Guitarist Dick Dale, whose fast, thunderous sound pioneered the California"surf rock" genre of the early 1960s and gained a new generation of fans decades later through its appearance in"Pulp Fiction," has died. He was 81.
His death was confirmed by two former bandmates, bassist Sam Bolle and drummer Dusty Watson, who told CNN Dale died Saturday night. Watson said Dale had been hospitalized recently for"issues related to his heart." Dale had a"wet," reverb-heavy guitar sound that evoked crashing waves and sought to echo the sounds he played in his mind while surfing, according to the Huntington Beach Surfing Walk of Fame.
