G-Dragon will continue to smash guitars for “Tonight” performances

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

Debunking earlier reports, YG Entertainment has announced that G-Dragon’s guitar-smashing act will continue for the remaining performances of Big Bang’s title track, “Tonight“.

Although YG had announced last week that Big Bang would stop breaking guitars once they completed their first round of comeback performances, G-Dragon was seen smashing yet another guitar during the climax of their performance on Mnet’s “M! Countdown” this week, which took fans completely by surprise.

The agency’s representatives explained, “At first, we wanted to change the stage a bit since we can’t keep showing the same image over and over again, but we decided to continue with the same dance due to a variety of reasons. If we wanted to change the performance, we would have to produce another version of the song, and the group would also have to practice a new set of choreography. We’re in a situation where we don’t have enough time.”

Are G-Dragon’s guitar-smashing antics the highlight of Big Bang’s performance for you? Toss us your thoughts below!

[noxmonde.livejournal.com]

[dearmisterdarcy.livejournal.com]

In b4 everyone gets mad.

I see it as no different from when other boybands rip off their no doubt expensive shirts.

[darlita.livejournal.com]

betting a lot of those tshirts are more expensive than gd's smashed guitars lol

[darlita.livejournal.com]

LMAO

also those are probably cheap guitars that sounds like crap anyway so w/e

[fate-otaku.livejournal.com]

no they're not. $150USD each.

[ayumikoshiro.livejournal.com]

I like it

[noonasays.livejournal.com]

GOOD I'M GLAD I LOVE IT.

[babybluedream.livejournal.com]

was looking forward to the new choreography ):

today's guitar had a nice design tho lol

[miss-rianne.livejournal.com]

have been always been awed by YG quality performances but this time round i don't really get their logic.

guitar smashing ornot, it doesnt really affect BIG BANG beyond wonderful performance isnt it?

[shampoo.livejournal.com]

idg why the entire choreography/song would have to be redone just to omit some guitar smashing but ok

[canttakeabreath.livejournal.com]

because then everyone will know there's no actual ~rock influence~ in this song.

[bababerry.livejournal.com]

4 times a week, it's getting lame

[crazyxcami.livejournal.com]

don't worry. if they win at Inkigayo this weekend they have nowhere else to perform besides Music Bank & Music Core since they reached the Triple Crown for both M!CD & Inkigayo~ and thats the limit.

[canttakeabreath.livejournal.com]

YG trolls and fans are surprised? idgi

[xxmannequin.livejournal.com]

I have an idea,what about leaving the guitars home ,instead GD acting like he's playing them and later smashing them , - pointing the light on Dae when it's his turn to sing?It's one of his few lines,so it would be very much appreciated.

I translate "due to a variety of reasons" as "TOP found the new dance too confusing."

[0ddie13.livejournal.com]

Lol, this. When they announced new choreography I thought "oh no poor tabi =("

[blackstarnebula.livejournal.com]

The sun rises, the earth turns and YG continues to troll

[inchywermy.livejournal.com]

akp needs to work on how they close their articles
and big bang needs to work on how they close the song a lot in that song tbqh

[muffincrash.livejournal.com]

I love the guitar smashing, but I'm wondering about one thing : They said they buy new guitars : why in the world not use old, cheap ones ?

[vanhangels.livejournal.com]

They are cheap. I know that the cheapest one in costco goes around that price.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

Go smash..dishes or something like that!
Really, smashing guitars is such a waste :/

[hyungwhore.livejournal.com]

OT but I love your icon. Depapepe is love, and so rarely seen.

[swrighteous.livejournal.com]

lol ok
I was just looking forward to new choreo but, I dunno, the smashing neither adds nor takes away from the performance imo *shrug*

[jumpsama.livejournal.com]

whatever YG trolls, you say things you're not ready for it days before it's supposed to happen.

all those guitar-smashing crap makes me love my cheap guitar even more.

[snoozy.livejournal.com]

+1.
my squier seems so flashy to me rn

[numiempire.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it's a contract sort of thing. From the sound of it. If they changed the song (say if it was a remix) they could do this without repercussions but since it's the same song just a new section to choreograph it would be more money (way more then $150 per performance) to have Shaun come in and re-work his routine. Probably like charging for a whole new one. And if they're going to move on from Tonight within a month or two, it doesn't seem to make sense.

[sn0wtigressj0.livejournal.com]

voice of reason.

They are prepping to go to Japan soon right? And then immediately after working on the full album. Just let Big Bang smash their guitars...there is not point in being nitpicky over that, imo.

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

he could knock down the other members and leave the guitar unbroken -.-

[t-domination.livejournal.com]

I just want to see them do the other choreography .. the one they did @ the BB show and their practice.

[swallowedkey.livejournal.com]

Wait there's a difference between their live performances now and their practice?? What are the differences?! :O

[tofucakes.livejournal.com]

Waste of money, but at least they're wasting their own money.

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

They should have five watermelons at the front of the stage, then they should each grab a mallet and get all Gallagher with the audience.
