4.0 out of 5 stars Watch the packaging?, February 22, 2009

By 

Gregg Collins "xplosive music entertainment" (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Link Wray: The Rumble Man (DVD)

Just an FYI. When I ordered the DVD "The King of Rumble" I was informed by your website that I could get another DVD to complete my collection of the history of Link Wray. This was a special 1/2 price deal so I said ok. It turns out that "The King of Rumble" and "The Rumble man" are the exact same product but with different packaging. The release dates are 2003 and 2006 respectively but the same product nonetheless. It would be a good business practice, at least for this product, to inform the buyer of this information.
Regardless of this review I have had a great experience overall with Amazon and I will continue to purchase my media here.
Thanks,
Gregg Collins

This review is from: Link Wray: The Rumble Man (DVD)

I may not have this word for word, but Link says at one point in this dvd, "if the spirit's there, rock and roll doesn't age". That really sums up what this dvd is about. Some folks will be disappointed that there is no footage of Link in his classic years. This whole disc was done in the mid 90s. Part of it is Link telling his story to an interviewer and the rest is live performances. What's nice is that the interview parts don't overlap with the live songs. This tends to happen alot on these kinds of dvds, but when Link plays a song, he plays it in it's entirety. You see Link here and the guy looks old. Hell, he is old! But when you listen to him tell his story and watch him up on that stage, this guy is excited and enthused. He's a man who obviously loves what he does and has never lost that rock and roll spirit. He talks about his career as though he's telling it for the first time. It's downright infectious, and you love him for it. And a humble guy, no ego at all. Sadly, not many folks will see this. But this was an important man, a man who the entire hard rock genre owes it's existence. Last year we lost one of the greatest and last of the rock and roll pioneers, but thankfully we at least have this dvd for those who'll never get to see Link perform. Good sound and picture quality too. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Link Wray: The Rumble Man, November 29, 2010

This review is from: Link Wray: The Rumble Man (DVD)

I really enjoyed this video of Link Wray! I just wish there were more video-footage of him playing, especially from the 50's & 60's. Some of the great features of this video are Link Wray's telling of how his music career came about, what happened over the course of time with different record labels, his success, and his legacy. Not only is Link Wray's playing on this video great to listen to, but you get a real sense of the person, the man, Link Wray is. He comes across as a great guy, somebody you would really enjoy hangin' out with, and talkin'. I would recommend this video to anyone into Link Wray's music and learning about his musical career & great enduring legacy as one of Rock & Roll's #1 drivin' forces on guitar!
