Haha, i found this article hilarious, which is an e-mail from Townshend to Rolling Stone about the Rock Honors, and how he wanted to smash at half a million rock band guitars on the show!

Back when they were young, they smashed expensive amps, speakers, guitars, drums, etc.. I think awesome habits die hard.

I love how he wants to smash technology. If I could afford it, I would too.

And don't worry Pete. We all want to smash our plastic guitars. I fake it every time I finish playing My Generation. :D


on an unrelated note, my X-plorer strum bar gave out. Maybe I could smash it....

well I just got my new drums at the start of the month, and about a week or so after the who pack came out, every pad is cracked except for the green pad, the green pad likes to drop notes, and my kick pedal is about to give.

I hate you Kieth Moon, :(

Well with all the broken strats and 360s that were sent in I'm sure they could've handed over a few of each for Pete to smash.

I'm sorry but the last statement took it way too far, u shouldve known the consequences when buyin The Who pack, shame on you for speaking bad on part of the greatest drummer of all time, Mr. Kieth Moon.

HAHA, i just felt like ranting...

Harmonix should deliver a plastic guitar to Pete and let him smash it.
