He's always thrown his guitar, but someone who works for him always catches it.

No one caught it at the Webby Awards! biggrin
It was a couple of other times I saw him throw his guitars and they ate the stage!

He always, always, always throws it, sometimes, it is caught, others, it smacks the floor. I flinch every time...even though it is pretty cool, I must admit.

Thank you PurpleCharm.


omg eek

If nobody was there 2 catch it... he must not have liked that guitar very much. giggle
I just thought that he treasured his guitars cuz they help him write those beautiful songs of his... just can't think of him breaking them by being so careless (or he was just in a rush 2 get outta there)...

I figured he'd think of his guitars as precious instruments... but what do eye know?
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

It does have scratches on it...

You know what my favorite tossing moment is? When he and Sheila were at the naacp awards last year or maybe in 05. First Sheila knocks over the cymbals on her drums and throws her sticks at them, then Prince throws his guitar out in front of himself. I loved that.

A few times I saw him do it I swear it is caught by a hook or something and lifted UP into air.
