The Toronto-born, Hendrix-inspired Pat Travers played aggressive, blues-based hard rock guitar in the late 1970s. His twin-lead partnership with Pat Thrall produced some of the era's most exciting live guitar interplay, and players such as Kirk Hammett and Paul Gilbert have named him as an influence.
