@@2000jago I completely disagree with you that “Kirk Hammett is one of the greatest guitar players” of “our time”

The fact that the guitar actually gets played and we were able to hear it... vs it just being behind glass somewhere in a museum with a little placard with info is already a massive level of justice. This also makes me realize we rarely hear from Kirk. He should speak up more often.

He has a minor participation in the band than Jason. James is a control freak, and Lars ultimately. That's why they kicked out Dave, too much personality and creativity.

You have to love Kirk. He loves his instrument. Hes a true master.

So basically Kirk Hammett owns one of the greatest guitars of all time.

Thank you. For adding a few thousand dollars of equity to my 1991 R9 Gibson copy. I bought it back in 2000 for $800. I also have a Page R9, #1 still in the box!

What a great story.....and I love how James keeps ribbing Lars! 🤣

What a legend and what a guitar

Now I understand why I cried in the Unforgiven solo last year when they played in Buenos Aires: Kirk was using the greeny. I love Kirk

Love this content and also love them playing riffs in this setting because you can really see what they're doing❤ for a guitarist this is awesome

What a story! Awesome

I could have listened to this story for hours.. We need a doco done on this guitar...

the "greeny" sounds beyound awesome

It's very cool that this guitar has survived and continues to be played. What a history!

Looking at Greeny's pickups, the neck pickup is installed upside down. (you can tell from the orientation of the pole pieces) That would explain why it is out of phase with the bridge pickup.

@Squall6575

Its not just that, apparently the magnets were messed with as well during a maintenance. Its one of the reasons reverse engineering that middle sound had been so elusive over the years.

KIRK ,is to me one of the coolest and humble people on the planet. I get pissed because I feel he is highly, highly underrated. He is already a legend, just time will tell.❤❤❤❤❤

Most coherent Kirks ever been. Love it

FULL EPISODE PLEEEASEEE

What an incredible history as to the list of artists that have played that guitar!!

It's great Kirk plays it on stage. I mean it's been played Gary Moore for 30 years, among others. It's meant to be out there getting used.

My god, what a story that guitar has. Gary Moore, always a fave of mine

Kirk is very respectful regarding this guitar and also Peter which means a lot to all Peter Green fans. The instrument is in good sensible hands.

Its gorgeous !

WOW! The magic inside that guitar. I can't even imagine holding it much less playing it. Fucking cool. Thanks Howard

The legend, i love them 🤘 greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩

god damn the ones that played that guitar already, really a relic on rock n' roll music history, and it continues whit its life now, on metal, thanks to Kirk

I think we can all agree that this is the most we all have ever heard Kirk talk....EVER!!!

Thank you for this.

I love this band.♥️

Usually, with guitars, you need to play it yourself to understand why it's a great guitar, but with this one you can hear that tone and just get it.

That is an amazing sounding guitar. I can't explain it

Lars's reaction made it even more funnier.

Love early Fleetwood Mac Thanks for the jams Peter

Best interviewer in the Bizzzzz!

You can tell Kirk has knocked one out to this guitar bless him

Happy Birthday Kirkland 🎂

Kirk..favorite guitar player of all time

Kirk is such a sweetheart

Kirk is such a guitar geek!

....and now in the hands of the most iconic lead metal guitarist and riff masters of our time.

Amazing!❤

Holy shit, that guitar is basically a sacred relic now.

Beautifull❤guitar😎🔥and great story❤

Kirk went into a LOT more detail about acquiring Greeny on Dean Delrays podcast, Let There Be Talk. For anyone interested.

Kirk is super cool! He is himself to the fullest!

He's a blues rocker at heart

Brilliant 👏 What a Great Guitar sound 👌 😀 👍

Kirk is adorable hahha he loves what his doing so much . RESPECT

great story, love the 'Mac and Peter Green!

it does have its own timbre, but idont think the guitar's timbre matters much,i think it's the music that is the most important; however Kirk Hammett is at such a highest level, that he already appreciates those ultimate details with passion

One of the magical musical items in the world.

u can just add a push pull pot for phase switching or reverse the pickup. But given the history of the guitar, it’s a keeper 🎸
