On the Who's Next Tour in 72 I think, the Boy trashed every thing, Pete went WILD!!! I think Pete was the first to bust up his stuff and Jimi was the first to set fire to his Ax.

Silas Lang Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 In an interview Townshend said the first guitar he broke on stage was an accident. After leaping in the air, the neck of the guitar hit the ceiling of the club they were playing in. So once the neck was broken, he just decided to go ahead and smash the rest of it. Of course, not wanting to be upstaged, Keith Moon smashed up his drum kit. After the word got out and people started asking if they were the group that smashed up their instruments, it was something that he felt the audience wanted and expected so it just snowballed from there. That's the story I heard anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
