Burning it & dividing up the ashes might be a better way of doing this, otherwise everyone will want a stripy piece.
I'm not even really a Nirvana fan, truth be told.
I can understand that. I like Nirvana pretty well, but I do think they were way over-hyped in the the 90's.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 10:51 amI'm not even really a Nirvana fan, truth be told.
I own a couple of their records but they were bought for me on the (incorrect) assumption I was a fan.
Haha, yeah I’m just a casual fan. The shrine comment was tongue in cheek…although i am now envisaging how a guitar cut into 4500 bits might look. They’d be pretty small fragments!johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 10:51 amI'm not even really a Nirvana fan, truth be told.

Idk if you could reasonably say overhyped. They were THE hype, the foundation upon which the first half of the decade’s pop industry/typical exploitation was built and they were promoted like it. I’ve always viewed it as a double edged sword - a lot of people were able to get into music they otherwise would have never found, but in return the culture I loved and upon which a large part of my life is built was gutted and exploited and bastardized. Saying it out loud, maybe just a single edged sword I wouldn’t wanna hold. I’m just saying, it’s not like they were a diamond in the weeds that people only now look back on and pile praise the same way a lot of people do with, say, My Bloody Valentine. They were the lightning in a bottle, fresh take on an old formula thing for their time that they grown ups were all too happy to squeeze out the pennies fromJackFawkes wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 12:16 pmI can understand that.

Very interesting how crazy that show was, Kurt breaks his prized mustang, bounces his jaguar off the bouncers head, then after the show they narrowly escape the stitched up bouncer who is out for revenge. As they jump into the cab to make a getaway, Dave gets left behind! but somehow avoids any conflict and gets a ride from a fan back to their hotel.Highnumbers wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 12:48 pmAny discount for the neck being broken off and repaired?

Yep, by all accounts they had just reached a boiling point in that tour and things came to a head in Dallas, sparked by the aggressive bouncer.FenderBob wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 9:40 amVery interesting how crazy that show was, Kurt breaks his prized mustang, bounces his jaguar off the bouncers head, then after the show they narrowly escape the stitched up bouncer who is out for revenge.

Didn’t he use a Greco Mustang in the early days & used a rh mustang at a gig too?Highnumbers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 24, 2022 5:45 pmIt’s also the only Mustang he ever gigged that wasn’t routed for a full size humbucker.
It wasn’t a Greco, that was some homemade Mustang copy, and IIRC it had a humbucker.
