I believe it all started with Wray! Powerful in his simplicity. Passionate to the core. In my mind, as important as Hendrix was in his time. Long live the sound of Wray!
There's no source because it was never banned. It's just hearsay, It reached #16 on Billboard's hot 100. That's a monster hit. Dick Clark played it daily on American Bandstand for weeks, Link even made an appearance on Dick Clark's Saturday evening show and played it to a national audience. So the ban is just urban legend. IT NEVER HAPPENED PERIOD
Was lucky enough to see Link play at some dive bar in DC back in the early 60's, with his drummer and bass. Put on quite a show for me, my friend, and about 15 other people in the bar.
NICE! I swear this is very familiar to me, though I heard this was banned & I was born in ‘64. Do you know if it was ever allowed to be used in a movie?? (Just found out Bobby Howard (protege of Link Wray) was my biological father in 2/2020. I know nothing much about his family & wish I had inherited his talent, only have his hair & vibrato, not his singing voice or range, though. It was quite a shock to find this out!).
@@juliereminiec4937Too easy: Dsus•E ×2; Dsus•A; Dsus•E; Dsus•B7 (strike root then arpeggio); E pentatonic scale down starting at G on first string(12 notes with a long bend at G on sixth string) - repeat. Occasional frill at 12 fret on first and second with third string on 13 fret (every three or four rounds).
That's because Vernon Wray was still recording with an upright bass at this time. He later switched to the electric bass due to the size of the studio they were recording in (which was a converted chicken coop.) There was just no space for a doghouse bass.
Ginger Bread Folks were listening to Doo-Wop and Candy Pop, Elvis had just released his first album two years prior. Rock and Roll was a novelty, still.
This film clip is from the movie The Delicate Delinquent starring Jerry Lewis. The three hoods you see (in order) are Robert Ivers, Joe Corey (white t shirt) and Richard Bakalyan.
The Cramps should have been the first band inducted, as henry rollins says "its a crime that the very first band into the rock n roll hall of fame wasn't the cramps, there is nothing more rock n roll than the cramps" completely agree!!!!
@@SgtRock57 G'day Sgt, i just wanted to let you know i was able to find the movie on the computer and what a movie it was :) All stemming from that tune * Rumble. i thank you again for getting the title of the movie for me also. Its quite the older movie in which i did enjoy. Jerry acting the goof ball in alot of the movie.

Thank you again Sgt, please take care and be good and again, thanks
Link Wray's all-time great instrumental "Rumble"(1958) An influence on many guitarists, including me!This scene is amazingly...from a Jerry Lewis movie! "The Delicate Delinquent" (1957)Included in the cast, Darren McGavin (old man Parker in "Christmas Story" 1983)and undefeated heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano.The bass knuckles hoodlum in the black leather jacket, and with the curl hanging over is face,is Richard Bakalyan. He made a Hollywood career playing bad guys in movie, after movie.The law finally caught up with him in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" (1965)He gets nailed to the cross, as the "good thief", next to Jesus.
I was fortunate to see Wray in concert and even as an old person he still acted like a "crazy Shawnee!" (Links own words shouted at concerts: "I TOLD YOU I'M A CRAZY SHAWNEE!"). Rest in power, Link 🎸🎶
I saw the man play live in Berlin. He comes out on stage, mirrored sunglasses, leather coat almost down to the floor, mumbles "hello Hamburg" and starts the Rumble. Cool as fuck.
Hard to believe Link Wray isnt in the R&R Hall of Fame......if not for him we would all be listening to the Archies........Tells you how bad and full of BS the Hall of Fame is......Grand Funk isnt there either. The best garage band ever.
Yup. Incredible. Guess it says more about R&RHoF than Link Wray & those who shouldn't be there but is. He invented, or at least popularized the power chord. Shouldn't that be enough? Odd that he died in Copenhagen, Denmark and is buried there, in a crypt. He relocated to Denmark in the early 80s. Wonder what ties he had to Denmark? (which borders Sweden where I live, northern Europe). Maybe no especial ties at all, maybe only love the country...and sure, it's a nice place. Been there many times myself. Most people are easy going.
fuckin who cares about some hall of fame bullshit... it doesn't mean shit if other people recognize what you do. Just enjoy the song regardless of its critical acclaim.
This is the first time people were ever presented with what we call "heaviness" . There's a snarl to this that people had never heard before, even in the extremely early days of rock n roll.
@@diomedestydeus3298 thanks! I knew I’d recognized this music, though it was banned & I was born in ‘64! I just asked another commenter if it was used in a movie...not really catching the connection with Jerry Lewis! Thanks for your comment!
@@footcandy Because rumble is a slang term for a gang street fight, and authorities were concerned about juvenile delinquency. A definite overreaction, however, I was a juvenile delinquent, and I turned out all right.
I remember being a small boy in the sixties and seeing hoods like this at local pool hall, I would walk by there real quick! I'm sure they were inspired by this music.
So did I. a few practices on the chords - the picked out B7 and downward pentatonic scale and to make it sound more like the original, playing the strings as low down to the bottom as you can
do you ever go to the music store and just smash it out like link with all the distotion? kids these days would stand there with their mouths open wondering wtf is this
@@fredserver3706 D/D/E then again again to B7....ya got the rumble..simple is best when it's a catchy Melody line...slide to the 12th fret n get the lead....
This tune has something special...is capable of touching the soul deep inside with a mixture of feelings...violence,melancholy,angst...Link Wray...few musicians have the power to stop time and change your perception....no surprise Rumble was banned in airplay,this tune brought people a strong vibe of subversion and a somewhat altered state of consciousness only through music.That is an achievement.
Just learn of him in the 2024 Hall of Fame. Freaking awesome !!! sorry young people but this is good. Dancing music. This is the kind of beat you're looking for on the dance floor when you're 50 plus or other places. So sorry it took me this long to find such great rhythm
Power-chord type things weren't unknown at the time; recalling the mighty Dick Dale, King of the Surf Guitar, who also had a couple of hits around this time
This was the intro song to the SON OF SVENGOULIE show back in the 80s when I was a teen, when I used to live in Chicago (WFLD-TV) I think its now (FOX 32) and the theme song when it went off was YOU MAY BE RIGHT by BILLY JOEL.........
All Hail Link Wray. Only a Shawnee Warrior would come up with such a battle cry! He'd make his guitar sound like the sound of Native Warriors "Whooping" calling in others to join the fight! N that's what this song did and still does . "Neahw" Link "Neahw"
The tune way head of its time the 1950s had Pioneer's of music 🎵🎶 even pioneers in the 1940s . Buddy Holly 👓 Eddie Cochran,Chuck Berry these legend's wrote there own songs. From a Teddy Boy 🎼🎶📻🎼
Okay, dig - Jimmy Page Is God. Link Wray is HIS God. Mash-up with one of the greatest Classic movie intros? PRICELESS. Coolest fucking thing on this mess of a site, babies!

Not sure if this is true but I heard this was their warm up song to get ready on stage and people loved it so much it became one of their most requested songs and was known to cause fights* in the crowd 👍

I believe it all started with Wray! Powerful in his simplicity. Passionate to the core. In my mind, as important as Hendrix was in his time. Long live the sound of Wray!
Don't forget Ritchie Valens
No argument here!
Agreed important as Hendrix and Hendrix was important.
I play in bands, now with my kids playing too; every time we play in front of people, we open with Rumble. We close with Rumble. Every single time.
Legend
😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Neat!
Trouble maker. No wonder we're in the shape we're in. Do you have riots at your venues? Hmmm?
Awesome. I only played hockey with my sons, they couldn't keep up with me on the ice and sadly I couldn't keep up with them musically.
Link Wray is finally in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Loonnngggg overdue!
🎶🎵🎸🎸👍. Now they need to add Johnny Rivers......💯%💤
Link Wray doesn't need the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, as much as they need Link Wray
It was banned because old people heard it, and it had the same effect on them as it did the kids. It works today, and will work 500 years from now.
Rumble was banned for another reason
Link Wray was 1/2 Shawnee

DC was his stomping ground around that time, but for what reasons I don't know
This version has the best bass line of all the versions
That's because Vernon Wray was still recording with an upright bass at this time. He later switched to the electric bass due to the size of the studio they were recording in (which was a converted chicken coop.) There was just no space for a doghouse bass.
This is so heavy for its time
Heavy for ANY time
@@MENFUSSMIKE can heavy metal be traced back to Ritchie Valens& Link Wray?
its the only instrumental to ever get banned from radio airplay for attempting to incite violence, and he didnt even sing a word./
no just right cool man
Ginger Bread Folks were listening to Doo-Wop and Candy Pop, Elvis had just released his first album two years prior. Rock and Roll was a novelty, still.
Possibly the single most iconic, influential, unique, atmospheric, and stunningly brilliant 2m 36 ever recorded.

Thanks
The Delicate delinquent
Thanks!
Although you gotta say rumble is better than the original soundtrack for this part of the film lol
Is BAkalyan the one with the Brass Knuckles ?
Here's all you need to know about the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame: Bon Jovi is in it, and Link Wray isn't. What a crime.
U gotta be kidding me!!
I wouldn't have known..Thanks for sharing...This is one of the most iconic pieces of Rock and roll.
or motley crue
The Cramps should have been the first band inducted, as henry rollins says "its a crime that the very first band into the rock n roll hall of fame wasn't the cramps, there is nothing more rock n roll than the cramps" completely agree!!!!
Link Wray is too metal for that
"it sounded like the soundtrack to a knife fight" - iggy pop
Yeah, the video fit right in all right.
Yup. I have begun to listen to it every morning. Kind of life i live.
This is awesome! Light years ahead of it's time.
TheLeen61 absolutely!!! Truly amazing gifting from God
No, this is pure 50s and nothing is better, in this case "ahead of its time" is an insult.
Um ... a light-year is a unit of distance, not time...
Such a simple riff yet so iconic. Love the film footage!

Thank you again Sgt, please take care and be good and again, thanks
Pretty powerful
Great instrumental guitar tune. It strikes a elemental chord, in your brain as well.
The final 2 seconds "JERRY LEWIS IN..." really takes the edge off a masterpiece of music.

Cheers. Jack the Ripper and Ace of Spades for the win. Now, i'm back to my Buffalo Springfield lol
Jeff, how would this sound if it was played on three guitars?
JEFF GREEN Will watch the movie coming out?
I was fortunate to see Wray in concert and even as an old person he still acted like a "crazy Shawnee!" (Links own words shouted at concerts: "I TOLD YOU I'M A CRAZY SHAWNEE!"). Rest in power, Link 🎸🎶
Without both Ritchie Valens ( Yaqui) ^& Link Wray ( Shawnee) There wouldn't be any Heavy Metal Music
Link Wray invented the power chords, thus paving the way for modern rock ,metal and punk..
I don't think there could have been anything in the world cooler than this at this exact moment 1958!!
This is the perfect visuals for this track
I saw the man play live in Berlin. He comes out on stage, mirrored sunglasses, leather coat almost down to the floor, mumbles "hello Hamburg" and starts the Rumble. Cool as fuck.
How old r u
@@ELTABULLOI am so sorry.
possibly the coolest track ever and it's from when my dad was only 14

The video just contextualizes it so perfectly.
This guitar-gem should've been in a James Dean movie. It has "him" written all over it. #Legend
It's from "The Delicate Delinquent" > Jerry Lewis, 1957. His first movie w/o Dean Martin. A comedy, of course.

Only instrumental song to ever be banned on U.S. airwaves I believe
That's because the us sucks.....
They thought it would get in people’s minds and incite violence
i think "god bless the conspiracy' by McKendree Spring was also a banned instrumental

My mom was born in late 1958, and grew up on a farm. Hard to believe this was earlier in the year... way too cool

the early sound of heavy metal guitar
Good stuff
More like Garagerock/punkrock guitar
The music video fits the song so perfectly. Love this instrumental song.
I played this to my dog...now we both are in a gang!!
Link Wray, inventor de los acordes de quinta, o power chords, a los que tanto deben el rock, el punk y el heavy metal.
Sehr guter Kommentar! Danke.
R.I.P., Link........you and the Wraymen made ear splitting volume and distortion cool for all of us.........turn it up to "11" !
This was a great tune! Still is.
„I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.“
The 2nd tune I learned on my guitar..... "Honky-Tonk" being the first.
R.I.P. Link Wray🎸
What a riff lethal 👌🏼
Greatest guitarist ever.
Gem,beyond diamond 💎.

I’d love to hear Jr. Brown play this
June 2017 -- I knew that I remembered this as the music bed for the new Ford TV commercial!
A fabulous racket.
The sound is the HEART beat and walking PROUD... Movies turned into something else...
This song was released on "Cadence Records" a month after "Lollipop" by The Chordettes. Feel the difference
Power-chord type things weren't unknown at the time; recalling the mighty Dick Dale, King of the Surf Guitar, who also had a couple of hits around this time
Dick dale was 1963.. LInk Wray 1958
Brings to my mind Mink DeVille, Duane Eddy, etc.
For 1958 this song was f'ing punk rock...
"He's got a knife... That's not a knife, this is a knife!"
Link Wray....!!!
Creator of the "Power Chord" for R&R....!!!!
Cheers...!!!
This is the greatest thang I've ever seen and heard.

Rumble,one cool song!!!
Badass guitar.
Most Bad-assed song I've ever heard.
This is one of those songs you can't play loud enough
saw with Robert Gordon when Gordon first hit the scene...AMAZING!
This will always be the coolest instrumental of all time.
Perfect 🎶🎸❤
I want to play something like this with shuffle dance speed.
Assuming Rumble was not the original soundtrack to this scene, great job matching them up!
The tune way head of its time the 1950s had Pioneer's of music 🎵🎶 even pioneers in the 1940s . Buddy Holly 👓 Eddie Cochran,Chuck Berry these legend's wrote there own songs. From a Teddy Boy 🎼🎶📻🎼

This songs playing in the background when I look at my ex😆
When man were men and fought with hands,brass knuckles,chains.

If anyone noticed this video clip from a movie was made in 56, the song came out in 58
I wondered what this music was ever since Pulp Fiction.
It's also in Independence Day, when Randy Quaid walks into the diner after cropdusting the wrong field and two of the patrons mock him.
5 dollar milkshake. Hearing it again on that scene after many years made me want to learn to play it. So I did.
What a great clip for the song

Yeah when a rock legend plays air guitar to your song, you have gone and done something really special.
that always scared the crap outta me...couple of punks come around the corner acting like they just stumbled onto the scene. Now i gotta fight 3

What's the reference? I'm not familiar. Did he get into a fight or something?

The opening scene to The Delicate Delinquent with Jerry Lewis. A good and entertaining movie. A young Darren McGavin plays mentor to Jerry.
