Cool track, but I've never understood the whole concept of damaging equipment…what is the point ? wanna really inpress me, toss the equipment out to the fans…let them put it to some use.
Really?? My, times have changed…
It's a long-standing tradition (see: Hendrix, Townsend, Cobain, Reznor, etc.). Acts used to get loads of cheap equipment solely for the purpose of destroying it on tour, and often had to repair/replace amps after every show.
Man, rock & roll really is dead.
The Who used to have fake gear that they used just for smashing up, speakers that were for show that they could kick over, etc.
The Who used to have gear that was basically just for show, speakers that looked cool but were empty and for kicking over, etc.
so because they did it, it's right ? maybe it's just I have ALWAYS respected my gear.
NIN did this a lot too. Reznor used pretty inexpensive Dean Evo Noir guitars that ended up flying across stage, but were sold later for charity, I believe. Also, various keyboardists used lots of cheap midi controllers so actual synths were never touched when shit gets smashed.
It is part of the show! If you're spending money on lights, or pyrotechnics, why not pick up some cheap/dummy gear too?
