>mfw I thought Dick Dale died
I didn't know this about the amps and Fender.
How'd he blow it, anon?
>>73964243
>>73964204
oh fuck...as in blow the amp...
I interpreted as he tried playing the amp at a concert or something and put on a terrible performance...my bad
>>73964270
yeah m8 he blew the amps, or at least the speakers
>>73964279
Where should I start with Dick Dale, anon? I really like surf but never got seriously into it.
He's coming through my city next month and somehow it's during the 5 days that I have to be out of town. Might be my last chance to see him before he's dead. FMFL

Honestly this is one case where I would suggest the "best of" album. Sadly it used to be on youtube but has been removed as far as I can tell. Look for pic related, it's sooooo so so good. If you have even a remote interest you'll love it, 'sfucking gold.
>>73964327
Awh man, that's such horseshit.
>>73964337
Was Dick Dale the guy who actually surfed or was that someone else?
I remember one guy would surf literally all day and then get on stage still wet and shit to put on a show
>>73964406
No that sounds like Dick Dale actually
>>73964406
I remember reading that Dennis Wilson was the only actual surfer in The Beach Boys if that's what you meant
>>73964479
DD wasn't in the Beach Boys anon, but maybe that story is about DW? Dunno.
>>73964428
>>73964479
Maybe I'm putting the two parts together.
I guess Dick was the dude who spent all day riding waves and dry off only to play shows
>>73964515
I know that, I was wondering if the anon was confusing the two since both made surf music
>>73964598
Yeah I getcha
