Is It OK To Smash Guitars? w/ Kai West

The Tone Mob Podcast - Un pódcast de Blake Wyland & Sound Talent Media - Lunes

Categorías:

What do Wendy O. Williams, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Pete Townshend, Mike McCready, and Blake Wyland have in common? We have all SMASHED GUITARS as part of a public performance. This polarizing practice is so deeply integrated into music culture, and yet it is so frowned upon by a large swath of the music community. Is it ok? Is it terrible? Is it wasteful? Is it excessive? I had Kai West on to dissect this issue a little bit further. Kai is a Musicologist and PhD candidate at the University of Michigan. He has extensively researched and studied electric guitar culture which of course includes the history of guitar smashing. This is a very interesting conversation about a fairly divisive topic. I hope you enjoy the show!
