A guitarist & multi instrumentalist that was notoriously underrated as a virtuoso & influence in the rock movement. Despite this he held a dedicated fan base most notable in european countries like Greece & France, some of his peers who enjoyed his music were Dylan, Lennon, Jimmy Page, J.Bruce, Albert King, BB King. His influence on guitarists ranged from Clapton, Brian May, Slash, Moore, Johnny Marr & many others. Apparently was one of the first artists to introduce the popular format of electric songs followed by acoustic songs in concert, also one of the first power rock trios ever formed (within months of Cream & Jimi Hendrix).
Most notable for his energetic performances, shyness offstage a paradox to his onstage persona, his battered fender strat that was worn down from 30+ years of touring & his sweat which was slightly acidic thus peeling the paint, last but not least his schedule of performances 250+ a year for decades.
Rorys death came from work overload & pill abuse (not stereotypical junkie, merely took pills when working heavily as he usually was).

Rory Gallagher unfortunately wasn't credited by Hendrix as the best guitarist, this is a rumor initially said to Phil keaggy an acoustic guitarist often considered the best acoustic guitarist. Snopes.Com (investigates myths) has a study into this quote that Hendrix apparently said.
Rorys music lives on through his dedicated & growing fan base, he is recognised as one of Irelands finest musicans. As of the time of this writing a posthumous release of an album that was unreleased in his peak during the 70s is about to be released titled ''notes from san francisco''. Irish Tour 74 is still recognised as a masterpiece of a live album & amongst his best works. Youtube ''million miles away/Walk On Hot Coals''......point proven of why he is considered so good

Get the Rory Gallaghermug. A wise ass all the way. She will be a complete bitch if necessary and slap the shit out of you. If you get on her bad side, you will regret it. She’s a very smart and caring person most of the time, but sometimes she doesn’t give a shit. She’s very chill and laid back when she’s isnt being annoying. Very athletic and the life of the party. If you call her sexy or hot, you don’t have a chance with her. She will never see your bullshit and will shit it down right on site. Down to earth and you’d be lucky to be her friend.

Get the Rory (Girl)mug. Is the main character of the possibly best TV show ever - Gilmore Girls.
She grew up in Star's Hollow where her mom raised her alone though she was only 16 when she got Rory.
Rory is a smart-ass and got accepted by almost every school after graduating from Chilton Private School.
With the help of her grandparents with whom she - contrary to her mom- has a good relationship she was able to afford her matriculation at Yale.
She became a journalist and at the end of the show she joined Barack Obama's voting campaign across America.

Get the rory (girl)mug. A sloppy rory is a programming error involving a for-loop in which an array variable is re-defined at the beginning of the loop, hence creating an always-empty array at the end of the loop
A: This code doesn't work. It says array length == 1, but it's supposed to be 10!
B: Dude, you've done a sloppy rory, you re-define it at every step!
