[edit] This really needs some sources
After the recent deletion of 27 Club, I feel that this could be rock trivia AFD fodder as well. Anyone want to help?--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 13:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'll say it needs sources. This article is a great example of wikiality. It erroneously claimed that the Animals and Yardbirds were smashing guitars before The Who, resulting in Parade.com parroting that false information in an article on guitar smashing. The Who began smashing guitars in 1964, before Jeff Beck even joined the Yardbirds. The only reason Jeff Beck smashed a guitar in the Yardbirds in the first place was for the film Blowup, when the director couldn't get The Who. The Animals aren't known for smashing their equipment at all, certainly not prior to The Who. The Who's guitar smashing is well-documented in various sources as beginning in September of 1964. I've added citations to verify that. It's sad when fictions originating in Wikipedia seep into the mainstream media. Clashwho 22:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oh well, at least this article is better now than it was when I first found it. More cites, less crap. Still why was the thing about Charles Mingus removed?--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:57, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] John Hiatt - Perfectly Good Guitar
John Hiatt recorded a song Perfectly Good Guitar on an album of the same name, decrying the practice and recommending that musicians treat their tools with respect. Worth noting? --Davecampbell (talk) 01:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
