I'm only 33 years old and I love Johnny. My mother played his music all the time.

[BillRayDrums]

When I was a little boy I'd gather my friends and listen to "Ain't That a Bitch" and be all like "ooooh he said a dirty word"....

[mrstanbmw]

Johnny came up in Houston with contemporaries axe men Johnny Copeland, Albert Collins, what talent. listened to Johnny recordings in the late 50's and early 60's, Johnny was a beast. great performer.

[dennismoodymusic]

@kgmoome: Actually Johnny was only 58 at this show. He lived hard and died way too young!

[bmwstan]

you need to hear his real early music like in the late 50's and early 60's when he was really rocking the guitar. He grew up in Houston Tx with Albert Collins,Johnny Copeland, You talking about some top flight Ax men

[deemoney1980]

[bensims1986]

this is soooo gay

[snoopwink]

[HALFDEAD66]

I saw mr. Watson is kansas City Missouri in the late 90's. I didn't know at that at that time, a year or so later he would be gone. 100+ degree heat and this dude was in a three piece suit rocking the house! God bless Mr. Watson!

[courageux28]

Met Mr. Watson in L.A. traffic while visiting my cousin's in 79...He was sitting at the traffic light in his Stutz Bearcat Convertible. We were like..."Hey Johnny, where the women and weed at man?" He was very kind in his come back and pulled off waving.

[Bluezking]

Frank Zappa mentioned Johnny "GTR"Watson in an interview right then I decided ILL have to dig him.

[marbleflat]

Man that alto player really got right in the zone. A small but perfectly formed solo. Sweet.

[crayzeone]

[MehefinHeulog]

[MUN7001]

he's dead

[Drivethebeat]

He passed.

[bacanito]

why is it being played so fast? :S

[anyhu4u]

most times it's because they have to play so many gigs in a short time so they speed them up to get them all in.if not they want get paid.lot of times there's someone timing them and tell them to speed up so they make the next gig.

[atrickpay11]

Why isn't he playing guitar?!!

[MehefinHeulog]

[columbia79]

Ain't that a real Muthur For ya! ATL Rep

RIP Johnny G W

[Rodrigo70x7]

[ladykier]

nobody comes close to lifting us like this man does .

[noisearchitect]

James Brown!!??

[ladykier]

James lifts us in another way but JGW has a sensitivity and a sense of humor in his lyrics that make me pretend he's my funkle . maybe theyr'e jamming right now -with jimi hendrix ?!

[artifactgrrl]

ubermensch

[bottome]

the most underestimated musician. yeah his stuff was similar but you always know when Johnny plays. Unique sound, timing and phrasing. I'm still gettin off on this seriously funky guy. And not RIP Johnny unless it stands for REST IN PARTY

[Aplustradomus]

Preach!

[salesmotivator]

This take me back 25 years growing up in Los

ANGELES

[1statone]

Boy are we missin him.

RIP Johnny.

[chillhood]

timeless joint

[bshahiyd]

Johnny "Guitar" Watson is truly one of the greatest INNOVATORS of his instrument! If the music industry wasn't so cold-blooded, callous and RACIST, "Johnny" would be a household name. In the words of the legendary Curtis Mayfield "WE DON'T GIVE A DAMN-WE'RE A WINNER ANYWAY!" RIP "Guitar" you'll always be OUR SUPERMAN!!!

[BigRickSharpe]

Rip Mr. Watson, too the Family, Thanks for sharing a great artist, father,husband,etc..still lovin this timeless music! still playin the Bass!

[broncofangj]

I remember sneaking in my brothers room after he'd gone listening to this cat. He is super funky....

[smackdabmusic]

What a performance!!! Watch the horns doin' the kicks and the keyboarder doubling Mr Watson's vocals...

[azijnseikerT]

I`m a fan of Zappa and JGW, what a suprise for me was that recently I found out that one of Zappa`s (greatest composer of all time) inspirators is JGW.

[kurtgeorgkiesinger]

yeah but only his early blues stuff

[janejanitor]

The late, but very great Johnny Guitar Watson. What a pleasure to see him performing. I have always been a fan. He does the blues and funk like no other, but his ballads are awesome too.

Miss him.

[lozerluna]

Now I see where Hendrix got his sound.

[johntguitar]

Hendrix got more from Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Albert King and early Buddy Guy. Johnny is in there too of course but those are the cats that really influenced his playing the most. Matter of fact, if you listen to Voodoo Child (slight return) it's basically Catfish Blues. ;-)

[HowlinWilf13]

And if you buy Jimi Hendrix: blues, you can hear Jimi playing Catfish Blues (and Mannish Boy).

And if you're interested in digging deeper, search out Robert Petway and hear the original Catfish Blues (accoustic and brilliant).

JGW gets his photo on the Hendrix: blues album, along with the other electric greats (plus Son House and Robert Johnson), all of whom had an influence on Jimi.

GHOD, I love the blues! :D

[demmykids]

Man i was up on this guy 25 years ago, and his music still sounds good. Is he still alive?

[breun1]

Sorry, he's dead.

[loosestudios]

Watson died on stage May 17, 1996, while on tour in Yokohama, Japan. At 61 years old

[greatpark34]

Mr. Watson was a true music innovator ...way ahead of his time.

[01tnql]

waaaaay too fast! still funky tho.

[AbbottSupreme]

[mostknown2]
