Out in New York on holiday at the moment. Obviously, had to visit Hard Rock Cafe. Look what I found. Torn between, wow rock and roll and what an idiot

At least it's behind glass....

When HRC had Gilmour's Black Strat they left it unsecured. Needless to say it wasn't in a good state when Gilmour asked for it back.

I'd say idiot. Trashing guitars had become passé long before The Linkin Park chaps where born!

Send it to PTC!

Meh, I don't know why everyone gets bent outta shape about a smashed guitar. It's only rock n roll.
That being said, it can't be the staged, fake BS. Gotta be the real deal energy of the show moment. I've played shows that were awesome, ended with a bang and I certainly felt it in me to take it out on my guitar. It's a primal thing when it's genuine. You know... emotion...like music should have. That being said, I've never smashed a guitar. I can't afford it. A nice rule would be, if you smash a guitar, you must donate one to charity for kids who can't afford one.

Holy crap!! I agree. Difficult to look at a guitar where somebody has swiped the bridge.... Blasphemy!!!

That is so sick! I saw LP in Sacramento first middle box seats and it changed my life. I love that band, very lucky to have that broken guitar.

Yup, broken axes don't do it for me anymore, but "Its only ROCK and ROLL, BUT I like it"...HRCs swap stuff every 5 years or so, so it will travel the world...I guess kind neat story about numerous repairs...

Yeah, I've never even gotten as far as the feeling. I don't see classically trained orchestral players smashing their instruments. I just don't "get it".

I smashed a few Strats (cheapo copies of course) onstage back in the day. While indeed it has to be **genuine**, IMO it also has to have musical content. A band is playing, and in a moment a guitar is in a heap? No good.

Best guitar smasher ever has to be Blackmore. Theatrical, musical.... AND genuine. And it fit the music perfectly, both with Purple nd early Rainbow.
