Boy, I find it hard to watch anything with that much video compression. Data compression is the bane of modern media.
"We have also sound-houses, where we practise and demon- strate all sounds and their generation....
Divers instruments of music likewise to you unknown, some sweeter than any you have; with bells and rings that are dainty and sweet. We represent small sounds as great and deep, likewise great sounds extenuate and sharp; we make divers tremblings and warblings of sounds, which in their original are entire. We represent and imitate all articulate sounds and letters, and the voices and notes of beasts and birds. We have certain helps which, set to the ear, do further the hearing greatly; we have also divers strange and artificial echoes, reflecting the voice many times, and, as it were, tossing it; and some that give back the voice louder than it came, some shriller and some deeper, some rendering the voice, differing in the letters or articulate sound from that they receive. We have all means to convey sounds in trunks and pipes, in strange lines and distances."--Francis Bacon, 1626

I'm sorry, I can't even watch that. I never understood smashing guitars...If you have too many, give'm away to kids that might develop a career or at least learn some positive habits that will apply to whatever endeavors they might undertake in life.
Trashing perfectly good instruments (or anything else of value) for the sake of entertainment seems indulgent IMO. And the rationalization given for the video rings hollow, too. Any correlation between dragging humans behind a truck and destroying an instrument is lame and pretentious. Again, IMO.
