digests):
BILLBOARD 6/7/2004
Guitarist Robert Quine, one of punk rock's most daring
soloists, was found dead Saturday (June 5) in his New
York apartment. He was 61. According to close friend
and guitar maker Rick Kelly, who discovered Quine's
body, the musician died of a heroin overdose Memorial
Day weekend. He had been despondent over the recent
death of his wife.
Born in Akron, Ohio, Quine was heavily influenced by
the Velvet Underground, whose music he recorded
obsessively while living in San Francisco. He moved to
New York in 1971 and became the lead guitarist for
bassist Richard Hell's important group the Voidoids,
with whom he recorded two albums. His skittering,
unpredictable work with Hell defined the possibilities
of punk guitar
