Not sure if you're talking about yourself here, but let's look at Miles Davis' and Herbie Hancock's careers as examples of jazz that manage to do some rather interesting (some might even say perverse) things to their sounds. This would immediately mean that any dismissal of distorted guitars as noise is both unfair and disingenuous. -- Sumant Srivathsan sumants.blogspot.com
