Top 3 Guitar Smashers
Friday, November 7th, 2008
After reading ALHP’s post about the fake guitar smasher I thought it would be appropriate to offer all the budding guitar smashers who might read this site some help so they don’t make a fool of themselves like the joker in Weave. So I offer my top 3 guitar smashers of all time. It would serve you well to do your research and learn from the best. Now, the list:
1. Pete Townsend - The Who: This guy was smashing guitars when he couldn’t afford to smash guitars. So then he would ask his friends to “borrow” their equipment and promise that he wouldn’t smash their stuff. Of course he smashed the fuck out of it. The God of guitar smashing.
2. Jimi Hendrix: Who can forget his 67 Monterey Pop Festival performance where he not only smashed the shit out of his guitar but lit it on fire and performed felatio on the damn thing. My private parts still tingle when I watch it.
3. Sid Vicious: The true mark of an artist is the ability to learn from art history but move the field forward. Sid Vicious was such an artist. He wouldn’t waste time smashing a guitar on stage. He loved to smash his guitar on your fucking melon. Then he would spit on you and kick you in the crotch. Yes indeed Sid, it is better to burn-out than fade away.
