@boothl232 Link is cool and I respect him and love his music.But if it wasn't for him it would have been for someone else's sake to have been the first to start playing like that,there's nothing spacial about that. Trendy "genre"-names like:Punk,metal,heavy metal,grunge and whatever a generation gives names to it's so called newest thing is quite meaningless 'cause it's actually all simply ROCK'N'ROLL !!!
Link Wray invented the power-chord (overplay) if it wasn't for him there'd be no HEAVY METAL or Punk. Youtube is full of people who are haters when it comes to REAL talent. Face it folks, Link Wray was a great guitar player. He served his country in Korea and lost a lung there (to Tuberculosis). Link was (and is) a hero.

@deedeecapone This is like saying Abraham Lincoln's cool, but someone else would have done the Emancipation Proclamation. Yeah, but WHEN?

@posthastey If you think Link overplays on this, for the love of God, don't watch any Malmsteen videos, they might damage your organs
