What new viewers must think: For violinists they do play the triangle a lot
Recordergang: But they are better at it than at playing the recorder so I am fine with it.
TRIANGLE SOLO
They do play the triangle a lot. And, as a percussionist, I can tell you that they play it very badly! Apparently they need to…… PRACTICE!!
i just listened to this song

See any similarities?
@@susiyoungs2611 40 hours a day.
it literally took me eight years to convince my parents to finally buy me an instrument due to various socioeconomic factors and there are actual people who destroy their instruments instead of donating it to the less privileged. the sacrilege in these videos is truly astronomical and very hurtful to people who cannot even afford an instrument. instrument abuse is not okay!!!
I watched the intro and liked the video but honestly I'm not watching it because it'll make me mad for real for that exact reason and I'm not up for that today.
Agreed man like I can't
This. I was just thinking about a video I saw the other day, with kids playing instruments literally made of trash. And then some people do this?!
ETA: actually, it would be pretty fun if Twoset were to react to it. th-cam.com/video/yYbORpgSmjg/w-d-xo.html
@@HyTricksyy I covered the screen half of the time
So true. :(
Ok, not only is deliberately destroying instruments a waste of money, art, and beauty; but how insulting to the people who spent their own, valuable time making these instruments!
Not only that, but these people could be giving these instruments to people who will love and treasure them!
Guys, please, even if you hate an instrument, please don’t destroy it. It deserves love, so give it to someone who will treasure it.
In my opinion it's also an offense to poor people as they can't afford these instruments with such great price
Okay, I couldn’t finish this video. It literally made me cry! I put my child molester husband in prison and lost absolutely everything! My daughter and I struggle hard! She wants a violin so bad I’ve bee been looking at a $40 import on Amazon, and I can’t even afford that, and these dipsticks are out here trashing the center piece of so many underprivileged children’s dreams! To hell with these crazy people! And shame on those people cheering!
Wow, you're so goddamn strong for doing so. I don't know you but good on you for protecting your daughter from a monster! I hope you're slowly recovering and that you and your daughter will achieve your dreams!
How are you doing now? I pray that you and your child/children are fine. And I absolutely relate to your emotion. I hope she has a violin now. It is a beautiful instrument.
I wish I could give her my violin but mines a rental and my parents would kill me
I would be glad to buy her a violin.
tell me how I could buy her a violin on amazon or something.
Why, just why not giving them to people who can't afford to buy an instrument?
Lol, it's their right, these are probably low quality cheap instruments anyways.
Edit: I hadn't watched the full video, it does seem like a lot of these are very expensive.
Kenz still a waste of resources
@@adnan-dv9tq True, but I thought they were cheap stuff, and as we know cheap stuff are made of cheap things, technically it's still a waste of resource, but you know what I mean.
Kenz low quality cheap instruments can still make people happy or get them started on their music journey, as someone who grew up without the financial possibility to play guitar I would have loved any guitar I would’ve been able to get
@@Sebastian-ce4ig You're right, I live in a 3rd world country, South East Asia. An average guitar player (non professional) could usually spare only 50$ for guitars, I'm lucky to be able to afford a 500$ guitar, and I'm not even professional, but then again 500$ is actually an affordable price for guitars in other parts of the world, and it is technically in the affordable line up of the brand. I'm definitely familiar with double standards.
And obviously I wasn't referring to those Gibson guitars they destroyed, THAT is a waste for sure. But that cello, violin that those people destroyed would have very little impact. We don't know what was going on off camera as well.
It's sad seeing people destroying instruments for fun while others who can't afford is dreaming of having one.. like me
Kyna Ramacula Ikr?

These white kids never understand our pain
@@anmoldeepsingh7907 i'm pretty sure there's plenty of white kids who can't afford an instrument.
Like I also can't just go and pay 400$ for a violin even tho i'd really like to play
as a trumpet player myself, i cried while watching the part where he smashes his trumpet 😭😭
As a flute player I was very upset when he did what he did.😭😭😭
*Anyone literally destroying their Instrument*
Me: Imagine doing that to my Piano. I'll end your life
Same here
Same. But not only on the piano...
For the record, smashing instruments is seen as a disrespectful try-hard thing in the rock world as well. There may have been a time where people thought it was cool, but nowadays, destroying an instrument just makes you look like an asshole.
I couldn’t agree more
Also when it was a thing it was when Rock stars were usually high most of the time. Probally just something they thought of whilst being on drugs.
You remember that scene in the Minions Movie where he smashes the guitar? THAT'S PROOF THAT MINIONS ARE SACRILEGIOUS!
Yeah, I follow several rock/metal bands and those people love and respect their instruments like any other musician. They'd probably cringe at this video too.
Lily Burrell what about when they give Billie joe Armstrong one minute?? He smash his guitar cause he was mad
Why do they destroy the instruments, they can give them to poor kids like me
Yeahhh they could have just donated it
Because they are have stupid
Yeaaaaaaahhh :')
I would rather rip out all strings and let my cat sleep inside it than doing sth like these people.
Because they're utter morons with 2 digit IQ.

Bro as a musician ....... I felt pain when they destroyed the guitars
Same here.
Even though I’m a classical musician, it hurts so bad seeing this 😭🎸🚫👿
That was possibly the most sacrilegious guitar video I've ever seen and that's saying something.
That video is why I will NEVER buy a Gibson. Especially since they were the ones who filmed that.

Dude, sameeee
@• P i s c e s • sooooo, do you play piano or organ.?

This is actually sad
How many people would kill to have an instrument like those, but can't afford one, or even think about getting one
Probably one of the most painful videos to watch. 😣 There could be so many people who would want an instrument but could never afford it. The massive guitar destruction was the worst.
A friend of mine told me about a couple of guys in her high school music class who threw a trombone (I think) out of their 2nd floor classroom window. The things was damaged beyond repair. The following week, the teacher gave jobs for everyone to do to prep for the upcoming concert, ignoring the two kids who did it. The two idiots were like "...what would you like us to do?" The teacher responded "you can go down to the guidance office and make sure you're not in my class next year."
My 7th grade science teacher did marching band when she was in high school and she told me about a time when a trombone player fell onto his trombone and I felt really bad for that person even though it happened at least 10 years ago
That sounds like the time someone swung a flute like a baseball bat and threw half of it across the room.
@@theresachacon1122 Of course he would feel bad about it.
And how do you think the guy who fell on his Strad would have felt?
I can't remember his name but it was a rather famous violinist.
Anka Voskuilen I mean I remember that David Garrett fell on his strad when he slipped down some stairs
My freshman year, seniors snuck into the bandroom and stole a trombone and took a bunch of pictures and we found out at graduation (because of the senior slideshow) luckily, they didn’t break anything because our band is poor🤩
Me: Can't afford lessons or an instrument
*Sacrilegious* people: Destroying *thousands* of dollars worth of instruments
The exact reason why I am not a musician uwu)
Mette B Some people don’t have jobs yet and those who have jobs can have a hard time making money during a global pandemic
Luminosity These instruments were destroyed for the sake of the video and money out that. This is the same instrument as video cam or decorations. If don’t have enough money to be musician… I know, it sounds harsh, but that’s your own problem… Let them mind their media business for you to mind your own business.
It's ridiculous when so many poor kids can't afford instruments or lessons.
HONESTLY
1 like equals 1 prayer for that cello at 2:40
I remember when I replaced my cheap first guitar with a good student level one, I gave the cheap one to my teacher so he can give it to students who are starting out and don't own a guitar yet. I'm still smiling occasionally thinking about this and how many people it might have helped introduce into the world of music.
My point is, please respect your instruments and give them away/resell them if you know you won't be using them anymore. I'm honestly super triggered by this video...
people destroying instruments... while other people wanted to have one, but doesn't have enough money to buy one for themselves...:(
You shouldnt have an instrument if you cant buy one in the first place unless a busker

All I could think when I saw the number of guitars there was... The number of schools and music programs that are in underserved communities that could have been helped... I know electric guitar isn't a normal school instrument, but anything to get people into music.
i actually screamed at the trumpet distruction.

You should check out The Who appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Their rather eccentric drummer Keith Moon packed his bass drum full of explosives to go off at the end of the performance, unbeknownst to the shows producers. It resulted in shrapnel being lodged in Moons arm, the guitarist Pete Townsends hair catching alight and permanent hearing loss for the lead singer Roger Daltrey. Worst of all though, it caused their mild mannered bass guitarist virtuoso John Entwistle to step slightly to the side out of the way.
"If you're a two setter, you know it's all about respecting the instruments"
*Screams in violist*
All jokes aside, this needed to be addressed. Breaking an Instrument is not cool at all
Especially all those guitars. I cried during that part.
I think the disclaimer on that ad was on-point, dont break usable instruments. There are old instruments or replica that could be used for these experiment type videos. I rmb Olaf did a video where he did some weight tests on an old violin that could no longer be played properly and that was quite cool
I spoke to a guy once who was going to buy an instrument so he could destroy it. Luckily it was too expensive for him but I mean how can you even think of doing that?? People seem to get satisfaction out of smashing a perfectly good instrument that someone else would die to have so they can play it
@@robertjames6085 That's really disgusting. I get so freaked out if my instrument even gets the slightest scratch.

When you live with an instrument for a while you realise each one has a personality. You may not get along, but it’s a personality all the same.
I feel bad for the luthiers. Luthier is a hard job. Making an instrument ain't a piece of cake
Quite possibly these are factory made items, which means people with basic training each performing 1 task make the instrument, spending maybe one to five minutes on one for a phase. It's how you can make the lower end stuff cheap. It doesn't make it ok, just saying.
@@bencze465 yes, but to make a factory instrument takes a lot of hard work and teamwork. Just because its factory made doesnt mean we should destroy them.
It is if you play the whipped cream
These instruments were destroyed for the sake of the video and money out that. This is the same instrument as video cam or decorations.
I mean, if anything, luthiers would benefit from it, cause the person that destroyed his instrument now needs a new one.
"Don't hit your instruments"
Percussionists: Am I a joke to you?
XD yeah, being a percussionist, it feels just a little bad to hit your instrument, I was once told to smack my bass drum really hard for a “forte” but the way my teacher smacked it... it was like a fortississimo and I felt horrible...😔
I try not to break my cymbals
Cries in piano
Yeah doing anything more than forte just makes me feel bad ngl, even though I know the drum can take it
It's called strike , you ignorant
7:41 I officially dislike Gibson now. In order to clean up a mess, you created one? DONATE THEM TO SCHOOLS!!
The fact that people enjoy destroying instruments and abuse so many is scary and sad...

There are so many underprivileged kids who would have appreciated those instruments that those people just destroyed. It's not just the insult to the workmanship, the fact that they destroyed something beautiful that brings meaning and joy to so many. What irks me most is that they could have donated those instruments, which are so expensive, to those who would take care of them and use them to make beautiful music. So senseless.
Let's hope the string instruments were at least from some to-be demolished school with a serious mold problem and getting rid of the stench/fungi would've been more expensive than a new instrument...
Honestly, on that Gibson video this was my first thought.
My hope is that the ones at schools are due to the instrument being too old and falling apart, because I know a lot of school districts wont get new ones until the old ones are completely broken
There are hungry musicians who could’ve eaten those
@@Ashlynn.HudsonWelburn nah Gibsons were made to be destroyed. Lol.
' Don't try this at home.' As if everyone owns a steam roller.
Yep. Das funny.
I will say, I have destroyed a guitar once. It was an acoustic that a friend in high school had, and it was badly damaged already (badly warped neck, cracks in the body, hole in the back). So we decided to go out to the loading dock and do the thing you see in videos of people just swinging a guitar into something. I did feel bad about it afterwards though even though the instrument was basically beyond repair.
As a Cellist I feel sorry for the instruments and violinists who had to witness and experience the pain, may they rest in peace.

To be honest what really bothers me about the destruction videos is that many people would love to play those instruments but have no money to purchase them and then there are people out there destroying them, its kinda sad. Just like Eddy said: RESPECT INSTRUMENTS, PEOPLE
Exactly.
Definitely.
Totally
Ikr it kinda reminds me of those videos of people destroying their "old" phones when getting new ones, JUST GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO CAN'T AFFORD IT
@@Julia-ln5og IKR! Some of my family members struggle a lot financially and since I was a kid we have the habit of passing our "old" phones to other family members if they had older phones than us. My father and cousin passed their old phones to me, I already passed my old phones for other family members and so on. Seeing people destroying things so easily makes me really uncomfortable, thinking about how many people would die to have something like what is being destroyed.
When Brett sneezed I literally said bless you out loud like he was going to hear me hahaha
7:59 is the reason why I am a classical guitarist, but still all of those guitars that were crushed by the bulldozer could have been donated to some orphanage
@Vedant Velma I agree, including the other instruments being destroyed
@@IcyTorment well they could be donated somewhere else that doesn’t destroy instruments
@@IcyTorment That's almost certainly a bullshit PR lie to make them seem less bad. Guitars do not have high voltage components. The only thing that can shock you is when the amplifier is improperly grounded, or maybe when a microphone, the guitar strings, and your body form a circuit to the PA system. The guitar alone can't hurt you.
If someone donated a multi thousand dollar instrument to me, I think I would be crying tears of joy.

I know it was a thing to smash instruments at one point but even rock artists very much grew out of it (or at least from my experience we did). I was a guitarist for years and always thought that smashing instruments was entitled - all the guitarists I knew and I looked after our instruments like they were our babies. I lent my bass to my ex years ago and was FURIOUS when it was returned with a dent in the top. F-u-r-i-o-u-s. Ex for a reason lol.

Same here but for the Cello :(
I want to learn violin too but i am learning piano and untill a few months ago i still used a small keyboard before a real piano
That’s how I felt with the cellos. Because of Twoset I wanna learn to play the cello (kinda old but that’s ok) and those videos crushed my soul....
Violin is so hard man
Drive knight Yeah, it’s challenging but it’s worth it at the end. I really love the violin especially because of the beautiful melodies you can produce with it. I hope one day I’ll be able to learn the violin but for now I’m fine with a piano.
The fellow destroying the cello was frustrated that he couldn’t even play Suite 1.
These videos actually remind me of the real cruel videos with tortures, murders and stuff. They begin quiet although you know that the person in the frame is about to die and then it happens and you break into tears
As a guitarist, I legit cried when they destroyed the guitars.
There were so many fricking guitars and they destroyed them all for literally no reason 😭. The least they could have done is donate them to charity or less fortunate kids, there a kids who literally have a whole orchestra with instruments made of rubbish. If if they didn’t want to give them away they could have at least sold them, I’d much rather know that I got 40 bucks for my guitar and it went to a good home where it was played and loved than it being destroyed.
My brother is a guitarist too. Whenever he would see a musician destroy a guitar it would tick him off, royally.
According to Gibson, those were “an isolated batch of Firebird X models built in 2009-2011 which were unsalvageable and damaged with unsafe components. This isolated group of Firebird X models were unable to be donated for any purpose and were destroyed accordingly.”
All that money down the toilet also those guitars could of gone out to deprived kids to inspire them into having a go at music, maybe even developing a future genius writer or player.
Schools could been given them for their music departments saving lots of money. People who think things up like this make me sick to my stomach because they mustn't of really give anything a value in life like some kind of psychopath:(
YEA like legit i would love so much to have this guitar

It can go both ways it can be distressing to know your piece of art was misused. But then the inner capitalist can say hey they have to buy another one now.
That cello exploding at the beginning just crushed my soul, I never cringed this hard
The first one is already killing me
I’m a pianist for 6 years and started to play clarinet in my grade 7 band in September
But a few years ago I suddenly asked my parents for a cello for Christmas cuz the deep sound waves and it’s the instrument closest to your heart (idk the bass or guitar could be but I heard that cello was) and it’s gonna be my dream to play cello one day … 🥺HOW COULD HE RUIN IT
This make me feel like watching my best friend getting killed in front of thousand of people in a colosseum and everyone is cheering when he get ripped to pieces
It because my violin is my best friend
This is dark, I feel I would cry even for my $200 violin that doesn't compare to strad would be cried for by me, it's my first professional violin and I would burst because it was a gift from my dad... It doesn't even compare to a strad.

@@eliter7991 do musicians experiment with video cams to get sounds and break them in the process? No. Even though that would actually give a producer a lot of interesting sound textures to work with. Why do videographers and showmakers experiment with breaking musical instruments?
Plus, look up Jared Dines, he did the right thing with $80k. He raised some money, gave $20k dollars himself and donated it to a lot of kids so they can buy an instrument they couldn't afford otherwise. That's what a respectable person does if they have the opportunity. That's what Gibson guitars could do. That would even be a better as campaign than destroying all of those instruments. So...

Paul Mitten (mbvglider) When Rock Bands do it it's out of expression, lmao
@@Utonian21 Jimi did it once. It's not like it was a regular part of his act.
EXPLAINING GIBSONS GUITAR DESTRUCTION
I hated their decision, but they defended this saying that all those GIbson Firebird X guitars destroyed came from a terrible defective batch. It was also apparent that the Firebird X model was selling terribly, and nobody would buy them, not even to modify them for the better. After this incident went viral, they pledged to donate millions worth of instruments to people who need it, and gave away an instrument a day for a thousand days. Still doesn't sit well with me though...that was a lot of wasted wood and steel.
They do this a lot. More times off-camera. One statement released essentially says they were sorry to have let someone film it happening.
ALSO yes some famous rock and metal bands thrash their instruments. Mostly because they can afford to lose it. They often gather the shards of the broken instruments and give them away to fans, or sell it in auctions to charity or collectors.
But this is not as common practice as some may think. Usually rock and metal bands take intense care of their gear, as they have been customized, modified, or very distinct to make the sounds they want to achieve. It's a different conversation when you're well funded on a live tour however.
But generally, this is insane. Do these people realize how many people out there would love to pick up instruments but can't afford any? It's baffling to me how this is even something people celebrate. Every instrument destroyed is an instrument that could have been loved by better people. Particularly those handmade by luthiers. Im so mad.

You do realize its a joke right? Noone is entitled to an instument. What they or anybody does with their personal property (barring illegal activities) is their own business. If anyone decides to destroy their own instruments then who cares, its litterally just another piece of property. There is no justification whatsoever for backlash or shame. Far crueller acts occur every single day and nobody cares.
Well, you should reaaaally ask Pete Townsend and sometimes Ritchie Blackmore about that, when their personal levels of intensity reached the point that shredding a poor guitar couldn't satisfy them and they simply smashed the damn thing. Sure, a violin shredder might not condone it but they would probably "get" it. It's very different when you are part of an ensemble that identifies itself as an ensemble, from a quartet to a philharmonic. It's QUITE different when you are "banding" together to play music. It's still you and your instrument along with other people and their respective instruments - and sometimes, the damn guitar really has it coming.
P.S. Hendrix also enjoyed immensely destroying his pedals - up to a point he was losing money from the sold out gigs because he would eff up the equipment so much they would have to get new pedals for him almost every night. On the bright side, he simply burned the poor things, unlike The Who's drummer who of course had to rig his drumset with explosives which he promptly detonated during the final notes of the last song.
from the screenshot statement on 7:41, "Gibson literally could not sell these guitars and they were on the books".
So, they destroyed the guitars just to make sure they have a better figure on their annual report? What a silly decision by the management.
@@ianian4162 you could smash the house youre leaving behind when moving out and say it's a joke. It's not funny for the next occupant or someone homeless dying to even get a place. Just because it's personal property doesn't make it any less of a wasteful way to spend resources. Sure i guess do it with really common machine-made instruments like maybe cheap guitars, but on handcrafted orchestral instruments? Kinda a shame.
my heart literally skipped a beat when the cello shattered
When you don't play the instrument but you cried when all of the instruments are destroyed
Hendrix’s guitar wasn’t his real white strat. And he says he sacrificing something he values for the fans to show appreciation. What Gibson did though was disgusting they could’ve given them to some kind of charity for musicians.
Exactly, imagine how many people or kids would love to play a guitar but can't afford to buy one! Handing a guitar to someone in need is way better than turning those instruments into trash.
what would you do if donating cost more than destroying it? packaging, labelling, shipping, processing, administrative work, etc. I don't agree with what gibson did but financially it makes sense
Stefani just no
Stefani I know what you mean but imagine the cost of production and then wasting it like that.
imagine you can donate empty water bottles for $1 to recycling centers. would you actually ship and pay $1 per bottle or just throw them away as usual?
Funny story about the way I started playing guitar:
I was 15 and at a friends house after school, hanging out in his garage and playing pool, listening to some music and blazing up when my friend pulled out an acoustic guitar he had. The back was peeling off a bit and the action was super high (the strings were really far off the fretboard, making it difficult to press them down on the frets) but other than that it was a perfectly good instrument. I didn't really know anything about guitars yet, but it seemed that it could be easily repaired/still be played in the condition it was in. For some reason my friend thought it would be funny and asked if I wanted to watch him smash the guitar outside in the street. I instantly felt it would be sacreligious to destroy a nice looking instrument, so I protested and asked him to give it to me instead of destroying it. He did and I took it home and there began my obsession with guitar for the past 12 years. I fell in love with the instrument right away. Also, I looked up that guitar model after I took it home and it turns out it was a pretty nice guitar, handmade in Canada. Wish I still had it as a keepsake, but at least I still have my love for guitar and music.
YESS HAPPY STORY
Yay that was a great ending
Abandon that so called “friend” of yours
#savemusicalinstruments
Great story! Hope you still play the guitar :)
@@coleabrahams9331 I wouldn't say I abandoned them, but we lost touch after high school and I moved out of state. To be fair, they were never that close of a friend haha, but I'm glad they gave me my first guitar.
As a guitarist, the one with the lines of guitars getting ran over by a huge machine broke my heart
Lutnik płakał jak ogladał
Szanujmy instrumenty✨
The dozens of electric guitars one really made me mad. One thing is to destroy an instrument when people don't want it anymore and think they could use a laugh out of it (not the best, but passable). But destroying that many instruments just for views, when you have people wanting an instrument to learn how to play music? ESPECIALLY when the internet also have demand for videos of people donating things to people that want it but cannot afford? Sacrilegious is the only word to describe it! Gibson stated that they were "unsalvageable" - Which made every luthier in the world mad as well!
GIBSO I would have paid for that guitar! Anything is better than my horrible guitar. I love her tho. My sweet little Belky.
the guitars were destroyed because nobody liked them! i don't think donating would be a good choice.
@@matheusventura4289 Are you rich or something? Lots of kids would LOVE having it.
I don't really know how electric guitars are made but, I believe it was a defective batch that probably was more expensive to repair than to make new ones, (maybe) thus making destroying them reasonable.
@@heyytheree duh because they're new
And I thought Karens were the limit of human stupidity. . Edit: Never mind I just met something stupider
Oracle Gem These instruments were destroyed for the sake of the video and money out that. This is the same instrument as video cam or decorations.
Wow, that's a pretty low Bar. You don't get out much?

@@Zoorty_ That is a great roast lol
They do not deserve their instruments. Spoiled brats
True, it's kind of ironic you say they don't deserve their instrument when they just broke them, so they don't own an instrument anymore.
@@kenz2756 They don't deserve one. Forever
@@euryqt yeah
Yeah, Hendrix was such a spoiled brat lmao
I’m proud of myself for recognising that the first clip was of a cello, since a week or two ago, I wouldn’t have even known the difference between the string instruments
I get paranoid whenever the violin falls of a small box i literally get anxious and worried
Imagine the people destroying a violin without knowing it's a Strad
O.M.G.
😱
ahghgghGHGAHGHahghaagha that would hurt like a stab in the chest
You're gonna give me a heart attack, man.
nooooooooooooooo
I literally started crying.
I am so happy that my cellist friend does not own a VPN to see this sacrilegious, painful clip. But the pain is real for me
I literally almost cried when the cello shattered I don’t even know why this is so painful
