Anybody disliking an SRV song doesn't know a damn thing about guitar. Legend!

[rdigital]

Because of his guitar greatness everybody forgets that Stevie had such a great voice too

[fjk]

I remember watching this live back in the day. SRV was off of drugs and alcohol at this point, and his band was really on top of their game. Everything was looking up for them until just over a year later. The day he died was my first day of college, and a part of me died with him that day. He was my favorite guitar player at the time and I never really got over it. SRV RIP.

[TonyinMBSC]

If I could bring back any deceased musician, it would be Stevie. He was awesome! One of if not the best guitarist ever.

[robfrye]

I'm 74, and SRV still gives me the chills! One amazing musician, so sad to have lost him! Only the good die young!

[SuperAce]

EVERY interview I have seen with SRV, he ALWAYS comes across as a genuine and considerate person. You dont fake that. Stevie, you left us far too soon.

[dulynoted]

A friend and new roomy I had and I drove up north to catch a few bars out of Calumet City. I had a 90 min cassette SRV, first he'd heard Stevie. He was so blown away, he got tickets for him and his gf. Little did he know, it'd be Stevie's last show in Alpine.
Nobody like Stevie since.

[marcusharjo]

Been gone for over 30 years but still remembered. RIP Mr. Vaughan.

Stevie was just warming up. He'd play 5 to 6 hrs gigs and never missed a beat. A true cool guy and so very humble.

[jamesdrinkwater]

I’m always amazed at how soft-spoken and humble he was. He never let his talent and rising fame go to his head

[kevinmullins]

The greatest guitar player who ever lived!!!

[jimcurry]

It’s amazing how when he was on stage playing he had such intensity and fire. Yet off stage sitting in that chair he’s so soft spoken and down to earth.

It seems that you can tell he went to hell and back with drugs and alcohol. But then he was clean and sober and had his like in a good place and so centered. A real tragedy that he was taken when he had so much left to give. I can only imagine what he would have produced over a long career.

[Clemmy]

Apart from a great guitar player, Stevie Ray was a good man - and he is missed.

[deanhultberg]

His voice got that subtle and lovable Texas drawl, just enough, he has the perfect vocal delivery matched only by his playing. RIP SRV

[mattbackus]

SRV was such a sweet, sweet soul. The Lord only gives us these beautiful people for a moment it seems…

[Blacrosee]

his voice was unique and his guitar playing was amazing your missed Stevie always be remembered Rip to a grate lovely man xx

[gwa]

No body could play like stevie ray Vaughan. Simply the best blues rock player, TEXAS PROUD TEXAS PRIDE GOD BLESS SRV

[GetOutsideYourself]

Every time I see these old videos of SRV I'm reminded of the unfairness of life.

[ymp]

When ALbert King admires your playing, you can play.

[sterlingprice]

Stevie was so soft spoken and modest. He was great.
