Winter was in his own category. With his guitar prowess and singing combined he was a powerhouse virtuoso but don't be too hard on Bo or his limitations because those simple rhythms he created are the chassis of R&R that Johnny took to another level.
Johnny W.: One of THEE BEST singing electric blues/rock guitarists ever. The Best top 5, to me, (in no particular order): Johhny, Lonnie Mack, Roy Buchanan, Terry Kath, Jimi H. Diddley's not even in the top 300. 🙂.
Johnny winter is the best rock and roll blues guitarist that have ever plugged in. Have you ever noticed how all the so called guitar gods from over the pond all ways avoid Winter. because they know he makes them look weak. All of them . Johnny Winter may only be second only to Hendrix but maybe not. The only show I ever got up and walked out on was Bo Diddley.
If you listen to Johnny Winter's Progressive Blues Experiment album from 1968 you could really see where this cat was heading to. One of his best albums
Overrated.......... He says he doesn't want to do what he did 30 yrs ago. When in reality he's doing exactly what he was doing 30 yrs ago. If Johnny Winter didn't want to come on stage....... Accept it. Don't criticize it. He owes you no favors.
Johnny Winter foi e será recordado como um dos melhores bluesman do Blues rock para mim que comecei ouvi-lo com 16 anos e hoje tenho 61 continuo a ouvir e achar que é o Melhor guitarrista do Blues rock .Obrigado
I like Bo. It's funny, like so many players I know criticizing the use of distortion, it's okay for him to have this over phased whah that sounds like a nervous chicken...... cluckity cluck Bo
Diddley contradicts himself, at first he says that he could only play rock and roll, that the others played something else but it wasn't rock and roll... hahahaha you're very funny, and then you talk about Johnny Winter's ego? What bothered Mr. Diddley was that Johnny could play anything he wanted including rock and roll and it was a million times better! Hug Diddley
Ha! Have to agree with Johnny. Hate all those jams where there are more than 3 guitarists on stage. Sometimes even 3's a crowd. Somebody always can't get their shit turned up and oh man, why bother. Trying to have some control over your setting in music is not ego.
During SRVs upcoming, many critiques in texas would say that he was a winter copy. look up SRVs interview at the lonestar cafe (part 5), the interviewer asks him about winter and he goes on to say that their playing is similar just becuase "they dont leave many holes while playing". Im guessing stuff like that got to him
Bo Diddley couldn’t carry Johnny’s jock strap. It’s amazing how other artists will put another artist down just because they don’t have the same attitude towards playing as they do. Johnny Winter knew more about the blues than Bo Diddley did if he lived a thousand lifetimes. imho
thats cruel man..and I love JW. even got into a fight in Phoenix when some idiot said too much after Johnny was led off the stage cos he was to fucked up..we all have lived a life and there's only one judge..Bo played rocknroll Johnny played the blues and they were both great at it. Giants!! I hafta ad tho, the next time I saw Johnny and he was clean and sober sat in a chair and played fro 2 hrs. still makes my eyes leak thinkin bout it.
While I love rock guitar with all the distortion stuff, I get what Bo says and I think ya’ll would if you think about how the rock of the late 60s and especially the early 70s must have sounded to his ears.
PUT THE METH AWAY!!!! AINT NO DAMN WAY JOHNNY WINTERS COULD OUT PLAY BO DIDDLEY!!! BLUES IS BLACK MANS MUSIC FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!!! SO AGAIN PUT YOUR METH PIPES AWAY!!!! JOHNNY IS A COPYCAT OF THE ORIGINAL BLUES MEN!!!! BO DIDDLEY IS THE AUTHENTIC NEVER JOHNNY WINTERS….NEVER!!!! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Johnny was probably still on the shit then. I know he was in 2006. My band opened for him. We all had to leave his trailer right before he went on. The tour manager said he had to "get ready" with a wink. So sad. The demonstration still had him. Rest in peace.
Yep, I opened for him in 2006 or 2007 time period. I saw him in his trailer but never met him nor tried to out of respect. His manager brought his famous two tone Firebird though to show to me which was more than cool. What a wicked famous guitar. 😎
I saw Bo at The Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland Oregon in about 1990 . He played the same 3 chords he's always played. A joke who didn't belong in the same zip code as Johnny.
I have so much more footage i took and more rare footage in my collection. Much guitar type music, that few have. I have Eric Johnson at the Beacon Theater in 1991 or 2 doing "Spanish Castle Magic" with two go go dancers in 1960`s look to them dancing on each side of the stage. Eric does a killer version. At that period he won Guitar Player Magazing best overall guitar players three years in a row. No one has ever done this before. He was a true guitar hero at that time. He and SRV ,Steve Via, Joe Satriani was bring back guitar players to the for front again. But when the leader of that movement with his mind blowing tour of In Step. He loss in a helicopter crash to the momentum, of the guitar hero movement. It was so sad to the picture. Also Clapton with his Journey Man tour was also another big time movement. But SRV was the man at thelead of the movement. When the king was gone, it was never the same. SRV RIP, he was to young to lose. Looking back there was great acomplishments. The footage caught by fans video cameras saved these amazing shows forever. SRV St Louis 1990 show dressed in red, was a classic. The 1989-90 SRV tours were so mind blowing. These time are now considered historic for the fans.
Just look at the jam. A load of second raters, grinning as usual to each other,like,ain't we cool.Ronnie Wood,there's nothing cool about randomly strumming 1 chord,like you're playing for the first time.Its actually pitiful. Johnny did good swerving this shit.
Johnny was right those all star jams are a cluster f**k. Johnny could be a pain in the ass too. SRV never talked about Winter there must have been animosity there.
In the mid 80's, GP put out a magazine called "Texas Guitar" or something like that. It was a one issue thing, featuring SRV, JLV, EJ and BFG. Johnny Winter wrote the foreward. I still have it around here somewhere... maybe I'll dig it out. But I remember Winter sorta put everybody else down but himself... particularly Stevie and Billy. He said Stevie was all flash, and no substance and that Billy wasn't very good and he sorta learned to play on stage while getting paid for it. So maybe that was fresh when SRV was asked, who knows.
The wikipedia article on SRV, under "Musical Style" gave this explanation, citing Mary Lou Sullivan's 2010 biography of Johnny Winter, Raisin' Cain, as its source for the information: "Vaughan's relationship with another Texas blues legend, Johnny Winter, was a little more complex. Although they met several times, and often played sessions with the same musicians or even performed the same material, as in the case of Boot Hill, Vaughan always refrained from acknowledging Winter in any form. In his biography, "Raisin' Cain", Winter says that he was unnerved after reading Vaughan stating in an interview that he never met or knew Johnny Winter. "We even played together over at Tommy Shannon's house one time." Vaughan settled the issue in 1988 on the occasion of a Blues Festival in Europe where both he and Winter were on the bill, explaining that he has been misquoted and that "Every musician in Texas knows Johnny and has learned something from him"."
Johnny and his brother Edgar had a lawsuit against a comic book company. The characters in the comic book were named Johnny and Edgar and were pictured with some worms doing what the birds and bees do..They didn't win the lawsuit but it was highly publicized. Later on in an interview Johnny talks about the lawsuit. Saying that him and egger were pictured having sex with worms..
It was against dc comics and the characters were called the autumn brothers, the two characters from the jonah hex series were clearly a satire on edgar and johnny and from what I understand the characters were the result of a ancient work monster getting busy with a human woman
I am still a fan of Bo since sixty years ago.Had mutual friends who introduced me to him,and was a guest at his house in 1968. But the performance on this film does nothing to credit the man's importance to the history of rock.The whole band is just jackin' each other off on stage.Ronnie Wood sucks really bad on this; he's the worst of the lot here.This shows why Jagger and Richards were jerky clowns when they got this jackass Ronnie Wood to be in their halfass band of circus clowns (excepting Mr. Wyman and Mr. Watts,of course).A Rock and Roll Circus,indeed.
Saying the words, Johnny Winter, and Bo Diddly in the same sentence. Is like saying fine hot steaks at Ruth’s Chris, then saying lukewarm vending machine McDonald’s hamburgers.

This is not anything Johnny needed to be involved in.
He would make them look silly
Johnny Winter is one of the very very best there ever was, but Bo Diddley didn’t say anything crazy. He had many great points that were very true.
Bo should be GLAD Johnny didn't walk on and make him look bad!!
CAUSE HE WOULD'VE
Johnny Winter is RockN'Roll and the Blues.
Winter was in his own category. With his guitar prowess and singing combined he was a powerhouse virtuoso but don't be too hard on Bo or his limitations because those simple rhythms he created are the chassis of R&R that Johnny took to another level.

Johnny Winter would blow him off the stage
No one would even be on that stage without Bo.

I was lucky to meet all three of these guys at the Ritz in the VIP room along with talking to one of my drum Heroes Charlie Watts
1:30 This goes to all Motörhead fans! and to their god Lemmy, who always claimed that they played R&R. It is not, and it never was.
Heavy metal is not rock , for me
For anyone Bo included who thinks Johnny has to explain himself that nuts. Just get on stage and play your damn guitar and make your mark

johnny was notoriously getting screwed by his manager at the time that was keeping him on drugs

Also Johnny was rude to Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stevie Ray was also on heroin
I agree with Johnny.
Too many guitar players onstage can just be iritating.

Bo your good but Johnny plays circles around you..

Ronnie Rock Star and Badmouthin' Bo are not in the same dimension of talent & skill as the legendary Johnny Winter. In comparison, they are a joke.
After 30 years ya think he'd learn to sing in key.
