^ And one of the greatest guitarists.

May he rest in peace.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

+1 , Listen to Johnny Winter and band playing Jumpin Jack Flash - I think they do it with more raw energy than Stones and Keif ever did.

I wore out a couple compilation tapes of his music. I was under the influence of a dangerous and illegal drug when I first heard 'Frankenstein'. A riff from that song became the longest lasting earworm I've ever had - and I didn't mind one bit.
