If you look just as Chester is picking up the guitar and smashing it on the metal thing, you can see Mike from his chest to feet on the right of the screen. At one point, just a Chester is picking up the guitar, Mike makes a hand signal as to say "What the hell are you doing?" Look for it because it's there. I went back and watched it about 40 times [EDIT] For those of you who are confused, this is at the end of 'Place for My Head"
Cool, I'll check that out . A friend that went to the Sanitarium in Montreal told me it tooks 3 mins to Chester to smash one to pieces at the show .
LOL yeah, it took him a while to smash it, didn't it? I'll definitely check that out, thanks for posting that Neil.
must have been a pretty solid guitar. I never noticed that in LIT too. Chester had the right to, he must have gotten pretty worked up screaming through the whole song.
You're right. But, if that really is what Mike was doing, it wouldn't make much sense. If I remember correctly, they smashed a guitar at the end of "A Place For My Head" on, like, 70% of their Summer Sanitarium shows. Maybe Mike told Chester not to smash another and he did anyway.
LOL I LOOKED AND HE IS SO SILLY TRYING TO SMASH IT. LOL, NICE GUITAR TOO. WHAT WAS MIKE DOING TO STOP HIM? SILLY HAND GESTURES HA HA I WENT TO SEE LOTR: ROTK TODAY AND MY BUM WENT NUMB. HE HE HE :whistle: WAS IT GORY? HELL YES
LOL. Whoa, Mike really did do that! Good old Mike, he's the sensible one, LOL. BTW: I went to see LOTR: ROTK today too...my ass was numb as well. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! *I've become so numb...*
Well, Brad threw it on the floor first so Chester was just finishing the job. I bet that guitar never saw that coming..
I think Mike was motioning to Brad, because he seemed to look more back than at Chester unless he was looking at the band behind him. I think he was motioning more to Brad on "What are you doing?" than Chester. In any event, Shinoda was either confused or didn't expect it!
i think that mike did that sign, cause he was waiting brad break the guitar, and he didn't, i think that part of breaking the guitar was prepared cause when i saw that, mike was like why you didn't broke the guitar, well i see it in that way.
