Guitar smashing, yay or nay?
Vanilla Gorilla:
nay. after seeing townshend and cobain do it, theres no point
valley_parade:
Acceptable. Under conditions of absolute techinical difficulty. Otherwise, quit being lame and just play.
edit: There was a story in Guitar Player a while back about the Hard Rock Cafe opening in NYC with the smashing of 100 Gibsons. I think they called it "the biggest frigging waste of expensive gear ever".
E. Spaceman:
I don't generally approve of completely smashing the thing, but some less extreme methods can be quite good. Stabbing them with screwdrivers, dragging them across the floor, kicking the shit out of them and drilling through them are all perfectly fine gestures.

Man it'd be hilarious to see all the twee/indie-pop bands i like smashing their cheap toy instruments. Take that, xylophone! Die, thing you blow into that also has a keyboard on it that i can never remember the name of!

But smashing an accordian...

As for guitar smashing, NO! Strange as it is, I think smashing instruments is pretentious, because you're basically rubbing people's noses in your expendable income. It isn't cool and nobody's cool enough to do it. Worse yet, it's less cool than used to be, because it's so over-done. I saw some music video once with some crap band like Creed or Avril Lavigne and at the end of the video someone smashed a fucking PRS! I could have died right there, bunch of idiots.
