The most ridiculous guitar smashy-smashy on this tour has to be Turin 2 when he threw it in the piano and slammed the lid on it several times. That was quite funny.

 

It was a regular antic during the stadium shows.

 

Matt did it better in Turin 2 because the guitar was horribly out of tune.

Indeed - I remember him hurling a guitar at my Emirates gig before destroying the same guitar the night after.

 

There's a lot of guitar chucking this time, though I guess there's as much in it when the guitar's fucked up, like at Werchter when the guitar cut out and Matt destroyed it.

I agree. I've never been a big fan of smashing guitars, but when they are really getting into it and as a result he starts getting crazy that's cool. Now it's kinda like he does it because he has to. I've seen him do it in a way that looks almost bored, how he threw his guitar away.

I remember this in Montreal, where near the extended extro riff for Uprising, it's clear that Matt was trying to loosen up the neck of his guitar so it would possibly snap off when he launched it.

 

Around the 8:50 mark
