My first time throwing a guitar, I'm usually pretty gentle with 'em.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 08.21.2007, 02:01 AM

Heh. I don't think I'd ever throw my guitar. Unless it was one of my cheap ones.

I like the slow mo and fast mo.

king_buzzo · 08.21.2007, 04:57 AM

jico. · 08.21.2007, 05:03 AM

haha, I hate when anger causes guitar throwage.
A friend of mine insulted me once when we were jamming and I was about to hit him across the head with the guitar, but decided it was a bad idea so I dropped my guitar on the cement floor and used my guitar case.

Im sorry, but that is a poor attempt at a strop. If youre gonna throw the toys out of the pram, go the full shebang!

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 08.21.2007, 07:11 PM

I've throw guitars in the past. I've steped on them, knocked them over, droped things on them. They are still fine. I've never throw one on concrete though.

ExLionTamer · 08.21.2007, 09:16 PM

That was a drop.

CHOUT · 08.21.2007, 10:38 PM

Sure I didn't chuck it 20 feet but it was a throw. It was spontaneous, I'll try and do an more impressive throw next time I'm absolutely pissed on stage.

you must destroy the guitar! . .. the harder the floor the better! .. . if the guitar breaks . . .good! . . . however it must be witnessed . . . and it must be honest! . . . the more expensive the guitar the better! . . .

totaltrassh · 08.22.2007, 11:28 PM

i hate it when people destroy guitars........shhit you know how many people whised they had a guitar like me...give it away dont destroy it.

O_O

gmku · 08.22.2007, 11:39 PM

Were you pissed at the guitar? Or at something else?

Get a grip. Remember, 99 percent of life is how we react to what happens. Or something like that.

pbradley · 08.22.2007, 11:45 PM

there's nothing wrong with a little Who-esque guitar smashry every so often, just make sure ain't breaking the thing

CHOUT · 08.23.2007, 12:26 AM

Naah, I'm really good to my guitars...If I was playing one of my nicer guitars, I wouldn't throw it.

Shit happens, y'know? That's the great thing about playing music - you can get caught in the moment, good or bad.

My friends' band has gotten in the habit into smashing shit nearly every show...

vulva · 08.23.2007, 01:02 AM

rich band

CHOUT · 08.23.2007, 01:14 AM

Here's one of their guitars after a show:

nicfit · 08.23.2007, 02:37 AM

I could never "throw" a bass/guitar even if I was pissed... but maybe that's my opinion just becuz I don't have enough money to spend on "replacements" every once in a while...and I actually own two basses,so, yeah, smashing one of them would be destrying half my collection ha ha... your reaction seemed just about the right amount of anger+frustration to me, not too violent, no need to smash things to express your feelings, especially as long as "things" are nice instruments (even not that nice). That said, it's a nice little vid.
