“The best slide guitar, unless you're playing the Muddy Waters-style, i...” — Rory Gallagher Quote

“The best slide guitar, unless you're playing the Muddy Waters-style, is the old '52 Goldtop Les Paul.”

“I could bear being in the charts and being on everyone's car radio 10 times a day. I'm just terrified of... a lot of people I respect have done it with a real little 'ditty' and that was the end of it - that was all they were ever known for.”

“The strange thing is I can't play jigs or reels or any of that traditional Irish stuff as well as I ought to, whereas I think I have got a good ear for blues, the tonality of it and so on.”

“I met Les Paul when I was about 5. I was taken to see him perform and the place was sold out, just packed and full of really great musicians.”

“I love' Les Mis,' and I owe it a lot, because I wouldn't have been born without it.”

“There's something about uninterrupted singing that just doesn't work for me, because at some point, I need my characters to talk. Without meaning to offend anyone, a musical like 'Les Miserables' would be the last thing I'd ever be interested in.”
