I love to see people destroy thier instruments. It looks cool and its not like it cant be replaced. But I think Kurt did it better.

It's a tax write off at least. I still think anyone over the age of 25 doing that looks pretty stupid. Pretending to be the angry young man in your 40's is embarassing. Yes...even the eternally angry Townsend looks ridiculous doing it.

John Hiatt said it best in his song "Perfectly Good Guitar"

There out to be a law with no bail
Smash a guitar and you go to jail
With no chance for early parole
You dont get out tIll you get some soul

Chorus:
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
Smashing a perfectly good guitar
I dont know who they think they are
Smashing a perfectly good guitar

It's his guitar--he can do what he wants with it, but I wouldn't do it.

I don't get into "destruction as art"

I dunno...rock has always been about attitude. If Mick Jagger came onstage in '06 acting like a 65-year-old man instead of strutting around like the cock-of-the-walk, I don't think the Stones would have had the top-grossing tour of the year. Ya gots to give the punters what they wants ta see, or you'll be old news. Look how quickly Springsteen became an ex-Boss when his famously manic stage shows became one-man accoustic tours. Same Bruce, same quality songwriting...but it wasn't what his fans wanted to see. "Mak shau" and all that.

He did a guitar switch, I dont think any serious guitar player would smash up their main guitar there is usually a bond there that would stop that... but he was putting on a show and thats what the auidence paid for so that is a good thing I think :D

Meh. He switched pieces at the beginning. Probably ruined one of those Chinese knockoffs we laugh at.


That's pretty much what Ritchie Blackmore always did ... handed off his real Fender for some el-cheapo copy and then proceeded to turn it into kindling.
