United Breaks Guitars – “My God, They’re Throwing Guitars Out There”

July 8, 2009 by anne

So musician Dave Carroll is sitting on a United Airlines flight waiting for takeoff and a passenger behind him cries out, “My God, they’re throwing guitars out there.” Sure enough, at the plane's destination, Carroll’s $3500 Taylor guitar is DOA.

After nine months of buck passing United Airlines finally refused to pay the $1200 repair bill and Caroll promised to write three songs and post them to YouTube to memorialize his experience with United. Dave Carroll is a man of his word - video of the first song is below.
