yeah everyone needs to realize that the blues was the foundation of all music that is here today. so for all you dumbasses who like rock n roll and heavy metal the blues is what probly inspired them.
@trooshnizzle For all of us dumbasses? Most Rock and or Heavy Metal fans love the blues. People who don't understand that they themselves listen to and shouldn't be considered a fan of everything. I love Heavy Metal, Hair metal, Arena Rock, Thrash Metal as well as pretty much anything bluesy or has that subtle rock tip. Not all metal fans are idiots :p.
I wish I cried like The Wolf "wooohoohwooohoooo" I'd cry all the time. My favorite is "Spoonful" it has the best guitar rubberband sound I ever heard.
For those 56 ass-wipes who didn't "LIKE" this video; what the fuck are you doing looking at Howlin' Wolf blues music videos in the first place? What in the name of God did you expect to find here, "Tiptoe Through the Tulips"?
@metaphid k mate calm down i didnt even write that my dad has been on my account for like a month, i don't even know who this hubert guy is. but hey ill let him know what you thought, same to @rockandroller007
@carlacostantino ... Hubert was a GREAT, and DID MUCH MORE THAN YOU ..... by the way, excuse "who are you" ?? ... 'cause no one here knows you .... maybe you've dodne nothing compared to what HUBERT DID, like SUPPORTING A GUY LIKE WOLF .... !!!!!
Hubert Sumlin invented modern rock guitar.So few know who he was.When Clapton invited Wolf to england to do set he insisted on Sumlin being there.I was very sad to hear of his passing.Wolf knew Huberts tallent........They made history together.miss you guys
good god...bill wyman said if he was on a desert island and could have only one blues he could hear ..it would be smokestack lightnin'...glad i get 'em all..so many "with it" people makin' comments on this post...i don't know is h. sumlin played the lead solo on "hidden charms" (my fave wolf song) ..if only there were live footage with good sound of that...thanx so much.
WOOOOOLFF! I love the shit outta Muddy "Mississippi" Waters. Worship Jimi Hendrix (and yes, he is a blues man). Adore John Lee Hooker. And I like the fuck out of Johnny Winter, Robert Johnson, Jimmy Page, Elmore (don't need to say HIS last name), and Duane Allman. But nobody can say that Wolf didn't do the damn thing like NObody else.
I'm a big fan of metal music i saw this on a metal documentary and I'm in to blues music like robert johnson and paul pena this is a great great singer.
Oh, the engine shine like gold. Oh, the train I ride on Oh, the engine shine like gold. Whoo, whoo hoo Just like gold. Oh, the train I ride on Oh, the engine shine like gold.

Ah, don't you hear me talkin' to ya woman. Wheoo, ooo, whee ooo Since I been goo eeoo
Here's a tribute to the nuances of the blues; compare my transcript of this video with published lyrics of Wolf's original 1956 'Smokestack Lightning'' recording (easily found all over the web):
******************************************
Howlin' Wolf (with Willie Dixon and Hubert Sumlin) performs Smokestack Lightning. Live England 1964.
(youtubeBLAHBLAHBLAH/watch?v=A1FK620bS7A)
The number that's goin out now, friend, is Smokestack Lighnin'.
I wish I could put about a thousand "likes" on this piece of music, and that someone would care one way or the other about Hutie Ledbetter!!!!!! This is pure Delta Blues art!!!!! Pure and simple THE BEST THERE IS OR WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! His name should be revered and remembered for all time in some Smithsonian Library of Congress somewhere - or maybe someplace even more sacred.
It was much more criminal when whites stole it than when blacks stole from each other. For one these songs were stories about a life that all blacks experienced, not whites. Blacks making music frequently worked together and shared ideas and material and even band members. Whites never shared the experiences of racism but reaped the benefits of it by stealing the credit for some amazing trends in music and gained financially more than any blacks that borrowed, stole or copied from other blacks.
@Miami1965258 IF you were smart, you would've considered the fact that a man who is half-white & half-black could father the child of a woman who is full blooded Indian....but of course you failed to catch that....
I'm not trying to be racist or anything, but it seems to me that the best musicians from let's say the 30s to the 60s were all black. Robert Johnson, Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, the list goes on.
@garryinmaine ...I cant belive I missed that Hubert Sumlin died on the 4th of this month.I get my news from msn and if it was on there I missed it.Could be they didnt think it was big story...........But Hubert Sumlin was a big story and still is.His guitar changed everything.
wrong time wrong place man i miss so much things, muhammed ali, bruce lee, god father, One Flew Over Cuckoo’s Nest, elvis presley...bob marley i cant even count.
Now there is a faggot named justin bieber.This faggot is a waste of sperm and O2
i dont even talk about twilight. BRAİN is FREE.. just a lot of morons dont know how to use it.
Just love this old blues.To bad you cant get teenagers etc to like it.To busy with mtv.I`ve lisned to blues a lot of years.I;m only 35 though.But:Respect.
This is absolutely fantastic. The black community is vital player in global culture, its incredible, exciting, and incalculable contribution is a tsunami of creativity, sentimentality, and human wealth. Musical geniuses such as these are directly responsible for our cultural heritage, without them the music probably would not be so unique as it is, it deserves to be cultivated, appreciated, and certainly has a place in the heritage of humanity. For things how are you worth to live. Thanks AFRICA
I am a metal head, but you cant deny this music is a huge influence on hard rock and metal. And just try to keep your feet from movin during this ..love it!
@Revanjj I am glad people realize this. Puts a smile on my face in this world of Pop Garbage thats out there. Kudos to you, and keep rockin the horns...i also love metal..
goota love someone that could climb away from being shoe less, and living under a house and saying to himself that he had worth and had something to sing about...lord knows for me...
love this...used to go to after hours clubs in Omaha and heard "music" I had never heard before...could get lost in it experience... great music, and great food...then the sun comes up...and you go home.
@20thcenturysir you do have a point. White ppl have stolen black ppls music to put it to their name and get all the credit for it. The beach boys are an excellent example
people on youtube just look at popular comments and think along time about them to try and prove any part of it wrong no matter how miniscule, trying to make themselves appear more intelligent infront of everyone. i love rock aswell as the blues. and im not even black to that other guy who replied to me, so why dont you youtube people try posting insightful comments yourselves instead of just putting other peoples comments down, missing the point of the comment entirely. obviously music evolves.
Through the decades I've sung the praises of the incredible contributions of Black folks to music. That said, it's simply false & divisive for commenter 20thCenturySir to say all the white musicians stole their music. All music builds on what came before. It deserves to be called theft only when proper credit is not given to those who deserve it. A great many Whites do deserve to be called thieves of music, & others do not. For example, Eric Clapton is no thief.
@Keeiman i read an atricle somewhere when jagger and richards met him in a hotel in new york,the stones were touring america in the 70,s and they were staying in the same hotel. when tey both seen the size of him they were standing there open mouthed a sheer mountain of a man
lol black people in the 20th century were the greatest musicians especially from the 1900-1950's because they were so oppressed in society, there the ones who have something to sing about, and you can hear it clearly through the blues. Thats why all the white musicians stole their music in following generations cause its so damn good, it went to rock n' roll (led zeppelin, the doors, cream, jimi hendrix etc.) and has just been changing through the years since
You can't steal music. Everyone is inspired by everyone else. This is a good thing and unavoidable unless you plug your ears. Any kind of art throughout history has always been through a series of trends and changes. Also, why do you consider it stealing for a white musician to be influenced by a black musician but you don't consider it stealing for a black musician to be influenced by another black musician? @20thCenturySir
@20thCenturySir so.. rap would be a whole lot better if we were still as backwards as we were in the 50's? interesting. let's go get some slaves my honkey! we must save popular music through racism!
Notice this was recorded in England!! This is the simplified version of the story: Blues greats couldn't get a gig in USA, because blues was ignored by white audiences and Black audiences had moved over to the smoother sounds of the likes of Nat King Cole. These guys were treated with great respect by the British and John Mayall etc sowed the seeds of the Rolling Stones, Clapton and the others. These guys made it big in USA and promoted the music, cleaned up for the new age.
ALL art and technology borrows from it's predecessors. Why can't we simply appreciate the roots of the music we've grown up with without all the lame racial overtones?
@20thCenturySir I'm actually watching this because I was watching a show about "heavy metal evolution" and how classical music, jazz, rock n' roll and BLUES influenced it :P
@20thCenturySir Actually, blacks stole from blacks much worse than whites. If they were alive today Son House, Kokomo Arnold and Leroy Carr could all sue the pants off Robert Johnson for stealing their stuff. Ah, but it's only criminal when whites do it, right?
HOwlin' Wolf remains The most powerful singer and player ever. He put it all in each song. This was his trademark song. i was introduced to Wolf as a young man by a fellow who tended bar at Gabe's in Seattle. He came in early mornings and I was there to listen to the music on their great Juke box. This man showed me who to listen to, Howlin' Wolf, Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker and more. Being A dumb kid from Montana I had never heard this and listened carefully before. I love it still
@koboldasylum Dont EVEN compare, noone else compares, so why do you? Slipknot is pathetic, But Metallica has amazing songwriting and music structures SPECIFICALLY for heavy metal. Howlin Wolf is 100% blues, not Heavy metal, they shouldnt be compared. Howlin Wolf had the most powerful voice in the world
Freddie King, Albert King, BB King... "The three kings". Howlin Wolf is right up there with them. He knows what it's all about (the Blues), and he knows how to make that harp GROOVE. Doesn't get any better. We lost one of the GREATS on the year of our bicentennial. I remember... Howl on, Chester!!!!
i bought the single in 1964. My olds were outraged that I didn't buy something more suitable for my 14th Birthday! I still have the single, scratched and noisy after all this time. Still sounds great though
Mr Wolf..please come on in. Sit anywhere you like and relax. Someone will be around to cater to your every need. Mr. Wolf...Thank you for sharing your soul with all of us here we are much, much better off for it. Oh, and Mr. Wolf you keep howlin now! Here?
The authentic blues sound of America struck a powerful chord with English/European audiences of the early sixties.........and it still resonates down the decade's.
Most soulful version of a song ever created? (rhetorical question dumbass)

lol black people in the 20th century were the greatest musicians especially from the 1900-1950's because they were so oppressed in society, there the ones who have something to sing about, and you can hear it clearly through the blues. Thats why all the white musicians stole their music in following generations cause its so damn good, it went to rock n' roll (led zeppelin, the doors, cream, jimi hendrix etc.) and has just been changing through the years since

You can't steal music. Everyone is inspired by everyone else. This is a good thing and unavoidable unless you plug your ears. Any kind of art throughout history has always been through a series of trends and changes. Also, why do you consider it stealing for a white musician to be influenced by a black musician but you don't consider it stealing for a black musician to be influenced by another black musician? @20thCenturySir

Notice this was recorded in England!! This is the simplified version of the story: Blues greats couldn't get a gig in USA, because blues was ignored by white audiences and Black audiences had moved over to the smoother sounds of the likes of Nat King Cole. These guys were treated with great respect by the British and John Mayall etc sowed the seeds of the Rolling Stones, Clapton and the others. These guys made it big in USA and promoted the music, cleaned up for the new age.

ALL art and technology borrows from it's predecessors. Why can't we simply appreciate the roots of the music we've grown up with without all the lame racial overtones?

@20thCenturySir I'm actually watching this because I was watching a show about "heavy metal evolution" and how classical music, jazz, rock n' roll and BLUES influenced it :P

The only thing that stings in your logic is "stole". If we can learn from from each other, we can grow as individuals and in this case musicians.
Remember, there are only two types of music. Good and bad.
And if we can learn from those who are the best.. lets learn to become one of the best.
Personally, I believe that the whole learning process is part of what we call "quality of life". Quality of life became priceless with Hubert Sumlin.
RIP.

@20thCenturySir Actually, blacks stole from blacks much worse than whites. If they were alive today Son House, Kokomo Arnold and Leroy Carr could all sue the pants off Robert Johnson for stealing their stuff. Ah, but it's only criminal when whites do it, right?

HOwlin' Wolf remains The most powerful singer and player ever. He put it all in each song. This was his trademark song. i was introduced to Wolf as a young man by a fellow who tended bar at Gabe's in Seattle. He came in early mornings and I was there to listen to the music on their great Juke box. This man showed me who to listen to, Howlin' Wolf, Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker and more. Being A dumb kid from Montana I had never heard this and listened carefully before. I love it still

Howlin' Wolf blows pansies like Metallica and Slipknot right out of the water. They just can't compare in pure badassness.

@koboldasylum Dont EVEN compare, noone else compares, so why do you? Slipknot is pathetic, But Metallica has amazing songwriting and music structures SPECIFICALLY for heavy metal. Howlin Wolf is 100% blues, not Heavy metal, they shouldnt be compared. Howlin Wolf had the most powerful voice in the world

Freddie King, Albert King, BB King... "The three kings". Howlin Wolf is right up there with them. He knows what it's all about (the Blues), and he knows how to make that harp GROOVE. Doesn't get any better. We lost one of the GREATS on the year of our bicentennial. I remember... Howl on, Chester!!!!
