Summary
Cheetah Chrome, the wild-hearted guitarist and punk rock legend from the Dead Boys, has died at 71. A true architect of the punk sound, he electrified stages with his raw energy and iconic solos, first with Rocket from the Tombs and then as the driving force behind the Dead Boys’ explosive debut “Young, Loud and Snotty.” Though the band split after just two albums, their legacy endured — even with reunion shows and a planned 50th anniversary tour for their first record in 2027. Beyond music, he was a devoted husband and father, survived by his wife Anna and son Rogan. His fearless spirit and sound will forever echo in punk’s DNA.
