There is only one word to describe this:
"Cool"
Such a brilliant atmospheric song, and so simple to play
this is pure 50s and nothing is better. "ahead of its time" is an insult.
Just slipped back in time fifty years. Used to play it bunches with the "Stingrays", still have the Strat!!
Greatest pairing of music and film ever? Yeah, probably.........
Honestly...does it really get any better than this??
No, Gazoo, it doesn't....
Still sounds dangerous, risky, raw, and edgy...in fact....just like and roll should be! WAY ahead of it's time.
You mean Wray ahead of its time.....
yes those guys were terrifying LOL
Only instrumental ever banned from radio play . The powers that be didn't like the title believing it could incite youth to violence.
The ultimate RockHit ever...perfect!
I was born in 1973 and I love this music more than today's rap crap
at age 42!..My father played in a blues band.
Damn good classic bad ass scene, just like from my childhood.
Link Wray - king of rock and roll forever
the soundtrack our lives... rock n roll yeah
Emiliano Ortega-Guerrero AWESOME
remember the rock roots ( this was the revolution!)
This is the song that plays when I walk down the street
This is how you do a rock song that's simple and still has tons of attitude. Butt simple, only four chords to it (E minor, D, A and B7th). And that's allegedly not an effect at the end. Wray's amp speaker was fried after multiple takes and was crapping out on him. The birth of punk, and possibly heavy metal as well, right here in this classic song.
This song influenced the heavy metal bands of the '70s & '80s more than anything.
Look at the video here on RUclips where Wray is in an interview and explains the effect at the end. It is indeed on purpose and he says nothing about the amp speaker frying. It came from using a mike on the amp the first time he played it on stage. It's called 'Link Wray on Rumble'.
Hasen Pfeffer I don't know exactly what Link said, but it sounds to me like the speed of the tremolo on his amp was simply increased as the song went on, till it was at its maximum setting by the time of the fadeout. It's very easy to duplicate this effect with any decent tremolo unit.
You guys are so rock'n'roll, talking about tremolos and amp speakers and shit.
Dsus2, E, A, B7
I remember some of those rumbles in the late 50;s early 60's at Asbury Park High School! Always at a football or basket ball games with some rival schools!
A simple and enjoyable song to play.
Awesome...the original tough man of guitar...what a cool guy
Saw It Might Get Loud....now every time I hear the Rumble I think of Jimmy Page!!!!
ditto
If it wasn't for that documentary and Jimmy playing it I would've never knew who played this and I've been wondering for years.
how can a song that's actually 55 years old still be so cool? so cool in fact, that it would still slip into any scene of a tarantino, soderbergh or coen brothers film & completely steal that scene!
Way ahead of derivatives like punk, grunge, etc. Blues, R&B, R&R, would influence future rockers to this day, whether they know it or not.
Savadorason1 -Couldn't agree more. Cheers!
This is an awesome 50's song. Totally atmospheric. Gone are the great instrumentals like these.
On this day in 1959 {Feb. 10th} Link Wray & His Wraymen performed "Rumble" on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand
Ten months earlier on Apr. 28th, 1958 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; it peaked at #16 & spent 14 weeks on the Top 100
It was featured in the movie 'Pulp Fiction' and the pilot episode of HBO's 'The Sopranos'
Sixteen days after his death Bruce Springsteen performed it in tribute at a concert in Trenton, NJ...
R.I.P. Mr. Wray {1929 - 2005} and Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}
That really is a cool tune.
I heard this song on some show last year, and have been searching for it since then. Finally, I watched Pulp Fiction today, and there it was. I feel so relieved.
Me and Rob (drummer on Shadowman) toured Europe a couple of times, and Australia too - alas, no US gigs, so the only Cambridge we may have played is in the UK... we did some great shows in England and Scotland.
Link's US touring band did great, too, and we shared some tour stories over the web when Link had passed away.
Hour long encore - that sounds like Link! probably all the songs again, in a different order, with Rumble as opening and closing song.
Chaos, music, magic!
I just learned about Link Wray yesterday at the National Museum of Native Americans in lower Manhattan!
this lil jam n flick is so boss.
The Original Recording Of This Song Was Recorded In a Chicken Coop In Accokeek, MD. He Is A Good Friend Of Mine
love this part actually love this whole movie Jerry Lewis was the mann
Link Wray brought my here !!!!!
This song is just so cool. First song I learned to play on a guitar. We had a disc jockey in Cleveland,Ohio named Mad Daddy and he ended his program with Rumble every night. He also was on tv 4 awile,i heard he got fired 4 sayin' hang loose mother goose your rags dripping with tomato juice Great videoA++++
Got the original 45 on swan records with Jack the ripper on the B side, Link Wray was the Man !!!
That was so bad ass! Loved the way that one guy “flicked” his cigarette at the cop.
I love this ,don't know why just love that guitar! I remember sitting in the back seat of mom & dads Ford riding on a Saturday night ,just out cruising for fun,and this was on the radio!
Wow, hadn't heard this before! It sounds way ahead of it's time. Cool!
still kick's ass today !!!
I just love the 50's "proto punk" by Link Wray (and his Ray Men). Duane Eddy, Eddie Cochran, and others, really exploded the potential of the electric guitar, and especially distortion electric guitar. Amps turned up loud, with early amp effects, twangy guitars, and driving primordial drum lines.These were a part of this early punk expression. It was a reflection of inner city pachuco attitude's that developed just after WWII. Long live the twanger's and banger's.
Holy Heck, Shawn Hearte the Epic Surf Guitarist needs to be all up in this thang
I am great friends with 1 of his sons , Linc was / is A Legend....Great Post , thank's
I hear this song and all that comes to mind is Pulp Fiction and Blow!
One of the great electric guitar tunes of all time.
One of the all-time greats.
True or not, that is one of the most badass rock legends ever.
Great job GS MovieMoments producing this. The song it self inspired Pete Townsend and influenced his style. He calls it the tune with the world's first power chord.
If any song was ahead of it's time-----------
Love that 50s noir mood!
great match up with video.
When the song comes first the video represents the song.
This song caught everyone off balance.
The only instrumental to ever be band from the Radio - official reason given back in the 50s - "because it just sounds like trouble"!!! How cool is that?????
Good write-up Jim Philips I think I equated this style to surf music first - and then backed into the original Link Wray connection a little later. You can definitely hear it in Neil Young's music.
If I ever get married again, I'm going to do a 2-step swagger down the aisle to this...
perfect pairing
Classic song. Cool vid. I like when he flicked his cig at the cop.
Amazing good !!!
Mad Daddy Pete Myers. One of the original crazy rock n roll DJs. WJW & WHK, I think.
great sound!
Amazing!
splendide !
uno de los mejores rif de la historia de la MÚSICA
Timeless
...but Link was prepared: he had a handgun (probably a revolver - ' a real big thing' Link said), and when things got rough he took it out, carefully placed it on his amp, and played the next song. The fight continued, but they didn't go near the stage anymore.
That's how Link told me things happened... I was his bassplayer on Shadowman, Barbed Wire and at least one live album, so plenty of time to hear this kind of stories!
Super badass clip!
argh. Link Wray. amazing
I thought that was from "The Delicate Delinquent." I haven't seen that on TV in nearly 40 years.
Perfect juxtaposition.
To Whom it may concern: we got this straightened out. Right, Vanessa?
Put 'em up, put 'em up!!!
Linda Maria "Delicate Delinquent", eh? Not familiar with this one.
and Jerry stumbles in .
Classic!
This looks like a badass movie like The Wanderers, The Outsiders or Rebel without a cause.
Hi -
The story of an audience mobbing the stage is one Link told me, too; it didn't have anything to do with the title Rumble (I think that was coined by Bleyer's daughter). Link, his brothers and Shorty Horton played at a dance when rumour had it that two gangs chose there and then to 'sort things out', and one of Link's brothers overheard some heavy guys making threats thinking Link was ' one of them' (=the other gang). Sure enough a fight broke out, and they were threatening the stage...
It was a typical pretty good Jerry Lewis comedy. That's all I can tell you.
Coolest song ever
The start of it all.
eu já vi filme bom mais igual há esse nunca tinha visto não!!!beijo emiliana do manejo.
To give you some more background information: when the band played live, they did plenty of vocal stuff and a handful of instrumentals. During (what was to become) Rumble, Link's brother would put his vocal mic into Link's amp, making it go loud and distorted - and the audience loved it. That's what Link was trying to recreate (at acceptable sound levels for recording).
There you have it. Link was, in fact, the first known guitarist who deliberatly created an artificially distorted sound.
Link WAS the one man garage band!!
Badass!!!
At the 2:25 mark, the brass Knuckles he puts on becomes a crowbar in his right hand seen just over his shoulder. That actor had recently died and was a famous Soap actor in his later years.
Wow. Pretty awesome sound actually. only came here because i was doing a research paper and Link Wray came up so i wanted to give him a try. It's funny that with this being his first hit single and was banned in NY and Boston for fear of "inciting teen gang violence" yet west side story was on broadway the same year and it had some of the same kind of similarities involving teenage gang violence.
Post-modern hell has a grrrreat soundtrack...
So ahead of its time - this powerful instrumental is still hot. Thanks for posting :o)-
I don't know why but I think of GIs hunting Charlie in the jungles of Vietnam when I listen to this song.
nobody recognise when Tarantino used this?
Desperado
Reanimated_Dead_Flesh cafetería scene Pulp Fiction
Reanimated_Dead_Flesh nobody noticed it in BLOW
Need go powder my nose! ( pulp fiction)
Also Robert Rodriguez in 'Roadracers'
I genuinely believe the ending to this clip is the most badass thing to exist.
Your chance to vote him into the Hall of Fame this year
Go to their web site and VOTE
The first sound of Rock
This would be great entrance music for a bad-guy professional rassler!!
great tune good vid fits well
Well, - no, Link told me the story about the gang fight and the gun and the story of how Rumble came about as two different occasions. Remeber, Rumble wasn't named Rumble at first, it was their take at a stroll - that's what the audience requested, 'hey, play us a stroll'. The stroll was a slow dance, so Doug started a slow drum beat, to which Link improvised the chords that became 'that oddball song' everybody kept asking for. The acetate said 'Oddball', it was changed to 'Rumble' for release!
Hey that's Richard Bakalyan in that scene. No wonder he got type cast into playing the bad guy in many TV shows and movies.
Wow. What an awesome upload. Thanks!!
Someone give me a cigarette..
I know it also from the great movie Pulp Fiction
that was Ace of Spades. Similar intro.
Cool!!!
Jerry Lewis' first solo effort. Dean refuse to play a cop so Darren McGavin ( A Christmas Story ) was given the role.
reminds me of the cramps.
Plus - lots of people first heard the tremolo effect when they heard Rumble (in the closing chords). And Link is generally acknowledged as the Father of the Powerchord, also because of Rumble.
People from Bob Dylan to Sid Vicious, Neil Young to Lemmy and Pete Townshend to Elvis Costello say they were influenced by this song by Link Wray and his Ray Men. ( "I wouldn't have picked up a guitar if it wasn't for Link Wray's Rumble" - Pete Townshend.)
Rumble actually DID change history.
OK?
tough guy; good thing there's no wind on that street
Cuántos llegaron aquí porque vieron el video en el recital de Morrissey? En mi caso, Santiago 11-11-2015.
