United Breaks Guitars

Full Story: http://www.davecarrollmusic.com/story/united-breaks-guitars – 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 didnt 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. Follow me at http://twitter.com/DaveCarroll . Video Produced by Curve Productions of Halifax, http://www.curveproductionsinc.com.

    Awesome video Sons of Maxwell I keep coming back to watch it. You’re not the only one you has problems with Delta. Today on Q on CBC Radio One there was a band who United lost a bunch of there equipment and they had to rent stuff so they could do there show tomorrow in Montreal. I’m thinking United Airlines is not the way to go.

  14. NEFARIOUSPURPOSE: …
    NEFARIOUSPURPOSE: Your post just seems to have disappeared; it hasn’t really. You can find it with an Edit –> Find — on each page — after selecting “View all posts.” It’s just that they don’t go back in order but VERY out of order.

  15. OccamsDisposable: …
    OccamsDisposable: I’m sure your post is still there. You have to click “View all posts” and then do an Edit–> Find (on every page!) in order to find it, but the pages aren’t in sequential order and jump around, making it appear posts have disappeared when they haven’t.

    Found it on page 8: lol – I’m with gothdude94, I can’t get enough of this song. Can’t get enough of Dave Carroll, either, for that matter. He is unbelievably easy on the eyes.

    United has not improved, it seems [et cetera].”

    NefariousPurpose, my post (quite a few days back) disappeared as well. Very odd, since all I said was, a) great song, b) good cause, c) and omigod the singer is a cutie. 8-)

    Contact Improveeverwhere and Fill a full plane with the the improvisational!

    Mosey down to go to the plane, and we break out in song…

    We are just singing…no guitars, no nothing, just passengers sitting like sheep but as we board we start singing!

    United….United….

    Too funny and the long past it barbies and the letches that are the alkie pilots would have to take notice.

    Then Obama will get involved, give away a guitar a beer and a new car….

    ohip25,
    Yo no creo que les estén haciendo ningna burla. Estuve averiguando, y la guitarra de Dave Carroll, su guitarra marca Taylo fue fabricada en México. Y es por eso que caraterizan a un grupo de mariachis, lamentando así una pérdida mexicana.

  22. Very good, a sweet …
    Very good, a sweet revenge for all of us who suffered the mistreatment of airlines. And as a citizen of a Latin country, Argentina, I don’t believe he is joking on Mexicans…

    Nice ideia to revenge on that air company :D

    Fuera de la burla que para variar nos hacen (lo digo como Méxicano), la cancion es fantastica y oh dulce venganza: arriba de 4 y medio millones de vistas…jejeje…
    Saludos.
