Do you think that Distortion changed rock and roll?

If so then how?





What was the first recorded rock and roll song using distortion?|||well yeah, its just another kind of tone to play with really, but it is also sort of a philosophy of letting music be a bit dirtier and more dissonant.





the first that i know of is link wray. in the days before distortion pedals, he basically killed the cone on an amp to get that tone.|||That thing that Wire %26amp; String said about Link Wray is true. I was going to tell that story...|||Damnit, I was gonna say Link Wray as well. He would either blow the speaker, or poke holes through it.
