A handful of travelers flying out of Ontario International Airport on Wednesday got to see something people don’t usually see once they pass TSA screening: a rock star smashing a guitar.

Paul Stanley of Kiss did the honors with bandmate Gene Simmons looking on.

The occasion was a “christening” of their Rock & Brews restaurant and other eateries in the airport’s Terminal 4.

“There’s an art to breaking a guitar. Before you do this, call your chiropractor,” Stanley said before he slammed the guitar against cinder blocks draped in black cloth. It took him two swings to separate the body from the neck.

Airport president Alan Wapner got his own axe to demolish and got it on his first try.

Airport officials and Inland leaders were on hand to get selfies with the rock stars and with Simmons and Stanley have made several trips to the Inland Empire in the last couple of years to promote Rock & Brews, which is also in San Manuel Casino in Highland, Rancho Cucamonga, and Corona.
