Link Wray, and the song "Rumble" particularly, only influenced many other musicians & guitarists, surf music, hard rock and heavy metal music too.

[@MrBielok]

Guys... Full kudos for this video. Such an overlooked guitarist. And his influence is unbelievable. Thamesmen for president!

[@sean---the-other-one]

He had so much swagger in that first video, and that sound was incredible.
The second is delicious for how much it shows that pursuit of perfect tones for recording isn’t necessarily the holy grail. It works because the feel was captured.

[@michaels6496]

Weird, I was working in my shop and heard Fire & Brimstone about an hour ago (it's on my playlist) and here it is again. Great choice, great reaction. I'll check out more from that album.

[@peterbrennan7111]

Link wray, like Mountain, influenced so many bands that became the foundation of hard rock artists, yet a rarely referenced today ( also usually heavily influenced by classical composers - worth a week in the future). Bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabath disuss them often in serious music journals. Thanks for acknowledging them gents; it is an honour to be in your company.

[@TheThamesmen]

Thanks for watching Peter!! Alex

[@jamesstubbs2228]

Fantastic !! Thank you Alex. Fire and Brimstone - I could almost smell the chicken shed and see the dust rising with the foot stomping. First class.

[@TheThamesmen]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@michaellockhart554]

The quintessential Power Chord, Rumble is the grandfather of Metal and Punk

[@BrianR.]

Well I've never heard this before though I had heard of the name Link Wray. Loved it, simple yet very powerful especially when you consider how long ago this came out. Definitely ahead of his time.

[@TheThamesmen]

Thanks Brian

[@davidberesford7009]

Rumble presumably referred to the sound being created. keep on keeping on,

[@mikeschenk4730]

Very intriguing notes.
His attitude is great as well as the music. You guys love Liam Gallegher and Link Wray seems to have that same kind of "not give a ****" swagger. In 1958 that had to be a huge revelation.
That second track is 100% amazing and going on a playlist in about 30 seconds. Also will have to listen to that album in full. Honestly, I kind of feel sorry for the people who don't watch because they don't recognize it at this point.

[@TheThamesmen]

Hi Mike. I know. There's not many of us interested in Link Wray but if you gave it a shot you'd realize how amazing and what a blueprint this is. Thanks for watching Mike

[@stevenwetherbee7573]

There is a pretty good documentary on Amazon Prime video about this cat (and much more): Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World

[@TheThamesmen]

Oh great. I will watch

[@michaellockhart554]

You really need to, Jesse Ed Davis, Jimmy Hendrix, Link Wray, and Robbie Robertson were just a few Native Americans that made great music

[@andreadee1567]

Great 👍

[@TheThamesmen]

Thanks for the visit

[@Chatwin78]

[@TheThamesmen]

[@rickfairman5640]

other guitarists Duane Eddy Lee Hazelwood Herbert Maurice

[@rickfairman5640]

You played the hard rock instramental now you have to go back and play what I believe was the first drum solo Wipe Out the Safaries

[@timbarton5075]

Can recommend the Robert Gordon with Link Wray album “Fresh Fish Special” - 1978, checkout Fire (with Bruce Springsteen) along with a bunch of other great rock a billy tracks

[@TheThamesmen]

I will listen today - Thanks Alex

[@ritagryphon222]

Love love love this! 🤎 Rolling Stone ranked Wray as nr 45 on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. Jimmy Page has often talked about how LW has been an inspiration and this is a nice (short) tribute ua-cam.com/video/076XbGEE5rU/v-deo.html

[@TheThamesmen]

that was SO cool

[@neilens1589]

...and he only had ONE LUNG 😮

[@TheThamesmen]

Really?

[@neilens1589]

Yes, he served in the Korean War, where he contracted tuberculosis. He spent a year in hospital, culminating in the removal of one of his lungs.

[@TheThamesmen]

@@neilens1589 wow. Tough guy

[@juanitooctavio9023]

Nope, don’t know those tunes... One reason might be that I never liked ”Pulp Fiction”. 🤪
