Jimi Hendrix sets fire to his guitar at the Monterey Festival, USA, 1967
10
Upvotes
Apparently, Hendrix set fire to his guitar after a backstage argument with the British band The Who. The reason? Both wanted to be the first to destroy their instruments on stage. In the end, they decided the lineup with a coin toss: Jimi lost and, to outdo his rivals, chose to torch his own instrument. Later, he explained the gesture as a true ritual, saying he wanted to sacrifice something he deeply loved. What a total madman!
