...was a comment from some rock journalist during the peak of Johnny's "Johnny Winter And" period with Rick Derringer, when he was red hot and EVERYWHERE. He said something like "He's the kind of guy who yells "YEAAAAAAH!" at the drop of an "E" chord." And it was true, that's what made him so cool. He'd yell during his solos. Fun to listen to, fun to watch, greatly missed.
