I kinda liked it, it was that continuous "Carlos-Santana-sustain-on-the-brink-of-feedback". Yes, if you did nothing and let a low note ring, it would gradually morph into a drone, but nothing uncontrollable. I played it in a Brit Pop band with two guitars for a while, we weren't a thrash metal band by any means, but the guitarists preferred that blurry "Oasis-Wall-of-Open-Chord-Rhythm-Guitar-Sound", so it wasn't exactly quiet.
With today's amps pumping out volume over comparativley small speaker cone areas it's probably less an issue than if you stood before an Ampeg 8x10" fridge with its "sea of sound".
