In 1965, Dave Davies of The Kinks sliced up his amplifier speaker with a razor blade, creating a sound so raw and distorted that the BBC initially banned their song. This act of sonic vandalism didn't just birth the power chord—it accidentally invented heavy metal decades before anyone knew what to call it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
