Famous Fender Stratocaster History
Fender Stratocaster history begins with the man some people call the king of surf music. Dick Dale is the man who some believe invented surf music as early as the 1950's. No, it wasn't the Beach Boys. It was Dick Dale.
He had the musical assistance of Leo Fender, inventor of the Fender Stratocaster. Part of early Fender Stratocaster history includes the story of Leo Fender's gift to Dick Dale of a Fender Stratocaster to use in his live performances. He wanted Dick to try the Fender Stratocaster - and the rest is history, as the saying goes.
Did he try that guitar! The Fender Stratocaster history at that point was one of taking abuse and living through it, as Dale beat that guitar, hurling loud raucous music into the night, and destroying forty nine different amps until one actually caught on fire. Stratocaster history that night including the entertaining Dick Dale using the right handed guitar for left-handed play, playing upside down and created all new sounds.
Leo, Freddy Fender and Dale joined forces to find new, more tolerable speakers and this was the beginning of heavy metal Fender Stratocaster. They approached a company that made speakers and asked that they design a fifteen-inch Fender Stratocaster speaker. This made Fender Stratocaster speaker history.
Fender history included the fact that Dick Dale became the first person to take the quiet guitar player image and transform her or him into a loud heavy metal entertainer.
Included in this portion of Fender history was Guitar Player Magazine, who as a result now referred to Dick Dale as the father of heavy metal. Stratocaster history, then, is about the transition from quiet soothing singalong surf music to the heavy metal sound of the sixties.
BONUS : Fatboy Slim Biography
Norman Cook has experienced an exceptionally diverse musical career. HeÂs produced or played on records covering a multitude of genres, including indie pop, hip hop, house and big beat, and is also one of the most famous DJs in the world under his Fatboy Slim moniker.
Fatboy was born Quentin Cook in Bromley in 1983, and grew up in Reigate in Surrey.
He was heavily into music at an early age, producing a punk fanzine as a teenager before meeting Paul Heaton at 6th form college. He went to University in Brighton (he studied English, Sociology and Politics) and began to DJ around the town where the club scene was thriving at that time.
In 1985 he received a call from Heaton asking him to join up with The Housemartins to replace their recently departed bassist. The group were based in Hull, and Norman (as he was now known) moved north to be with them. They soon had a hit with ÂHappy HourÂ, and eventually had a number one single in 1986 with a cover of ÂCaravan Of LoveÂ.
The group broke up in 1988 and Cook returned to Brighton to re-invigorate his love for the club scene. He teamed up with Lindy Layton to produce a dub house classic in ÂDub Be Good To Me (a mashup of the bassline from The ClashÂs ÂThe Guns Of Brixton and vocals inspired by SOS bandÂs ÂLove Be Good To meÂ) which went to number one.
Beats International had 2 albums before disbanding. Norman went on to form Freakpower with vocalist and brass-player Askley Slater, and had a massive hit with when it was picked up by LeviÂs to be used in a commercial.
The following year the band had a hit with ÂRushÂ, and the single also contained a remix by Pizzaman  another Cook alias. He went on to produce some massive club hits in the next couple of years under the Pizzaman alias  ÂTrippin On SunshineÂ, ÂSex On The Streets and ÂHappiness being particularly popular.
Freakpower continued to record albums together, and in 1996 had a hit with ÂNew DirectionÂ. This track was appropriately titled as Norman had just released a record under what was to become his most famous alias yet  that of Fatboy Slim.
Norman had teamed up with Damien Harris to create a new record label in Brighton, and Fatboy SlimÂs ÂSanta Cruz was to be its first release. They called the label Skint Records, and set themselves a mission to release music with massive beats big and basslines that would be equally popular in house and indie clubs alike.
Fatboy had a further hit in 1996 with ÂEverybody Loves A 303Â, an homage to the classic Roland synth that still sounds fresh today. He went on to release his debut album ÂBetter Living Through ChemistryÂ, an album that spawned two further singles in ÂGoing Out Of My Head and ÂPunk To Funk and helped to create the Big Beat genre.
Fatboy's hugely anticipated second album, You've Come a Long Way, Baby, followed in 1998. The album displayed huge international appeal, and went platinum in the U.S. and included two massive hits, "The Rockafeller Skank" and "Praise You", which also boasted a Spike Jonze-directed video that earned three MTV Video Music Awards as well as two Grammy nominations.
The next Fatboy Slim album, 2000Âs ÂHalfway Between The Gutter And The StarsÂ, showed a bit more diversity and contained tracks with R&B, hip hop and hard house influences. The big single from the album, ÂStar 69Â contained a big sweary vocal and a huge kick drum to send the crown mental.
Fatboy went on to release another album, 2004Âs Palookaville, and a compilation album and is still one of the biggest DJs and producers in the world.
