Sign in to disble this ad
I was just thinking about people smashing their instruments of stage and just how funny it can be. This is probably a less known one but none the less funny. Yngwie Malmsteen smashing up a strat on stage in the G3 gig, you actually see him giving his special one (scalloped fret board etc) to his tech guy and then he gets some unbranded one out and smashes it  There is probably loads of incidences of funny 'smashings' |

at the end of this one.
Edit: Oh crap, I forgot which vid.
On the Killswitch Engage concert
Basically he used an axe to smash his guitar.

On Smothers Brothers, Pete Townshend smashed his guitar, then the host came on stage with his own guitar, and Pete smashed that one too. |

|  | That's the way uh huh uh huh I like it.. | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Robbinsville, NJ | | | I remember a real a-hole drummer violently kicking over the drums and symbols at the end of his band's set, made a real show out of it and a hell of a racket, then just walks off stage. Total Keith Moon wannabe.
Problem is, the drums actually belonged to the drummer of the last band on that night who was nice enough to let 3 other bands use them.... oops. Someone hopefully got their *ss kicked later.

He repeated these action multiple times, but the guitar stayed intact. The audience started chanting "wussy, wussy" (well, not quite that word, can't write the actual one) until it finally broke. |

I thought the bass body would hit him square on the head or something. Now THAT will be STUPID!

funny guy

I guess he had been having rig problems all night, and finally just gives up and throws a tantrum. He just looks like a five year old leaning against his cabs like that.
I understand Cedric saying what he did and getting off stage, though. |

The whole rest of the "show" he was playing a [terribly neck diving] signature thunderbird.
Oh yeah, Nikki Sixx.
