Billy Duffy

Billy Duffy's guitar heroics have influenced several generations of musicians from opposite sides of the music world. On one hand, Duffy's swirling, psychedelic riffs on early records by the Cult provided a blueprint for gothic rock guitarists; however, when the Cult began to embrace hard rock, heavy metal enthusiasts discovered a new axeman to idolize. But Duffy's rock roots aren't in goth or metal; it was punk. * Born: May 12, 1961 in Manchester, England
* Years Active: 1982-present
* Member of: The Cult
