Spoon is one of the best american bands.... this guy is great.

hes got rythm and soul .... no?

[InterDic1]

Yep. Cause you totally know everything about playing live.

he sang 3 x louder because of the guitar failure, seems he wanted to make up for it because he cared, that was rock!

[shelley9000]

Don't care if there were technical difficulties-Spoon is a great live band and Britt was very professional during this performance.

the rule is, if you're past the intro of the song, and you have gear issues, you suck it up, keep your composure, and finish the song. the beauty of playing live is that you can make those kinds of situations work for you, if you don't freak out. Find a new dynamic of the song, and exploit it. This shit happens. And you don't switch to a new guitar in the middle of a song if you're the singer. You do that in between songs.

thats still awesome..his guitar had an epic fail and he still went on with the song

[tromafirmer88]

that maybe true but when shit happens it better to just finish the song regardless if your guitar goes out. My hat goes off to britt.

get a guitar or put the pipe and booze down till after the show.

pathetic

this was a huge festival. while it still shouldnt happen, this kinds of stuff happens all the time at festivals due to a lack of sufficient set-up time, etc. This is the reason why many bands dislike playing huge festivals like this, because lots of stuff can go wrong. Don't blame the band though. They played very well through it.

i wonder what you'll do if that happened to you. prolly cry and call for your mommy

[littlerockdon23]

great song. it's time to get professional. that is something that shouldn't happen. get a backup guitar.
