Absolutely. Rory was the kind of guy that you could imagine meeting in the bar after a gig and he'd just talk to you like a normal guy. No cult of personality, no barrier between him and the fans. No logos, no image, and his band was always the very basic rock/blues combo. Not only that, but anyone who played with him seemed fiercely loyal to him and really seemed to enjoy themselves: never looked like there was any strain or battling egos or anything like that, just guys enjoying rocking out, and digging the fact that others were enjoying what they were doing.

Pretty unique really: we won't see his like again.
