Today, I went in my room to play my guitar. I found my Les Paul on the floor with all the strings missing. I later found out my grandma cut them off because I was playing "Devil's Music." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while tuning my bass guitar, I noticed a very strange screeching sound. I leaned over to look behind the neck. The biggest string snapped off and cut the side of my face. FML
Today, I had to babysit my dying grandmother, so I brought up my guitar. She hadn't said anything to anyone today, and the first thing and only thing she said was, "Stop. Make it stop" to me when I played. FML
Today, my sister was playing a rock star in a play. When she got home, she told me she used one of my old guitars, because I told her it was ok. I said she could take one to practice on, not destroy on stage. FML
Today, I finally had enough to buy my dream guitar, made in 1965. I buckled it into the passenger seat because it unfortunately didn't come with the original case. Once home, I tripped over my own feet before reaching my front door and scratched it on the concrete. It wasn't in mint condition when I bought it, but now it looks like it had a bad relic job. FML
Today, I was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML
Today, my house was broken into. How? My mom left a key under a flower pot on the porch. She also left a note on the door saying so. He stole all of my guitars. FML
Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML
Today, I was told by my neighbors that my guitar playing sounded a dying cat. FML
Today, my girlfriend and her mother bought a hanger for my $2000 guitar as a birthday present. They wanted to surprise me by hanging it on the wall. They screwed it upside down, so before I came home it fell off and my guitar broke. FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML

I don't think Grandma's familiar with the Golden Rule. I say you steal her knitting needles. That'll show her.

Dude, seriously that sucks. But I agree with #154, thank god she didn't like rip out the pickups or something. Some grandmas just don't understand the beauty of rock n roll.

I HAVE PROOF SHE DAMAGED THE ACTUAL GUITAR!!! It says in my Gibson owners manual, that you should NEVER have all the strings removed at the same time. Here's a quote from the manual on the subject of strings: "When changing strings, we recommend changing one string at a time in order to maintain tension on the neck and bridge. The pressure of the strings holds the bridge and saddles it in place, and removing all the strings could necessitate a new setup." See? The crazy religious bitch DID damage the guitar! It's in the manual on page 21.

WTF??? Devil's music??? Well it depends on what song ur playing. If u were playing an ordinary rock song then she is stupid. It even states in the Bible that God likes art. Your Grandma is a terrible Christian if you playing any song besides an anti Christ song. btw, I'm not christian but I have to go to a christian school

I voted that your life sucks, but you have a Les Paul. You have either rich parents or a fuckload of money. Quit bawwwwwing so much about it and tell your grandma to pay for the damages. 10 dollars for new strings. If you need your truss rod fixed, then she should pay for that also. Christianity, just like all of the Abrahamic religions, is false because it is based off of the delusional belief that a god exists.

FYL, Man. People never understand that "Devil's Music" is just a genre of music, not a f**king religious debate.

Lawl. I have the best of both worlds. I play a Les Paul, and play in a worship band for my youth group. No cut strings here har har. :p Strings don't even cost that much, so quit crying and spend the $5 on a new set of Ernie's.
