Guitar and Equipment smash

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 guitars was not working well or was a guitar which didn't feel good to play Matthew Bellamy would smash it.

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.

Matthew Bellamy usually smashes his guitar on his own or sometimes he jumps on Chris Wolstenholme's back and falls into the drum set like in Paris live at le Zénith during their Hullabaloo tour. Matthew Bellamy also takes the drum apart one by one like he did in Earl's Court in 2004. During 2001 in the Hullabaloo era alot of equipment smashing was made with champagne splashing included.
