Now that's funny. Thanks!

One time Hendrix complained to his manager about all the stupid stuff he was expected to do on stage. Stick out his tounge, dance around, play the guitar behind his head, and then smash it. The manager said, fine if you don't want to do that stuff, don't. The next show Jimi just stood behind the mic, sang and play his guitar. The manager said that that was the best live show he'd ever seen.

Then i foudn out they were famous. I didn't like them cuz they were famous, i liked their music. If you don't like them, that's fine with me. And i don't like all chart yoping records. I HATE GREENDAY!!! and they were chart topping.... and i couldn't care what the guys look like, only if they can make good music. Sure, i'm not gonna see them in concert if they look terrible, but listen to them? Sure, it's music, not a DVD.

glad we have differences, otherwise the world would be boring. lets drop this crap now.
thanks dude

Why is it that you're even involved in the discussion when you obviously have no clue as to what you're talking about yoyo? You probably first heard of linkin' park when you were 12 (which probably was a couple of years ago). If you eve listen to xm radio, check out channel 48 and every single song sounds similar to the other (the same kind of sound, lyrics and guitar playing), can you honestly believe that those guys have somehow invented some sort of new paradigm with regard to music?
I've never liked their music just because it has no meaning whatsoever, especially when they have to break their instruments just for kicks.

i know exactly what i'm talking about. and btw, i only just discovered linkin park, about 6 months ago, so no, i didn't lsiten to them when i was 12. and there songs are very different, they all have the linkin park sound to them, but they're different. if you thnk they sound the same, then you should say the same for unearth, metallica, megadeth etc. they're RAPCORE that's why there songs have RAP in them and sound similar. same for metal! [no duh]. same as screamo, they all sound the same.....

Wow.... so that's who started all this guitar smashing!!!! Amazing, I learned something new today!

I just knew there was a reason I liked YJM! BTW, who's Pete Townsend?

is there any chance it could have been an Ed Roman or a chibanez?

[Davey]

I'd like to smash him on stage instead.

Okay, a Chibanez I could see smashing on stage, but how the hell would he be able to play it first??

[jb4674]

He'd probably lay it flat on his belly

Pete Townsend is an undercover pedophile who played gutiar in the 60s and 70s

That link kicked ass, but could someone explain why Hammett drilling a guitar is cool. I know there are alot of people that make excuses for the lame stuff metallica does, so maybe one of them could explain that.

Yawn.

I don't see how smashing a guitar is copying anybody who's done it before. I mean whats next? saying one performer copied another cos he threw picks in the crowd?
I guess it is copying in a way but its not blatantly obvious i.e setting a guitar on fire.
lol its rock n roll, im sure nobody smashes their guitars cos blackmore did it :P

Well, it's not only that, Blackmore was scalloping all the frets on his Strats, he got into the sort of Neo-Renaissance style of dress, was a super fast arpeggio player, got involved with fusing classical music with rock guitar, is an obnoxious brat, tends to get chubby when he's not careful....... need I go any further......? Oh,yeah and his main choice of guitars was early seventies Olympic White Strats...... any of that sound familiar?

As for your last sentence, I really, really don't care one way or the other about YJM, really seriously not, and yes, he's technically a superb player, but he sure has watched a lot of Deep Purple videos in his formative years!

It's just that the gear trashing thing is just so ....... tired ........

That's a bit nasty Cid, how about "Townsend is one of the most significant songwriters and guitarists of the British rock scene...."

Ahh, that's better.

Townsend was victimised, like several other British acts who were also coincidentally loudly critical of the then British Government - strange things were found on their computers, very odd, and impossible to deny.

I've heard that story - evidently, when he just laid back and played, he was so good it was scary. Of course, the fans complained, so he was back to the circus act by the next show...
