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.

Christopher Scanlon

One of the greatest singer/songwriters and guitarist of the 20th century. His induction into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame is way overdue.

David Klasovsky

I bought an album of his at the hall on my only trip back in '99. I needed it after all the plastic i saw there. I wont go back til he's in, that's for sure

Rory Gallagher is the name for Cork International airport

Brett Gibson

He's the best live performers of all time.

Beverly Pott

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.

seres jozsef

The great guitarplayer is too early going to the big-band in heaven. R.I.P. Rory!

Rory deserves to be in the rock & roll hall of fame as he is one of the best guitarists in the World.

Kenny Craig

The greatest guitarist ever. Died too young

ALEJANDRA MÁRQUEZ

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.

Ian Boyes

The best original player for his time

Diego Castellanos

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.

John Benson

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.

Cynthia Armento

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.

Janet Mahoney

Best live gigs ever

Noelle Corcoran

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!

SUBRATA SAHA

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

Belinda Drake

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.

Pat ahern

Come on Gallagher is no 1

Jerry Jones

Do it and do it now. Even Jimi Hendrix said " Ask Rory Gallagher about being the best guitar player".

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

James Humston

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.

Theo Hubbers

No comment.

Tony Chappell

A million miles away but always in our hearts.

Rob

Not much to say because there is one point: Rory was the best!!!!

Guy OTT

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 !!

Norman Morrow

This is very long overdue!

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!

Bill Graves

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.

Rory Gallagher deserves to be in the Rock n' Roll hall of fame more so than other artists that already are for many reasons.

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!

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.

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.

Stan mackie

20 years overdue now. Unique improviser on his solos. More so than any other blues rock guitarist.

Tricianne Garrihy

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

M. Collins

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!

Wendy Pape

If Chaka Khan can be nominated and not Rory Gallagher, there is a problem..

Steven M Bell

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 .

Danny Ahlfeld

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.

Emily Becker

a legend!!

Nick

Rory should be on this list, he and his band deserve it just as much as Clapton or Hendrix.

No comment, just listen to his music!

JC Harding

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!

Mariusz

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.

David Morris

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.

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.

Stefan Krister

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

Chuck Sugg

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.

Jeff Hill

20 years after his death and still not in the hall? What a travesty!

Lee Maxey

One of the ALL Time Greatest!

Jörn-Holger Spröde

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 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.

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 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!

C'mon guys. He's more of a rock & roller than Michael Jackson.

Elliott Kazen

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

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.

Jim Ray

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”

David Noble

Long overdue. Come on folks. Sign up now. One of the world's best ever.

Linda Noble

Brilliant guitarist. Should already be in HOF

Domenico Baiani

steve

wats this crap about donations you either wanna vote or not you shouldn't have to pay to do it

sion jones

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.

Brian Monayong

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...

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.

Tom Peters

The best slide player I have heard.

Brian McCarthy

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

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.

Lee Hillery

Should have been done years ago.

Marc Romanow

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.

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.

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...

Pat Walsh

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

I'm blown away by this talent. Speechless watching him play. Ghost Blues!

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.

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

Terry kirby

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 Regards Dom Martin Player of Rory's songs Gladly keeping them alive and heard throughs Ireland since 95'

Christopher Scanlon

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 !!!

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!

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

Ryan Young

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.

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.

DANIEL JANUSZEWSKI

The greatest of all time. He and Taste way over looked. Now is the time to right this wrong.

Richard Price

One of the Best ever!

Yes! Definitely Hall of Fame. He was terriffic and one of a kind.

Thomas Bosher-Perran

Rory was one of a kind! Singer and songwriter! Incomparable guitarist who loved to play for people. No ego just pure talent!

Alex Stojkovic

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

James Jenkins

He was an inspiration to thousands!

The RNRHOF needs Rory. One of the best ever!

Robert Lecky

Induct Rory into the Rock n Roll hall of fame

A shameful show of disrespect he has been omitted! The best performer I've ever heard.

judy Riggs

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

Rich Bougan

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.

Geoffrey carney

Charles Wofter

I still listen to Rory everyday he should be in the blues hall of fame

Ron Wesley

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.

Cory S Gallagher

He was an inspiration to anyone who ever played and his influence and style are felt to this day.

Anonymous

A hero to millions around the world!

Michael Kupczak

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 .

Ian Brown

Rory deserves to be recognized as one of the Guitar Greats! Amazing player and musician.

Gerxp

Awesome multi instrumentalist. Very underrated. He lived rock/blues.

Craig Opphile

One of the best I ever heard. Great music still to this day.

Alister R Shanks

One of the greatest I ever saw!

Chip Ducharme

Was flabbergasted to find that he wasn’t

Alan Schnulle

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.

Mark Alldredge

Hall of Fame should be embarrassed for such an oversight. Rory is an ICON

Jeffrey R Piurek

John Brodie

Rory Rocks!

Timothy Baird

It is borderline criminal that Rory Gallagher is not in the RRHOF, period!

Brian Britton

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??? ?!

Nini Guevarra

Ed De Freitas

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.

Tony Swede

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

David Gerrard

Huge inspiration,a supremely talented and wonderful performer (over 2 hours, leaving stage with shirt wringing wet)

Christy O'Donovan

pat devine

one of the greatest guitarist of all time.

Betty killsnight

I miss Rory

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.

Guy DuHamel

Absolutely deserving of this honour

Tom Cooper

If anyone deserves to be in the rock and roll hall of fame it's Rory. This man deserves to be recognized.

Neil Kirkham

Long overdue

John Tully

Ledghammer, do this now!

Dave Markwell

So he should be.

Clive Robey

It beggars belief that he isn’t inducted, considering those who have publicly stated he was a direct influence. Brian May for starters.

Jacques Mouchet

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 !

Andy Robinson

One of the best blues rick guitarists to walk the planet influenced a whole generation

Robert Bennett

No question - Rory is one of the greatest.

ccr

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.

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!

It's about time Rory Gallagher made the Rock n Roll h.o.f, make it right

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

grande RORY estas sempre presente.

Rimarque cangussu

Agree with you 100%. Genius.

Joel Chernin

He was a revelation when I first heard him. Live in Europe

Robert Gallagher

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.

Alan P Atherton

If anybody needs to be inducted it's Rory, He's a guitar god.

Jimmy Keegan

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.

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.

joseph majikjoey harrison

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.

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.

Kevin

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Rory MacDonald

no brainer

John G Yoch

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.

Marc Martin

Better than all

Garry Greene

It's been overlooked way too long.

Robert Tipton

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.

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

Tony

Aram Thiel

Kevin T McCarthy

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!

Shane Jongebloed

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.

Silka Neumann

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.

Jeff Peters

Rory is long overdue to be inducted!

Dave Feely

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.

John C Purpura Jr

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

Lothar Jorra

It is shameful that one of the best guitarist of all times is still not in the RnR HoF. Rory deserves it asap!!!

Gustavo Luis

For sure

Terrie Bree

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

Simon Maurice

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!!

John Garlington

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!

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.

James R Olson

Bob Schmidt

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 should have been inducted over 20 years ago. Hendrix called him the best guitarist. What more do you need?

Arnold Martinson

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.

Terry Malone

It's Rory's time for the hall. Just ask so many inductees from the era.

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.

Lee Anderoan

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.
