Members Dendy Jarrett Posted May 12, 2015 Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 If this has been posted already, I apologize. Just thought you guys would "get it" when you see this. Some of it is pretty graphic and the language is "extreme" at times.

Members wankdeplank Posted May 12, 2015 Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm blaming the Hair bands for that round the horn guitar swing move. I think there was even a segment of Whitesnake in there with the fail. Course I guess it all goes back to Pete Townsend and Jimi with the guitar abuse thing. And I totally want one of those classical guitars I can play scorching leads on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gardo Posted May 13, 2015 Members Share Posted May 13, 2015 Bozos like that keep my repair business going. I charge more for stupidity Like my son's friend who left an acoustic guitar lay on his bedroom floor. You know what happened next. He came in one night and stepped right on it.,and this guy weighs about 300 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted May 13, 2015 Members Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't get into stuff like that but once I banged the headstock of my bass on the ceiling while taking it off to put it back in the case. Some years ago, there was a Country band on America's Got Talent and the vocalist/guitarist would toss his Tele into the air and catch it. I couldn't help wondering how many guitars he ruined before he got good at it. I'd post a vid but I don't recall the name of the band and I can't find one.

Phil O'Keefe Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I wonder if Rick Nielsen employs a full-time repair person, or if he charges his guitar tech for every guitar he throws to him that he doesn't catch...

[video=youtube;zdwMSONE-aw] The relevant sections are 3:15-3:25 and 4:15-4:20 Rick Nielson was on an episode of "American Pickers" last year and said he had over 750 guitars. I'm thinking he probably found it pretty easy to forgive an Oopsie by a stagehand. "Dream Police" is my all time favorite track by the band. Thanks for posting Phil!
