SACRED COWS


Rory Gallagher	One of the best guitarists and blues singers ever with just a guitar and a harmonica, thoroughly decent bloke with no ego and died of liver faillure like a true blued legend. Altogether top bloke.

		BarristerBabyBatter on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Mate he was shite. Mediocre at best, a poor man's Pat Travers. Clapton, Beck, Blackmore etc. totally pissed on him. He enjoyed some brief popularity 25 years ago with the "it's cool to be loyal to slightly obscure guitarists" club.
		Bongomag on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Clapton? Are you fucking serious? Why do you think that cunt is called Slowhand? All because he is so boring and banal he use to get slow hand claps.
		tommog on Thu 27 March 2008 said... what?! Oasis have been shit for the past 5 years
		BettySwollocks on Thu 27 March 2008 said... I liked him, saw him at Knebworth Park a while back, more of a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan myself though.
		JiggeryCock on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Stevie Ray Vaughan? Now we're talking! I take your SRV and raise you a Robert Cray!
		BettySwollocks on Thu 27 March 2008 said... I'll see your Robert Cray and raise you a J J Cale
		MrsMoon on Thu 27 March 2008 said... He had great hair too, Rory Gallagher...but the daddy of them all was Jimi.
		bystander on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Jimi Clitheroe?
		MrsMoon on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Clitheroe is the daddy of all small grown ups playing schoolboys (see Janette Crankie)...i am of course talking Jimi Hendrix.
		CAPITALLETTERS on Thu 27 March 2008 said... I thought he was great in Shameless.
		SpartacusMills on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Read 'em and weep: Duane Allman
		Dollydagger on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Rory Gallagher was a fucking demon bottleneck player.
		GayBowelSyndrome on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Francis Rossi is under-rated
		felchlord5000 on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Yes he can REALLY play four chords, despite popular belief.
		McCrack on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Wasnt he that hairy cunt off 'they think it's all over'
		MitchBuchanan on Thu 27 March 2008 said... mccrack i had literally come in to make that same joke. mccunt
		BurningWheel on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Rory Gallagher was better than any of them. And they'd all tell you that, too.
		bastardcuntflaps on Thu 27 March 2008 said... He was a cunt of epic proportions. Whoever the fuck he was.
		bastardcuntflaps on Thu 27 March 2008 said... He was a cunt of epic proportions. Whoever the fuck he was.
		bystander on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Jimmy Page/Jimmy Clitheroe I can never tell them apart.
		rainman on Thu 27 March 2008 said... always make's me laugh when people say claptons a shit guitar player. won't even bother commenting further.
		morrisonhotel on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Good shout, OP. And to the cunt that said Clapton pissed all over Rory Gallagher: are you fucking kidding? Cunting Clapton has somehow managed to sustain a 40 odd year career of ripping off Robert Johnson. At least Gallagher had some originality to his guitar playing.
		BarristerBabyBatter on Thu 27 March 2008 said... For original read average. morrisonhotel you are a weapons-grade cunt.
		obidel on Thu 27 March 2008 said... shame, i used to like him on 'the think its all over'.. YOU BORING GUITAR WANK CUNT FUCKS. he is dead suck my nipples.
		obidel on Thu 27 March 2008 said... sorry just read posts from mccrak etc. just gave up reading all the other boring cunts. respect and accept my heartfelt apologies.
		felchlord5000 on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Ripping off Robert Johnson? Johnson only ever played slide. I can assure you that Crapton has played mostly without slide during his career. Hows he ripping him off?
		greatwhite on Thu 27 March 2008 said... And who exactly is Rory Gallagher ?
		obidel on Thu 27 March 2008 said... does impressions of Murray Walker on the telly
		bowelhazard on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Two words; Eric Fuckin' Johnson.
		bystander on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Isn't that three? Anyway Bert (Play in a day) Weadon is the one for me. Ok I have had the book about 40 years but I think it will suddenly click.
		rainman on Thu 27 March 2008 said... yeah that clapton's shit on the guitar. why would anyone say something as stupid as that, im baffled?
		GayBowelSyndrome on Thu 27 March 2008 said... Jaco Pastorius...
		BustySinclair on Fri 28 March 2008 said... having no clue who the deceased is and being completely unfamiliar with his body of work, I am just going to say: harmonica = cunt.
		felchlord5000 on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Jaco is a bassist.
		Barbersmith on Fri 28 March 2008 said... John Slaughter.
		MrsMoon on Fri 28 March 2008 said... George 'Blind Lemon' Formby Jnr.
		kwebb on Fri 28 March 2008 said... I can't keep up with all these new people in Shameless
		UnsungZero on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Get fucked you muso cunts, Johnny Ramone is the best.
		MrsMoon on Fri 28 March 2008 said... No, no Tiny Tim...
		everblazin on Fri 28 March 2008 said... its like NME-reading wankfest...i like more obscure musicians than you. Therefore I am cooler. I am not cool.
		MrsMoon on Fri 28 March 2008 said... NME-reading wankfest??? None of the serious musicians mentioned above would ever feature in todays NME (maybe Johnny Ramone, coz of punk, but that's it), they only like feotus's who have picked up a guitar 2 hours previous to the photo shoot.
		kwebb on Fri 28 March 2008 said... I've never met anyone capable of staying awake for a whole Cream concert.
		MrsMoon on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Have a snooze during 'Toad'...
		Dollydagger on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Wake up during Crossroads
		MrsMoon on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Go for a wazz during 'Pressed Rat and Warthog'....
		kwebb on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Has wazz - SITS back down again in Row E - taps hand on left knee in time with Buster - nods off again
		kwebb on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Edit - Ginger. Somebody just mentioned Booze Buster. Poisoned head.
		Dollydagger on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Get stabby to Wrapping paper

		MrsMoon on Fri 28 March 2008 said... get crabby to Sunshine of your Love.
		SlipperyGimp on Fri 28 March 2008 said... I like Ray Stubbs (from Gateshead)
		CaptainCuntflaps on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Have an acid flashback during Tales of brave Ulysses.
		GayBowelSyndrome on Fri 28 March 2008 said... felchlord, nobody said we can't include bassists. They rarely get enough attention or recognition (apart from that cunt Mark King). Les Claypool anyone?
		bystander on Fri 28 March 2008 said... Right, enoughs enough. George Formby.
		ilovemrsmoon on Sat 29 March 2008 said... Les Claypool???
		ilovemrsmoon on Sat 29 March 2008 said... Johnny Ramone
		POOSTRIPE on Sat 29 March 2008 said... saw eric clapton a few years ago at the albert hall....biggest load of shite ever.Total waste of time ,effert and money.
		MrBeefy on Sat 29 March 2008 said... Brian May anyone? I am, of course not serious.
		CaptainCuntflaps on Sat 29 March 2008 said... Les Claypool beats Billy Sheehan hands down because he was never in bland poodle-rock outfit Mr Big.
		MrsMoon on Sat 29 March 2008 said... Bystander, i already nominated The Formby, Mr Woo (Slight Return)...
		bystander on Sat 29 March 2008 said... Sorry, can I swap it to Cliff Richard?
		MrsMoon on Sat 29 March 2008 said... I'll swap you two Cliff's for a Hank Marvin....
		GayBowelSyndrome on Sun 30 March 2008 said... OK, Yngwie Malmsteen....
		MrsMoon on Sun 30 March 2008 said... No one can top the guitar solo by Neil Innes from Canyons of Your Mind.
		bystander on Sun 30 March 2008 said... Has HM taken some long overdue leave?
		goldentwattage on Sun 30 March 2008 said... Eric Clapton... the most overrated guitarist ever. nice sound on some tracks, good singing voice too. As a guitarist? Testament to what hype and ignorance can achieve for the mediocre. Paco De Lucia. Joe Satriani. Julian Bream, Brian Robertson from Thin Lizzy ( back in the day) These are guys are proper guitarists.
		BarristerBabyBatter on Sun 30 March 2008 said... Top guitar solos now is it MrsMoon? Being a bird, you can be forgiven for knowing fuck all about solos. Try Michael Schenker's epic live solo on 'Rock Bottom' or Randy Rhoads' live Mr. Crowley on 'Tribute'. Neil Innes indeed...
		MrBeefy on Sun 30 March 2008 said... FIGHT! No prizes for guessing what the girl in your picture is drinking, I suppose.
		MrsMoon on Mon 31 March 2008 said... Twas irony, BBB, dontcha know, if you haven't heard Neil Innes' solo on Canyons of Your Mind, shame on you, you should....Don't know about solos, eh? My nominations would be Jimmy Page 'Thank you' (the live at the BBC session), Jimi Hendrix 'Machine Gun' (Live at Berkeley, frightening!) and i'll have to give a nod to Dave Gilmour 'Comfortably Numb'.
		HaveABreakHaveAGreenDay on Mon 31 March 2008 said... Synyster Gates? Slash? How about Joe fucking Perry?
		rainman on Mon 31 March 2008 said... yeah that eric clapton is shit on the guitar....
		MrsMoon on Mon 31 March 2008 said... ...demon on the spoons, though..
		MrBeefy on Mon 31 March 2008 said... Shagged Davina McCall as well...before she developed the 'annoying gene'
		FredDibnah on Thu 03 April 2008 said... can you develop a gene?
