Rainer Ptacek, good friend and incredible influence of Robert Plant, earned his notable following through his unique ways of playing guitar: all of "which incorporated slide, finger-picking, tape loops, and electronic manipulation."
In 1996 he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and 2 years later, on this very day, November 12th, he died.
A tribute album, "The Innner Flame" was created and dedicated to him by several indefatigable artists including Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, and PJ Harvey.
Watch this to see how truly unreal he is:
