I love Rory, but nobody was ever replacing Mick Taylor in the Rolling Stones.

Women golddigging and players whining and acting like they have it as hard as a regular guy with a job.

Great film find. Grew up in PA and went to a few games in Reading. For minor league nostalgia this ranks up there with "Bush League to Bright Lights" that was produced by NFL Films - also following the Phillies.

This music is legit!

Playing with ego maniacs like Mick Keith no thanks..Rory and Brian Jones yeah

Thanks god he did not join those clown band . The stones were finished in 74, they had already done all what they could with beggars , get yaya , sticky, exile goad head soup and its only rock'nroll . Most of their work after that is pretty boring (lets save maybe black and blue and some girls but most of the songs from it have been wrote in the past and they just recorded it). Would have been of course financially confortable, but musically a waste . Hell when you listen to photofinish, its far superior to anything the stone did in that period. Also, what he would have done ? play some good solo on blues song ? they were not even using blues tune like love in vain etc in their show . Good decision to move on

He was too awesome to join the stones.

It wouldn’t have worked with those muppets !!

not an irish bar left

Larry times have changed!!!! that small Irish conclave is looong gone

Rory was way out of the Stones league as a guitarist and overall performer. Saw the Stones 82 tour and even George Thorogood as a support act blew them off the stage. We can count ourselves lucky Rory didn't join them, what a waste that would've been. Mick Taylor's the best guitarist they ever had,and no harm to Mick,but even he would bow down to Rory who was just so many tiers above him.Just look at all the great music we would have missed out on if Rory had joined. Kudos to Rory for not and staying true to himself, Legend ☘

I think Rory couldn't be a member of the Stones because he was an authentic bluesman the Stones have another dress code and make up they're more showmen

Rory’s humble genius would have too much for the Stones.

Would he have fitted into a band full of cockneys no !!

When asked why Keith didn't sing more. He is answer was, what would Mick do? The same for Rory. What would Keith do had he joined?

that's what being true to yourself means.

I interviewed him in Cork in 1983. This wouldn't have worked for several reasons. 1. Rory was a frontman by himself. So was Jagger. I would argue that Gallagher had better stage command than Jagger. How does that work? You're asking a guy who has better audience skills than the lead singer to stand in the background and play guitar. 2. Rory was an artist, with a certain purity of spirit. Imagine him being asked to wade in during some Mick v. Keith shit. How long could he (or anybody) put up with this? 3. The Stones were essentially a London band. Rory wasn't from there. This eventually enters the dynamic. 4. The entertainment press would have quickly worked out that Gallagher was musically better than anyone else in the band. The logical deduction would have been that he was simply "using" the Stones for a year or two to amplify his own name, and that he would then leave. "Ex Stones guitarist, Rory Gallagher" would then be playing to massive audiences who had an opportunity to view his talent. Imagine the constant mistrust as Jagger & co anticipated this move. Imagine the jealousy. I could go on.

Rory and Eric Clapton would have been a great concert.

Rory probably wouldve died at least a decade earlier if he joined the Stones.

Rory is a far superior guitarist than any of the stones members

Keith Richards .. pretending to be asleep.

give me gallagher all day everyday over the stones

Thank God Rory didn't join the Stones, look what we would have missed, Rest in peace dear Rory☘️❤️☘️❤️☘️❤️☘️

The Stones always needed another guitarist, one who could play, glad it was never Rory.

Woody's a good fit for the Stones.

I have loved the Stones since the late 60's snd also loved Rory. I don't think he would have blown keith of the stage but i do think he was better on his own with his own band and songs. Maybe he coukd have recorded an album with them, would have been really cool. Long live the Stones and love Rory

You can never trust second hand info. I believe Rory's story completely. HOWEVER, the other day, I was reading about Rory and there was a mention that he was invited to be a member of the Stones but he declined. NOW that was a false story...obviously he tried to become a member but burned out Keith couldn't come to when Rory was trying to ask if he wanted him in the band....Had Richards woke up and not comatose as he was at that very important timeframe, Rory could very possibly have been a Stone for at least a bit of time but it wasn't to be...Ironic, not that Rory's drinking would have abated if he joined the Stones...but just maybe the way life works out....just maybe he might have switched gears instead of needing a liver transplant from alcholism and died from complications of the liver transplant gone wrong within days after getting it when he was just 47 years old. Fate.

Rory NEVER lost his integrity....screw those dinosaurs playing the role of "bsd boys" of rock ń roll.....wasn't for beatles, none' these cockney/boarding school rejects wouldn't've had a chance

This is so beautiful and moving! I can't believe that I didn't get to see it until just now!

Rory would have been wasted in the stones he was a front man he was a fantastic guitar player he would have blown keef away and rorys personality was the compete opposite to the stones band members Lee Hambleton from Sheffield

Great comments but surely the main issue was lifestyle? Donal mentions it twice: Rory was emphatically not concerned with the druggy, beautiful models jet-set life.

Rory joining Stones? To humiliate them?

You know what would have been interesting, and a much better musical fit? Mick Taylor joining Rory Gallagher's band for a tour. But Rory withthe Stones would have been a fifth wheel. Might as well have asked Eddie Van Halen a few years later.

rorywas used to be independent,he would not submit to keith's ego,and his sound would not fit in with the stones,especially when they flirted with funk and disco music

I don't think he really wanted it - maybe guest on an album or some tracks here and there (studio), but he had his own material and wanted to follow that.

I think Mick and Kieth egos would’ve been too big for Rory to handle. He did the right thing , he did it his way.

would have been good to hear Rory do like strAy cat blues or honky tonk ,can’t hear me knocking

Keith was too junked out to talk .

he played blues and slide guitar, which they were all about. but Rory , one look at any film on YT you can see he's electrifying! he wasn't gonna be a team player when he already knew the love of his crowds, and the chance to be a genuine rock star every night w/ out the ROLLING STONES. probably for a lot less money, but he was a power trio guy. he was right to remain a solo star. tho it would be good to have some STONES records to hear w/ him on them. maybe for about a yr. or two, but he would've missed his own gigs .this guy was a star.they even tried to sign him to ROLLING STONES records earlier in his career.

Rory's creative talent as a song writer would have been over as a Stone,as it was always Jagger/Richards when it came to royalities.He would have just been there to play their songs which would have frustrated him after a while;I mean how many times can you play Satisfaction and Jumping Jack Flash night after night when you have better songs of your own which you are not allowed to play?.He would have gone from band leader to a bit player.Plus the constant treadmill of playing bigger and bigger stadiums for more and more money coupled with the hedonistic life style of groupies and drugs were not to Rory's taste either.I think that Japanese Tour may have been a blessing in disguise...

The Stones would have been Rory`s backing band.

Don’t think there is a need to bash the stones ..they obviously knew what they needed after mick Taylor and Brian Jones another great one to help them stay on top..

Stones have too much ego Rory has no ego and would not have been happy with them plu Rory was his own man To have Mick jagger jumping around and wanting the lime light would have not fitted with Rory being a modest guy And too talented for the stones

Rory respected his fans

Rory was asked to fill in Blackmore's spot in Deep Purple in 1976=5 after Ritchie had left. But Rory rejected that lucrative offer.. The man was genius at playing guitars

There were a few problems with this, but the main one was Richards. His excuse to Jagger (who admired Gallagher) was that we're "a London band". The real reason was far more petty. Gallagher would have blown Richards off the stage. Keith knew that.

hey!! the Rolling Stones and Rory would have been HUGE. the world may not have been able to handle that. Deadly Awesome Combo.
