HALIFAX - Halifax musician Dave Carroll's online fight with United Airlines has entered Round 2 with another YouTube video.

Carroll turned to the Internet after having his $3,500 custom-made guitar broken during a flight with United and getting no recourse from the airline.

He wrote a song about it, called "United Breaks Guitars," and the accompanying video went viral online, and has since been viewed almost five million times on YouTube.

Carroll also got calls from media outlets around the world to be featured on the likes of CNN and CBS.

He promised the song was actually just part one of a trilogy about his broken guitar and the second part was posted on Monday.

Carroll says the latest video was a much bigger production, involving nearly 100 extras and was filmed in high definition.
