VINI REILLY [No 7 in The Times' Best Ever Guitarists]

Vini talks about his work with Gammer.

[@mrsuperger5429]

What an extraordinary and unique soul. Vini should feted as the true genius that he is. Best wishes, from Scotland.

[@donnarawlinsfrench220]

Vini has created a beautiful gallery of work across the years. He is an inspirational man and musician. All power to your creative heart and mind, Vini!

[@TheDyingPlant]

Great Vini . Durutti for ever

[@twitchygiraffe4636]

God bless you Vini! You’ve done some of the best avant garde/ambient guitar music i’ve ever heard and the music world misses you badly!!!!

[@siononeil-57]

Love you vini, your music has given me so much when I needed it the most. Thank you for giving melody to my imagination.❤

[@eymerichinquisitore9022]

Great man. Ciao Vini

[@KingMob.]

A musical genius.

[@nigelblair2182]

Love Vini playing. Seen him live quite a few times. Norman Gammer was also brilliant. Such great lyrics and melodies. Going back to my Champions pub days on Salford precinct. Loved it.

[@cosmicdrifter287]

Genius.

[@burnedbeans4170]

Why the deliberate close up on his teeth? Vini suffered a stroke in 2010. Such disrespect shown towards a brilliant legendary guitarist.

[@takexioxlxodkdjohnson6686]

So true...the man was blessed by greatness... deserves the same recognition and respect as greats like clapton, hendrix and page. A unique genius.

[@michaelsnow7252]

Because hes still a real person...fuck wether hes had a stroke or not.....

[@jasoncdebussy]

There was no close up of his teeth! Are you insane? There was, however, a close up of his face.

​@@jasoncdebussyPeople see what they want to see. That's the world we live in.

[@Indiecovers1985]

Very disrespectful, what a legend he’s one of the most underrated guitar players of his time. Johnny marr definitely took note of vini’s guitar playing. So disrespectful

[@jamesonjaksch4883]

So sad how much he’s contributed to the world of music and how low he is now :(

[@tintriumph]

HE MIGHT BBE A TATTY NORTHERN "TYPE",BUT WHAT YOU GOT xxxmartin taylor and, WHAT A LIFE,WHAT A TIME PERIOD,WEST DIDSBURY WAS CARPETED WITH ADDICTS,ETC OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS

[@underfakelights]

I hear what you're saying, and on face value, I agree. He deserved greater financial renumeration for the beautiful work he produced, he didn't deserve the ill health/strokes whatsoever. He seems a gentle, intelligent, insightful, introverted man and I wish the world had been kinder to him. But, close your eyes and listen to what he said, he wrote music that will live on forever and more importantly it'll be un-dateable. For an artist to still be alive and know that his music will live on, reach new audiences and be highly respected by those who truly love music. Well- if that was Vini's purpose, he achieved it and that twinkle of contentment in those beautiful blue eyes says he's aware of his contribution.
