Back To The Future: All The Things You Missed

Guitar Homages

When Marty plays Johnny B. Goode in front of the 1955 crowd, there’s a famous moment when Marvin shows his cousin ‘that new noise’ he’d been looking for. It’s a fun reference to Chuck Berry, who would go on to write the classic song three years later. But are there any other references?

We see Marty perform a few moments that would go on to be famous moves from guitar heroes. These include kicking the amp like Pete Townshend, tapping the guitar like Eddie van Halen, and lying on his back like Angus Young from AC/DC.
