Guitar smashing, yay or nay?

<< < (5/22) > >>

Revenge_Therapist:
How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar,
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar,
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?

-The Who

word to that.  
looking at it from afar, yeah it makes the band look like asses when they smash their shit.  and it usually just comes off as an awful cliched stunt for a band that's lacking musically.
  but sometimes, at the end of a really intense show, it just makes SENSE.  (like at ...trail of dead shows).

jeph:
Smashing instruments is stupid.

Also Trail of Dead were pretty underwhelming when I saw them live, instrument-smashing and all. Explosions in the Sky opened for them and blew them away.

Druid:
I think it would be kind of hard to come on after Explosions in the Sky. I wouldn't want to.

siobhan:
it upsets me to see an innocent instrument smashed..

though i wonder, does the musician smash the guitar because he/she feels they need to make up for their music ? you know, end the show with an 'oompf' they couldn't provide otherwise..
