This is probably one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Sure maybe it's supposed to symbolize death but I could give that piano new life in my house and get rid of my digital I've been playing on for years.....

[rbuettner100]

Ok whatever so he can play a piano while its on fire, I want to him do the same thing while hes playing a guitar. or start a fire inside of a flute then play it.lol

[hagarshuggi]

The piano, comes to life through its music, a vessel, as we are. It too withers away with time, impermanence, vulnerable to ...It's about watching something unbearable, a force greater than ourselves taking over...to be reckoned with. It's indirectly experiencing the inevitable what we'll all succumb to one day. Ahhhhh! DEATH.

[hagarshuggi]

Imagine a brilliant man, someone you love, dying slowly, parts of himself no longer able to sing the same tune. The slow and painful process of watching it taking over. Something/Someone once easily recognizable, anticipated, now only dim memories melting away.

[hagarshuggi]

Burning something that has the capacity for creating both ugly and beautiful sounds, landscapes of emotion, burning something that involves tedious craftsmanship, as a work of art, destroying it slowly makes me focus on how monumental the piano is, and not just the piano, but I now see parallels to my grandfather's recent passing, and death in general. 

[hagarshuggi]

Comment revisited: First, I love trees, and this is painful. Second, I would've honored the piano with a more fateful tune, especially if hearing the notes melting would have added to the whole effect. And here is my more philosophical illumination, which some might term bullshit.

[ausrus]

Now she is a little boy in Spain playing pianos filled with flames

[BasdK95]

Aha: expanded piano techniques is what they call this, isn't it. Don't like the sound but it is funny.

[lukasz]

this is disappointing that peoples need for originality has devolved into destroying perfectly working pianos. sad indeed. I do admit its pretty sweet, but don't commend the means to the ends.

[hagarshuggi]

This man has dedicated his life to the piano, he has a right to burn a few if he chooses, just as hendrix could burn guitars. If some smuck that sucked at playing burned one, the I'd call foul.

[lukasz]

I don't care who he is, its an objective statement, not subjective opinion. burning pianos is stupid, sorry.

[rhinosdabom]

@Lukasz u SUCK! i agree with hagarshuggi both comments; it was going to waste and he dedicated his life to playing piano u FAG!

[lukasz]

@rhinosdabom point and case. you've obviously just proven me wrong with your immense intelligence, I succumb.

[rhinosdabom]

@lukasz umm thanks?...

[kanashi0ame]

Poor piano....TT^TT that's so sad...how could he do such a thing....U__U

[Malaka57]

A lot more was lost in senseless wars.

(Or to quote Hungarians, a lot more was lost at Mohàcs)

[Falcofan22]

Although I think it's such a waste and stupid of a perfect piano, he's got guts.

[gabydragona]

I want the entire video!!!! Where is it?

[Shinoshi04]

Such poor taste. What kind of musician would destroy an instrument for no reason, what exactly was he trying to accomplish? According to the video this has been done more than once. So he buys a piano worth thousands, just to play it once then burn it, such a waste of money and talent. It's disgusting to watch this immense amount stupidity and madness.

[figarofirst]

Only this type of reaction supports his action strongly! Thanks a lot-----a Yousuke fan.

[hagarshuggi]

The piano was already going to waste in a warehouse with dozens of more unwanted pianos. He gave it one last bright shining moment.

[YehiamYam]

first of all, he just burn a 15,000$ piece of art, and second of all, he might have problems .

[yougotcrad1]

fags hate free jazz

[epar100]

este tio no es ningun artista!!

[doronkorecords]

@epar100

y tu idiota !!!!!

[dlite922]

I wanna shoot this guy in the head. with a shot gun. How the hell does he make money? This is not art, this is madness!

(don't even think about making a 300 sparta joke)

[JonPL]

THIS! IS! BEING CLOSEMINDED!

[dlite922]

Sorry, this is 7 months from now. I take back my comment about shooting the guy.

I still think it's pretty stupid but....different.

At least he's taking precautions, unlike "Jackass"

[HelioNVJunior]
