Duane Eddy RIP (1938 - 2024)

[felixdeburgh]

The legendary guitarist has died just a few days after his 86th birthday. He had a string of hits back in the late 50s/early 60s and had something of a renaissance much later in his career with The Art Of Noise.

RIP Duane

I remember him for the Art of Noise - I must dig out my Art of Noise CD set and give it a spin.

RIP Duane.

I love his late 50s/early 60s peak on Jamie Records as collected on the Bear Family Records set ‘Twangin' From Phoenix To L.A’. - addictive. I saw him at the Palladium a few years ago. Bruce Welch was one of his guests. His backing band were nothing special but Duane Eddy himself still had it. He was one of those 2nd phase Rock n Roll artists like Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson and The Everly Brothers who had loads of hits in Britain. RIP

Amazing guitar player RIP

RIP, the Peter Gun track with Art Of Noise was one of the most iconic tracks of the era.

As a mid teenager I was addicted to the arcade game Spy Hunter which used the Peter Gunn theme as its background music.

RIP.

Yes, I remember you playing this loads at the arcade mate!
