Link Wray - Run Chicken Run

[GTX1123]

According to the book Capitol Rock there was some crazy guy that would go nuts whenever Link would play this song at a club in SE DC. This crazy guy would grab the cash register and throw it through the window so the guy who owned the bar would beg Link not to play the song.

[JarshMaul]

I just heard about Link on pandora yesterday and I'm in love with his music so far. Here's to music withstanding the test of time!

[misterbamboostick]

@JarshMaul True.

[thesinner922]

blues is 10x heavier than gay ass metal (thumbs up?)

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

[ibanezxz500]

[fordpickup41]

LINK CAN LAY THE ROCK DOWN HARD

[misterbamboostick]

@dsmolnar I understand why, I was also mesmerized when I heard it for the first time.

[ChristianU2ubeh]

Heavy as hell!

[Nawtqt]

Oh, the memories Link Wray brings back...The late 50's early 60's...Alexandria Virginia....Oh yea....

[misterbamboostick]

@Nawtqt Too bad I wasn't even born then....:s

[siglerproductions]

@Nawtqt dang I used to live there. man, if I could meet anyone from that time period it would be him.

[zaaritha]

This is really good!

[crazypatrick1993]

a great hooray for the wild guitar :D

[KraYarK]

What the fuck is happening to music. Older it gets the more I like it.

Fuckin' sick of mainstream "musicians" trying to sound like people 40 years before them.

[stupididiot13]

he was waiting for technology to keep up but he kept 3 decades ahead so move to the right lane you modern guitarists...

[tonupharry]

gercha

[xyloplax]

That just steams along, don't it? Definitely way ahead of its time on the scratchy lick.

[skinnydoggyz]

accessible and original!

[thawthepast]

The best!

[blackmagnetictape]

Holy shit, so far ahead of it's time. That scratchy weird minimal little riff is what you expect to hear on a noise-punk song, not a rock & roll song from the early 60's.

[SpeedTriple59]

Link what a legend..

RUN CHICKEN RUN - LINK WRAY WILD GUITAR JIVER

dj tall mikes favorites

[XuliusCaesar]

Anyone who's picked up a guitar in the last 50 years owes a credit to Link Wray

[farticlephysicist]

No words, just great music

[telecasterchris]

LOVE these licks.  Great treats for guitar players.

[CulticMonkey]

GREAT!

[aucksmix]

When Link would play this as his last song at DC's "Rocket Room," the place went absolutely nuts. Love it.

[MrHopeTelevision]

YEAH BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

[koyteSSS]

yeaaaaa

[errotari]

Really a riot. 1964 Alfredo Mendieta recorded an INSANE cover of this as "Chicken Run". Don't miss it!

[Skinwalker122]

I Love it. Great Rock n Roll

[TheSunRecords]

Gotta love these guitar licks!

[imdunin]

@TheSunRecords this guy was the original guitar hero many people like pete townshend were inspired to take up the guitar when they heard him play
