Johnny Winter - I Smell Trouble Lyrics

I saw Johnny a number of times over the decades. Incredible person! He always looks so frail, but then he starts to play and that thought disappears.............

simply the best r.i.p. my man jw.....

LOVE IT!!

I smell coca...

Freakin' incredible. RIP, Bluesman.

wft was that

ALWAYS LOVED Johnny when he played the sloooooow bluuuues.
Is it just me, but the look of those "headless" guitars just look REALLY ODD?

O k. Now, let's do it AGAIN, Baby! ✌

One of my favorite concerts that I ever went to was Edgar Winter. It was in New England, and i guess we were lucky to get him. He played for awhile and then, after a great set, he came out to the mic and said, People keep asking me..........where's your brother? Just then Johnny walked on stage and the crowd went wild. The rest of the concert was the two of them playing like they were back home in Texas. Amazing.

Oh man, this dude needs to hit the weights once in a while....

Years ago I saw Johnny Winter at the Hollywood Bowel. He stepped on stage for just some Blues. Of course Dickey Betts stepped in to see if he could match the guitar virtuoso Mr. Winter, but soon and thankfully soon, Mr. Betts simply had to sit down, watch, listen and learn. Great performance that night and the other times I saw Johnny Winter preform. He didn't play the guitar, his fingers simply glided over the strings.

talented amazing artist, people don't get his art now a days bc. they don't what art is!Jhonny Winter will always be a truly blues man! for decades and decades to come,the rock and roll hall of fame will never understand his talent.

Young Bonnie Rait down in front row groovin out . Could be . Heheh yah??

The MAN is mesmerizing - pure genius

I am hypnotized by heem. God Bless also God Bless his bass player he had been with him a long time.

Sweet Sweet Johnny... Thank You ecc

Somethings not right, the timing or something.

SRV was booed 2 years earlier (by a select, but vocal portion of the crowd). What a crazy world this is.

Saw him at Bogart's in Cincinnati, Ohio 1984. He was in a class of his own. RIP

daaayym

fuckin' aye... is this real?

Blues shredder with sooo much tone and soooo much feel. We should be on our knees.

JW, say no more. The pinnacle of the Blues.

Ho Lee shit. I got chills!

Born in winter and died in summer, rip Johnny!

Nice! Really Nice! I would love to see Paul Gilbert put his spin on this. THANKS

What a great one, from the year I was born! Love and miss Johnny winter!

He was a force of nature when it comes to blues.

Great srate of Texas soulful bluesman. The best and not forgotten.

Man of never ending licks. Rip Jonny, the only other guitarist that Jimi Hendrix wanted to learn from. Jonny played a mean ass slid, and Jimi asked Jonny to teach him.

It SEEMS Johnny never runs out of licks!! Simply AMAZING!!!

Took my White Hot & Blue album to many a party. It has johnnys 7 peice band including brother. Simply the BEST. RIP

Johnny Wintah!!!

Jon París, que chingon!!!!

Seriously guys, seeing the comment session, no one seems to care about Jon Paris! He's an awesome multi instrument guy. What a beautiful duo.

A thumb down is someone who don’t know shit about classic rock or blues guitarist Johnny and Edgar winter where pioneers , masters.

So amazing...

THE BLACK SOUL ALBINO BLUESMAN!😎

There will never be another. Ever. 6 foot 4 inch albino legally blind Texan.

He is awesome, love all his Songs.

Damn I miss you Johnny

This is so fucking good it is stupid...jesus

Thanks In Advance...!!! ;)

Johnny Winter...The Master !

EXELENTE ;ESPECTACULARRRR!!!!!!!!!!! desde ARGENTINA

I had the pleasure of seeing Johnny live over 20 times he Never let you down.
He loved making people happy with the blues RIP J.D.W. Miss You!!

Aztakurva.hu

Son of a bitch!!! Ladies and Gentleman, JOHNNY WINTER!!!

Wow what a holy crap moment! That was 14 and half minutes of Johnny Winters blues bliss.

He may be white as a ghost! But his soul has definitely got some color in him

Call me old call me a hippie call me what you want but man I miss the seventies!

Johnny is/was the master.

excellent picking

lol.. its more like... "lord knows im drying... up like heroin addict should'

Mary Sue weeks you ain't nothing but trouble and God's going to Cut You Down you just on his time

Whoa ,make it Dirty

For my money he was the best.

NEVER INDUCTED OR EVEN NOMINATED FOR HALL OF FAME this is a sin . Shame on us all . Everyone needs to sound off about it . RIP Jonny, you are not forgotten

You are correct sir...Johnny makes the blues players we have today look like clowns and hacks. I love Johhny Winter.

JOHNNY WAS SPECIAL

R&R HOF is nothing but a hip-hop trash dump now.

RICHARD MC INTYRE don’t worry, ABBA got in.

I totally agree Richard, first time I heard a album playing years ago I was hooked, I always told guys if you could play like this you wouldn't have to need another job,nowadays we just have very poor grade of people judging they should rotate them around ,he always had my vote he should of had it back when muddy was in the man's been around the real deal pretty sad RIP mr.Winter.

Man ! What a sence of timing...bass & harp....keeping up J.W.....truly...funking Rare....

The whole song I like what Jon Paris is doing on el.bass AND harmonica, better bluesharp, at the same time. @ 9:15 he gives a 3+ minutes solo on his bluesharp, also while playing his el.bass. He could have done better, I guess, if he only played the harp, but doing both at the same time is unbelievable.

Agree. He still plays in NY at a club every week.. forget the name.

I love this one...it called... i smell trouble....exactly now i smell trouble..the double trouble....

The blues had the baby and it name is rock n rool...by muddy waters..

He make me flying with this...

An older friend turned me onto Johnny when I was 14 and just starting to learn the guitar.. I've long since lost touch with that friend, but my guitar and Johnny have been a big part of my life for the 41 years since. No blues guitarist can touch him.

Right on me to.

Awesome harmonica that guy wails!

Johnny is the BEST!

Johnny winter is still best slideguitar player in The hole wide world....duane is not an bluesguitar player and he dont play slideguitar in The same way Johnny do or did... Please listen to Johnnys album: Johnny winter captured live.... Highway 61 revisited.!

Sten Mark you got that right.

Had to respond to your comment.I absolutely agree!Your are the first I've ever read to single out that particular version of that particular song.I loved that live version when I first heard it on KSJO in San Jose in @ 1977(thanks to dj Tom Mix),I still love it now over 41 years later,and I reckon I'll love it till my dyin' day.As one JDW aficionado to another,I salute you sir.

How can 15 ppl dislike Johnny

A MASTER

The blues starts and ends with JW as far as I'm concerned

Thanks for sharing,truly a wizard!and the bass player is n slouch!!Cheers Johnny was the real deal!!

I've always been able to identify Johnny within 10 notes. Sometimes those notes came in 10 seconds and sometimes in .5 seconds. So glad that I was born when I was so I can appreciate great guitar playing. Feel sorry for kids today who think Kanya is talented. The Winter brothers. That's talent.

Doug Bohling Both fully formed musicians as teenagers

4:54 yeaahhh...dextrose in my veins...

HAVE MERCY JOHNNY WINTER!!!

What's not to like here. JDW in his prime. John Paris. Epic!

Dig.......................

He´s just the best

Johnny, Jon and Tom...best group which Johnny had....

after A Hard Day's Work cold beer and Johnny Winter

Working and listening it is even better hehe

And from now on..
I will not run and hide..
gonna face trouble with a smile..
And hope it pass me by..

How can somebody put thumbs down on this song.............guys that are obviously in the wrong place.......should be somewhere else because here........they do not belong!

There are a lot of haters for the blues.

The problem is most of the blues follows one scale and count. This makes all the songs sound the same when you learn how it's done. Johnny Winter is very mundane in this way.

Imagine painting something, then watching a ton of other artists paint the exact same picture over and over again. It becomes a chore to spectate it.

Some people really enjoy listening to it.

I enjoy playing the blues but listening to someone else play the same shiz is boring to me. I wouldn't down vote, but some dudes might.

It was probably Eric Clapton.

Randy Joe Hobbs is the bass player on this set not Jon Paris.

montreux 1984 jon paris is the bass player
jo hobbs played from 1970 to 1976 with johnny

Yep. I introduced Johnny & Jon @ Pop's Tavern, 3rd Ave. & 13th St., NYC Johnny was playing an old man's dive bar w/ Louisiana Red. Jon Paris happened to walking up the ave. playin' his harp & I suggested stepping inside. After the jam session, Johnny & Jon continued what they did best: playing the blues.

My blues Hero

Brazil 💘 Johnny Winter.

Yeahh. Johnny is the number one..

Johnny is my hero and his always has be.I think that he play guitar and sing better than srv did.....!! Johnny are The Best slideguitar player Ever...!

Different styles, same blues!

Now Johnny and Stevie where two of my favorites ..... I would never want to one against the other as they both played the best they could each in their own way
But both inbraced the blues and kept it alive for the generations to come -both worked with the legions of the blues and always treated them with respect that they so deserved
And sadly they both passed away much too soon ,but either one will be every forgotten

I don’t know about play guitar as well as Stevie, but he sure has got some grisly growly pipes, much better than SRV IMO

Johnny taught Stevie how to play ;-) Listen to the first Columbia release "Johnny Winter"

Definitely the Best

johnny srv duane jimi eric mike rory sono i miei guitar heroes preferiti di sempre

y zorro garcia etc.

My god, put this whole show out on DVD!

Pretty sure this must be from ''Johnny Winter: Live Through the 80s.'' www.alligator.com

That white boy had tons a soul ! He was one of the best slide guitar players in the world !  I was in the army in Ok ,  so we'd  go down to Texas and see white trash,  With Johnny ,  and Edgar winter !   ZZ-top too ! The south has  the best music !  When I came home , the music I was listening to ,  came up to Chicago  6 months later !

WITH HOPI SAUCE

The South = the Allman Brothers, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Lynyrd Skynyrd (and eventually Rossington-Collins), ZZ Top, Elvin Bishop, 38 Special and others whose names unfortunately escape at the moment, but there are more than a few.

gave me goose bumps!!!

Get rid of t. Rex

one of the original guitar heroes

The 1970s top 5 = Hendrix, Winter, Page, Townshend, Beck.

Johnny was great!

johnny dava il meglio di se negli slow blues in pochi potevano possono avere il suo feeling e la sua velocità' e la pulizia del suono

sin duda,..la mejor época de Winter, maduro,,, pero con esa voz espectacular

Bad ass rocker should be on his tombstone.

+ontariobuds good blues

BLUESMAN..........

Beaumont Texas will never be the same.  GOD'S speed Johnny, you are deeply missed.

Rest In Peace! One of the greatest guitar-players ever lived! i miss you...

Johnny, me tiene triste tu inesperada partida, dejas una huella imborrable en la música y en especial en el género que mueve emociones.. El Blues!.
