Since you like the blues, buy a whole album of someone and just sit and listen. Don't watch on You Tube. Don't even move from your seat. Sit back and listen to a whole album like we did when we bought an album from the record store and couldn't wait to get home to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Buy a Stevie Ray Vaughn album. Immerse yourself buy sitting down, close your eyes and listen. Let the music fully envelop you.
THIS!!! You need a full immersion! I still remember the first time I heard PJ Ten. I snuck into my older brother's room, snagged the cassette, plugged into my walkman, and my life was changed ❤
I find it interesting that both Jimi and Janis Joplin both had their big breakthroughs at the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival and both are founding members of the 27 Club. Sad, but interesting.
You know Moll,when i decided to learn another instrument,i chose the guitar and my teacher asked who i wanted to play like,i said Django Reinhardt,Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray and he said to me "you wont live long enough"
To be fair, it's probable 1000 lifetimes wouldn't be enough; there's way more than practice to people like that. That said, I obviously don't need to tell you that because you know 🤣
@@claireburling8547 Yep,some apart from years of practice are also gifted.It must feel so good to be able to express emotion through a series of musical notes that come directly from your mind.Sadly that's harder to do with a drum kit.
*Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Healey - 'Look At Little Sister'* th-cam.com/video/2HmLFyvFxTc/w-d-xo.html Note: Jeff Healy was a blind guitar player March 25, 1966 - March 2, 2008
I love watching you discover greatness. I'm 72 years old, and we grew up with some of the greatest performers. Take a real step back in time, and watch Johnny Lee Hooker, Etta James, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and T-Bone Walker
SRV didn’t play the guitar….. He WAS the guitar! He was one of the few to ever invoke the kind of power and emotion without words! We just don’t seem to have any guitarists coming up like this anymore! Kids need to fall in love with playing instruments again.
The student, Stevie surpasses the teacher, Jimi. That, in and of itself says everything about Stevie Ray Vaughn's skill and abilities. He is all Texas blues and grit. RIP Maestro.
Yes!! Life Without You and Ain't Gon Give Up On Love both live at The Capitol Theatre next please!✌️💞..also check out so many live interviews with Stevie and books if you like to read...and to see his sense of humor check out Cold Shot official video!
If it's any consolation the first time Eric Clapton heard Stevie Ray he said that he considered quitting because he knew he could never match what Stevie could do.
He should've quit. The only good thing he ever did was expose people to the blues who wouldn't of heard it otherwise. His playing was derivative and uninspiring. Leave the guitar playing to the real innovators. RIP Stevie.
@@King14000 That's pathetic man. Arguably without the influence of people that came before Stevie Ray such as Jimmy and Clapton himself Stevie wouldn't have had the inspiration to create the music he did.
To get this correct, Clapton stopped on the freeway in England to listen to Stevie play, because he wanted to know who was playing. As for Clapton saying he thought about quitting, he had to follow Stevie at a blues festival. He said he couldn't play like Stevie, but the crowd didn't want to hear him play like Stevie, they wanted to hear him play like himself.
This is a cover song::::Voodoo Child is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and recorded by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968 .Members Chris Layton (drummer)Tommy Shannon ( bass), they added Reese Wynans (keyboardist) in 1985.
Saw S.R.V. 4 times!, the first time in a small club., We actually had eye contact!...my favorite guitar player., I was devastated when he died...R.I.P. S.R.V.
@@clasmaster1471 Meeting Eric Clapton is a bad omen for great guitarists. Hendrix, Duane Allman and Stevie all died shortly after meeting Clapton. Coincidence? Probably, but weird.
@@thelasticonoclast9467 Strange but true! It wasn’t long after I seen them that Stevie died. I believe they were getting ready to embark on the European leg of their tour when SRV got killed.
Stevie gave every song his all it was like this for the entire performance every time I saw him. He’s in his own world, but he takes you there with him. Transcendent.
It's like every 10 seconds he's doing something with his hands or body to that helpless guitar. Beastmaster, Stringbender, Legend. RIP, King SRV. ☮️to all
You should react to his "Sound Check." Dude rolls in half asleep to rehearse. It will make you appreciate the professionalism of the whole band and it's an amazing watch. Glad you discovered the GOAT. They don't make 'em like him very often. Peace from Texas.
Nobody but Stevie can do that... Never missed a note .... He has many songs and they will ALL blow your mind I grew up listening and have seen him live unbelievable Best concerts ever....
Mate, I saw SRV live in an outdoor amphitheatre at Sea World in San Diego California in late 1988. Best live show I have ever seen in 50 years of going to concerts. The entire show was fire. At one point Stevie Ray put on his wireless rig and walked out among the crowd (we were all seated). He stopped in a half dozen places to play. I got lucky and he happened to stop right in front of me. Got to watch the GOAT (for me anyway) shred a guitar solo from 10 ft away. My all time top moment in listening to music. Keep on rockin' Molly Boy!
Great reaction... glad you enjoy Stevie. I cried my eyes out when he died.... We lost a true American Legend. Now , as always , when I listen to SRV, so do my neighbors.
Okay, here's one you might like for your third SRV experience: Riviera Paradise, live from Austin TX. It's an instrumental Stevie wrote that pours directly out of his soul...after beating a drug & alcohol addiction that nearly killed him, Stevie dedicated it to others who were hurting and struggling with addiction, to offer comfort and hope. It's an absolute master class in guitar playing, but it's also a really intimate peek into Stevie as a man. The performance in Austin was just a year before he died, when Stevie was clean and sober, living a happy life and was recognized as a rising star & a peer among guitar legends. His band, Double Trouble had by then added keyboardist Reese Wynans to complement Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums. The 4 together were perfection. It's a must-see if you are a fan of SRV.
I’m so happy, watching you react to the songs that I grew up with! I’m a 76 year old little kid, enjoying your music, AND your comments. Most reviewers feel that they must YAK YAK YAK through the music we are all trying to listen to…. But NOT you, sir! Every one here knows ahead of time that you are going to “be kind and rewind” when we hear a great guitar solo. Thank you for creating the best music reviews around! 👍
I lived in Belfast for like 10 years and there was a blues night every Thursday night in The Empire. It was a residency by a guitar player called Rab McCullough who had played with Van Morrison, AC/DC and had opened for Jimi Hendrix when he played in Belfast in the 60's. His version of this song was unreal, but it was very much based on Stevie's cover which goes to show how great this version is. For someone to have opened for Hendrix to have adopted Stevie's version into his set was a pretty big compliment.
I forget how old I was (born '71), but was at my grandmother's house, in the 80s, staying the weekend, and she had cable TV. I was allowed to watch R movies on HBO and Cinemax. I was flipping channels and came upon a program called "Austin City Limits" that featured upcoming artists, and it was live. This night, the artist was SRV. I never changed the channel. He's been my GOAT every since.
Stevie always changed how he played songs, not the same every night so the drummer and bass had to keep the general beat and melody going so he could go "off-script" and be free to play what he felt within the song and they always came back together, real magic in my book.
Stevie Ray Vaughan not in my wheel house. I knew who he was in the 80’s but never really listened. But seeing him play, he’s ridiculously good. And yea that’s blues rock. I’m like you, my mouth is just open like what did I just witness! Awesome emotion!
Some people are too good. I play Voodoo Child and think I'm pretty decent... until I listen to Stevie Again and hear the million additions of flare or soul and am reminded that he was just an exceptionally special musician. It simultaneously hurts and inspires. Confounds and drives. That is the dichotomy of the greatest performers and what makes us all want to get better.
You are so smart to know who is the BEST THERE EVER WAS TO WALK ,TOUCH &PLAY SO WE CAN BE BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR HIM.. GOD WAS SHOWING OFF WHEN HE MADE STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN ❤❤
This is the difference between the artist today and the artist in the 60's 70's 80's & 90's.....artists today perform to impress and make money and get famous..that is their main drive....artists like Stevie and Hendrix performed for the art of music...music own their souls...dude....they did do it for an audience or money...they did it for the sake of music itself...which drove them CRAZY, Bro......CRAZY!!!!
Welcome back! SRV: Riviera Paradise ( instrumental) One of his last recordings. Saw him ‘85 at Fox theater in Atlanta. Then again touring withJeff Beck in Miami. Legend! ✌🏻♥️
I’ve been playing guitar longer than Stevie was alive, I even have an SRV Fender Stratocaster, but dang I’m no Stevie Ray. I look at my hands and say why can’t you do that? He is a legend for good reason. It’s really cool to see someone experiencing his talent for the first few time and having the same amazement as I did, and still do when I did.
All his performances are amazing. He holds nothing back. The music flows right out of his soul through his guitar. In my book he is the best there ever was or will be. SRV = The G.O.A.T.
Yesss! More SRV!! You need to check out "Life Without you" live at Capitol Theater. Another favorite of mine is "Mary Had a Little Lamb" live in Austin 1989.
The "other" guys in the band were a drummer and a bass player (& later keyboardist) who were known as "Double Trouble" when they played with Stevie. Double Trouble is an American blues rock band from Austin, Texas, which served as the backing band for singer-guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. The group was active throughout the 1980s and contributed to reviving blues music, inspiring many later blues and rock acts. Formed in Austin, Texas in 1978, the group went through several early line-up changes before settling on a power trio consisting of Vaughan, Chris Layton (drums), Tommy Shannon (bass). They became a four-piece by 1985 after adding Reese Wynans (keyboards). Whilst with Vaughan they were billed Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Rooted in blues and rock music, the group worked in various genres ranging from ballads to soul, often incorporating jazz and other musical elements. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Trouble_(band)
The thing is, there isn't anybody like him because he never thought "Is there any point?" When he heard Jimi. He just did Jimi one better. That's swagger. And swagger is what it takes. I took Stevie's picture once. I was at the University of Michigan in 1985 (never went to class, got expelled), Stevie Ray Vaughan was playing atHoll Auditorium. By the time I scraped up enough money for tickets, the only ones left were behind a pillar or something. I didn't buy any tickets. But I sat outside the side stage door and listened to the whole show. Then I went around to the back stage doors and waited. For two hours. The bus was pulled up and there was about a five foot gap between the bus doors and the backstage doors. Finally Stevie came out, stoned out of his gourd. He blinked dramatically when my flash went off, but I got his pic. I kept it in an ancient book I had. Lost it on a house fire in 2009. 😢
The expression on your face was perfect, and how most people look when experiencing this performance for the first time! This is the gold standard for guitar playing, by a GOAT candidate. I would have given anything to have been in the audience that night!! You're right about Double Trouble, they had the most thankless and anonymous jobs in music! "Third Stone From the Sun" is another standout song from this show, and my favorite, "Lenny", is a thing of beauty!
Stevie is indeed one of the top 3 guitarists of all time along with Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen , Stevie was mesmerising playing like a rhythm and lead at the same same time, just freakin out of this world genius 🎸💯🔥
I think you're a guitarist in your soul. I've watched so many reactions of people who don't play guitar & they love the guitarists but they don't Truly understand what they are seeing. I can see that u r Truly appreciating the talent, the feeling and everything that goes into being a great guitarist/musician. U GET it. And it's never too late to pick up an instrument. U don't need to be the next SRV to be an amazing guitarist. My husband didn't start playing until he was 19 and he is one of the most Phenomenal guitarists I've ever known - and I've been around musicians my entire life. It's all about the FEELING, man. Go for it. 🤘😝🤘
People say about Jimi (SRV's hero that wrote this song), and it's applicable to SRV: He makes non-guitar players want to start, and guitar players want to quit
I recall hearing a story from a musician that said most musicians get into the "zone" where the creative heavens open up and their just in it....every once in awhile. Stevie was in that zone every single performance.
I only saw him 2 times...I truly don't think I sat in my seat throughout either time...EVERYONE was up and moving to the sound! Freaking EPIC! Thanks Man! God Bless!
Stevie's older brother, Jimmy Vaughan, was a great guitarist as well - he had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Stevie wanted to be as good as his brother, but he ended up surpassing Jimmy. Stevie was obsessed with guitar - he was playing in bars in his teens, and would practice for hours on end - in cars on the way to whatever gig, in his room, wherever - just obsessed. You should read up on him. He loved the old Texas blues guitarists. I just found out about him about a year before he died. His career was on the up-swing, he'd just gotten clean and sober. He had been estranged from his brother and had re-connected, even putting out an album with him. Tragic.
Hey man, love your reactions! Take a listen to this one. This is the sign of a true professional bad ass! He breaks a string around the 2 minute mark and keeps playing like nothing happened, and you don't even notice it until his guitar tech comes out and hands him another guitar. He switches up and never misses a beat. Have a great day!
Your journey has been great to witness. love most of the songs you have reacted to. Keep on Trucking MollyBoy, scratching the surface is just where you're at...
He learned to play when his older brother left the house back in the day in Texas. Like younger siblings they use your stuff when you leave. He taught himself when jimmy was gone
Big reaction. Congratulations. "Life Without you" live at Capitol Theater is a recording that has competed for preference with Texas Flood Live El Mocambo. It's different, more spiritual, and with a long solo full of tricks. Stevie changes guitars during the song but most of those who reacted didn't notice despite the guitars being a different color.
Love SRV....it's great to see your reaction. reminds me of the first time we watched him on TV on Austin City Limits, blew us away. I was so lucky to see him live on his last tour, with Jeff Beck none the less....so CRUSHING to lose him. Thanks for the great reaction.
You're my favorite "reactor" & the only one who I've allowed alerts for when you put out new material. It is fabulous hearing the music from my youth through the fresness of your eyes.
The SRV sound check is fantasic. He looks like he just woke up and a minute later he's destroying on guitar. Also gotta do the Jimi Hendrix original Voodoo Child for comparison.
Great reaction! Definitely The Manic Street Preachers next! Faster, motorcycle emptiness, Motown Junk, if you tolerate this your children will be next are some of their best, a lyric video would definitely be beneficial to understand the lyrics. ❤️
THIS was incredible! I'm only on my 4th of your videos, brought to your channel by Layne Staley LHL, but I'm LOVING your other choices too. I'm seriously grateful for you and for being able to take this music journey with you. BIG Thanks! 😁❤
I'm a guitar player for over 40 years. There is no best guitarist but Stevie was one of the best for sure. I saw him live and screamed myself hoarse. But there's another guy from the same part of Texas; he keeps a low profile so many of your viewers will not know about him. But those who know, know. He's still alive and still doing gigs. I promise you, you've never seen anything like this. This is a Hendrix cover on acoustic cover but there is nothing soft and pretty about it. Little Wing live. Performed by Monte Montgomery. Your mind will be blown. Great channel, btw!

@@elizabethness3629 YES!
Texas Flood is a good one to buy and listen to. It's all fire.
Absolutely true! I don't think your folks don't understand what they miss by not doing this.
Jimi Hendrix wrote & performed this track originally back in 1968. He is part of the “27 club.” RIP Jimi
I find it interesting that both Jimi and Janis Joplin both had their big breakthroughs at the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival and both are founding members of the 27 Club. Sad, but interesting.
Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison approve this message 😂❤😂Amy Winehouse doesn't belong and is excluded.

Holy words bro 👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸
Not a patch on Jimi, sorry
You know Moll,when i decided to learn another instrument,i chose the guitar and my teacher asked who i wanted to play like,i said Django Reinhardt,Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray and he said to me "you wont live long enough"

He did another version of Voodoo Child on Austin City Limits, must watch !
Easily the greatest version of the song ever played 😁😁
You sir know something about Austin City limits back in the day and PBS 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The version in Nashville is my new favorite. The tone is so good.
The entire El Mocambo show is the stuff of legend BUT Stevie's playing after he got clean and sober in late 1986 is a whole nother level.
The live at Austin city limits version is the best that song has ever been played and the best it ever will be

Consider myself very lucky to have been able to see him twice before he passed. Both times were religious experiences for me.
Only once for me, but I feel the same!
Twice here, too! Saw him open for Huey Lewis, then headline with Lonnie Mack opening for him. Religious experience doesn't even start to cover it.....
@@brettkenschaft4239me too... just once, and it was a fluke that got me there & I'm eternally grateful ❤❤❤

SRV is unquestionably on the Mount Rushmore of guitar gods! One of kind!
Tightrope live from Austin City is a great one. That show is from just a while before he passed away
WHAT?! Oh, that. Yeah. Amazing as always. And! It goes without saying Mollyboy, we appreciate your appreciation and reaction as well. 😎
Jimi did a great song called “Little Wing”, and, imo, SRV did a beautiful cover of it, but without lyrics. Will bring tears to your eyes.
I was at the Grateful Dead show in Alpine Valley when Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed in a helicopter crash. Sad day for rock and roll.

He is a legend for good reason. It’s really cool to see someone experiencing his talent for the first few time and having the same amazement as I did, and still do when I did.
another Jimi song that SRV famously covered is _Little Wing_ .
dude was a conduit for divine energy.
As a guitar player, Stevie is one who makes me want to throw my guitar against the wall... ngl. He's the goat.
My guitars watch Stevie play when I'm not home. He's just insane on that Strat. Bonkers. My hands won't do what his did...yet.
All his performances are amazing. He holds nothing back. The music flows right out of his soul through his guitar. In my book he is the best there ever was or will be.
SRV = The G.O.A.T.
Yesss! More SRV!! You need to check out "Life Without you" live at Capitol Theater. Another favorite of mine is "Mary Had a Little Lamb" live in Austin 1989.
"Lenny" from El Mocombo is pure emotional gold. Every note comes straight from his soul. Absolutely a must see
The "other" guys in the band were a drummer and a bass player (& later keyboardist) who were known as "Double Trouble" when they played with Stevie.
Double Trouble is an American blues rock band from Austin, Texas, which served as the backing band for singer-guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. The group was active throughout the 1980s and contributed to reviving blues music, inspiring many later blues and rock acts. Formed in Austin, Texas in 1978, the group went through several early line-up changes before settling on a power trio consisting of Vaughan, Chris Layton (drums), Tommy Shannon (bass). They became a four-piece by 1985 after adding Reese Wynans (keyboards). Whilst with Vaughan they were billed Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Rooted in blues and rock music, the group worked in various genres ranging from ballads to soul, often incorporating jazz and other musical elements.

And after SRV died, the rhythm section became the core of the band “Arc Angels.” Check out “Living in a Dream.”
Reese is an extraordinary piano player

Great reaction mollyboy Stevie Ray Vaughan's the G.O.A.T of that guitar 🔥🎸🇺🇸💯 !!!
Stevie ray and jeff Healy doing little sister is awesome. Frank marino is another awesome guitarist
1984 SRV, Mohawk Park, what a concert!
MB I know why you're smiling shaking your head and grooving , cos that's A Genius Right There... I do the same too 👌 Stevie was just incredible 💯🔥🎸
As a Texan, i approve this video.
Keep up the great work, Molly Boy.
And thank you.
The true GOAT! Rest easy, Stevie 😢
I was lucky enought to see him play live twice, NEVER forget it.
The thing is, there isn't anybody like him because he never thought "Is there any point?" When he heard Jimi. He just did Jimi one better. That's swagger. And swagger is what it takes. I took Stevie's picture once. I was at the University of Michigan in 1985 (never went to class, got expelled), Stevie Ray Vaughan was playing atHoll Auditorium. By the time I scraped up enough money for tickets, the only ones left were behind a pillar or something. I didn't buy any tickets. But I sat outside the side stage door and listened to the whole show. Then I went around to the back stage doors and waited. For two hours. The bus was pulled up and there was about a five foot gap between the bus doors and the backstage doors. Finally Stevie came out, stoned out of his gourd. He blinked dramatically when my flash went off, but I got his pic. I kept it in an ancient book I had. Lost it on a house fire in 2009. 😢
I was lucky to see him live. It was simply amazing.
The expression on your face was perfect, and how most people look when experiencing this performance for the first time! This is the gold standard for guitar playing, by a GOAT candidate. I would have given anything to have been in the audience that night!! You're right about Double Trouble, they had the most thankless and anonymous jobs in music! "Third Stone From the Sun" is another standout song from this show, and my favorite, "Lenny", is a thing of beauty!
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Johnny Copland do "Tin Pan Alley" Another killer performance.
Stevie is indeed one of the top 3 guitarists of all time along with Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen , Stevie was mesmerising playing like a rhythm and lead at the same same time, just freakin out of this world genius 🎸💯🔥
I think you're a guitarist in your soul. I've watched so many reactions of people who don't play guitar & they love the guitarists but they don't Truly understand what they are seeing. I can see that u r Truly appreciating the talent, the feeling and everything that goes into being a great guitarist/musician. U GET it. And it's never too late to pick up an instrument. U don't need to be the next SRV to be an amazing guitarist. My husband didn't start playing until he was 19 and he is one of the most Phenomenal guitarists I've ever known - and I've been around musicians my entire life. It's all about the FEELING, man. Go for it. 🤘😝🤘
People say about Jimi (SRV's hero that wrote this song), and it's applicable to SRV: He makes non-guitar players want to start, and guitar players want to quit
I recall hearing a story from a musician that said most musicians get into the "zone" where the creative heavens open up and their just in it....every once in awhile. Stevie was in that zone every single performance.
I only saw him 2 times...I truly don't think I sat in my seat throughout either time...EVERYONE was up and moving to the sound! Freaking EPIC! Thanks Man! God Bless!
Saw him live 4 times…VERY blessed to have seen a guitar god in the flesh…RIP Stevie
Stevie's older brother, Jimmy Vaughan, was a great guitarist as well - he had a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Stevie wanted to be as good as his brother, but he ended up surpassing Jimmy. Stevie was obsessed with guitar - he was playing in bars in his teens, and would practice for hours on end - in cars on the way to whatever gig, in his room, wherever - just obsessed. You should read up on him. He loved the old Texas blues guitarists. I just found out about him about a year before he died. His career was on the up-swing, he'd just gotten clean and sober. He had been estranged from his brother and had re-connected, even putting out an album with him. Tragic.
Hey man, love your reactions! Take a listen to this one. This is the sign of a true professional bad ass! He breaks a string around the 2 minute mark and keeps playing like nothing happened, and you don't even notice it until his guitar tech comes out and hands him another guitar. He switches up and never misses a beat. Have a great day!
Your journey has been great to witness. love most of the songs you have reacted to. Keep on Trucking MollyBoy, scratching the surface is just where you're at...
Stevie makes that guitar cry and weep and scream and howl and beg for mercy.
Eric Clapton said Stevie was the Greatest Blues Player ever ❤❤❤ the Goat
He learned to play when his older brother left the house back in the day in Texas. Like younger siblings they use your stuff when you leave. He taught himself when jimmy was gone
Big reaction. Congratulations. "Life Without you" live at Capitol Theater is a recording that has competed for preference with Texas Flood Live El Mocambo. It's different, more spiritual, and with a long solo full of tricks. Stevie changes guitars during the song but most of those who reacted didn't notice despite the guitars being a different color.
Stevie can’t do what Stevie do without a top notch band.
It is a Jimi Hendrix original.
Is hero and inspiration.
Check litle wing, a jimi original, live.
Regards from Portugal.
Rock On mate!
Love SRV....it's great to see your reaction. reminds me of the first time we watched him on TV on Austin City Limits, blew us away. I was so lucky to see him live on his last tour, with Jeff Beck none the less....so CRUSHING to lose him. Thanks for the great reaction.
Tommy Shannon on bass
Chris Layton on drums, best rhythm section in the blues.
This is a Jimi Hendrix cover. Jimi was SRV's idol, and honestly, I think he outdid him, at least with this song. No question he is the GOAT!!
Check out John Mayer - Gravity (live version from LA). SRV was John's biggest idol and i think u will love his guitar playing.
ought to check out Stevies "Sound Check" yes, the sound check that's done before a performance, that'll blow your mind
You're my favorite "reactor" & the only one who I've allowed alerts for when you put out new material. It is fabulous hearing the music from my youth through the fresness of your eyes.
The SRV sound check is fantasic. He looks like he just woke up and a minute later he's destroying on guitar. Also gotta do the Jimi Hendrix original Voodoo Child for comparison.
Great reaction! Definitely The Manic Street Preachers next!
Faster, motorcycle emptiness, Motown Junk, if you tolerate this your children will be next are some of their best, a lyric video would definitely be beneficial to understand the lyrics.
❤️
Love watching young people loving my Era music. Think about it, this is what your grandma was rocking to. As a 68 year old , brings back WILD memories
That's how it's done !!!
THIS was incredible!
I'm only on my 4th of your videos, brought to your channel by Layne Staley LHL, but I'm LOVING your other choices too. I'm seriously grateful for you and for being able to take this music journey with you. BIG Thanks! 😁❤
SRV. Is nothing but FIRE
I'm a guitar player for over 40 years. There is no best guitarist but Stevie was one of the best for sure. I saw him live and screamed myself hoarse. But there's another guy from the same part of Texas; he keeps a low profile so many of your viewers will not know about him. But those who know, know. He's still alive and still doing gigs. I promise you, you've never seen anything like this. This is a Hendrix cover on acoustic cover but there is nothing soft and pretty about it. Little Wing live. Performed by Monte Montgomery. Your mind will be blown. Great channel, btw!
