GUITAR DESTRUCTION STORIES!!

[GearJunkie]

oh, i get it. so you have to throw a squire strat at a cement wall in order for it to stay in tune? I'll try that when I get home.

That's right kids. I had a guitar broken over my face. The pickups hit right dead center, nose & eyes. Messed me up pretty well. I was at a party and some dudes came in looking to trash somebody for some reason, and they thought I was with him. I had no idea who the guy even was. 3 guys held me down, and a 4th grabbed a guitar that was at the place, and proceeded to smash it over my face. Never saw them before, never saw them since. Never went partying with those dudes again, either!

That sounds more like a face destruction story to me. Still pretty rock'n'roll though.

i was borrowing my brother-in-law's musicman bass and fell on stage and the output jack shorted out.
so i borrowed somebody's active jazz bass copy but the battery was dead. i handed it back to him and he did something and gave it back but i dropped it on the stage and broke his tuner off. that show blew.

Got any scars? I'm jealous.

I dont think i've ever broken a guitar.

I've broken a bunch of synths though. I have some great pictures of an Amiga 500 and a Casio personal keyboard on fire in my mom's backyard.

And i once in a, uh, drug haze, smashed a DX7 into a brick wall.

Many of the Emo/Hard Core kids are doing that these days.

You guys are so 8.5 moths ago. It's all fashon punks now and the notebooks are smeared with eye makeup and filled with pictures of themselves.
