And Rock continued to be dead through the 80's except for a select few...And SRV was at the top of that select few

I understand your grief. He broke our hearts 💔

I remember being a teenager, when I was first really getting into guitar. Then I heard Stevie, and I was hooked. The music, the Blues. It was an obsession. I was born in the late 90s so I didn't experience the grief of his loss like y'all did. On a more positive note, I can't wait for my amp to get out of the shop, should be ready in a week or two (tubes went bad). Fuck helicopters, he had so much Music left to give, so much life left in him.

This was the first song I ever heard from him on MTV, round the same time you first heard him.

Couldn’t agree more about “everything on the radio was terrible”

That's right. And he broke our hearts 💔

SRV FOREVER ❤️

True that slim loved that guy big time

I will always love & adore you Sweet Hot. Can"t wait to hear you again my love 💓

That's rt

We definitely lost something I can't explain.

We’re grateful for what he gave us, sad that he left us but his legacy lives on! The pilot should never have been aloud to fly that night!

Totally agree he is the most underrated singer of all time. Great voice great guitar 🎸 player. September 2023

Honey over gravel!@@raymondpetherick3214

yes. and like Hendrix, he didn't think he had "IT" he did for shit sakes evenneil youngs voice is tolerable

​Wow! What a dig at Neil Young. Stevie Ray Vaughan had a fantastic voice for the music he sooo fantastically played. I have seen both Neil Young and Stevie Ray Vaughn in concert. Every chance I could in the '70's I saw Neil Young and had the honor of seeing Stevie Ray Vaughn, in a small venue with about 200 people in 1987. While I haven't ever seen Neil Young again in concert since the '70's, I would have definitely gone to see Stevie Ray Vaughn every chance I got just to watch him play, and hear him sing. ​@@ricknelson5493

His voice improved so much over the years from the early 70's not singing too much, or as well. Until later when he took over and became the leader of the band.

not only Sky is Crying... our hearts too... SRV = Amazing artist !

👍👍👍😘😘😘

God Bless SRV!

I remember exactly where in this planet I am (sic) the day and date SRV died. RIP, SRV and pray for us.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Stevie would have been 68 this coming October.

69 & totally agree loved his voice & style too miss him forever

I'm 68. Listened to all the greats. He ranks right up there with them

Yeah is is great 👍❤️the feeling he put in his play!!!

EXACTLY !!!! Great take btw 👍

Well said.

Nice one hahaha

My oh my how that boy could play

the guitar for SRV is just an extension of his arms....:)

"A ring in a bell"

That was exactly what I thought. Thanks Chuck anyway! 🙏

Somebody raised that boy right.

Srv needs to be heard he is the greatest musician that ever lived truly amazing he will forever be my favorite

What a lucky boy to have a grand dad like you I'll start to show my grand babies the same. SRV new his music like the back of his hand

@@janawebb6490 hi Jana Joe here yes agreed I can truly never get tired of seeing or hearing his music truly in a category all of his own I dought he can be ever duplicated

Let's hear you, I beg majority would appreciate you. 😘😉

18 years old and I listen to him religiously. The man lived and breathed for blues music.

From the mouth of a very very wise man indeed SRV was a ,'force'

spot on...it's like the strings are struck by a force other than human fingers...

Stevie played in Bloomington Indiana once and a local guitarist we all knew opened up for him. P.K. said he got to meet Stevie backstage before they started and played his guitar. He also said the strings were a heavy gauge and adjusted fairly high off of the neck and Stevie had very strong hands so it was EZ for him to play while average guitar players would struggle. He made it look easy for him because it was. But not for us!

And the craziest part? He played entirely by ear & couldn’t read a note of music, just like Dicky Betts. I heard an interview with SRV once, & when asked how he learned to play he said “Jimmy was always jamming in the house with his buddies, and I’d borrow one of his acoustics, go to my room, & try to jam along with what they were playing. One day they heard me practicing, and let me sit in. I was hooked from that day on.” The rest they say “Is history.”

He was like an open channel. Legends never die.

The best was Jimi, Stevie was the second IMO

@@sagrado5 I can do without Hendrix personally.

@@AnnaLVajda missing out big time, try give him another chance you won't regret it

@@sagrado5 keep watching stevie live videos on you tube more melodic and disciplined.

I heard oh crap anyway it was on juke box it's a song its talkin about messin with his girl anyway I loved it ever more I'm hooked but many years ago my friend she drank to funny it was his brother fab birds wrap it up oh my gosh that girl would jump up no matter where an start dancing alone an so drunk but fun drunk life good ok I'm out

@@tarynciccarelloo57 WTF😂😂😂

At 9:01 he plays like no one period so crazy 😮

Listen jimi's uk version red house. That's the most beautiful thing i've ever listened to along with life without you

100% Rome Inn Austin Texas 8:40....Early Stuff before the heavy strings

👍

I was one of the lucky ones Brenda.

I was one of the luckiest...I lived in Austin when he was coming up and was fortunate enough to have seen him about twenty times throughout the years...some of the greatest times of my life.

July 13th, 1985 at the Majestic theater in San Antonio, Texas. It was awesome.

Twice: Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio. Have the T-shirt, still, now behind glass. A MAGICIAN best blues 🎸 guitarist, EVER.

I've seen many great guitarist. Stills, Clapton, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Buddy Guy, BB King & others. Non compared to SRV

Ahh Sandra you don't know about the great Rory Gallagher. Peace

⁠@@cianconway7572Rory was The sweet sound of the Rock Blues but you can't put him with SRV in the same comparison

I have my eyes closed and still can see him

Aloise Mason PREACH!

Yea........

I'm with ya.

He must have gotten it right this time around, no need for another.

Not saying your wrong, but have you seen the 10 year old from Austria or wherever he’s, spitting image without the booger sugar

who would they get to play Stevie that can play like him to make the movie believeable? lol

Yeah!!!!

This

Diamond Paint With Diamond Dave No matter who played SRV, they’d have to cut away to close ups of SRV’s hands and some views from the back. It’s the only way the movie would have a chance in hell of being somewhat realistic. He’s just that fantastic and just that unique, no one else could bring his magic-or his majesty.

That's a brilliant idea

Never ever

I prefer him to Jimi Hendrix 100%

his hands were strong. some say thought he'd break the neck!

His strings were 12’s. Like power lines up on a pole !! Early years it’s said he would wear the tips of his fingers raw. Super glue em and get after it again.

hmm you sure you were in the army? why don't you try that sentence again, without the lies

TODAY is a very sad day.Another great guitar player I didn't get to meet is gone....R.I.P. EDDIE ( EVH )

Jim Gaines is his name

As SRV would say Reese Wynans everybody Reese Wynans

Dude, my ex-wife didn't like SRV and she left me for the best man from my wedding, who didn't like him either. It was doomed from the start---they deserve each other. I am much happier now with Stevie. Hang in there man.

@@johnc1975 man. That's pretty fucking low of them to do that. People who cant get into srv are just shitty people. That's the conclusion I've come up with! Lol! Hopefully things are going better with you and stevie! And I know it is! No matter how bad a day I have I'll just crank up srv and all my sadness disappears when stevie's music hits my soul. I went to his childhood home last week because I'm from dallas and sat there having a couple beers and just thinking about how him and his bro were studying music and rocking out inside that house in a beatdown part of town and that my friend put a huge smile on my face!

oh I would be all over your.........................

Marc Cooper I think that was a good decision!

I mean, we all have different music tastes but...how anyone could not be into this brilliant, genuine, humble, and incredible human being is beyond me...they're probably Taylor Swift fans🙄🤷‍♀️
