Words that could only ever come from naive child who's never had to fight a worse to the death on a battle field, after discovering it standing next too a large pile of bloody goop that used to be your squad.

No, no, humanity isn't surviving a war with them. That sheer blood lust just isn't in us.

WE WILL CONTROL

I find it weird and fascinating that the Hammond organ took off as a successful instrument at all, let alone how it became a staple of rock & roll music. I get that smaller churches probably played a big role in the instrument's success, but that set of timbres is kind of a hard sell if what you're trying to imitate is a pipe organ... Also the whole mechanism (tone wheels that rotate in front of an electromagnetic pickup) is kind of clunky and awkward. I wonder if the attackless sustain of an organ being the desired end result was why they went with tone wheels instead of something more elegant like the mallet/pickup system in a Rhodes electric piano.

And in the context of rock music, the heavily distorted tones that came later are just so harmonically rich that it's strange they would often find themselves sharing aural space with electric guitars (which can also be incredibly harmonically dense).

Then again, I'm pretty sure people laughed at Leo Fender's ideas too.

If you want something that can sustain notes indefinitely, up until fairly recently you're limited to either the actual organ, the organistrum which is like a big hurdy gurdy, or bagpipes. Given those options, a compact if odd sounding organ seems like the least weird choice. And given the historical solutions of the organistrum/hurdy gurdy, using a wheel to generate sustained notes is a pretty logical development, the hammond organ is arguably an electric hurdy gurdy.

And sounds better than this, as neat as this is:
