OT: RIP Mike Mitchell, Louie Louie guitarist

I guess he's just a footnote, more or less, in rock'n'roll history, but his is the riff that launched a million garage bands and got teen feet moving at the local hop. Listening to Louie Louie now in this article, I can hear the riffs influence, such as early Kinks (You Really Got Me) and 70s punk.

Pete Townshend loved the NW garage rock too

Some would argue the keyboard was the (main) riff that launched Louie Louie, the guitar was a classic simple solo though. Regardless, a great loss.
