Smash-up

I was listening to some Daltrey solo stuff earlier ... which led me to remember The Who in live gigs ... early days 

Just wondering if anyone on the tFB has ever trashed/smashed their gear after a gig?

Not smashed up, no, but in a pique of rock and roll in my younger days I've certainly thrown gear around in a Hendrixian noise mess. Mainly my strats as they are frankly indestructible.

I did have one guitar that I bought for a tenner from a car boot specifically for stunt damage ... that got thrown a lot more violently ... and I walked into the sea with it.

I have never smashed a guitar in anger, however I did torture my first to slow death with attempted modding that I was incapable of.

Not intentionally

I recall playing a gig in one of those arched cellar ventures with a low ceiling. I did the raising the guitar to thank the crowd thing else forgetting that I'm tall and the ceiling was very low where I was standing. That took a nice chunk out of the headstock. That's about as far as I've ever gone in terms of damaging gear at the end of a set. Not very rock and roll

Hell no. However, I did stupidly trade in a super-rare and excellent Epiphone Del Rey at the local shop, and the guy who bought it played it on stage at the town's summer festival...and smashed it up on stage.

I almost punched him in the face when he came off stage.
