Link Wray’s ‘Rumble’ …played by Jez Quayle
Jan 16, 2011 Rock Bands
Released in 1958, this was Link Wray’s first big hit and biggest seller. Like a lot of Link’s music, it’s not too difficult to play …simple, but sooo effective …and innovative, of course! In ‘Rumble’ link introduced the ‘power chord’ to rock music, as well as the deliberate use of guitar distortion (aka ‘fuzz’ / ‘overdrive’, etc.) – as used by pretty well all rock bands, some or all of the time, since the 1960s. Quentin Tarrantino used this instrumental in his 1994 film ‘Pulp Fiction’ together with Link’s ‘Ace of Spades’. In this video I’m playing along with a backing track I recorded.
Rock out with Chain Link Bracelets
Mar 21, 2010 Classic Rock
Sometimes you need to add a little edge to classic outfits, and this season, the easiest way to do that is by pairing pieces with chain link bracelets and other jewelry that is inspired by rock and roll. With the fall and winter runway shows in full swing, we’ve noticed a lot of these type of bracelets on the runway. From Burberry Prorsum to Louis Vuitton, designers are loving the edgy elegance of chain link bracelets paired with studded clutches and stilettos.
For cool weather clothes, the trend of the moment is texture. Mixing and matching mohair sweaters and wool with chain link bracelets lets you show off your classy and your sassy side. Odes to the 80s, chain link bracelets today are more high end and high fashion than ever before. The most popular styles utilize multiple strands and even use rhinestone and metal charms and pearls as part of their appeal. It’s about contrasting materials that offer a sense of balance.
Other chain link bracelets use the style but show it off in different ways. For example, we’ve spotted some cuff bracelets with chain link overlay. A statement accessory like this looks great when you want to dress up a simple white tank top and jeans. It’s an easy way to update your look inexpensively and with style. You can also mix and match chain link bracelets with others that you already own. By wearing a medley of metals, you’ll look modern and cool. This also gives you the freedom to mix silver, yellow gold and rose gold as opposed to being too matchy-matchy. Carrie Bradshaw rocked the trend well in Sex and the City: The Movie as she looked chic and fabulous in tiers of chain link. To try this trend at home, start small, then work your way up to bigger and bolder chain link bracelets and designs.
