Stevie Ray Vaughan, Double Trouble
“Like Jimi Hendrix, only white.”
“Vegas thrives on the fact that the majority will put their money on the wrong choice--as is the case here in this top 10 list. This is also how Bush got into office (not only once, but twice). Again, showing how ridiculously ignorant and erroneous the general populous is as they resolve to wrong. I won't even go into how deadly wrong religion has been…on just about everything. Or, how shallow, obnoxious and unsavvy Cowboy fans are about football (America's team ya know—one game and out…go T. O.! Oops! I think Jessica broke a nail? ). Or, how most Americans would rather blow themselves or self-gratify (90 of most rap performers, chimps and pimps do—no racial slur intended at all but, a slur on self-promotion and self above all philosophies); rather than make love--because you don't have to know anything or work very hard to do it. 'God forbid' if you have the passion to learn the absolute truths of living; or the energy to make the complex simple through understanding; or the vision to see acute dimensions from all perspectives and/or the will to discover them—and to do this all without an unhealthy narrow hate-filled fear based spiteful partisan hypocritical homophobic bigoted sexist ego. Hey! Sounds like the right wing Christian republicans—who also have been disastrously wrong on just about everything. Did I mention that they have also subverted our constitution and undermine world peace—no biggie. I will also tell you that if Christ was here today he'd have his foot so far up their "arses" they'd be tasting sandal. What a black and white bipolar roller-coaster brain-washed yet self-induced world fascist based organized religion is. It's a shame that so many people suffer from such an unnatural state of being and an unhealthy case of neurosis—damn lingering primitive antiquated superstitions.
E=MC2, evolution, quantum physics, color, gravity, 1 plus 1 is 2, love hurts, speed of light and Stevie Ray Vaughn -- energy never ceases to exist…it just changes form.

“srv is the greatest guitar player that ever lived. jimi just experimented alot and jimi page didnt even play that fast hes old and decreped”
“evry song was a solo”
“best song he did was, couldn't stand the weather.”
“the best song he did was mary had a little lamb.”
“It's a shame that SRV doesn't get more accolades for his awesome guitar playing. Eric Clapton wishes he could play blues this good. The only guy who could wear a boa and still be manlier than Rambo!”
“It is not a matter of one's musical taste or appreciation for the blues, or any other music genre. Stevie Ray Vaughan was, and will always be, the greatest electric guitarist that ever lived. SRV might even be the greatest musician to have ever lived - he was truly masterful and in a place all by himself.”
“Stevie Ray Vaughan played the guitar better, faster, and longer than any guitarist could dream of. The only reason why people didn't tribute him was because they couldn't. Not only was he the best guitarist of all time he showed what it meant to live and play the electric guitar. I love you SRV.”
“SRV would be at the top of the list if he hadn't died so young.”
“SRV played Voodoo Child just as good if not better then Hendrix. The thing is Vaughan played with the guitar behind his back.”
“Any doubts , go to youtube and put his name in with "scuttle buttin" and watch.”
“STAMINA, that's all I've got to say. This man could play the forever!”
“The greatest guitar there is. He played hendrixes little wing and made it sound better than before.”
“Dont even compare stevie ray to any of the guys. Stevie lived as a legened and died as a legened and still is one. Non arguabaly the best guitar player ever.”
“SRV is the best, no doubt.”
“There is only one guitarist that I have heard whose soul is audible when he plays. If he does not give you a tingle up your spine when you hear him play you truly do not appreciate music.”
“If this is on purely "Guitarist" merit, then consider; the way Hendrix changed Rock & Roll, Stevie changed the blues; which along with it's sister genre Jazz, was where many guitar purists felt the best and most emotionally raw players were and are. That along with Stevie's mastery of all three make him the undisputed Greatest of all time. The only man who played Jimi better than Jimi, was Stevie.”
“To listen to the rhythm and sophistication of such a musician is a privilege that never gets old. However, to watch Vaughan play a live show is something so smooth, crisp and amazingly enthralling. No one played the blues quite like Stevie Ray Vaughan. Although Mr. Robert Johnson might have pioneered the art, Mr. Vaughan perfected it. He will always be missed, but even moreso appreciated.”
“I see Jimi Hendrix is number one BUT Stevie Ray Vaughan ran circles around Jimi Hendrix and EVEN played some of Jimi's songs BETTER than Jimi played them...Stevie Ray Vaughan created Texas Blues and he NEVER messed up and was always spotless clean and was the best ever...”
“OMG 2% He Should be top 3! Scuttle Buttin' Is AMAZING same for like Little Wing and MANY other songs!”
“stevie ray vaughn is god in my eyes he was down to earth amazing guitarist that gave a punch in the stomach just listing to him. me and a few friends are missing him very much.ps should be recommended top five list.”
“SRV makes blues even cooler!”
“I LUV SRV, HE RULES, to bad he died”
“I saw him in 1984. He opened for Huey Lewis and the News and had just finished work on David Bowie's "Let's Dance " album. Still an unknown at the time. I was dumbfounded by this guy modulating his feedback with a piece of plexiglass. He gave J. Hendrix a run for his money.”
“Stevie could shred anyone he came across. But that's not what he was all about. He was about making love to his music. He was about showing the world that he was the best, that he could re-apply the blues to the mainstream”
“This whole list is bogus if SRV doesnt even crack the top three. He should be number one in my books. No one brought the emotion and the sure talent that he had to the stage. Everything he played was simply amazing. We should only be that lucky to still have him with us today.”
“The only person, imo (the only one that matters) that even comes close to Jimmy Page, is Stevie Ray”
“Why SRV isn't top five, even top three, bewilders me. The only guitarist that can bring a tear to my eye. That man understood the blues and left it all on stage.Greatly under-rated.”
“Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest guitarist of all time. If you add up the factors that the few songs he wrote were great, he covered great songs and made most of them better, and he had more passion and soul than any other guitarist to ever live.”
“how the hell does bucket head rate higher then stevie ray”
“stevie ray is a true master of the electric guitar”
“SRV is the best guitarist ever, Jimi just did crazy things on stage because he was high, Stevie Ray Vaghan made all his music up except for his tributes to Jimi, Stevie also couldn't read music. Try listening to Voodoo Child by Jimi, then listen to it by Stevie, you will find that Stevie is much better”
“Stevie's Little Wing destroyed Jimi's version”
“Simply the BEST...he made Jimi chuckle in pure amazement (those who know what I'm talking about)”
“Hands down the greatest guitarist ever. No one can match his pure talent and emotions he put into playing. The Blues doesn't get appreciated as much as rock and roll but SRV was and still is the best guitarist ever to lay hands on a guitar.”
“Another great guitarist that should be rated higher. I've heard most everyone on this list and it seems the criteria being ranks speed and technique higher than character and style. In my opinion, character and style are what distinguish the personality of the player. Stevie have a lot of both and should be rated higher.”
“There is nobody that could do what SRV does, this list is pathetic, number 1 is SRV, not impressed with him”
“I Seen Stevie Twice in Small Venues where you could get CLOSE.Yeah Eddie V H,Dimebag,Slash, Sloppy Jimmy Page &on & on. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY!!! was as Great as SRV.Clapton told Jagger " this boy is going to put me out of business"Nuff Said”
“how can this guy not be in your top 3.. thats amazing how a lot of people don't know what real musical talent is and its sad”
“I assume that this is a popularity vote and not a vote by people that actually have a clue about playing guitar. Not to include Stevie Ray in the top 3 is like saying Tiger Woods is an average golfer. What a useless "Greatest ever" list.”
“No matter what any of you say about any other guitarist, SRV is the greatest one of them all. Screw this bull about fast guitar, SRV was the most creative person to have ever picked up a guitar. He took what Hendrix made and perfected it.”
“Well, just goes to show that we are a "here and now" society. SRV was in a class all his own. I'm generally not keen on trying to say who was the "best. " But SRV anywhere but the top 10 is a travesty.”
“screw everyone
stevie is the best
listen to little wing by jimi
now listen to little wing by stevie
damn
you guys are retarded
compare any song ever with scuttle buttin and tell me he's not the best
retards”
“herman li, hehe. you guys are really funny if you think herman li is better than stevie ray vaughan. anyone can shred with a guitar, but here's the thing, he doesn't shred, he plays his songs slow at a recording studio and speeds them up. so, stevie ray vaughan is one of the most talented musicians who ever lived, it wasn't just his guitar playing, it was also his songwriting and his guitar too. if him and B. B king never played guitar, the blues wouldn't be the same”
“As I viewed the list it wasn't so much the Stevie was left out (or hasn't made the top ten yet) but it was PAINFULLY obvious that the people that have voted DID NOT see him play... Live in concert... after seeing over 150 concerts since the late 60's... I can, without a doubt... once and for all say the SRV was the greatest in his field! I miss him and we all will never know just how great he would have continued to be?”
