“I wonder if they had an SG available for Pete to smash...”

I thought he got over that. And these days he plays Stratocasters (interestingly enough, Eric Clapton Signature Strats).

Pete never smashed up good guitars. I never saw him smash up the Les Paul's he use to play.
I didn't know Kennedy Center honoured non US citizens. I'm a huge WHO fan, especially the original (Pete Townsend, Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon and John Entwhistle) members.

He’s played a lot of stuff. Though every time I see somebody trashing a guitar, I get a little sad inside. It’s a perfectly good instrument getting destroyed on stage.

I’ve been playing the same Stratocaster for 5 years, so I guess I’m a little biased.

As far as I know, he last smashed one in ‘02 or ‘04. I think it was at Jones Beach.
