A victim of frustration... 


The results could have been much worst, I was actually lucky.




And another...


Marianne, my black strat. Thrown on stage, dragged around, jumped on w/ both feet, kicked around, dropped on the floor, got beer spilled in the pick ups more often than I can remember, was directly exposed to rain (and surprisingly, never had any intonation issues in over 15 years). 


But then she had an accident involving a tombstone... THAT left a couple of ugly scars. Considering how thick  the paint is, I must have been really pissed.

now I got that %&*#ing song stuck in my head. 

I had a major outburst sometime in my early 20's and smashed everything in my apartment...and I mean everything...TV, stereo, guitar, computer, plates, cups, the lot. I can't even remember what it was about but amazingly enough I felt great afterwards and have never had an outburst since (outside of work). Kind of sucked having nothing for the few months it took me to save to replace everything, but then again I read more than I ever have in my life. 

 I think he could seriously use some medication a vacation or both. It cost him a guitar.

Let him borrow your Taylor, 

A better acoustic will help him play better 

I used to have this old Tascam 8 track, it was almost comical at how upset I would get, that I would pound on it w/my fist and amazingly it would start up on cue, I began to pound it each time to get it working, rather than trying to take it to a teac dealer and get it fixed.

needless to say I beat that 1200.00 machine to death one night.
I learned a lot from that experience.
