A guy in the year above me at school had a metal band and he was the bassist. At the end of their set for a local Battle of the Bands he raised his Epiphone Thunderbird over his head and smashed it into the stage sending the neck flying off the body. His band didn't win.

Thats pretty metal no?

Smashing the bass is Rock and Roll. If the neck impaled someone, that would be metal.;)

No. That`s stupid. Being bass-less is not metal.
