[@freedomisntfree2089]

Look at him sitting there glowing in the blue light sounding so good. Such a legend. R.i.p blues man...

[@joeanon2415]

Hung out with him at bb kings club ny , my friend and i were his band guests ,great man, great musician had the honor of telling him i bought a original reverse bird cause i swore that it was his sound, his answer blew me away . He said" i swear that guitar will go with me to my grave, i think gibson made that model just for me" btw thats the sunburst . My top favorite guitarist of all time. He needs to be recognized for his guitar craft put him in the top blues players list.

[@larryhudspeth4072]

I still miss Johnny! Still love the story when young Johnny first met BB King. B.B. asked him " Do you know any of my songs?.. and Johnny said " I know 'em all , sir".... and then they played and Johnny blew his socks off!

[@itsmeitsmeearnestt.5772]

Two days later, Johnny Passed.... Miss You, Love You Johnny...

[@bryanmyers1435]

What at wonderful end to a fabulous career! Thank you Paul Nelson for everything you CONTINUE to do to carry on the legacy of Johnny Winter and the America blues tradition!

[@1zsuzsi]

I was lucky enough to be there....he signed our cigar box guitar....RIP Johnny.

[@cathode-kits1894]

wow, thats awesome

[@geoffreygibson5992]

Great props to Paul Nelson for looking after Johnny through his last few years. By this stage, age and infirmity had slowed him down and Paul was a better player but never tried to steal the show.

[@JoeSmith-xj7dp]

I had the great pleasure of seeing him live 2 times in the early 70's when he was in his prime. It has left a lasting impression my whole life. I have seen many great bands over the years and Johnny was truly the king!!! RIP Johnny!!

[@stevecocran4899]

It is prime you got to be joking he died in July and won a Grammy in February for best blues album

[@xkecoupe]

R.I.P the greatest ever...He played perfectly 2 days before his death. This is his very last performance.Thank You Johnny.

[@justinblevins9719]

Johnny Winter defines the White Bluesman. All others have followed in his wake and stand in his shadow . If B.B. King acknowledges his sincere respect , to anyone playing the Blues That is the highest praise . I met him face to face He was a very humble character , with a dry sense of humor . An Experience that I will remember the rest of my days . Sweet Papa John.

[@Shiltonstudios]

I was there! what a night

[@josephrumpolo7328]

ONE OF THE BEST THAT EVER LIVED ......PERIOD END OF CONVERSATION!!!!!!!!!!!

[@robertozanconi1360]

I've seen Johnny and Band some days before. One of the greatests and immortals. RIP

[@Hiwaystar396]

I was Lucky enough to see him here in Toronto @ The Docks before he left us! RIP Johnny! LUVYA!!!!

rest in Peace beautiful angel

I will always remember him from the late 1980s concert he played at Toad’s in New Haven CT. He was flawless. Too often I have heard others say that yes, Johnny Winter was a good blues guitarist, but that they didn’t consider him as important as some of the other more notable blues guitarists and successful musicians of our time. Yet he played and lived the blues man’s life truer than most, until the end. So it’s a fitting tribute that, for what would be his final studio recorded album he was accompanied by some other guitarists and musicians; here are their names: Jason Ricci, Ben Harper, Paul Nelson, Joe Perry, Joe Bonamassa, Brian Setzer, Billy Gibbons, Dr. John, Leslie West, and Eric Clapton. The Vikings believed that only by dying in battle, with sword in hand, could a warrior enter Valhalla, their place in the here-after where only the best could all be together forever. Johnny Winter has gone to take his place with the other great blues guitarists in their place in the here-after where only the best could all be together forever. He died guitar in hand.

[@ΔΗΜΗΤΡΗΣΧΡΙΣΤΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ-η9φ]

I agree, he was flawless and a great guitarist. GREAT.

[@amoruzz]

I too, was fortunate enough to see Johnny a couple times before he passed over. After listening to those old albums over the years it was a great feeling to connect. I was hoping that he would dig out a metal body dobro type guitar, but it didn't happen. I got it on the album's though! A wicked bluesman! RIP Johnny

Celui avec qui je suis entre dans le blues vient dans mon département en ce 14/07/2014… et moi… tout ce que trouve à faire, c’est d’être hospitalisé la veille pour 8 jours (opéré d’un rein à Cahors)… Nan mais j’vous jure…

[@TheEdie1958]

Reading about being a Soldier in Chirst it states as follow in the book of second timothy as men of yester year a strong resilience and preseverance. It goes as follow.. If we died with him, we will also live with him. If we accept suffering, we will also rule with him. If we refuse to accept him, he will refuse to accept us. If we are not faithful, he will still be faithful, because he cannot be false to himself. Have a blessed Christmas Sir enjoying your memoirs and looking at your childhood photo album it's surreal and endearing as ambassador of the Steel Blues and the Dobro Steel Guitar

[@billridge1178]

The God's gift to a bluesman RIP

Séquence très emouvante, sans doute l'âme profonde du blues incarnée par un guitariste de legende : The last skin of the old rattlesnake.

And JW-I also have a Firebird-My Friend has one of JW*S Firebird*s That he bought from -while touring-That is a keeper-He cried when JW Passed-They were Friend*s-That*s Mark Highway!!

[@michaelkoller633]

This generation is full of but heads. He was the greatest.. well its a good thing that he was not as popular as pop/ rap icons of this evil music industry nowadays. that means he is special and only the chosen ones( exegarating) can appriciate it. Ist something special. Every time i think of a firebird i think of winter. This guy was just crazy..

[@jimhamlin6475]

I'd figure some commercialized country freak,or some rapper idiot,... Johnny's the man!!!

[@michaelulbricht9438]

Johnny was the first White person inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. That's how respected he was and is. A true legend!

[@stevecocran4899]

Whoever said Paul is a better guitar player should have his head examined

[@stevecocran4899]

@@jocobcohen1835 you're right Paul saved an American treasure and a world treasure

[@TheEnormousPianist]

Pretty great for how bad he was feeling - he died one month later, right? We were lucky to see him just before he flew over to Europe to do these shows, at Saratoga CA with his brother Edgar and Rick Derringer, doing the best of the Roadwork Live stuff including R&R Hootchie Koo. So great, so lucky to catch him still doing the one and only JW thing. We'll remember you Johnny.

[@stratmonkey87]

He died the next evening in Zurich.

[@xkecoupe]

he died in the morning of 16 July Wednesday in his hotel room in Zurich Switzerland.

[@TheEnormousPianist]

ah - I was going by another poster's comment that it was a month later. So REALLY good for how bad he was feeling. Thanks for the OCD correction on the date. The rest of the positive comment stands :)

Geez. I mean I'm no doctor but someone should have pushed him to a rest. He isn't barely there. Awful to watch

[@edgarcook9607]

Watch the hands, not the face! And, Listen!

[@lisaengle6678]

That is the best hes ever sounded...probably because he was soon to pass.

[@doctorkayak]

ANYBODY can play guitar, some better than others. The player standing next to Mr. Winter, showcasing his own "wizardry" is a bit condescending in my opinion. Let icons be icons. RIP Mr. Johnny Winter, he is sorely missed.

[@frobful]

Requiescat in pace. Mais là c'est un massacre de ce morceau mythique; J'espère Qu'Elmore James le lui dira là-haut ....!

Pourquoi du respect ? Je n'ai pas manqué de respect pour l'homme et j'en ai et en avais, mais je n'aimais pas du tout sa façon d'interpréter ce morceau d'anthologie du blues d'Elmore James. Cela fait 65 ans maintenant que je suis fan de blues et j'ai le droit de m'exprimer. Non ? sans être traité de connard. Est-ce que je vous traite de connard, moi ? Je ne sais pas qui vous êtes et je n'ai pas pour habitude d'insulter les gens que je ne connais pas. J'aurais préféré lire : Je ne suis pas de votre avis : réécoutez ce morceau et peut-être que vous changerez d'avis ou : c'est votre avis, ce n'est pa le mien. Johnny Winters était génial et vous vous trompez. Cela fait 6 ans que j'ai fait cette remarque à un correspondant au sujet des différentes interprétations des standards du Blues, c'est tout.
