Link was hooked on the art of the music. He played for gas and strings. You could not say that he did not want the money but the business end of the music world was not where he fit in. On composition and deveopement of classic sound boss chords, scat - he was a pioneer - and it was fun to dance to
I got to see the second to the last concert he ever did, at the Rhythm Room here in Phoenix. In some ways it was sad, as he was completely out of it most of the time. But he did this song, and Jack the Ripper, my all time favorite and nailed both of them. Fun and somber at the same time, as we knew we were saying goodbye to one of the greats...
I’ve never heard his version before. I was 16 when rumble came out. But recently I got on this Apache kick when Jeff Beck died and I heard his version for the first time. I met Jeff I was really lucky he was so quiet and humble. But otherwise I may never have heard this version. Wow!!
Wow, the true "Godfather of Grunge", just ask Neil young. His "Gateway to Love", 2001, is a paen to Link, especially to "Rumble", as far as the chording.
The Shadows and Hank Marvin of course, everybody was influenced by Hank. They got the tune via Bert Weedon, who's guitar tutor books were also influential.
Yes for sure Hank Marvin is there. Referring more in this case to the way Link Wray would approach and exit the note played, that extra spice Jeff butters on to things. Wonderful to listen to all of them.
Link Wray never made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during his lifetime. That is similar to the scandalous crap Jim Thorpe had to endure in the world of athletics, especially his status as an Olympic athlete.
ah, those of still kickin' remember this early rock guitar ...ah well, we still worship at the electric guitar shrine that Hendrix and Clapton inherited
Originally written in the late 1950s by Jerry Lordan, a singer/songwriter in the U.K., the instrumental “Apache” was inspired by the 1954 Burt Lancaster action movie of the same name.
Not quite. I've been trying to learn this song all the way through and this version is the simplest (and the best) version out there but this one is definitely played different than the original version.
@@spottedsaint957 I think it's much more difficult* than Hank's. It's his use of tremolo note picking vs where Hank, all he did was let go of a chord then hit the trem

Love this version, it’s just badass
Bad ass! Link is a master.

Had tickets for that cancelled tour .... Sigh.
One of the best. no more to say.
The simplicity of this version of Apache has coolness that only Link Wray could bring to. All of the other versions are cover songs.
Shadows did the original.
❤️ this song.
This guy is the king of cool!
Badass among badasses....this is the shit.
What a Beauty.

You'd like the album, there's good guitar rock on it.
Only dead a few years, but the BEST - Rumble, Apache, Rawhide --- The Link!
Link Wray ~ Apache ~
Rumble!
Sounds very similar to the music of Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns 😎👍
Great interpretation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤
Totally fabulous
Too Cool Man!!!!!
Thank you

I knew Link Wray's 2nd ex-wife. Nice lady. My daughter used to date one of his grandsons.
excellente de verdad
🔥🔥🎶🔥🔥
Yikes, we can hear what Jeff Beck listened to. 🎸

@@Riverdeepnwide absolutely!
Jimmy Page loves the Link!

The rock and roll hall of fame isn't worthy of Link Wray.
R&R Hall of Fame is run by ho
mos.
But number one in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Cool
That's OK RocknRoll
Hall of Fame, don't bother...... he's dead now.
R. I. P.
LINK🎸WRAY
Parts of this song version reminds me of a cat in heat, lol.
ah, those of still kickin' remember this early rock guitar ...ah well, we still worship at the electric guitar shrine that Hendrix and Clapton inherited
Best Version Till I heard this, were The Shadows
Jørgen Ingmann's version is the most famous, possibly best version.
Meeeeooowwwww 😎😎😎
Collect your P45 on the way out, Hank. We'll pay you to the end of the week.
Link butchered this to OWN IT ! He put feel to it ! ...really makes that tremolo cry...
They way he skips the i note on the 2nd beat is contagious !😎
Didn't Link Wray write Apache .. 🤔

Thanks for clearing that up ...
The Shadows being copied.

I like Link Wray but maybe
Apache is best left to Hank
Marvin.
Both are good. This one is way more psychedelic.
Except for that epic divebomb he does. That shit is dope! Feel me, daddy-o?
