Simple Question

Has Prince ever smashed/destroyed/set fire to a guitar or equipment on stage?

I doubt it, but I'm thinking maybe this might have happened in the Dirty Mind days or something.


hmmm

chill..prince doesnt like men being front row, makes it hard to sing the ballads

I remember at the GMA summer concert back during Chaos & disorder after he finished Zanalee he threw his black symbol guitar up in the air behind him and when it hit the ground the curly part of the guitar broke off from the body.

I've never seen any footage or evidence of Prince deliberately destroying
his guitar or any equipment on stage. He can be pretty rough on his guitars though
and throws them around, which sometimes breaks or damages them.
