The Joy Formidable Guitar Smash Reading 2010 side of stage

[RockUrSocksOff123]

Why didn't she do this when I saw them play at Verizon Center in Washington D.C. I guess she didn't want to have a better show than foo fighters since Joy Formidable were the opening act

I have not seen anyone smash their gear in a very long time. Either i'm not listening to the right music, or my generation sucks. I've been to a lot of shows.

You do guys realize that Nirvana is not the only band who smashed guitars? Nobody said to Kurt that he copied off hendrix or someone else cause everybody did that and played with feedback. I first heard this band on lollapalooza today and I think they are good, most of the bands there are shit...

I think it was crap when Pete Townshend did it back in the day. Hendrix - weeel, okay at least he did iut with real style.

So yeah Ritzy - I think its a stupid cliche too. You are not bored frustrated and angry I dont think. Rock and Roll should be theatre sure, but how about some new tricks?

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

@fatgraphics I don't think it's a trick, I think she felt like smashing her guitar. It's hers to play how she likes

[DeafEyeChicago]

You guys complaining about smashing a guitar? You're boring. She knows how much she spent on the thing, okay? So did The Who, so did Nirvana, so did everyone else that's done it. It's a classic symbol of punk rock attitude. About not giving a shit. About raw energy and entertainment. If you don't get it, then don't worry about it.

@DeafEyeChicago PS: It looks like a Squier Strat. 100 bucks tops. I guarantee it wasn't a big loss.

[DGENERATE07]

@DeafEyeChicago so right, who are all these sad bastards complaining? xD

[MrSuperMarijuana]

lol and i can't get 500 euros to buy me some fine guitar, and she destroys guitars, i would broke her legs if i seen her on the street!!

[guitaristsd]

What a waste of a fine instrument. BOO! It's cliche, it's stupid and it's ridiculous to see a perfectly good instrument destroyed. Pathetic. Really.

[elagujeronegro97]

@guitaristsd agreed

[GetYourJoshOut]

Throwing fail. Haha.

[BluesRockGuitarist]

did she have to guitars plugged in, 1 smashed 1 not?

[NeverQuitChocolate]
