Duane Eddy RIP

[seeformiles]

The man with “Twangy Guitar & Silky Strings” is no more. Good innings though and I hope they put “The Twang’s the Thang” on his gravestone

'King of Twang' guitarist Duane Eddy dies at 86

The Grammy-winning US guitarist is hailed by many as one of the founding fathers of rock and roll.

Imagine what the world might have been like if Lee Hazlewood hadn't told him to play it lower down the neck.

Guitar legend for sure, RIP Duane

Biggest hit. Also the theme tune to the Johnnie Walker show.

It’s weird to think he’s the same generation as Elvis. Elvis would still have been in his 80s if he lived this long.

RIP Duane Eddy. I still have 'Because They're Young' in my 7" singles collection.

 

[New New Nothing]

Wow, Duane Eddy was still alive?

 

[Voley]

Ah that's sad. He always reminds me of listening to John Peel. He was a massive fan. RIP.
