I hate to see Slowhand get backhanded across this blog, but the dude constantly gets one-upped. There's no denying it. 1972, saw Clapton sucking a solid second in Melody Maker's top guitarist poll behind this Irish bloke, Rory Gallagher. Rory must have been proud. His tombstone is a replica of that very award.
Slowhand just got bitch slapped by Easy Dick Gallagher.
ReplyDeleteRory had great tone and lots of energy. Different type of guitarist. Rory was more of a Hendrix type player. Call it blasphemy if you want, but I'd of rather seen Taste in '69 than Cream.
