5 comments so far (post your own)By the way, Tahvo, I finally checked out that video from YouTube that you linked. Simply atrocious. I knew nothing of Frijid Pink before watching that performance, but if the rest of their oeuvre is anything like that screechy cover of House of the Rising Sun, then I'll pass.

The main problem I have with many of the rock 'n roll guitarists that emerged in that era is that they abused distortion and other effects to such an absurd degree. That era pretty much gave rise to the rockist "guitars or nothing" mentality that continues to permeate casual and critical circles alike. That's just one reason why I get on my soapbox about people not showing any respect for pre-1960s music. There is no justifiable reason to ignore the first six decades of the 20th century and focus only on what happened between 1965-1976 (give or take a couple years), inclusive.

"You're forgetting that a lot of those early rock guitarists readily messed around w/primitive effects, or attempted to achieve them. Link Wray was trying distortion out, Dick Dale was an early techie of sorts, & the Rock & Roll Trio tried out some sort of primitive distortion on their early records."

So the dearth of the original audience is reason enough for music from the 1900-1960 to be shafted? By that logic, we shouldn't bother watching classic Hollywood films from the silent era up through the 1950s anymore because most of the people who saw them when they were new are dead.
