It probably survived, haha. Tough one.

The way your profile pic perfectly illustrates your comment is sending me

y skelton woman smash gitar GRRR 😡

they weren't mad that it was a guitar they were mad that a girl did it simple as that.

@@luxbledstone Facts. Cobain did it on this show (although they did kind of cut him off)

@@simonwilliams8528 1) Why do we give "Cobain or other musicians" the benefit of the doubt that it was "genuine"?? Smashing a guitar is a well-tread rock star gimmick, and to believe that a musician is just spontaneously inspired to do this is probably a stretch. So the question of authenticity I think has more to do with our own beliefs in what an "authentic" rock star seems like than it does that musician's inner thought process. This is why gender comes into the picture for someone like Phoebe Bridgers who is constantly poking fun at the centrality of maleness in rock music. 2) For anyone familiar with Phoebe Bridgers, "ironic" and "silly" and "contrived" gestures are all central to her persona as an artist, and to some extent, even her songwriting. She is plays with rock music archetypes and cliches, to the point of being in an all-women band called "Boygenius" and creating merch full of heavy metal imagery. Which is why a lot of fans are rolling their eyes at people being sincerely upset about this stunt -- it sort of underscored the implied joke, that certain musicians and music fans have no sense of humor or absurdity when it came to their traditional musical heroes, and the fact that a woman was performing this ritual just made its absurdity apparent for the first time.

@@simonwilliams8528 I mean, I'm not assuming anything particular about you personally, and when I refer to people "sincerely upset", I am thinking more of boomer Eric Clapton fans than someone on KZfaq. I disagree strongly with the idea that "maleness isn't central to music at all" -- with the correction that I am talking about rock music in particular, which is where this guitar-smashing archetypes is drawing from. You're right that women are "currently" at the fore of a lot of music across all genres, but a simple Wikipedia search of the best selling acts of all time are stacked with male rock acts and female artists who are more generally thought of as pop stars (Madonna, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, versus The Beatles, Queen, AC/DC, Eagles, Rolling Stones, etc.).

I believe it was also auctioned off for thousands of dollars with the proceeds going to GLAAD.

Men smashing guitar : cool! Women smashing guitar : I think we have problem here. Duh.

haha I don't get why people were mad anyways. the guitar couldn't feel anything

@@Daniel-ed9gn it sold at an auction at GLAAD for 101K.

A fake monitor 🤦‍♂️

Absolutely! I've been so enamored by the embellished skeletons in her different dresses ❤️

She basically hijacked twenty one pilots style but made it 10x better

The Who wore skeleton suits in 1969-70. Between the suits and the guitar smashing, I’m guessing it was a nod. And I absolutely loved every second of it.

I would like to like this but its currently 2222 and I dont want to be the ass who destroyes that beauty

I am right now

I guess the end is here :)

same, the first time I heard it was in my car and it was raining so hard. it was an amazing experience

If u go out of your way to not listen to a song for months and listen to it again you can get the same feeling

I am, I shall give you the experience

She doesn't need some institution to validate her talent, she has us.

Bestie the Grammys are a scam. As long as you get NOMINATED that's good enough

happy megan won though

THIS ONE

@@Cupofgo this.

Especially because the album opener, DVD Menu, is a short instrumental that echoes this song. So from the very beginning you “know the end”. So good.

Definitely! This was definitely my favorite song on the album, but I think it was largely thanks to the build-up.

It just works so well as a closer

🦁 🐯 roar

I wish I could relisten to this album for the first time again. I thankfully only heard Kyoto before I listened all the way through in order, the sheer bittersweet release of the end of this song had me sobbing after all of the somber restraint before it.

ur early🤔

Jesus knows what's up

hi king

Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time...

you hear Chinese Satellite Mr. Christ?

i smile SO big every time

people were so upset that this song wasn't *angry* enough to warrant a guitar smash, not realizing that it's not supposed to be *angry* but *cathartic*

I love screaming along with her when I listen to the song. It is so stress revealing

I also find it empowering, brave and full of wonderment.

I love the whole thing, her smile throughout, the shred, the scream, and yes, the preplanned smash. The end is here, why the fuck not? Smile into oblivion.

it's like the "woo" in Kyoto, she's never not gonna do it

arguing with hags is a lifestyle

ew were people trashing pheobe?? dont mess with the pharbz

@@ynnahhh12 cringe

Delete twitter

I listened to literally every song and this is true.

not when garden song exists

Guts theme begs to differ but this is definitely 2nd place

THANK YOU

For truth

How did you survive to this? I'm living the same and it feels like dying inside

@@veronicagiannetti266 same here 😔

can relate to this so much, even expressing your feelings and emotions, sharing your thoughts and dreams, it's all seem as a weakness or a waste of time :(

You could look at it another way- at least you live in a house 🤔

Rebel against the system, create anarchy in your society

@Will Morgan I think it's the part where she is playing two beginner level power chords whilst strumming.

@@Gunn27 it’s in an open tuning, something she utilizes often and very well. also, music doesn’t have to be complex to be good, and even if she’s “just strumming”, she’s delivering an emotive performance backed by a full and competent band with classy instrumentation that fits her vision of what her music should be *edit : spelling mistake LOL

@@That_DogDay sure, but it really can’t be described as “shredding”

@@relevo86 definitely not, i think the original comment meant shredding as in going hard and rocking out. You don’t have to shred to have a good and jamming time \m/

Just wanted to keep this script going 6 months later~so I'll say SHREDDING !!

The gay agenda is real and we LOVE to see it😁😁

@@thefreehealer792 oo

i was JUST thinking this

Are they both gay?

It’s almost as if they plan out the show ahead of time 😲

IM DEAD THIS COMMENT

Phoebe defeatedly hugging Emily at the end is the most wholesome part of the set. We're still proud of you Phoebs!

I think it would've worked if it wasn't a fake monitor.

@@idontevenhaveapla7224 Kurt Cobain would have been so proud. It is well known that 10% of Nirvana's touring budget went on building and installing fake monitors for him to smash with a guitar in a pre planned meticulous way, overseen by Fender and his record company. Nothing says "passion" like fully rehearsed displays of anger for the camera. Please note I am being imomic.

@@Gunn27 imomic

A boomer pink Floyd - led zeppelin dude here to say this is awesome

thanks for being chill and normal

Well, l loved. I am 41

@@AndresManosalvas don’t bother saying you’re an outlier. She’s one of those twitter tumblr women who lump everyone together and think it’s progressive.

I enjoyed the music. The guitar-smash ... well, it's all been done before enough times.

@@PortobelloDave literally nobody cares

Imagine saying girlboss

One of the best performances, Saint Vincent also did an incredible job!

I'd vote for Jack White in October 2020. Replaced Morgan Wallen on relatively short notice, no new material to promote, and tore it up. This Phoebe Bridgers performance is outstanding.

Nah, BTS was way better.

@@bernlin2000 No. just no

@@bernlin2000 pfft, laughing.

🤣

@@noahdaugherty8413 dude, seriously? The only way you could ask the question “what world do you live in that you think men hate women so much” is if your head is in the sand and you refuse to acknowledge the many statistics, historical and current, that make it clear misogyny is a thing. I live in THIS world, dude. This one. But I’m not gonna bother explaining further bc I don’t feel like hearing one more dude invalidate those things or tell me “but men have problems too”. But just know that your comment is hilarious when there are places around the world where things aren’t as beautifully “equal” as you might have personally seen from your own myopic perspective.

@@noahdaugherty8413 you realize that misogyny is something that's rooted so deeply in our society that people don't even realize that they're misogynistic, right?

@@noahdaugherty8413 i don't quite understand your viewpoint.. what's the argument you're trying to make other than "ur stupid lol"

@@noahdaugherty8413 Noah, it's not as simple as you - or anyone else - is trying to make it out to be. I think we all know that, right?

Can you point me to the bit in the video where the guitar smashed?

Kurt? Lol

Best song, from best album, by best performer! I'm 74 and she's been blowing me away since "Stranger in the Alps" came out! Fuck the Grammies!

I guess if it's the first time you've ever seen that

@@Mutantcy1992 it's the first time I've seen it done to this song, yeah, not the first time I've seen it on stage in general. I just really love this song and I think this was a nice touch to the performance. Let people enjoy things.

It was a pretty weak smash honestly. She didn't even put her back into it

It’s for the best

@@qtpants9045 I can’t open my mouth, and forget how to talk

What if we have met and just don't know it.

Chicago. Same horn progression

YESSS

oh she said in an interview that was her intention with this outro!

i thought cursive vibes

Makes me so happy when my favourite artists are fans of my other favourite artists

I like to say that it’s a salute to Pete Townshend. 😏

it already is

🤣🤣🤣🤣😄

Haha no

Probably not but it was okay

What performance in what pop culture?

you're probably right sadly

Danelectro doesn't fuck around haha

Me too!! I was at the KC show! I love Phoebe’s music and seeing her live was…one of my best experiences

Because it came from a time when smashing the guitar was a statement, but nowadays people just do it for shock and attention.

lmfao it was a tribute to an Elliot Smith performance and even if it wasn't can you please tell me whats that supposed statement that people made back then that Phoebe can't do now???'

@@rebe6132 watch some videos of the who and maybe it'll be clear. there is a sense of it being unearned here.

@@Mutantcy1992 hahshsh i've seen plenty and i still can't see your point. is it because she's a woman? is that it? are you misogynistic??

The only reason to be mad about someone smashing a guitar is if it's unearned. There is no way to smash a guitar improperly if it is earned and genuine.

She went for it.......with timid reservation and pyrotechnics. Song was dope tho.

At least top 5 phoebes

This song is rock but most of her music isn't really rock it's more like indie pop and indie folk ballads

The scream is sick tho fosho

@@blistabliss I was not talking about the genre of music she plays. I'm talking about her high level of agency. She does what she wants. That's badass.

How?
