Guitar smashing, yay or nay?
Tartar Martyr:
It is stupid and cliche.
There are no exceptions.
To me it goes in the same chapter of "what not to do when playing live" as synchronized jumping and over animated strumming. If you want to call attention to yourself or to your band learn to play... or buy a delay pedal that will self-oscillate so you can make space ship noises, at least then you won't look like a douchebag when you try to attract people who have never touched an instrument before and thus are impressed by such things.
kikanjuuneko:
It's okay only, and only, if the guitar is already at a visible point of breaking through overuse.
Simulacra:
i agree with jeph and tartar. one should only smash an instrument if said smashing occurs over the head of one's enemies.
Inlander:
You know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see someone, at the end of a gig, dismantling the guitar. Get the toolkit out, remove all the bits and pieces that can possibly be removed, line them up across the stage in a neat, orderly row from largest to smallest, then walk off.
Sure, it'd take a while, but it'd be different! And then when everyone's gone home the guitar can be put back together again, good as new.
Empty Friend:
I love watching idiot douchebag pop-punk morons smash guitars they didn't pay for and that will be replaced by their label. It totally rocks.
