Here are some of his favorite and least favorite things in life29 June 2011I love Judge Judy. And who the fuck is that black guy with a bald head? Montela. My wife and I love this shit. Also, I like that Celebrity Rehabilitation you have in America, too. I watched it on TV, and then I went out the night after that Marilyn Manson concert, and that guy from Grease with a cane -- what's his fucking name? Did he die a couple of weeks ago? (Jeff Conaway.) He was there and asked me if I wanted a line. I'm like, What the fuck? You're destined to be in fucking rehab. New York is my favorite city in the world. I don't do it downtown much, but I love Central Park. I have to be at the trees, or I'm claustrophobic. People are there -- they don't take any crap either. Reminds myself a little of me, so I like it. I don't like jeans with holes in them. I love that they're gone. Levi, 504, never hit me. I like that they're a little tight in the ass, too. I'm obsessed with quadrophphenies. He gets me right away. I like that ballroom scene where he jumps from the balcony . These days, I stick to ginger ale. I don't have much time to drink. I haven't had anything since New Year's Eve. I'm just taking a break. I've been drinking for 25 years, man. When I go out though, I drink absolutely everything. I take a vacation on Lake Como a lot. Pretty expensive, but beautiful. If you go there, there is a restaurant called Black Cat in the mountains. It's outside on the rock, and you're looking at a fucking lake. Food is nonsense. It's amazing. My favorite album has to be something out of The Beatles. Fucking_ abbey Road_? A night of hard day! John Lennon Imagine. I like everything they've done. I like Lennon-style sunglasses. I got them at Barney's the other day. I need a little lenses in these bastards though. I've lived without them for so long though, so, really, fuck it. Available at barneys.com I don't like posh guitars. I don't even like them Martins. They're too smooth and polite for me. I love guitars that are damn loud. I have a 1962 Hummingbird Gibson who was beaten up a little bit. It's probably my favorite. Pictured: Gibson's 1962 Hummingbird There's no one I want to be, but Paul Weller of Jam has always looked so cool. My label, Pretty Green, is a reference to one of his songs. He made Paul Weller for the Pretty Green Collection for the summer of 2011, too. 1. Muse Muse scares me. They're like fucking creepy shit. But people like them. They at least play the guitar, but when I hear his voice, I like ... Ah, fuck it. After the doorman asked him if he wanted an umbrella in the rain during the interview: Umbrella? I only use them to glue people. I don't use gadgets. Like, people do all this shit on their phones. I just use it to call my missus and mates. Never sent an email in my life. I don't have apps. I don't even know how to download music. Similar stories for Irish-born Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher first caught our attention as the frontman of the power trio Taste, the famous band that swept the second wave of the British blues-rock boom of the 1960s to some success and fame. Gallagher began his solo career with the 1971 self-titled album and was on his way out, touring almost permanently until his death in 1995. Along the way, he recorded more than a dozen studio, and several live albums that showcased his incendiary style of play and underediced songwriting skills. Often overlooked in favor of contemporaries like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, Gallagher stands among the best blues-rock guitarists in the history of the genre. Live! In Europe (1972)Released only a year in the young solo career of the Irish blues guitarist, Live! Europe captures a young stallion prancing and preening through the stage, getting his feet under him and developing his dynamic show on which much of his reputation is based. Long on the interpretation of traditional and standard blues songs like Messin's Baby and Hoodoo Man, and short original material, Live! In Europe, the guitarist's reckless energy and youthful enthusiasm captures the early stages of a career that would have lasted three decades. Irish tour 1974 (1974) Two years after the release of Live! In Europe, Gallagher returned home to Ireland for a series of nine shows that showcased a confident, experienced veteran guitarist with a handful of studio recordings under his belt and an extended musical palette that he applied to a wider catalog of songs. Irish tour 1974 features musical highlights of the tour serves as a companion to a documentary of the same directed by Tony Palmer. The album offers an inspired mix of original songs such as Tattoo'd Lady, Walk On Hot Coals and A Million Miles Away, as well as a selection of cover versions of J.B. Hutto Too Much Alcohol and Muddy Waters I Wonder Who, standing as one of the best live blues rock recordings of the era. Calling Card (1976) Produced with the steady hand of former Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover, Gallagher Calling Card found the guitarist stretching his sound a little beyond blues-rock to include soul, jazz, and even pop in what would prove to be one of his strongest sets of original material. While crochet rockers such as Country Mile and the title track will be fan favourites on the live stage, melodic tracks such as Edged In Blue and I'll Admit You're Gone display another dimension of Gallagher's talents. Deuce (1971) Gallagher's sophomore album was released six months after his self-titled debut, but shows an incredible amount of artistic growth and maturity. Featuring eleven original songs, With Deuce Gallagher wrote a plan that he will follow through much of the rest of the decade, mixing rambling, guitar-driven blues-rock with snatches of acoustic country blues, intricate rock roots, and heartfelt RBC. His guitar tone and phrasing are excellent throughout, and his songwriting skills have evolved at an amazing pace. While Deuce has placed only one song in Gallagher's canon - Crest Of A Wave, there is literally a good track on the album. Notes from San Francisco (2011) This long-awaited lost album, recorded by Gallagher and his four-person band in San Francisco in 1977, was finally released in 2011 and turned out to be well worth the wait. Featuring nine original songs, some of which will be renamed a year from now for Photo-Finish, as well as several bonus tracks, Notes from San Francisco shows the artist straining within the blues-rock form and trying to expand his sound. The two-disc set includes a rock solid live performance from 1979 that puts (later) Stage Struck Shame. Blueprint (1973) Gallagher's pair of 1973 album releases will feature a guitarist at the top of his form, and are given a series of songs that will become fan favorites, performed by Gallagher over the next decade. Blueprint was the first of the couple, and if it is often overlooked in favor of the admittedly superior tattoo, this solid collection of material, however, is highlighted by including a raver Walk on Hot Coals, a sultry Daughter of the Everglades, and an extended jam that was the seventh son of a seventh son. The lively cover of Big Bill Broonzy's Banker's Blues is another good un, showcasing the acoustic skills of The Gallagher Blues. Photo-finish (1979)After disastrous 1977 sessions, which (many) later lead to long-lost San San San Gallagher split his band for five years. Stripping down to the power of the trio, retaining only bassist Jerry McEvoy and adding drummer Ted McKenna, Gallagher re-recorded several songs from the previous session for Photo-Finish, adding a few new tunes and pursuing a harder-edged blues-rock sound. While not the best album in Gallagher's environment, Photo-Finish still includes invulnerable fan favorites like Shinkicker, Mississippi Sheikh, and The Last of the Independent, as well as overlooked gems like Annie's twangy Juke Box. Tattoo (1973) Tattoo is an amazing achievement as Gallagher found inspiration to pen nine new tunes while touring largely in support of his album Blueprint, released just months earlier. Muse has obviously hit the guitarist hard as the tattoo includes some of the artist's best, and most popular songs of a long and prolific career, songs like Tattoo'd Lady, A Million Miles Away, and Cradle Rock Staples Gallagher live shows for years, While tunes like Delta-inspired folk-blues 20/20 Vision or Chicago blues-style Who's coming, with some delicious slide guitars, with some delicious fresh Evidence guitar (1988) Gallagher's latest studio album – it's a mixed bag of blues styles and performances by the guitarist, trying his hand at interpretations of zydeco, Chicago and Delta blues, as well as jazz along with typical dirty blues and British blues.
