Met him & his band backstage at a music festival. As down to earth and real as anyone I ever met. And these are my kind of people. I’m a straight male but I have loved Johnny like a brother. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know him. -Matt’s dad Dan

Lifetime hero, missed so much. What a phenomenal player and the sweetest humble guy. RIP John Dawson III I'll see you at the other side brother.

Johnny's so soft spoken...but man is he different on stage..

“Muddy and the Wolf” really made me smile.

Man that's one of the most beautiful being that ever walked in this earth , to me Johnny is just the whole pack put together , the blues , the country and the Rock and Roll , and he was albino , to me he's the one . There is not one single day that I don't think of him with the deepest respect and love for his music and legacy .

This man is the best guitarist ever!

The fact that Johnny Winter is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Frame proves that it is an absolute joke. This interview is deep and informative and should be on a continuous loop there.

I love This ... Johnny Winter is the TRUTH !!! RIP sir we'll see you on the other side of all this.......

A real guitar hero !

I fucking love Johnny Winter

The best blues man that ever lived!!!!!!!!!!

Johnny was the best 🎵👍

Yes Johnny was soft spoken but his guitar playing was at the other end of the spectrum. Loud, screaming and whailing. He also made his guitars sing. His fingers did all the singing as well. Your fans love you Johnny me included. RIP and God Bless.

Man, I followed him since '70's high school...my 1️⃣st real guitar hero. ❤️ It’s interesting how he reflects on his early, voracious appetite for ALL blues recordings...BUT didn't initially focus on the early country blues, it was the electric blues that 1st captured his attention. Ironically, I too, was much the same, but as my tastes & listening experiences deepened, my love for the early pioneers of genre, truly grew. He speaks from the heart, very intelligent, (Tommy Shannon insisted that BOTH Johnny & Egar are not only musical virtuosos, but intellectual geniuses). This was a great interview, thanks. 👍 🇨🇦

And it was a privilege to see and hear his performances.

I followed Jonny's journey the blues since I was just a kid! Being born in 1956 I lived through the best music EVER! Jonny is and will always be my favorite! I fell in love with the blues in the 60s before it became mainstream and cool! Thanks for the memories Jonny! Ray Boston Massachusetts

Johnny Winter - Champion & Legend RIP

A true and I do mean a true rock and roll the greatest we'll miss the whole world will miss him,,,,,,,,,,,!,,,,,, never be another Johnny Winter

Forever thankful to my friend Bob Rama who introduced me to the depth of John Dawson Winter. RIP my two friends.

I am mesmerized by this man's super riffing, and also his deep feeling!....and he knew, hung out with, and recorded a few tunes with the most iconic player of all, Jimi Hendrix!...The sheer talent, and dedication to their art, will stand the test of time....in an odd way, Hendrix and Johnny just had to happen at the same time....it was a cosmic pairing of unique musicians!

this was a great interview. all his early insights and influences. very cool to hear this from him.

In addition to being a fantastic musician, A real gentleman, A class act and an American treasure. I sure miss JDW....

Johnny could play that guitar like ringing a bell 💯🙌🏼

Being from Brazil start to like music at age 14,listen to Jimi and was hooked in guitar right there. Led me to Johnny and is an instant became my hero,start buying his albums and the love kept growing.My girl gave me a dog,got him and when asked how would name him , said his name is Winter.Little did i know how the name fit my dog,as he grow from a pup to his size race,,english pointer in a way was much like Johnny. So much energy,fast could outrun any dog,jump so high,even dive head in the water to pick up heavy rocks in the ocean.Moved to the States and saw my hero three times live during my life.Also because of him got a treat to see Muddy Waters at The Roxy on Sunset Blvd.Loved the man and the musician...RIP my hero,sure miss you

IMHO... Johnny was the greatest guitar player of the past several decades, maybe ever.. I sure do miss seeing him play..really the greatest to see live. Just incredible skills.✌️❤️😁 God bless you Johnny. RIP. And thanx again man.

He is compelling to watch and a pleasure to listen to.

Awesome interview 🎉 thank you for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8

Love that man still alive and well

That song stranger !!! Wow

I love you Johnny , you're the coolest ever !!

My fav Texas bluesman.

Got to see him several times in the 80s at smaller rock/blues clubs and the smaller rock stage at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Despite his ability, he wasn't filling up larger venues like so many lesser talented acts. Could never get over seeing this small, frail looking guy take the stage and put out that magnificent smoking electric blues sound. Glad I got to see him when he was still with us and so saddened to hear of his passing.

Johnny winter Rock on

I love his talking voice and singing voice, miss him dearly

Johnny Winter during the Alligator records years, great interview.

Johnny was a smart guy, it shows and man did he wanna play!

I’m so grateful to have seen him at the palace theater in Hilo Hawaii aloha Johnny

I love Johnnys music and Edgars both were beasts in music.

If given the choice of hearing/watching any single musician play and sing solo on a beach with no power, Johnny would've been number one, just ahead of Paul McCartney. Saw JDW ~ 10 times, just the best and most versatile (blues/rock/country-tinged jazz, etc.) singer/guitar slinger combo of all-time, IMHO. R.I.P. Johnny

I've seen him in concert 27 times from 1975 to 1994 or so

In the summer of 1969(I think), I saw saw BB King and Johnny Winter in a small bar, with psychedelic light show in downtown Cleveland, call the Uphoria. Buddy Miles backed them up on drums. The following year Johnny Winter headlined his own show in Cleveland's Severance Hall, with his famous Rock n' Roll Hoochie Coo and others!

the great johnny

Yeah, but those intricately finger picked songs from those old guys was a true art form. Very difficult to catch on to. Appreciate the hours and love of craft they put in. Folks more into the electric sound these days.

Great interview. Johnny is more revealing than I've heard him before. Still haven't heard him say why he covered Stones so often. I figure it's because they popularized the stuff he already knew and loved. And Mick and Keith soon knew that. They were white boys bringing it back, but Johnny was there all the time.

You make a good point...Johnny in his earlier years was not the most revealing person to interview...I think his major tussle with heroin and alcohol during the 70s brought him down for awhile....but then he just got it together even more so after that dark time!..As a forever fan of Hendrix, I wish Johnny could have expounded more than he did, as to his thoughts about Jimi.
