Good ass call...and whatever. No shame. Bulls on Parade was a skatepark anthem and top 40 hit, with radio stations playing that solo. It was different than anything else on airwaves at the time...and in hindsight sounds like Morello is crabscratching a feedbacking guitar on a turntable. I, too was like WTF in its day

Didn't Morello have his guitars wired all weirdly to be able to get scratching sounds more easily?

Noisey Summer sent me on a quest to find obnoxious filtered fuzz.

Just saw Squarepusher...I've wanted to see him for almost 15 years. The techno/d'n'b/sequenced stuff was so badass and that bass playing. I made some believers out of people talking them into skipping AC/DC to see him though. I think I listened to Burning'n Tree about as many times as Christ the Album driving 10 hours every weekend for 4 years to see my wife (and that 4 hour a day commute on top of that). All time great stuff.

Amebix, G.I.S.M., Kraftwerk, Crass, and Final Exit were also bands that always keep my interest//blow my mind. I just never wonder about their gear (except for the Crass fuzz question that you answered). All those noisy Japanese bands too (Tranquilizer, Zouo, Gai). The Cravats were a recent surprise. I guess all of them have made me say WTF in the way they have arranged/mixed/made sounds with the limitations of their gear.

I must have listened to M.A.N. a thousand times trying to pick up recording techniques, vocal sounds, and general badassery.

I achieved some lifetime goals in the past decade including meeting Tom and Peter and seeing Squarepusher and Sonic Boom several times... I saw most of my other WTF moments as a youngin... Most of my WTF moments have come from live shows and not necessarily on records or whatever...

Also anything Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, or Bernie Worrell ever did on a Moog, and for that matter anything Sun Ra did on his Mini or Rocksichord...

Both Battles albums blew my mind. I think those were a big reason for me starting to look outside of fuzz and delay for my sounds.

I learned that you could Oscillate delays

Two pickups with independent volumes and a 3 way switch I think. He was able to use the toggle switch like a dj would use a cross fader this way.

The Mentally Ill used an original Superfuzz I believe. That guitar tone is legendary.

Turns out I don't know what kind of fuzz he was using after all. Jax fuzz?

The most recent wtf moment I had was when I first heard this tune, in 2005. I mean, I'd listened to faster music, more brutal music, more melodic music... But that was just so crushingly HEAVY. I think what made it wtf was that technically it was all stuff that I could pull off but there was something about the way they pulled it off that took it to a massive level, and thus made it wtf for me - there was nothing in my experience that I could use to achieve that heaviness.

It's still my benchmark for heavy.

Speaking of wtf moments: they're building a studio in NYC.

the 13th Floor Elevators' "Easter Everywhere" album. it's amplifier vibrato played with some kind of effect on, but it's weird as...well, as Roky.
