Lets face it. What we really want is to see musicians smashing people on stage and this is just a stage in the evolution of that.

well, after playing something really intense you want to continue it with something more intense. smashing the shit out of something ranks right up there.

personally i think bands should cart around highly breakable yet very resiliant fine artifacts to destroy.

In their early days, Bloodhound Gang - and they told me this personally - used to just carry around garbage and smash that up instead.

Have you ever been pelted with a drumstick? That shit is painful.
No, I throw them.  :-P 
But I know what you mean.

Smashing your guitar is only cool if you are Pete Townshend and it is the 1960's.

Pelted? No. But my skill on the drumset is such that I have hit myself both in the face and on the leg with drumsticks while trying to play, and that is quite painful, so I can imagine that what you say is true.

Nay to smashing. What I would really like to see is someone who sets their guitar on fire and then KEEPS ON PLAYING. Now that would be cool. Asbestos gloves would probably be a must though, which might make soloing a tad harder...

No, they would just play with their teeth.

As for the smashing: nay.  Give your shit to me instead.

Where have you been? Beck did that in a video in 1994 - as well as onstage regularly beforehand, I think - and I'm pretty sure Hendrix did it in the 60s.

You see, I have not seen it. Also, I think Hendrix only set his guitar on fire when he was finished playing. If someone could link me that Beck video though, I will be eternally grateful...
