duane v Posted Monday at 09:30 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:30 PM Wow Could have donated that money at a local high school for kids in musical programs. Money for the people caught up in the recent hurricane. Or kids fighting cancer. Not at all impressed with full grown adults with that kind of behavior. Kinda infantile if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted Monday at 10:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:06 PM C'mon now, fellows. He may be a perfectly serene fellow, and not at all consumed by hatred. I mean, he could just be bat-s#1t crazy. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil OKeefe Posted Monday at 10:14 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:14 PM Personally, I've never been a fan of intentionally destroying/breaking guitars, no matter who is doing it, the value of the guitar, or the reasons for them doing it. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted Monday at 10:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:17 PM No Sparky, I'm afraid not. To drop 4K so you can be filmed busting up a guitar requires some level of self absorbed rationality. The guy is a hateful d1ck that everyone on his block dislikes, all of his coworkers can't stand to work with, and all of his kids probably don't even talk to him any more. A special kind of ahole that hates successful girls that should be barefoot and pregnant. Hopefully the physicality of beating up the guitar will hasten his demise. Like, tomorrow would be good. rct 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbasher Posted Monday at 10:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:32 PM (edited) The money he spent did go to a non-profit org. So, not a total waste. But, he could have re-donated the instrument. Edited Monday at 10:37 PM by gearbasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted Tuesday at 11:03 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:03 AM Seriously though. My belief is that the guy is certifiably-insane. The premise of his expensive ‘protest’ is absurdly insane. His actions defy all reason. And the outcome of his little hissy fit will be that life goes on, a pop star will continue to sell out large venues for top dollar, and this mentally-disturbed man will be out $4,000. If he were to have poured gasoline over himself a lit a match the way that Vietnamese Buddhist monk did on a busy Saigon street did 61 years ago, It would have made just about as much sense. Only nobody will have won a World Press Photo of the Year prize for filming him and putting his insanity on Facebook and youTube. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted Tuesday at 12:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:53 PM Proof that there is no correlation between money and common sense. Hope his wife took a hammer to his $4K mounted Big Horn Sheep in his den. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted Tuesday at 01:23 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 01:23 PM (edited) How many thousands of dollars worth of guitars did Mr. Townsend break? And people wanted to see him do it. I recall footage of Jimi burning a Strat. All 4 times I saw Kiss Paul broke a guitar on purpose at the end of the show. But that’s all showmanship huh? And I believe the 4k went to a charity. The guitar obviously didn’t survive. Edited Tuesday at 01:31 PM by Sgt. Pepper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbluesplayer Posted Tuesday at 02:13 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:13 PM This place is a dump. We need to install a curtain wall and put some drains around the whole place. Cap it off and pipe the effluent to Sgt Pepper so he can recycle it into Forum posts. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really cannot reply to that, for fear of posting something which is pretty much a banning offense on most guitar web forums. I know, I have been tossed from more than a few. 😕 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
