Johnny Winter - I Smell Trouble (Montreux 1984)

[@leosag816]

So underrated. Who the hell gave Rolling Stone license to insult this man’s unreal ability with #63 in the lineup of best guitarists. Listening to Johnny Winter is an out of body experience.

[@GS-uy4xo]

Maybe they misplaced the decimal point - it should be .63 in the top 1, amazingly precise and soulful.

[@laudarevsonhunt]

i have him in top 10

[@msaintpc]

He considered himself a blues guitarist exclusively and refused to market himself as a rock guitarist or play stadiums, and at that time Rolling Stone was primarily a rock rag. If he had marketed himself as a rock guitarist then he would've been classified up there with Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Beck and Eddie. If you visit the Blues Hall of Fame (of which he was twice inducted into a long time ago) you'll see him listed up there with the greatest blues guitarists that ever lived.

[@briankoshefsky5916]

The question is who cares about rolling Stone really LOL

[@markstevens2291]

Especially when you were out of your body to start with.

[@frankmccusker6147]

One of the best rock and blues guitarist without question.

[@johnatencio7382]

I could listen to Johnny Winters all day he's one of my guitar Heroes

[@johnatencio7382]

His brother is awesome also plays mean saxophone

Outstanding Blues, guitar work, harp work, do not forget his crew!! RIP JOHNNY!!

[@JerryRiceBall]

RICHARD MC INTYRE The hall of fame is a joke. Im pretty sure johnny couldnt have cared less about that superficial bullshit.

[@msaintpc]

We gotta give Jon Paris some too, he's one talented genius, playing two instruments simultaneously, one with his hands and the other one with his mouth. Not too many can do that.

[@amoruzz]

Real blues lover's, the purists know that we don't need the HOF to tell us what a superstar Johnny was. In a bluesman class all by himself just the way he wanted it.. 👍👍

[@davidcable9325]

One of my favorite concerts that I ever went to was Edgar Winter. It was in New England, and i guess we were lucky to get him. He played for awhile and then, after a great set, he came out to the mic and said, People keep asking me..........where's your brother? Just then Johnny walked on stage and the crowd went wild. The rest of the concert was the two of them playing like they were back home in Texas. Amazing.

[@dougbohling9259]

I've always been able to identify Johnny within 10 notes. Sometimes those notes came in 10 seconds and sometimes in .5 seconds. So glad that I was born when I was so I can appreciate great guitar playing. Feel sorry for kids today who think Kanya is talented. The Winter brothers. That's talent.

What a great Trio! The best version I've heard of this tune.

[@delightschwartz2155]

Yes, I didn't know this one was in Johnny's repertoire, I believe it was written by Buddy Guy but Ike And Tina were who made the song famous for me. This is marvelous. R.I.P. Mr. Winter, I got to hear your brother but never you which I will always regret.... Until that blessed day when we're both throwin' em back and watching you reign at the Pearly Gates Blues Bar & Grill.

[@tekshield]

Wow what a holy crap moment! That was 14 and half minutes of Johnny Winters blues bliss.

[@tonyspada2744]

He was my hero as a teen guitarist and I owed him so much. I am so happy to have gotten to become friends with him later on. I miss Johnny and his amazing talent .Rock on ❤

[@billdespain6838]

Years ago I saw Johnny Winter at the Hollywood Bowel. He stepped on stage for just some Blues. Of course Dickey Betts stepped in to see if he could match the guitar virtuoso Mr. Winter, but soon and thankfully soon, Mr. Betts simply had to sit down, watch, listen and learn. Great performance that night and the other times I saw Johnny Winter preform. He didn't play the guitar, his fingers simply glided over the strings.

[@josegon4700]

How can somebody put thumbs down on this song.............guys that are obviously in the wrong place.......should be somewhere else because here........they do not belong!

[@281cu6]

There are a lot of haters for the blues. The problem is most of the blues follows one scale and count. This makes all the songs sound the same when you learn how it's done. Johnny Winter is very mundane in this way. Imagine painting something, then watching a ton of other artists paint the exact same picture over and over again. It becomes a chore to spectate it. Some people really enjoy listening to it. I enjoy playing the blues but listening to someone else play the same shiz is boring to me. I wouldn't down vote, but some dudes might.

[@arthurc1971]

It was probably Eric Clapton.

Saw Johnny in his prime at least 5 times. When you’re in front of him you don’t think anyone has ever been better.

I saw Johnny a number of times over the decades. Incredible person! He always looks so frail, but then he starts to play and that thought disappears.............
