the hall that Rory would have (and in some cases did i.e. Aerosmith, Joe Perry admits) blown off the stage.
As soon as possible. One of the very greatest.
For ever the best
Recognize this great man. Never have I seen any musician exude the love he had for playing an instrument as he did. If you look deep enough you will see a lot of parallel to Mozart.
Make it happen!
Your decision to exclude him is an injustice that even surpasses all the years you excluded Rush. How can you deny the huge influence he has, to this very day, on Rock and Blues guitarists. He was a musician and showman of unsurpassed talent and style. To this very day, whenever I need my moral boosted, or need inspiration in my own musical journey, I access YouTube, type his name, and away I go, feeling renewed and ready to create and try to perform as close to his incredible standard as I can. He is as worthy and deserving to be included as anybody. Do the right thing. Induct Rory.
Rory is a one rock of the autentics musics of the world ..he is the lengend
One of the greatest guitar players of all time. Such an influence on so many other greats, that alone is enough. Please grant him his rightful place,and standing that he truly earned and deserves. In my opinion, greatest live rock performer of all time. He is in a class all by himself.
This is rediculous- he should Already Be in the Hall of of Fame ! Induct him NOW !
Greatest rock n roll and blues artist and song writer.
One of the greatest guitarist who ever lived
The greatest guitarist people have never heard of but SHOULD!!
HENDRICKS SAID RORY GALLAGHER BETTER THAN HIM MANY DECADES AGO IN AN INTERVIEW
Absurd that he’s not there, he was more Rock & Roll and talented that all of them put together. Saw him around 73/74 in Hanley, Stoke on Trent UK. Has never left me. Looking forward to seeing Joe Bonamassa play his music in Cork.
Rory was the best!!!!
Rory was and is an inspiration!! Brilliant singer, songwriter and guitarist!!! Loved him and his music for 50 years!
His the best
Rory go to the stars!
Rory to the top!
Rory must be the most overlooked addition in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's history!
The R&R HoF is becoming a joke with all the blatantly non-Rock acts inducted already.....sickening....
Authentic man
Rory should have been inducted over 20 years ago. Hendrix called him the best guitarist. What more do you need?
Unquestionably, Rory most certainly deserves induction into the Hall. His guitar excellence is fantastic. His enthusiasm for his craft at the top. Gone far too soon. Needs the recognition he fully earned.
It's Rory's time for the hall. Just ask so many inductees from the era.
He influenced Clapton, Lifeson, Slash, Edge and Brian May come on R&R Hall of Fame. Do better.
Do it!
Go ahead, Rory Gallagher! You're always in our heart, God blessing you. RIP❤️
Saw rory in Bridlington spar 1978 brilliant
It’s an educational gap that Rory Gallagher is still missing in the ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’ He has well and truly earned his spot for inclusion.
Best guitarist in the world
He deserves the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!! We loved him!
Rory Gallagher should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame because of his musicianship, for selling millions of records worldwide, for making a substantial contribution to the music and record industry itself and not least for his far reaching legacy and unquestionable influence on many of the most recognisable guitarists in the world.
Please acknowledge Rory Gallagher's pure pursuit and mastery of the blues guitar. Truly he dedicated his life to music. When he performed, we were captivated by his joyous energy. He needed no elaborate staging or visuals -- he simply held the audience in the palm of his hand. I saw Rory Gallagher in Tucson in 1972.
It's past due! It's time for Rory Gallagher to get his rightful recognition.
Simply the best Blues/Rock guitarist in the world - Shame on the Hall of Fame for not automatically inducting him - do you know your music ??
There are too many who deserves and he is one of them , top guitar player, top attitude, top authenticity, top music
Please induct Rory Gallagher into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame
I’m 86 and still rocking from The Peg in 2026.
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.”
