smashing the guitars just isnt cool

[interlinkknight]

@DeepestBlueJ I suppose the same could be say about smashing cars, but many people still do it all the time for safety test, publicity or just entertainment. You just need to accept it.

By me, if it doesn’t have any historic value, I really don’t care what you do with your property. USA is not communist.

[Gareann]

@interlinkknight People who find smashing cars entertaining, and furthermore people who find destruction entertaining have a real problem ^^

Great guy to the doublebass !

[interlinkknight]

@Gareann More important: people that think they have a say for other people property have a real problem.

And if is about destruction in general, you have to be kidding me. People in general love destruction for enterteiment. Look the popularity of mythsbusters (just to give you an example).

Anyway, we just need to agree to disagree. Is just taste

@interlinkknight it's not a matter of communism or whatever. It's the act of breaking without any apparent reason something which was built by someone through hard work and has a value, that's what disturbs me. It's more or less like wasting food, do you have the same mind about that as well? Sure everyone can do anything he/she wants with his/her property. But this won't prevent me from thinking that some actions are more stupid than others.

[interlinkknight]

@BlackLight011986 I understand what you mean. In a way I also think the same, but also don't care. The communism part is when people say "they could give me that guitar", reflecting other's property in themselves

Wasting something with value is stupid? In a way yes, but almost all people do it with things like food

Also, I am sure that guitars where donated especially by the manufacturers so they show them in the show for publicity. That has a lot more value that the guitars itself

[animal03181989]

Am I the only one who thinks that breaking a guitar is actually a stupid thing to do and such a tragic waste?

[animal03181989]

@interlinkknight I dont care if he is poor or rich up the ass. Its not about money, put all that stuff aside (Fame, person, money) I doubt you will or can (no offense) seeing as how the arguement you put forth was about money and possesion, and you can see that its simply about destroying a very useful, durable, and priceless object (to some) which like I said, puting everything ELSE aside, is a very stupid thing to do and a tragic waste. A useful object isn't made to be purposely destroyed ^^

Jesus Christ monkey balls.

[joak1073]

Why does Rob have tape on two of the knobs on his bass?

[Noahshollow]

Lars Ulrich is such a douche. He cant even play drums.

[sirmarkthomas]

Very cool. Although, a snare drum is a percussive instrument not because of it's tonal qualities but because it is struck. That is why a piano is a percussion instrument.

[poshi12]

Thats why metallica made an album with luo read
