[@alexbuckley7738]

Justin’s concern about the binding on Hammett’s Les Paul is such a Nigel Tufnel comment. Exquisite.

[@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain]

It was confusing. Seemed like an oversight.

[@thomasconrad2630]

Exactly! At that moment along with.."Tony Iommi is a lefty?" I had to check out the comments and first one I saw was yours....I was definitely thinking it was a Spinal Tap moment lol!

[@MetalmcBiff]

⁠​⁠@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgainHi Justin! I think Kirk’s a bit of a special case as far as metal is concerned. This is the guy who owns the famous Greeny guitar, will gladly wear bespoke purple glitter sneakers, etc. on stage. As he’s gotten a bit older, he seems to overall favour more stock finishes on his instruments than during the late 80’s to later 00’s. Straight black is out and accent colours/glitter is in, as far as Hammett is concerned, it seems.

[@peterellman9672]

see look. in here there's a little guy. and in here, there's no one.

[@NinjaRunningWild]

@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgainWhite binding always looks best. Nothing confusing about it.

[@S-T-E-V-E]

Justin Hawkin's dry British sense of humour is totally lost on Mark Agnesi! 😂

[@blodpudding]

Idk about Mark here. Sure he's not really the most high energy guy but damn gotta be some jet lag here 😅 Justin is so cool though, he being in one of the early Pat Finnerty "What Makes This Song Stink" is such a random great thing and The Darkness rocks

[@hammill444]

Lots of things are lost on Mark Agnesi

[@eric_in_florida]

Lost on me too. Would rather just see Mark do a run thru.

[@stevegamiello6476]

Is it British humor? Or are they just idiots?

[@brucecall1595]

Or..... He's to cool for school americano😅

[@timmypix]

Love that almost every sentence out of Justin's mouth is either a joke or playing dumb and Mark is just taking everything at face value.

[@shooterx9690]

It’s awkward and cringy though that dynamic

[@mowogfpv7582]

​​@@shooterx9690 only for Mark...

[@kengibbens5059]

Doesn't realize he's taking the piss

[@fatjeff8083]

Someone gotta be the straight man…

[@jerrybanley7695]

Mark looks constipated, and annoyed with his own existence.

[@mason0316]

Justin is SO full of sarcasm! LOL Can't help but love the guy! Mark is struggling........ 😆🤣😂😅

[@Whiteyholmes08]

Colonists got tired of dry British humor back in 1776…

[@NinjaRunningWild]

I think he's just refusing to engage it. I've had coworkers & employees that try to turn everything into a joke. It gets _exhausting_ especially when you're trying to get things done.

[@cbcacbca]

​@@NinjaRunningWild, i think Marks boring delivery prompted Justin to turn it into a bit of a joke.

[@armchairthis7664]

The Flying Vs actually flying 😂 Really cool interaction with the Darkness boys.

[@tomarmstrong887]

Mark Agnesi looked like a father panicking when his kids are in a china shop.

[@laurentiustratan7488]

Justin Hawkins reminds me of Ritchie Blackmore in his prime. Dry, witty, halfway offensive British humour. What a legend! Mr. Agnesi tried his best to keep his composure dealing with jet lag and a suprise Spinal Tap reboot. Was a delight to watch ❤😂

[@luis6285]

Nice seeing Gibson featuring youtubers now. That reaction guy is definitely going places with his brother

[@nicolajjensen5651]

😂😂😂😂

[@tomi-jon8798]

Great comment 😅

[@InspirationSessions]

He believes in a thing called love as well, apparently, which is nice

[@chrisashleywastaken]

Yeah, this new KZbinr is really growing on me

[@MarkFeaGuitar]

😂😂

[@adam-yk6yd]

I love how Justin’s jokes sail over Mark’s head 😂😂😂😂 proper odd couple. Love them both though and the garage looks incredible - can’t wait to visit when I’m next in Landan Taaan 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@denverrandy7143]

People can say what they want about Gibson these days...But damn they are killing it with the Garages.

[@hammill444]

Not killing it with the actual guitars. But the garages. Sounds about on brand

[@shable1436]

They charge enough for their gear, they sure have plenty to throw around

[@dodgedandle8311]

They all seem to be about £2-£300 more from here than anywhere else 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@bloc01]

Gotta pay for these garages somehow!@@dodgedandle8311

[@Cancel_Vulture]

What's up with their guitars?! Stop criticizing things because you can't afford them. Gibson's Quality is definitely unmatched no other brand gets close.

[@beyondasphalt8879]

This is one step away from Spinal Tap dialogue. Congratulations on the new location!

[@peterellman9672]

not even a step. we are there

[@JohnPArgueta]

This is awesome. The fact that you can get a high end Gibson or a regular Epiphone to a Kramer all in one joint is awesome. Congrats to @gibson & London. 🤘🏼

[@JuliusMas-bz6my]

I love that Slash is almost always mentioned every time the topic of Les Pauls comes up. Legend!❤

[@InspirationSessions]

They did very well not to mention Dave Grohl when talking about the Trini Lopez 335...

[@hgwtube1]

slash plays copies of les pauls... sorta like gibson pretends to be a guitar company.... and if he plays an actual gibson in concert or recording, you can bet it has nothing to do with anything gibson sells to the public

[@misfit1829]

Dan rocking “in the air tonight” nice touch lol

[@badtonestudio]

Yes! The Hawkins brothers are great Gibson ambassadors. Love The Darkness, and have always admired their tone, playing and humor.

[@KfirOchaion]

I had Spinal Tap vibes for 22:09 minutes

[@Stem667]

3:03 is definitely a Spinal Tap moment

[@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain]

Ace!

[@samiam5557]

17:15 the "toilet" LOL

[@TomatePasFraiche]

Wow Kfir is here! אין עליך

[@joshdennis1]

Colour blind 😂

[@jonkerr2050]

Seriously Congratulations Mark. I’ve been watching you since I started getting into guitars. You taught me most of what I know about guitars and their history. And I have the deepest respect for anyone who goes out of their way to help educate people.

[@mjimenez555]

Awesome! Thin Lizzy’s guitar gods deserve something special over that place!

[@ashleighellison9509]

Gibson needed to take things forward and do something special. They've absolutely nailed it, every aspect of the garage has been carefully thought of and offers something that no other guitar brand offers. This is why people play Gibson, they sincerely want every player to enjoy the guitars and be a part of the family. Connection is almost certainly Gibsons ethos and that is why the spirit of the brand lives on. Gibson guitars have a soul, an energy that once realised, is hard to go back on.

[@PanamaJack666]

Amazing, can't wait to check it out! Glad you got the Darkness boys in. Justin is such a likeable character!

[@jimmygillard]

Wasn't expecting the Darkness lads when I clicked on this video, pleasant surprise. Love Justin's yt channel.

[@P3t3rPizzarelli]

AC/DC are going back out in Europe. We want to see a collection video on some of Angus's SG's, apparently he's got over 100 in a vault somewhere. No one has done more for that guitar or played Gibson more exclusively. You guys are the only people that could do it!

[@smiley4288]

Thanks Gibson…It’s awesome to have this in London on my doorstep ❤️‍🔥 Mark and his passion for the brand is such a huge bonus for Gibson….🤘😎🤘

[@RonWood6]

This Guy knows how to please us Guitarists! Well Done.

[@bertgetner9397]

You guy's did an awesome job on the new hang. Very cool! Thanks Gibson and Mark for the tour!

[@babagadoush1]

Hawkins is a neat dude. Nice job Mark and team!

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

Really have come to appreciate Justin and his Justin ness.

[@sdelling1]

1st, that was awesome! 2nd, Justin’s comfort in bar shows that is is possible to be happy in recovery. Love you all!

[@gregrandallbtsr03]

Wow. Thanks so much for the tour of this amazing space. Looking forward to visiting on my trip to the UK in about a year. Peace

[@rayfabris2512]

Mark and Gibson hit a home run with the Gibson garage UK too cool that garage is awesome I got my first Gibson Les Paul at Nashville and love it she's a high maintenance guitar but it Rock when I want to keep Rockin Gibson

[@jefftucker201]

Awesome, loved the laid back\chilled energy. Must get down to the Garage soon as I can!!

[@ReneJacq]

That clash of cultures. Lovely.

[@archer4556]

Awesome, thanks for the tour Mark

[@Les537]

Thanks for the tour, boys. Rock on.

[@federicoetchelecu3629]

Such a smart move! That store will smash it

[@waxman9550]

One of my favorite bands and awesome spot !

[@walterlacayo6503]

Very , very, very , cool. Glad to see Gibson ahead of the game. Rock n Roll people, I couldn't change them if I could. Tell everybody you know , you've got the Rock n Roll Soul.

[@oaboxer]

What a heavenly place!

[@wfmeredith]

This place just looks like heaven to me can't wait to go!!!

[@jimwguitar3002]

Another reason to visit London. I’ve been to the Nashville garage and loved everything about it. I even got a personalized truss rod cover. 👍

[@metalmick]

This is worth a trip to London from deepest darkest Norfolk.

[@duffbaker9554]

Norfolk, as in the east of England?

[@Nyquest]

The UK/USA comedy divide right there. Mark just not getting Justin, starts looking a bit pissed off hahaha.

[@EJH-jn6mo]

Please do not make mark the poster boy for the US humor

[@larsheuker]

​@@EJH-jn6mohe may not be but the general humour is defenitly showing a disconnect its pretty funny to witness cultural difference. Alot of british people like sillyness

[@NinjaRunningWild]

@@larsheukerPeople who like to just get things done find that silliness annoying.

@@NinjaRunningWildtruest comment here

[@Cfolger]

I love the brothers hawkins, I've been blessed to see them twice in the last 2 years(front row) and I've never had so much fun at any other show as theirs!!

[@ZuzuTheLemon]

I'd love to see some Gibson demo videos with the Hawkins brothers, the Marshall ones Dan does occasionally are always great.

[@Heavenreck]

Looks Amazing can't wait to visit. Great that this is in London

[@trufflehuffer]

I almost had a “When Harry Met Sally” moment as I watched this on the train to work 🤩😍🥰 Definitely the first stop on my next UK trip! 🇬🇧🎸🎶❤

[@christopherguzzi1316]

Alright already. Time to give Dan, Justin and Frankie signature Gibson's.

[@adamstrachn]

Great walk through of the London location with The Darkness. The Kramer room was themed so well! Wicked vibes!

[@nicometal85]

I was at the London thursday ! Merci from France !!! great experience and place .

[@tallpaul69]

Visited today. Fantastic place. With shops in the high street closing up left right and centre, it's so good to see. Staff were so friendly. Gave me a big smile.Wanted one of them stools but not for sale. Lol.

[@xoxb2]

Wonderful - thank you for coming to London. It looks like a very creatively designed space. I'm now trying to work out which building it used to be ...

[@LanceJean02]

Wow Mark, it's about time! Nice job!!

[@AdvenuringTime]

Love bringing Gibson to London!

[@marklewis35]

Love Justin and Dan 😃 That place looks amazing, I can't play a note but I could easily spend hours in there just looking at all the different guitars.

[@riheg]

Can’t wait to visit.

Cant wait to visit tomorrow!!

[@dmatt1116]

Great video and love the variety of products. Such a cozy looking space!

[@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328]

Amazing space! Just remember gushing over these exercises in opulence before complaining about the next price hike.😊

[@basildog007]

I have a new found respect for Kramer. Great room!

[@Ervin-1190]

Damn, it's looking awesome. I love the interior downstairs, gives it such cool vibes.

[@paul_domici]

What a fantastic art gallery!!!!

[@RowdyGrunt]

To the host, I enjoy the way you conduct yourself in a setting like this. I will watch whatever you put out on guitars based upon how you made this so entertaining and interesting. Well done sir. Especially those quick-witted clever comments. It has its moments, made me laugh harder than I would have expected to have.

[@markgatland977]

Oooh, I'll definitely have to pop in here!

[@joaobrandi365]

Great episode, the custom room is pretty awesome, and that Pub!! Got to love the humor from the brothers. …clock and it’s time to rock Both Mark and Justin couldn’t hear anything after Dan played the drums 😂 Congrats!

[@Richard_Lush]

Open one up in every major city. Now that would be awesome. This was such a good business model. Kudos to Mark!

[@Arthagnou]

and then there wont be any guitar shops....

[@J.C...]

No way. That would water down the experience and make it run of the mill. Nothing special.

[@Channel-io1di]

​@J.C... ya completely unsustainable. This is like Disney world and Disney land. Any more would be impossible.

[@davemenard5089]

Was just waiting for them to play!

[@VoiceofFox]

I went there yesterday (24-02-24) when it opened to the public. It’s very cool. The 20 Noel Gallagher Les Paul Customs sold to just about the first 20 people through the door and Cesar & Mark were there to thank them. Great selection of merch too - I bought one of those mahogany clocks made from offcuts - they were flying off the shelf. Mark’s a good egg - he was happy to speak to customers, pose for photos, and especially kind to the youngsters. Will be fun to call in now and again and see what unique Custom Shop models they have in. Now if only I could worm my way into that secret bar…

[@burnsZY85]

That place is amazing.
