Link Wray - Jack The Ripper - (The Rumble Man, UK, 1996)

[@thomasfalbo9744]

The man who invented bad ass. His story should be the first thing you see when you walk into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.

[@TheWolfsnack]

Check out the documentary Rumble: the Indians who rocked the world....amazing stuff on Link and others.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

​@@EatAPeach72...There were some mistakes and omissions in that movie...Elvis' great-great-great grandmother on his mother's side was full-blooded Cherokee. In two of his films, 'Flaming Star' and 'Stay Away Joe', he played indigenous characters. Some of the biggest names in Country music had/have indigenous ancestry...Spade Cooley(Western Swing star), Hank Williams(he was inducted into the Native American Hall of Fame as was Jimi Hendrix), Roy Rogers, Kitty Wells, Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gale, Willie Nelson, Marty Stuart, and Carrie Underwood.

That is pure rock and roll, completely untamed and outta control.

[@tangerinefizz11]

Link seems like a positive person who encouraged younger musicians.

I love how he just throws back a beer like nothing at the end. What a total badass. Which I could've seen him live before he passed.

Link Wray, telling the soundboard operator to "Go to 11!"

[@infoscholar5221]

Man, like Iggy Pop or Willy Deville and Johnny Thunders in their individuality and total commitment, this man was a swaggering giant and one of a kind. Your punk disciples will remember you always.

[@HaroldWayneSaxtonJr-bd8vk]

This puts a huge smile on my face every time I see it, Every time

[@lenneal6367]

You know, Link Wray just seems to have been an all-around Good Guy. His daughter Charlotte posts comments on videos of him from time to time, and honestly, he just really seems to have been a truly decent, honorable man.

[@markbeale8635]

A legend playing a masterpiece

[@garywray2503]

So proud

[@gustavorodriguez6365]

Ese hombre (Link Wray) irradia energia (a pesar de su edad en ese momento: unos 67 años, aunque usted no lo crea...)

[@mountainstartemple6041]

0:21 ... ok that was cool ... bringing his guitar close to the people at the front so they can run their fingers all over the strings ... haha that was such a great spontaneous moment!

[@Capricosm]

I agree.

[@estoy1001]

You can touch it when he lets you, else he gotta cut a bitch.

[@Capricosm]

Jimmy Page said Link was a big influence on his playing.

[@herself50]

Love Link.. Native American musician. Never got the recognition he deserves!. ❤❤

[@livefree8211]

Pretty racist statement Every freaking guitar player that is famous bows down to link wray... Cause he is awesome

[@herself50]

From a 100 % native sister, I love Link Wray, an Amazing musician!.. I still don’t think he got recognized by much of the world for his awesome talent!

2:00 Link Wray: *Gives bass player a wtf this is my show not your show look* Bass Player: *So sorry, sir please don't kill me look*

[@TenaciousTheSketcher]

Not really. I think it was more of a look that let the bassist know the next part of the song is coming so a change is coming up. A lot of musicians do it for live shows. Well the good ones that don't pre-record everything. It's how they let the band know the next measure is coming up when ever it gets crazy like this.

[@Whirlwind-tf4mh]

When I was an impressionable teenager back in the early 60s, Link Wray was THE hottest, THE coolest, THE toughest, THE most dangerous, THE cutest, THE meanest, THE scariest guitarist I’d EVER heard. I still have my 45 of “Jack the Ripper.” What a totally bad influence he was and his music brought out the worst in me, it was so thrilling! It’s the Indian way of damning our souls to hell, perhaps….

[@RealmoftheBlackShadow]

I doubt that this would have been considered great even in the 1940's.

He didn't play his best on this one.but it certainly wasn't lacking energy and mojo.

[@timmcfarland2853]

You can see where Jeff Beck gets his onstage persona from.

[@richardhincemon]

The Ramones, MC 5, Motorhead, Jimi Hendrix and Pete Townsend and many other musicians were influenced by Link Wray.

Attitude and the energy are much more important than technical skills when playing rock 'n roll.
