What kind of rock do you want to play?

Just get an electric guitar, then take some time and learn how to play.

Besides getting the guitar and learning to play it

I was thinking more of favorite stage escapades we should stage. We have a limited budget so im afraid breaking the guitar up......just wont happen unless im planning to buy a new one soon or something.

DO NOT SMASH THE GUITAR

you will be forever seen as a Win Butler rip-off.

Instead, try climbing up a Marshall stack and dive-bombing off the top during the drum solo!

just...don't.

Why don't you "get crazy" like Isaac Brock and bust out a bit of on-stage cutty-cut?
Always goes down well.

Fuck the guitar, get a synth. Try to be a rip-off Depeche Mode, as I expect this will be the trend of 2007 (ON MYSPACE!!).

....um.....butler wasnt the first to smash his guitar on stage...just the first to do it on snl...

Wesley's right, Damon Albarn did it first.

i hear it is pretty easy because you only need to know three chords.

im trying to start out doing sufjan stevens and iron and wine covers and work up from there...

wesley useche, Friday, 23 March 2007 02:47 (eighteen years ago)

really, just don't. Do something constructive with your time, like keeping goldfish.

but rock bands are fun.....

My advice to you is that you will suck. You will suck no matter what, and if you practice really hard you will suck in an especially wanky way. But if you decide you want to stick to it anyway, your fourth or fifth band might be good.

So you wanna be a rock'n'roll star?
Well liten now to what I say
get yourself an electric guitar
and take some time and learn how to play
and when hair's combed right
and your pants are tight
it's gonna be all right

with time you go downtown
to the agent man he won't let you down
sell your soul to the company
they're all waiting there
to sell plastic wares
and in a week or two if you make the charts
the girls will tear you apart

what you pay for these riches and fame
well it's all a vicious game
you're a little insane
what you get is the public acclaim
don't forget who you are
you're a rock & roll star
na na na na na . . .

hey you. come here. get up.
ah, this is the era where everybody creates.
recognize my face?
they call me broken glass.
that's because of the sound [ ]
[ ]
what you pay for all these riches and fame
well it's all a vicious game
you're a little insane.
well you're a little insane
oh a little insane
'cause the thing that you gain
is the public acclaim
don't forget who you are
don't forget who you are
don't forget who you are
you're a rock & roll star

Drugs. Snort all the pharmaceutical state-approved drugs you can.

Smash a cowbell. Trust me, the guitar smashing is so passe. A cowbell has more resistence. If you couldn't smash it now, you can use it in the next performance.

Groupies. Use inflatable dolls. Cheap and easy.
