It eventually got to a point where they didn't have a choice but to smash. Townshend once stated in an interview that if he tried to finish a show without destroying his guitar, fans would get irate.

* ''VideoGame/SpaceRangers 2'': In one of optional [[InteractiveFiction text quests]] you must create a band for participation in a musical contest. During the concert proper, you can smash your guitar in order to fire up the crowd. It does get you a lot of fan support, but not only does ItOnlyWorksOnce (because the show's team has no more spares), it also degrades the quality of your music, because of an [[DeconstructedTrope unfamiliar and quite crappy guitar]] you have to use after destroying your own.
