Muse are a band that make use of guitar and equipment smash, especially in their early days. Matthew Bellamy explains in a interview in Japan [1] that the reason for guitar smashing is either bad concerts where they experience "negative energy" or sometimes just for fun. Or also sometimes if the guitar was not working properly or if it was a guitar which didn't feel good to play Matt Bellamy would smash it.
Matt has the world record at breaking guitars, he smashed 140 guitars at the Absolution tour 2004.
Ibanez guitars are always smashed or thrown into the crowd. So if you see an Ibanez guitar during a Muse concert you will know it's shouting for help.
