Jim Marshall, the founder of Marshall Amplification and the true "Father of Loud," has died at age 88.

"The news of Jim Marshall passing is deeply saddening," wrote Slash, a longtime Marshall user, via Twitter. "[Rock and roll] will never be the same without him. But, his amps will live on FOREVER!"

Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx wrote, "R.I.P. Jim Marshall. You were responsible for some of the greatest audio moments in music's history and 50% of all our hearing loss."

Sad news for the music world, even if not entirely unexpected. His amps really have defined the tone of rock, and I'd wanted to get one when I spent more time playing guitar. He will be missed.
Her3tik, you have groupies.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

Rest in peace, man.  Turn the Afterlife up to ELEVEN!

Always liked British amps.  Well... they used to be made in Britain anyway... ;)
