A name to rival Les Paul in the world of Rock 'n Roll! I hope he's jammin' with Hendrix right now. RIP ;)

One of my favorite memories as a young concert-goer was seeing the wall of Marshalls providing a backdrop.

RIP Mr. Marshall.  Thanx for the memories! 8-)

Age 88.  There's a lot of interesting stuff on this on the web, he was a great innovator.  Yep, nothing like a wall of Marshalls to open your ears.  We will miss him.  Thanks for everything, Jim.

Les Paul, Jim Marshall, and of course, Leo Fender pretty much wrapped us up.  Or maybe hopped us up.  R.I.P.

Where would rock and roll be without Marshall stacks?
