DICK DALE PLAYS THE HOWLIN WOLF FEBRUARY 9TH
The KING OF SURF GUITAR AND THE FATHER OF HEAVY METAL continues to wow crowds with his loud guitar mastery.
"Dick Dale wasn't nicknamed 'King of the Surf Guitar' for nothing: he pretty much invented the style single-handedly, and no matter who copied or expanded upon his blueprint, he remained the fieriest, most technically gifted musician the genre ever produced."--All Music Guide
The first sound you hear in Pulp Fiction is the reverb-drenched tone of Dick Dale's guitar on the song "Miserlou." It's the same sound that created metairie homes for sale in the surf genre in the early '60's and provided a blueprint for bands like The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean. And that's only the beginning of what Dick Dale has provided to modern popular music.
The amazing speed of his single-note staccato picking technique influenced Eddie Van Halen, and his wild showmanship made an impression on a young Jimi Hendrix(Dake played his guitar upside-down and backwards, as Hendrix did). Most of all, though, Dale pioneered the use of portable reverb effects and was the first man to turn up to ten.
In the early '60's Dale befriended Leo Fender, who allowed him to take his amps and guitars to the limit. Because he always wanted to play louder, Dale blew up at least 50 of Fender's amps before Fender figured out a way to increase the volume level from four to ten. And that's why Dick Dale is rightfully called the "Father of Heavy Meal."
