    This incredibly talented, brilliant rock and roll blues guitarist died at age 70...without getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That makes me so fucking mad. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is such a crock of shit.

      Rock and roll is the last thing that should have a "hall of fame." Rock and roll is rebellion and chaos, not trophies, speeches, and suits. That abomination should be firebombed one of these years.

    The Stones' signature rhythm section was a well-oiled machine that we all love and that ran beautifully. What the Stones' couldn't do was achieve this steroids-intensity of improvisation that lifts guitar-dominant songs into the stratosphere. Kudos to the Stones for creating this song.

      @Cradleof FilthySabotage Richards never smoked crack or freebase. Charlie is far from sleeping. He's one of the top drummers in the world, ask any musicians that have been doing it for more than a decade or two and know what they're talking about and you'll get the same thing I just told you. Charlie is a human metronome and can do more with a 7 piece kit than most of these drummers that show up with 30+ piece kits.

      @Cradleof FilthySabotage I did drugs for 23 years before getting sober. I know everything there is to know about the rolling stones aside from things only known by being a family member or a regular back-stage wallflower. Basically anything written or recorded about the Stones: books, documentaries etc. If it exists I've seen/read it. Keith has always been my idol, Charlie playing on beat (which ALL drummers can do) was just one small example. Regardless though I can tell just from the way you replied to that, that it would be a waste of time to try and continue a sensible debate with you, so i'll just end this by saying "Have a good rest of the weekend".

    I feel a need to tell this story because I'm getting older and I don't want it to never be told. In the mid to late 90's I had the great honor of playing periodic shows with the legendary Pinetop Perkins. He lived in my town ( LaPorte Indiana ) for 10 years. He would come to my house nearly every day. We sat in his car and he told me wonderful stories. He said that Johnny and Edgar Winter would come to his house when they were in their teens and he would show them how to play guitar. ( Top started as a guitar player until his left arm was sliced wide open by a crazed drunk woman and he couldn't play guitar any more. ) So he started playing piano and the rest as they say is history. He said Johnny and Edgar started showing him amazing things on guitar. I am blessed to have known him and I miss '' Grandpa '' dearly.

As he sang and played his guitar, he was also dancing around the stage! Everyone in the audience could not believe what they were listening to and seeing at the same time! He played for 2 solid hours! Why do the great players pass too soon...!?!?!? RIP beautiful Johnny... 🙏❤️🎼🎵🎶🎸

    growing up in the '60s and 70's we had a huge and endless assortment of bands coming at us from every direction.
    Johnny's guitar was there, but too many fans were tied up doing drugs and listening to what the radio threw at us.
    So if you didn't notice Johnny it was mostly due to the fact the radio didn't play his music or very rarely mention him!
    People tend to learn what they get from the mainstream media which again was predominately radio back in the '70s.
    my point is, this explains why performers like Jimmy Page and Jimmy Hendrix are more known than Johnny.
    but there were people like myself who upon hearing and listening to those rare moments when Johnny was being played, recognized Johnny's style and talent as being well above those performers who became famous because most fans never adventures beyond that radio.
    there are many who will never understand what I'm saying here and then there are those who will know exactly what I'm staying!

      @Kevin James I have several of Johnny Winter albums, CD's, I've been listening to Johnny since my first stereo back around 1970 approx, as the years went by I stayed tuned to anything Johnny created and around 1976 he put out that "Captured Alive" album.
      in my area of the world we had two Malls each Mall had at least two record stores, I can still remember going into the then University Mall and seeing the Johnny Winter Captured Alive album with that exceptional picture of Johnny on the front cover.
      I paid something like maybe $5.00 and couldn't wait to take it home and play it.
      to this day I still get taken away at the enormous speed and non-stop riffs on Captured Alive.
      And what a glorious name for the Album!
      I used to think why didn't Johnny put out more albums like the Captured Alive, I mean I had the "Johnny Winter And" album which is a good example of Johnny's talents, but the Captured Alive is like a whole other Johnny showed up!
      when a younger person is talking about guitar players I can't help but point them to this album?
      I describe it as one long endless guitar riff from beginning to end with no hesitation.
      I don't know if you noticed but most guitar players when playing riffs, the riffs only last for a few seconds and often during the riff the player will hesitate. Now I'm not saying all players, just most players.
      Johnny's guitar playing is the absolute most non-hesitant and fluid guitar I've heard!
      If you were to ask me what was Johnny's best performance era of his career, I would have to say around the 1976 years,
      at this point in time people were tuned into the radio, and that is pretty much all these fans knew.
      people unfortunately are like plastic, they depend on the commercial world for their culture needs.
      I'm so thankful we had Johnny to show and prove to us that that commercial world doesn't define the best!
      thank you, Johnny!!!

    Down on Granville Street which used to be Theatre Row ....
    Well on Friday I shot 100 ASA /35 mm with a flash , was right up front but Johnny hated the flash and avoided me ..
    I went back again Saturday this time with 400 asa and no flash ...He played in front of me most of the night ..was awesome ..then he played his last song went off stage ..everyone screaming for an encore ..Johnny comes out stands right in front of me ...Grabs the mike and says ...and now Id like to play '' right then I yelled up to him Bony Moronie
    Johnny looked down at me and yelled into the Mike ""BONY MORONIE"" ...Interacting with my hero like that is...Brings a big smile to my face every time I think about it ....All the photo's I shot of him over the 2 nights I got one with his eyes open ...he played with his eyes closed ....

It was great live performance and the sound was loud and clear. His unique vocals and blues - blues rock - rock n roll guitar playing style blue me away. I keep searching for that particular tour but no luck. It was a notch up on the heavy side.

Captured live album kicks ass too. Boney Maronie intro is one of the biggest guitar openers of all times to me .Try to play it ?? Our generation is getting old. We learned from these guys , and then Ed showed up, and now he is gone . I saw Ed up close in 78 with his white and black guitar, his Ibanez Destroyer and his Marshalls blazin, a life changing moment for a 17 year old guitar player. Best display of musicianship I ever witnessed
