  OH, geez - Stevie and Duane... and I love that fantasy. Someone really good at doing mashups could maybe put Duane, Stevie,  and a couple other gone-too-soon guitarists together, throw in some Clarence Clemons (dammit), and a touch of Nick Drake - okay. The gauntlet has been thrown down.

Bring it on.

The Boy is a blues Legend! i love it when he slides up and down the neck of his guitar. and his voice, yep he was all man.  No confusion about his sexuality. He was amazing, and had more gifts than most.  He did not talk or say much, just music, and those deep vocals.  Miss this boy much.  Wow! Makes my blood boil now.  Hi Stevie, thanks for dropping by.

Anyone who slags SRV for being style with no substance should, if they care enough to even revisit their comments, do a little background checking on SRV, maybe watch that PBS documentary... This man had more heart and soul than most of the guitarists today who pose, posture, and go for the histrionics and Townshend-windmill gestures.

I have a feeling I'ma get flamed for this.... ducking and running...

 
No flaming from me, Cynaera - nice post {#Clap}. I f*ckin' love this sort of driving blues rock, and love the singer's brassy voice. 8 from the toe-tappin' Nottingham jury.

if you dont like stevie then lay off of his music, nobody ever said you had to listen to him, but damn it you have to respect the man. How can you judge his way of playing? can you pick up a guitar and play it better? or no wait you are probably claptin fans and you realize clapton will never have half the potential that stevie had in his pinkie? suck it up and get over it.

 It would appear you missed:

A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan (1996)

Starring: Jimmie Vaughan, B.B. King

The following was a review of the documentary : "The greatest blues players alive today, pay tribute to the man who may be the greatest blues player ever. The full song clips of BB King, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray are enought to stir the soul and Art Neville's song "Six Strings Down" is on target for the long lost genius of Vaughan. The *interviews are placed in the wrong places but are still good material. The true highlights are the clips of Stevie Ray doing what he did best - playing the blues in another world."
———————————————-|
     Each interview had the highest of accolades for a musician who touched the heart and soul of ALMOST everyone who was lucky enough to see him play live, or to share the stage with Stevie. Your opinion borders blasphemy, you will find little support anywhere,and Vaughan played to an international crowd of admirers. While you may be tongue-in-cheek, if you take the time to watch Vaughan tapes/CD's, you will note that when live in concert, he never played his work the same way twice, as he was constantly changing, innovating, truly a personal touch. His music is a combination of talent, genius, and a gift of "creativity." SRV was the real deal, one of a kind, and history is in the process of reflecting it.
He has been deeply missed.  RIP SRV.

By the rest of the world, you mean folks like the late Albert King who was quite a fan of SRVs and known to play a little blues himself?  I think I'll take his opinion, thanks.

Never got to see SRV, but the live recordings from the El Macombo(sp?) or Austin City Limits are fantastic.  Such amazing technical ability combined with tremendious soul and passion.  It's rare to see people play who are so obviously and deeply into it.  I didn't truely get Stevie unitl I picked up a guitar myself, and if I am ever able to play even half as well I'll die a happy man.

I can't believe it either. I know not everyone is wild about him, but jeez. You couldn't have found a guy who loved playing more. He literally grew up in Austin bars learning from the legends.He learned some great licks from them too, while adding buckets of his own. Still, I never thought he lacked soul- oozed it rather. Saw him enough times to know he did not play by rote, thats for sure. One of the best guitar players ever, and a great composer as well. Ran in the family, actually. His brother Jimmy is great, too, just a little less inventive.

Saw an interview with Eric Clapton talking about Stevie. They were playing together and EC had one of his road guitars and Stevie had brought his "Baby" with him. EC wasn't happy with the way his ax was playing so Stevie offered to switch. Well, Stevie made it sing and EC gave him the guitar. High praise from the guitar god.

While this is your opinion and you're entitled to it, it really is a lot of noise.

SRV was a genius, he could rock and roll with the best of them, his guitar work is nothing short of magical.

If he leaves you cold maybe you should get out of the weather and sit by a warm fire.

Ray Wylie Hubbard's parents lived up the hill from me, they on Canterbury Court and we on Edgefield Avenue in Oak Cliff. Stevie Ray Vaughan spent whole summers in their backyard and pool. I saw him all the time. More than ten years after that, I discovered that he had become locally famous in Austin. Thought that was alright.

Lots of AA and NA folks in Dallas, Denton, and Austin have talked about Stevie plugging into their groups. Just a regular guy who tried to clean up his act, which he did, before he died.
