They hired Slash to show his entire live rig to Mark Agnesi.

Mark, please do start the conversation, but damn boy, when Slash is talking don’t interject and interrupt him. To get this opportunity because of your new position, doesn’t mean you get to be a flunky and run at the mouth. Sit tight, ask the question, and get the fook out of the way. Thank you.

[@AudioReplica2023]

Not really cuz a lot of rock bands back then used Gibson guitars. Motley Crue , Aerosmith, Kiss,U2 , Metallica, GreenDay(the list can keep going)...just to mention a couple. But yeah since GnR was very famous ...more than any other rock band ...we can say that to a certain extend. Gibson was basically "the other side of the spectrum" on the guitar tones world. You could have any other guitar in the mix but the moment you introduce a Gibson with distortion or overdrive ...its over. 🤘🏽

[@DavidLumby]

Mark is really excited. He's got that crazy look in his eye.

The man himself doing the rundown! Is this the first time Slash has done so? Love this.

[@rmzzz76]

Slash is chill, Mark seems like he just did a line of blow. He's a talking over Slash and seems to be trying to a bit too hard to impress... someone. Either Slash or the viewer with his knowledge. Not a great soundcheck.

in 1966 my dad was that a gig there with some new band on stage. the lead singer lit up a joint and offered it to my dad who was 18 at the time. my dad wanted to be a rockstar and decided the dude on stage seemed quite awesome so my dad took the offered treasure and toked away. the band was the doors the singer was morrison. my dad is 70 something years old now and is probably smoking as I write this. the funny thing about it is in 2007 I was at the whiskey for Slash's book signing and jam, and I was talking to Mark all night. SLASH gets up there to play and there was at least a dozen people smoking cigarettes in that tiny club so I did what I always do, lit a joint. about halfway through it I get tapped on the shoulder and thinking someone wanted a hit I turned around to share and it was mark. he threw me out of the f'n club. talk about irony LOL

Can you tell us about the amps you are using? 3. Do you mind if my camera guy shoots your face and maybe your gear?... Not necessarily in that order.

Correct if i’m right: Gibson did give him two ‘87 standard (the 3 piece top Honey Burst, the one With the cigarette burn, and another 2 piece top with a veeeeery light cherry, both plain top) that he used live to let his beloved replicas at home. Now he doesn’t tour the ‘87 standards anymore, and... there’s only one remaining of the two, because the light cherry one (not the one with the cigarette one) has been stolen too, right?

Notice how close the strings are to the pickups. Interesting to see the guitars up close. Also noticed he doesn't screw the tailpiece down tight to the body, it's raised a bit.

[@johnwattdotca]

A Mohawk band-leader hired me in 1977, and years later he hunted me down because he promised me the first chance to buy his 1957 Les Paul, with the original receipt, booklet, pick, strap and case. That was a nice chance to get back together and share our sadness about selling it for personal reasons. He phoned a California agent and Slash bought it, saying it was his most important guitar. Why didn't I have a chance, or actually, not want it? I'm left-handed, playing my own Strat-style guitar. It wouldn't have been right to buy it just for the pickups. I almost did.
