As far as is known, Matthew Bellamy used this guitar during the French TV show Nulle Part Ailleurs in May 2000. They played Showbiz and at the end of the song, he threw the guitar and amplifier away into the sand, in the background of the set. The guitar was again used a few days later, on the 25th of that month during the gig at Le Summum, Grenoble, France. At the end of the set, he threw the guitar at an amplifier, which destroyed it. The spinning hypno-disc pictured below was collected by a French fan who attended the gig, in the first row.
