Cheap Guitars, Big Impact: Tracing the Sound from Johnny Ramone to Hardcore

Om avsnittet

This episode dives deep into how punk guitarists turned inexpensive instruments and amp setups into the defining roar of the movement. We trace Johnny Ramone’s relentless downstrokes, Steve Jones’s fuzz‑filled swells, Greg Ginn’s dissonant assaults, East Bay Ray’s surf‑rock swagger, and hardcore’s distortion‑blasted intensity, showing how DIY constraints shaped a sonic identity that rippled through generations.
