dlloyd Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Before watching this, I wasn't a fan of Metallica. After watching it.... eh.
AndyTravis Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Just now, Skybone said: Kirk is looking very old... He’s just stopped dying his hair 😂
Skybone Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Not bothered about his hair. His face is looking more like his old "Karloff" guitar graphic! 1
Burns-bass Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 On 25/03/2018 at 11:15, Skybone said: Kirk is looking very old... For 40 years in the music business, I reckon he's doing OK! Interesting interview, and he seems like a real gent to give up a load of his time and not bang on about his pedals (which has to be the reason whey he agreed).
4000 Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 Sacrilege. My favourite guitar in the hands of my least favourite guitarist. 😂 2 1
AndyTravis Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 I’ve been told that particular guitar is a bit of a pig… Also stood with Peter Green as he chortled at the Collectors Choice recreation we had on the wall in a shop… ah well. 1

Mickeyboro Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) I interviewed Gary Moore not long after he sold it and was told he would terminate the chat should it be mentioned ... Edited December 7, 2021 by Mickeyboro 1

As you’ll doubtless know, apparently Peter liked pristine guitars so I imagine wouldn’t have got the ‘recreation’ thing at all. I know he also used to complain about the original having a neck like a tree trunk (i.e. more of a ‘50s profile, unlike Clapton’s, which he liked and which had a thinner ‘60s profile, although others who have played it have actually said the neck isn’t that big). Somebody once asked him if he’d like the original back and he said “No. Look at the state of it!” Personally I think it’s probably the best-sounding guitar I’ve ever heard. It’s certainly the best looking IMO.
Kiwi Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Apparently just under 700 Les Paul bursts were made in 1959 but about a thousand are known to exist...(perhaps thanks to Ed Roman who offered to perform such surgery on original fifties goldtops!) Mainly thanks to people taking gold tops from the same year and having maple tops put on them along with a burst refinish. Some, like John Shanks, have suggested the gold tops sound better...! Rick Neilsen from Cheap Trick has a 59 with a stunning maple top on it. 1
fretmeister Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 I'm really glad that it is actually being taken out and played. I also enjoyed the meltdown when Kirk actually took it on tour with him. For years GM fans had been complaining that it wasn't getting used, and now they got upset that it was. Loved it! 1
merello Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Weird! Metallica end up playing live with the PG/GM Les Paul and Jaco's Jazz... 1
