@DEZCFC86 the warriors were the best. that film was one of the best movies ever created. it was originally a novel written in 68 and walter hill created the movie in 79. enough respect to walter hill.

[profaqualung]

To be historically correct, Johnny Burnette [Train Kept A Rollin] was the first use of 'fuzz' to achieve national recognition in 1956. The effect was produced by a couple of loose tubes in the amp.

"Rumble" was the first instrumental to chart nationally using the effect - which is amazing, because it was 'banned' in a number of cities. Too suggestive to the juvenile delinquent crowd.

Link Wray in the R & R Hall of Fame in 2013 - Long Overdue!

Power chords & Danelectro Guitarlins Forever

[jackierave]

@profaqualung So cool of you to give Johnny credit... :)

[chainlinkray]

@profaqualung Great comment and info. Paul Burlison used that amp defect to get that sound and Link sliced his speakers with a razor to get that sound. Hats off to both of them.

[profaqualung]

@chainlinkray

Correctamundo Sir,

A #2 pencil was also used to punch strategically placed holes in the speaker cones of the studio speakers.

Also, to help match the 'live' performance sound in the recording studio, was the use of the Danelectro 31 fret [3 1/2 octave] Guitarlin.

The man was a musical genius ! ! !

[doodleguitarist]

Expensive milkshakes...

[TheOrderoftheOwl]

Death Grips.

[lissmats]

Superman like!!!



[SuperKitastrophie]

Youtube REALLY needs a repeat button!

[chainlinkray]

@SuperKitastrophie I agree! lol!

[RighteousWilly]

The flip side of the 45 was also bitchen; it was "The Swag". "Swag" was the 1950's slang for the proceeds of robbery or other kind of theft.

[Saintive]

The father of stoner rock!

[therockkkkher]

one bad ass mofo, like to drink one at the twisted titty in ensanada with this boy !!!

[RighteousWilly]

This instrumental was banned from many radio stations in the fifties.

[huskyjerk]

@RighteousWilly But why?

[RighteousWilly]

@huskyjerk Back in the 1950's there was an explosion of youth violence. The inner cities were crowded with immigrants from post war Europe, Puerto Rico, Appalachia and the Black-Belt South. The youth of the era formed street gangs with names like "The Red Hook Boys", the Cobra's, the Apaches, etc., etc. These gangs fought for control of the streets. The fight was called a rumble. The U.S. Congress formed subcommitties to address "juvenile delinquency". This music was thought to glorify this

[huskyjerk]

@RighteousWilly Interesting stuff, and well written. Thanks.

[RighteousWilly]

@huskyjerk Wikipedia is suprisingly weak on this subject. The best book about the era IMHO is "The Shook-Up Generation" by H.E. Salisbury (1958). Public outrage about the street violence and these colorful, very visible street gangs led to condemnation of what the public was blaming for the youth violence: comic books, movies like "Rebel Without a Cause" & "Untamed Youth" and, most of all: the lewd, pulsating beat of rock'n'roll!!

[sycho127]

"Goddamnit that's a pretty fucking good milkshake!"

[P05T3RB0Y]

This song kills like a rusty knife.



[ForeverYoung58]

@P05T3RB0Y Is that good or bad?

[Athanrozz]

[Ecosse57]

[edn172]

[sublimedub]

@edn172 when they walk into jack rabbit slims this song is playing in the background

[edn172]

@sublimedub oh yeah, your right!

[golfreak923]

And not a single "who the eff I is" was given that day.

[JadeTheBlade69]

Thats a good fucking shake!

[MrDaytripper22]

Last time I checked, he's STILL not in the rock and roll hall of fame. This needs to change!

[ChrisYonts]

Pulp Fiction = fucking crap.

[xYogurt]

@ChrisYonts Explain

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@ChrisYonts Pulp Fiction is great. Gtfo my internet.

[BasementBeginnings]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green It's also his Internet, meaning he too is entitled to give his full honest feedback, even if it's negative feedback.

If you are getting butthurt about it, then you're the hater.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@BasementBeginnings Cool it. I was fuckin' around. It's the internet.

Yes, I butthurt.

[BasementBeginnings]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green You cool it, boss.

[Noodles37UK]

I'm old enough to remember those pop outs. The plastic came with the record player didn't it? 3 triangles meeting in the middle or something. Glad I discovered this guy this week.

[hxo20292]

"Rumble Mambo" was not on the same label. It was on the Okeh label. This was the only release he had on Cadence.

[Gorrrz]
