God is playing my guitar, I am with God when I play.At the age of 76 the most influential electric guitar player ever, invented the powercord and introduced distortions to rock, has gone to the place where you never have to retune your guitar.
-Link Wray
If you don't know him, for sure, you have heard his songs. Just check out Rumble, Jack The Ripper and even the Batman Theme, and you will go "Oh, THAT guy."
He had the odd distinction that his music was banned in many radio stations, although it was purely instrumental. Why? Because it rocked too hard.
Rock In Peace, Wray, Rock In Peace.
