QUEEN, STYX: Brian, Tommy Salute Marshall |
 |
| Queen guitarist Brian May has paid tribute to late Marshall amps founder Jim Marshall, who died Thursday at age 88. He writes at BrianMay.com, "Jim made a huge impact on the development of rock music, the extent almost impossible to assess. It's hard to even imagine how different live rock music would have looked and sounded without that iconic monolith -- the Marshall Stack. Jim Marshall was a major force in transforming the electric guitar from a backing instrument into a towering front-line voice."
Styx singer-guitarist Tommy Shaw says, "Without Jim Marshall, electric guitars would never have had that powerful, magical sound we all grew up with. What a gift to the world!" |
