Kirk Hammett shows Mark Agnesi his 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard "Greeny"

[@Carkshark]

I really admire how open Kirk is to allowing others to play his prized guitar

[@richardhill6640]

I’m really glad he got it. Love the fact he actually uses it.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

It's a relief he paid less than $500,000 for it. Cause at the end of the day - it's only a guitar. It's only worth what people want to pay for it.

[@kenjikodai]

I don't even listen to Metallica or know much about Kirk Hammett but genuinely seeing him so enthusiastic about guitars is so fun to watch. Like he's always curious about them and is truly a massive fan of them. I really like the guy after seeing the videos recently truth be told.

[@Barry101er]

Same here, for the most part - and he got me interested in Metallica

[@muriloninja]

Now if only he ever practiced and improved. Lol

[@rayfabris2512]

watch murder in the front row it tells the history of Metallica and other bands from that time in the SF BAY AREA in the late 70s and early 80s I was in San Jose starting my guitar playing at 14 I have a BAM magazine with Y&T on the cover in it is a Club advertisement of METALLICA Dave Mustaine their original guitar player check it out I was around those places and times and what a great time it was UFO, SCORPIONS, IRON MAIDEN and on there will never be that time again in fact the last time a the stone in palo alto was the last time UFO original members played in 96 or 97

[@rayfabris2512]

btw murder in the front row is on KZbin

[@monties9557]

I'm glad Kirk got greeny. He loves her. SO COOL.

[@nimitz1739]

Yep it’s where it belongs. And he plays it almost every night in front of thousands of people. Instead of it being locked up in some sleazy rich lawyers guitar vault collecting dust

[@jennifermontgomery680]

Should of been given to Joe bonamasda

[@alandeniston9229]

Kudos to Kirk ! This guitar has the mojo and needs to be played. Not sitting in a collector's closet or hanging on a wall at Hard Rock Cafe.

[@irageguitars]

Kirk said he’s got more guitars to show so I wanna see part 2 of Kirk Hammett guitar collection

[@BKDocHoliday]

Take a spin through the ESP room for us too! lol

[@Ottophil]

@@BKDocHolidayi don’t think they are seperated by brand. Its more like the gibsons are the ones he really plays in the studio, and the ESP’s are what he plays in front of people for money

It’s cool that he got it and is using it and is very proud of it.

[@MrJackrockerman]

He's a multi millionaire, great guitar player with a big name band Metallica. making history, making a remarkable guitar solo &riffs.. toured around the world.. So much experience.. And a great composer.. Selling million copies album and still continuing rock on a stage till now.. But he's still genuine,, enjoyable and humble human being.. What a great man.. Kirk you're the man.. ❤

[@johnnyboywonder]

You gotta love his enthusiasm for it.

So glad to Kirk has this guitar.

[@MsRocker961]

Well I guess Kirk answered my question. Greenie somehow makes it own fate and wants to be played ! It picks its owners ! Very cool

[@AFXAcid37]

It’s like the One Ring!

[@steveberti7060]

What a magnificent Les Paul It's like a Stradivarous

[@vegasdogg111]

I could listen to Kirk talk about anything, but hearing him talk about greeny is really cool. Don’t know when he turned into the cowardly lion but he still rocks.

[@jbbeaudry]

If you want to see a textbook example of "a kid in a candy store", any Kirk Hammett interview talking about guitars is one of them. I love the fact that such an iconic instrument is now being played live on stages around the world. I do remember when I saw Metallica for the last time, and Kirk was playing Greeny. I turned to my buddies, in awe, and said "damn, he's playing Greeny". They couldn't care less, probably like 97% of the audience, but it sure meant a lot for the remaining 3%. Thank you Mr Hammett for keeping that legacy alive.

[@NikkiHSG]

Yeah my Les Paul broke within 5 months of owning it and not only did the customer service ignore me, but they practically told me to screw off. Everyone I’d be cautious buying from them.

[@panagiotisexplorer213]

I’d like to see an interview with John Sykes and his collection

[@harryadam7679]

Kirk REALLY loves guitars. He’s not faking it. I fuckin love that

[@georgie5397]

For those who are wondering, he paid $ 420,000 for it. It was being sold for 450k but settled for 420k.

[@bryantcochran5065]

And you came up with that figure how?

Please enlighten us where you got that figure from…

[@jimmygillard]

@@Max_Kleiber Out of his arse. Kirk has never said how much he paid.

[@michaelrdangelo]

Ppl need to stop worry about how much it cost! Kirk's purchase of the guitar, along with the respect he's shown for its legacy, has likely increased its value (and lore!) tenfold !!

[@Max_Kleiber]

Agreed, just let him have it. I believe it’s in the right hands

[@michaelr.4878]

Love his playing or not, you have to admit that he is the perfect guy to own this guitar. His passion for it is undeniable.

[@glennclark6235]

Less than half a million is all he said

[@Danjoker.]

$499,999 😂

[@FadeDance]

He clearly still knows that it's a ridiculous price, probably even for him. That said, he actually sounds to be getting value and worth out of it. In his position, it's so easy to just be jaded and non-caring about material things, and he found something that still can make him panic and shed a tear if it gets damaged, just like someone buying their first nice guitar feels. Meanwhile, he could probably get an entire garage full of ridiculous cars and not feel half that or have half as much enjoyment from it. Good purchase.

[@bryantcochran5065]

Does it really matter what he paid? He's never going to sell it and it now has KH carved into the back.

[@pcar928fan]

Very cool interview. Love his view about that special guitar!

[@StuPedassol]

Gotta love Kirk

[@jimestooper1480]

I really love the respect he has for that guitar. He's absolutely right. Guitars want to be played.

[@BootsORiley]

You can really see and hear the passion he feels for it

[@f.duranleau4416]

Nice to see that Kirk really appreciate the famous "Greeny" Les Paul guitar. I do not know if Kirk is still using the Fractal Audio's Axe-Fx II XL+ modeling preamp paired with a Matrix GT1000FX-1U power amp for his LIVE gigs with Metallica...I find that all of Kirk's guitars sound the same through that amp set-up, including Greeny...

[@charlesrocks]

What a gem.

[@Michael-zt8rk]

The guy absolutely adores the guitar and plays it regularly. So much better this way than a collector buying it and locking it away in a vault. He treats it like an instrument, not an investment opportunity. The best thing though is the anount of salt from people going "he shouldnt have that guitsr, x or y or z should have it instead" 😂

[@legchyloyanishevskyyvolod3005]

You need to make a video of Knopfler's collection. He still has a lot of vintage Gibsons and Fenders to show, it would be epic video

[@gunterluber7882]

Greeny is Gary - Gary is Greeny! Kirk is the owner - nothing more.

[@toivonencresto]

Hope one day that Legendary instrument will return to someone who is really capable of producing its majestic tone. And... PLEASE, that will be FOREVER Gary's Greeny.

[@JordanDennisLeadingYouHome]

KIRK! One of the greats! And a awesome story about "Greeny".

[@christianboy5976]

Is it just me, or does anyone else want to know how much he paid for greeny? 🤔

[@Job.Well.Done_01]

After a lot of digging I e heard it was between $250,000- $270,000 usd

[@michaelharris2997]

So cool that he treats like a normal guitar and uses it all the time.

[@craigusselman546]

Love that Greeny is in a gig bag a working guitar awesome.

[@nico72]

I think something about 350 k $

[@bryantcochran5065]

The great thing about gibsons is they get better sounding as they age. Fenders don't seem to have as much of that. I know from my lp and strat that it really is s thing.

[@MsRocker961]

Hi . I want to know how a guitar like that even shows up on sale ! Kirk are you going to leave it to one of your children??? It’s weird how a guitar so famous just got bumped around . I do hope you keep it in your family ❤

[@tompaul2591]

Well, think of famous people giving them away. George Harrison gave his SG to Pete Ham of Badfinger. He gave his rooftop Telecaster to Delaney Bramlett. Clapton gave his Fool SG to Todd Rundgren. They do bounce around

[@davidhapka5410]

I respect how much reverence and joy Kirk has for this guitar. It's like a modern day Stradivarius. But I'm not a fan of Heavy Metal and Metallica. Greeny needs to be in the hands of a Jimmy Page or Peter Frampton.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

One day, eventually, we're going to see The Red Special going to someone. Perhaps Brian has already bequeathed it to someone, some organization, who knows. But if it ever hits the market, there won't be an instrument, guitar or other, that reaches the $ amount the The Red Special will demand. All the other iconic guitars, The Gilmour Collection included, put together won't be as much as it will command. It will be in it's own classification.

But it's his, which it's a legendary guitar but it's his now. He paid his own earned money to do whatever he feels. I pretty sure he just carved in it 2 make it his own & stamp it in his legacy which is his own right 2 do. It wasn't a family heirloom or stolen. So it's his right 2 do whatever he wants 2 it

[@waynegram8907]

@@antwanelynch87 He is NOT that great of a Rock guitarist or a blues Rock legend like SRV or Hendrix or Clapton or Jeff Beck that has created their own style and tone. He is just a guy that had a lot of money to purchase the guitar but that doesn't give him the right to vandalized it for others.
