I first saw Johnny play in 1970 during Easter break at a large music festival outside of Orlando Florida. This was the last of the big festivals with Woodstock and Atlanta happening in 1969. Playing in a rock and roll band for years I was, as well as my band members, all simply amazed at Johnny's technical skills and virtuosity as a guitar player.

I have pictures of Johnny Winter playing with Janis Joplin, Jimmi Hendrix playing bass for Johnny winter, and countless other pictures with numerous other Blues greats, over forty albums released and still no nomination. Wasn't he commercial enough for hall, only conclusion I can come to. Posted by Rick s on Tuesday, 05/19/2015 @ 13:38pm |
Johnny impressed me in my teens saw him about 4 times and he always delivered. Listen to Boney Maroni,Cheap Tequila, Hustled down in Texas. The covers like Dylans Hwy 61 revisited and Rain are just made for Johnny listen to them. Posted by Steve Schw[nn on Wednesday, 01/27/2016 @ 00:13am |
Who decides who is nominated into Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame??? Sure, everyone has their favorites, but come on folks, some nominees, like JOHNNY WINTER, are ONLY LOGICAL. If they don't nominate the ones who were at the beginning, who were phenomenal artists, who are obviously GREAT, LIKE WINTER, then how does an institution have any credibility? They don't.

Another year comes up and Mr. Johnny Winter won't be recognised again? Posted by Benita on Tuesday, 10/18/2016 @ 16:26pm |
He was still selling out venues around the world when he died at age 70. Played more than 100 shows a year up until the end. Poll how many guitarists list Johnny as an inspiration. Posted by Darlene Kubeck on Tuesday, 10/18/2016 @ 18:36pm |

Why would the arguably greatest blues guitarists of the Golden Age Of R&R be put in the r&r hof? Posted by David Rothkopf on Monday, 09/7/2020 @ 16:15pm |
Johnny Winter was a blues guitar virtuoso and one of the most impactful and emotionally hard-charging blues/rock performers of the 1970's! Hands down...he should be in the Hall of Fame! This is an injustice to the rock music industry and a shameful oversight. Posted by Dana Rowan on Sunday, 01/17/2021 @ 17:26pm |

It's pathetic that Johnny Winter cannot even get consideration for induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. He has jammed with Hendrix- He is one of the greatest blues guitarists - He is MASTER CLASS- You guys are putting RAPPERS in ahead of one the greatest ever to pick up a guitar. Shameful. WAKE UP!!

How can any organization be taken seriously that inducts performers who lip synch most of their material and DO NOT induct one of the greatest guitarist/performers/artists ever: John Dawson Winter III. Please, stop being absurd and put him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Posted by Veneta on Monday, 05/10/2021 @ 15:47pm |

You are talking about 2 albino brothers from Texas that played at Woodstock, Johnny , Before Stevie, Revived Muddy Waters , and most other Historic Blues Legends , Posted by Robert Clifton on Tuesday, 11/23/2021 @ 19:37pm |
I am shocked that Johnny Winter is not already in the R&R Hall of Fame. I mean I'm having a hard time someone more Rock & Roll than Johnny. Get your act together people. Posted by Duce on Sunday, 09/24/2023 @ 16:21pm |
Played Woodstock, "bedded" Janis, jammed with Jimi, revived Muddy (and others) career, played the Stones better than the Stones, countless albums and shows over 60+ years, revered by every guitar player that ever heard him, and to let him pass on without giving him the trophy that wouldn't exist without his input, shameful.
