    One of the greatest musical photographs ever has to be Pennie Smith's

    Seminal image of Paul Simonon smashing his guitar that went to grace the cover of the great London Calling.Here's my effort.I think you'll find it betters Pennie's by a country mile.

    Cover of the first Clash album isn't too bad, in fact. Shot in the ramp opposite what is now is now Cyberdog in what is now Camden market.

    I only mentioned it because I couldn't think of anything nice to say about your photo, I'm afraid. Obviously the Cinnamen photo is iconic etc, but it don't like seeing ****s smash their guitars. Horribly decadent imo.

    Imagine the impact of swinging a Les Paul over your head ans smashing it into the ground. It would break your ****ing wrists.

    Although the body and neck of the bass were damaged beyond repair, the smashed remnants were deemed important enough to be displayed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Ohio. The bass is now back in the possession of Paul Simonon.

    It's all the rage now to buy new guitars that look all beaten up to look like old guitars.
    I am not sure if I like them or not.
