United Airlines Breaks Guitars: Music Video!

I'm passing this along because I feel it's a worthy cause.

Check out the Music Video:


United Airlines Song Background (short version)

In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didn’t deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say “no” to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise.

Oh crap... they did that to Dave Carroll?

[Twist Rolarian]

Who the hell is Dave Carroll? I've never heard of him.

And if he had done his proper research, he would have known beforehand that United has a history of this and to not be dumb enough to fly United.

PAB- Just google "Untied Breaks Guitars" or "Youtube United Breaks Guitars"... you should get the lovely music video.

Yes. Yes they did. They also did it to Abney Park (who posted the video link in their LJ, which is how I saw it)... bastages.
