Such was Andy Murray's fury inside the US Open's Louis Armstrong Stadium, the scene of his earliest defeat at the Grand Slams for five years, the DJ must have been tempted to play some death metal during the changeovers.
During a fourth-round match against South Africa's Kevin Anderson, Murray pulverised his racket as you might slay a guitar against a speaker, he carpeted the New York concrete with f-bombs, and he lost before the quarter-finals of a major for the first time since the 2010 US Open.
In the aftermath of any defeat at the majors, no elite player is ever going to be singing Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World', or any other jazz record, as they walk back to the locker-room, especially if they don't win a single point during the concluding fourth-set tiebreak. But it was important, amid all that white noise, feedback and destruction, for any observer, or Murray for that matter, not to give into nihilistic or overly negative thinking.
So Murray won't win a Grand Slam this year, continuing his 'blank' run since the 2013 Wimbledon Championships, and that streak of consecutive quarter-finals at the majors is now reset to zero, but let's not allow this result to obscure the reality this has been a hugely encouraging season for him. Why, it was just a couple of months ago that the tennis salon was in broad agreement that he was playing the best tennis of his life.
Murray, who last year was still regaining his strength after a back operation, has this season shown that he is still very much a contender for the biggest prizes in tennis. The runner-up to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, he also troubled the Serbian in the last four at Roland Garros, taking him to five sets and looking - who could have imagined this a few years ago? - like a possible French Open champion of the future. At Wimbledon he had the misfortune, in his semi-final, to be on the other side of the net from Roger Federer's sharpest serving performance for the best part of a decade.
Significantly, this summer also brought his first victory over Djokovic in two years, with that result coming in the Montreal final, and he touched the world No. 2 ranking again, if only for a week before Federer pushed him back into third.
It's not as if last night's was an inexplicable defeat. Anderson, who is 6ft 8in and uses every bit of his height, has a monstrous serve, but he also has some other shots, too. There were signs of his class at Wimbledon this year when he led Djokovic by two sets to love in the fourth round before succumbing in five. Anderson's serve seemed just that little bit faster on the second biggest stage at Flushing Meadows, which has a reputation for being a bit pacier than the Arthur Ashe Stadium. It's also a court that Murray has no great love for, in part because the run-backs are small, and he can feel a little hemmed-in.
Plus, Murray has played a lot of tennis of late, going from Roland Garros to Queen's to Wimbledon and then back to Queen's for Britain's Davis Cup quarter-final against France. He hardly had much of a break before starting his North American hard-court swing in Washington, and then travelling on to the Master-level events in Montreal and Cincinnati, before then rolling into New York.
One benefit of Murray's early departure from the US Open is that he will now have more time to prepare for next week's Davis Cup semi-final against Australia in Glasgow, when he will be hoping to take Britain into a first final since 1978. This autumn, he won't play the manic schedule that he did last season as he went in search of the ranking points he required to qualify for the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. This time, he can relax in the certainty he will be at The O2, having already qualified for a tournament restricted to the best eight players in the world.
The only doubt is when Murray's coach, Amelie Mauresmo, who is currently on maternity leave after having her first child, will return to her job. Could that be before the end of the year, or perhaps early next season in time for the next Grand Slam, January's Australian Open?
One development later in the year will be that Murray won't hold his annual off-season training camp in Miami, as by then his wife Kim, who is pregnant with their first child, won't be able to travel. So change is coming. But if Murray is anything like Federer and Djokovic, he will be energised by fatherhood. Expect plenty from Murray at the slams in 2016.
