Killing Floor performed by Howlin' Wolf

[@jeffreymccomas3281]

This is the first time I've seen this video but I've been a Wolf fan for ever it was hard during the hair band era to be a blues man but these old blues still linger and I'm so glad to hear my grandkids listening to Killing floor it may be a Slash, Brian Johnson and Steven Tyler cover but the grandkids are still hearing what the Wolf put down oh and the great great Hubert Sumlin too

[@bluzizalright]

The Wolf and Hubert on guitar - Impossibly great combination.

[@freddyeltigre2327]

Bought my first Howlin Wolf albam in 63 , still have it and play it at 80. Wolf's soul is inbedded in anyone who loves the Blues.

[@mattbod]

This guy was absolutely brilliant: great songwriter, guitarist, singer and entertainer. I wish I was around in his time to hear him, Sonny Boy and Muddy Waters.

[@richardseegman803]

Top on my bucket list. Going to Howlin' Wolf's grave near Chicago. Leave a big bouquet of flowers on the grave, then spend the afternoon under a shade tree, drinking great single barrel bourbon, smoking a fine cigar, and playing his music all day on what used be called a boom box. Heaven, and a tribute to the greatest Blues singer of all time!

[@mjh5437]

Cringe.How cliche.

[@brianwells4507]

And leaving a bottle of Champagne and a joint on Muddy Waters porch on Lakeview Blvd ❤

Scratched that one off my Bucket list. Got to see where Mr. Burnett was laid to rest. Left him a tiny bottle of bourbon. RIP Chester

Following taken from the liner notes; This DVD shows Howlin' Wolf prowling on stage at the first Washington D.C. Blues Festival held on November 06, 1970. Hear him moan his earth-shaking blues and watch his unforgettable stage antics and you'll see why Sam Phillips - who also discovered Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry lee Lewis - called Howlin' Wolf his greatest discovery.The Band: Howlin' Wolf, vocals and harmonica - Sunnyland Slim, piano - Hubert Sumlin, guitar - Randy Joe Fullerton, bass - S.

Thank you! Howling Wolf was my grandfather's blues King,I been listening to him since I was a little girl and I still listen to him.❣ Love from Sweden💛💙

[@jeffrytrefry5425]

Trust me on this. The Wolf wouldn't have let anyone even think about harming the musical genius Hubert Sumlin and everybody knew that!

[@ThomasG--]

Sumlin was the best.

The wonderful Hubert Sumlin on lead.

[@andrewcowin3815]

Really great! Thanks for posting. Keith Richards had a funny story about Howlin' Wolf picking him up and carrying KR back to his hotel, or someplace, after Richards left a party in Chicago and passed out on the doorstep.

[@kswannie]

What a show that must have been!

[@jeffrytrefry5425]

The Wolf, in no uncertain terms, told Muddy to stay away from the ultra talented, hit maker Hubert Sumlin

[@silverkrieger1104]

Who is this Hubert guy and why stay away?

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

​@silverkrieger1104 Hubert was Wolf's guitar player. Muddy gave Hubert a bunch of cash to leave Wolf and come and play with his band. Understandably, Wolf was very upset and had some major words with Muddy about trying to steal his sideman. Hubert didnt want to get in the middle if these two legends so he wisely stayed in Wolf's band.

[@bahadiraydinonat3326]

Great choice by Slash to honor him and let him be known by younger generations.

[@francoisfortin5826]

To hear Brian Johnson (AC/DC and Steven Tyler) is truly awesome and insane on this great song I had no idea existed before Slash redid it!!!!!!!!

It's just so good.. not sure what year were talking about here but the rhythm and vibe of it was so unique and ahead of it's time.. today's rock n roll wouldn't have ever existed if it wasn't for the blues pioneers like howling wolf

[@pawelpap9]

It’s 1970. At this point it certainly wasn’t ahead of anything as many artists were already mimicking his style. That includes four white guys who stole this song from howling wolf in 1969 and got a lot of mileage out of it.

@@wildrover9650 my response to Led Zeppelin’s Lemon Song was about plagiarism. They totally changed the face of rock and roll with their 1st album. They could have given credit where credit was due and they still would have reaped a healthy sum of money. They plagiarized several songs. They absolutely made awesome covers and snippets but took all the glory for themselves.

The original sampling musicians before electronic samplers. While Led Zep are my favorite rock band by far, still they should have given credit where it was due. A little payback for bring provided some building blocks.

Learn from him. When your ears are open you'll rarely hear a better singer. Learn from him. There is more attitude and showmanship from a elderly guy that singing in his chair than 100's of singers that wear their uniform.

He was only 66 when he passed. So, older, but maybe not quite elderly. All these artists passed at too young an age.
