A guitarist's NIGHTMARE

That's why you don't let mentally retarded guys play guitar for your band

Is that you?

Haha no... Just found this on youtube

That's a bummer, you can see the pain in his body language as his guitar is flying through the air.

Lol from his slow reaction, seems like the moment that strap broke he knew his guitar was dead

What's even more of a fail is that singer wearing socks with SANDALS

Funny how the duct tape strap didn't break...it was the strap LOCKS

Bwahaha!



Joe No-Straplok!

^This^

That guitar-go-round nonsense went out with the last of the early 90's Glamfags... or at least it should have.

5*'s for flying guitars!

And if the Singer smacks the guitarist for doing a suck ass solo.

Lmao.. The entire band deserved to be slapped

That's almost how I lost my Gibson Mach 5 bass. The strap on this sweet 5 string came free at the bottom and snapped off it's neck as it hit the concrete. No one will touch it. I keep promising myself to do it....

After that, we painted quarter sized washers with enamel paint, and installed them on every guitar and bass.

Bought that at the New Orleans Music Exchange on Magazine in '97. Now it's wall art.

Properly installed straploks don't break...it's the worn out
leather hole that sits on the straplok that fails!

Once that leather hole is worn...it makes a nice belt
to hold up your pants or to hang on the wall...not
to be trusted on your guitar.

I've never had a neck break on-stage (have knocked my guitar over & snapped the headstock) but I have had guitars fall off a few times mid-song before discovering Straploks... that's never fun.

I had a 98 les paul standard fall off the stage, and it didn't break! it was a total fluke. Had a huge 6 inch gouge in the back of the body, gave it some character, like any battle wound would. I sold that guitar to buy a 58 reissue. Still miss that standard to this day!

Wasn't onstage...just jamming.

The neck on my late hubby's Gibson Les Paul snapped mid-song onstage once. It was the strangest thing to see...it kind of just flew open.

Someone in the audience later tells him it's a common thing with those guitars. Luckily, it was repaired. Just like the fan told him...it actually WAS better after the fix. That was bizarre.

Lol. Thankfully I bought into straplocks a long time ago as well because I was afraid something like that could happen to me

Only thing that's happened to me is I was playing at this ranch with my band and my E string broke and wacked me right in the eye -- pretty much blinding me for the whole night, had to call off the gig because of it.. The rock and roll Gods can be such dicks every now and then

ONLY A FAG WOULD PLAY GUITAR

WTF YOU WANT TO SING AN DANCE AROUND FOR MONEY

PATHETIC

GET YOUR SHT TOGETHER PAL

Yeah I actually hear about Les Pauls necks cracking a lot as well.. There's uneven weight distribution, not to mention the guitar itself is way to freakin heavy.

That'd be the weirdest shit to see that on stage though.. Lol

YEAH BRO, WE'RE ALL FAGS. HOW DID YOU FIGURE THIS BIG SECRET OUT?

Gah!

The worst thing that ever happened to me was when laid down my guitar & dove off of a 6' high stage during a drum solo & slammed into the concrete floor with nothing breaking my fall... stage-diving was a big thing back then.

The crowd wasn't packed enough on the side of the stage I ran to & dove off of & I guess the ones that were there kinda shied-away from the 6'3" 220lb meat-missile that was flying towards them unexpectedly... *BWAM!* It knocked the wind outa me & I -then- still had to get back up & finish the song/set.

Ouch!

That's something I've never witnessed. I've seen fires gone wrong, and, all sorts of crazy shit (shit included) on the stage at cbgb's, but, never a failed dive.

But, it is a cool story you have. Ha! "Meat missle"

Lol... yeah, it wasn't my *finest moment* to be sure. The things you'd go back & tell the 20-yr old you not to do if you could...

That was fucking hilarious! I almost did that once, but I was smart enough to have locking strap connectors on my axe, so I just knocked myself in the head! I was drunk as fuck at the time so it didn't matter, plus we were playing death metal in that band so no one gave a fuck either way.

Idiot
