JOE THE X-KID Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I thought the Les Paul sounded like shit, the tele had a much better tone. But still I wouldn't smash it but I'm not a millionaire sooo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven93 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 For fuck sake .... Stop overanalysing it .... He threw the guitar down because he can Did he go on a full mouth rant before throwing it down ..... No ? Did he do it because he is acting like a kid .... No He did it because he CAN do it and has like 345 (I think) guitars and he has destoryed perfectly good guiatrs before (even before iHeartRadio) Do you whine everytime when Pete from The Who smashes his guitars ? Ps. Mike or Tré could accidentally fall on stage and on here there would be a thread claiming he is drunk or something Stop analysing everything they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLund96 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 That was a borrowed guitar? I thought it was just one of his many LP Specials. Yeah, it was borrowed from some guitar shop in Cleveland 'cause it was kind of late they got to know that they were playing, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacknovella Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Personally I can't wait until the iHeart thing is more or less forgotten, just so we can stop as a fanbase questioning Billie's condition every time he frowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonflower93 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 just a question; are the guitars jason and billie are playing in this video are recent at gd shows? it's the first time i noticed them. The guitar Jason has in this video has been around for like 10 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 What really annoyed me was people deciding he was drunk and had gone nuts and smashed a guitar, so he HAD to use the Telecaster. Never mind that he started the show with the Telecaster or anything. As though he wouldn't have at least 5 guitars with him at a festival. The over-analysis is painful, can you imagine this kind of talk on a board for The Who, or Hendrix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcasm Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 ah, back to the roots. Strange that he did it during one of the happiest songs I know, but it looks like a string was slightly out of tune.That roadie won't be sitting for a week after Billie punishes him.

Disapperingirl Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 As others said it wasn't the first time he did something like that, and I just thought it fits with his quote "Attack your instruments. Don’t let them attack you." It got all this attention just because people saw it as an echo of the iHeart radio thing...But hey, until he's got the money to buy more guitars, I guess he can do whatever he wants with his instruments and act as a childish rockstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 First of all, smashing a guitar doesn't make you punk. Just doing it because you couldn't give a fuck less makes it punk, because they don't need your approval, man. Secondly, it's now becoming survival of the fittest in his guitar collection isn't it? Of course someone's gonna say he's drunk and shit, but Billie's just doing the fuck he likes, because why not? Though disturbingly, have you noticed we've never seen him destroying a lot of those he names? It looks like the ones he names are the ones he seems precious and worth keeping. One out of tune guitar and it's dead. We never even got its name, but I will always remember you, shiny black Les Paul thrown off the stage. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieces of Truth Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Man I hate when people smash their guitars.I'd kill to have one like him because mine is, compared to his, sure as hell a piece o' crap.Just give it to me or someone else who can't afford it you fucking ungrateful moron SO SPOILED He could have tossed it into the audience for a lucky fan to have. Give or take a concussion or two.Owning a guitar from Billie Joe would totally be worth the concussion. I wouldn't complain if I got hit by that guitar and get to keep it, under the condition it's still intact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She is Amanda Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 That was a borrowed guitar? I thought it was just one of his many LP Specials. yes, Green Day wasn't scheduled to play that night but they did. The sound manager of the Rock and Roll hall of fame went to guitar center and borrowed the guitar. Billie ended up smashing that one so the sound manager couldn't return it, instead he had the band sign the guitar and he sold it on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeslek Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 actually he didn't smash it he just threw it away. exactly but you could clearly hear it fuckin up so it was probably more annoyance than rock star cliche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhTheGuilt. Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It's cool and all but instead of broke It cause It's out of tune why don't give It to a fan? It was a Gibson, goddamit.
