Useful when it didn’t become the center of music. The real musical advances were when Eric Clapton cranked his Les Paul and Marshall combo to 11 and overdrove the vacuum tubes in his amp and inside the mixing board, and when Dave Davies cut his speaker cone with a razor blade on ‘You Really Got Me’.
