Jim Marshall recently passed away.  As if that wasn't sad enough; the man who designed the  most iconic amplifier in music history didn't live long enough to attend the 50th anniversary of his legendary creation.  The show will go on though...

"50 years of loud ... live" will take place at the Wembley Arena in London September 22nd.  A laundry list of rockers are coming out for this including Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Zakk Wylde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Corey Taylor, Billy Duffy, Nicko McBrain ... just to name a few.

With Mr. Marshalls recent death making this an even more poignant anniversary, I'm thinking many more will want to be a part of it.  I'll keep you posted!!

I'm sure the answer to this next question is going to be "most, if not all"  ... but, here goes!  Local El Paso bands;  which of you guys are using Marshalls??  Post below if you are and tell us why you've chosen this amp!!
