What a fucking weirdo for smashing a guitar with a hammer

[–] [email protected] 175 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Without a doubt the dorkiest way to smash a guitar.

[–] FlyingSquid 105 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I can't think of a less rock and roll way to destroy a guitar.

Knife and fork

[–] FlyingSquid 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Okay, you have a point, but still... if you're going to smash a guitar and you don't go all The Who on it, what's even the point?

Kabong!

Boomerang was just shut down this week. RIP

That only works with acoustics. Electrics don't go KABONG!

See at first I was with you but then again these things work in cycles. I think by the time you get to knife and fork it turns into art again.

[–] Aqarius 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, if you just smash it, it's about the smashing, when you use a tool, the focus shifts to the tool, and a regular shop hammer is just... bland in a way a knife and fork aren't.

[–] TheLowestStone 3 points 2 months ago

Depends. Do they eat it?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

A smaller hammer

[–] paraphrand 5 points 2 months ago

True.

He looks old enough to remember them bands from the 60s and 70s, now THEY knew how to smash a guitar (it has been too long and I am not looking up which band(s) did it hehe)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The Who

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, who was the band?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I don't think The Band was ever known for smashing instruments.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, who was the band known for smashing instruments?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't think Yes was either...

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 1 points 2 months ago

Could you Guess Who it was?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

THANK YOU!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ahh, how shall I do it? Oh, I know!

I'll have Taylor Swift sign a guitar, a harmless little guitar! And then, I'll put that guitar in a box, and then I'll put that box inside of another box, then I'll auction that box to myself and when I win it...

AHAHA! I'LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!

It's brilliant brilliant brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!

Or, to save on postage, I could poison myself WITH THIS!"

I thought Republicans had angry down. This guy can't even do angry right.
