    A Rebel Rousing hero is gone. The Twang's the Thang - loved that guitar sound, supposedly recorded in a grain silo for the perfect echo. RIP and Thanks.

    Super talent, so many tunes that people of my generation would hum along with, having no idea who played them or what they were called. RIP The Rebel Rouser...

    Many tried to copy, many failed. One of the Rock n Roll pioneers. RIP Duane.

    That generation of music isn't really my cup of tea but I definitely appreciated the calibre of guitarist he was

    No better time for @JiMMy 85 to tell his Duane Eddy story in memory of the man 

    Rest in peace

    Apologies. It was Charlie Gracie at the Palladium. 
    However I remember Duane at Woolwich Granada in the sixties.

    One of the original rock n’ rollers, not many of them left now. Johnnie Walker always started his show with this in the 70’s, still sounds great.

    Used to love the old time rock n roll but had never heard of Charlie Gracie until you mentioned him.  I thought you might have meant Charlie Drake!

    My dad absolutely loved Dwayne Eddie. And for those who don’t know, we once returned to the car after a defeat to find it had been broken into and the stereo nicked. 

    What bothered dad more than the lost stereo was the fact that they went to the trouble of finding the face plate under the seat and, before yanking the stereo out, they ejected his Duane Eddie tape and tossed it on the floor. 

    He was really offended by this.

    Charlie Gracie was the first 50s star I ever saw, at my first Rock n Roll all dayer when I was fifteen. He was then sixteen years younger than I am now, but of course he seemed ancient... Saw him a few times over the years - he was also a very good guitarist.
