A Halifax band is using the power of the Internet in its fight against corporate giant United Airlines over a broken guitar.
Dave Carroll of the band Sons of Maxwell is still battling the airline over an incident in the spring of 2008, when he alleges that his guitar was broken on the way from Halifax to Omaha.
He says luggage handlers heaved his guitar and his band mate's bass during a stop in Chicago, and when he got off the plane, he discovered the guitar was badly damaged.
After getting nowhere with customer service, the band turned to the Internet and posted a catchy song on YouTube called United Breaks Guitars (video below).
The song has gone viral and has been viewed about 150,000 times since being posted on Monday.
Mr. Carroll says his goal is to get one million hits and the band has two more anti-United songs in the works.
“I've been done ‘being angry' for quite some time and, if anything, I should thank United. They've given me a creative outlet that has brought people together from around the world,” Mr. Carroll says on the band's website.
“We had a pile of laughs making the recording and the video while the images are spinning on how to make United: Song 2 even better than the first. So, thanks United”
