Spinal Tap Moment
Seven years ago, I witnessed something I thought I would never see. Mild mannered Edge completely detroying a guitar on stage during “Gone” in Boston. The only other time a band member destroyed an instrument that I could recall was when Bono tore apart Larry’s drum kit at Toad’s Place in New Haven, Connecticut on November 15, 1981.
To the best of my knowledge, Adam has not detroyed an instrument while onstage.
While on the topic of U2′s Boston shows in 2001, Carter Alan shared an anecdote with @U2 about the filming of the shows. Check it out in the latest @U2 Podcast.

Edge broke the Gobson Explorer in Madison Square Garden in ’85. Can’t remember how/why.
Gibson, but Gobson is amusing
