[@rheinhardtgrafvonthiesenha8185]

Really? My opinion on him has kind of changed over the years. I always saw him as the cool one cause Axl was such a dick but he’s become kind of a carpetbagger. The signature Slash eds double neck? Is Jimmy Page, Alex Lifeson and Don Felder all dead. The Söash Les Paul Junior? Did he look at one once or something? I get it from Gibson‘s point of view. If they determine a Slash Junior would sell better than a Leslie West Junior than that’s what they’re gonna do. It’s on Slash to kind of have some shame. The guy will put his name on anything for a few bucks, plugs stuff constantly whenever he talks. I find him offputting at this point.

[@user-lv7ph7hs7l]

​@@michaelpacinus242 Reading his biography, I decided to never try oxycontin. After 20 years of heroin he described it as the best thing he'd ever experienced and as he hsd gotten a pace maker he realised he could take huge amounts of it and if he OD'd the pace maker would just restart the heart. I think after the third one was installed his doctor had long talk with him and since then he's laid off a little on the heavy opiates.

Slash having Joe's burst is well documented. If you look at older interviews with Slash and Joe, it turns out Joe asked Slash for it back multiple times, even offered cash for it, but Slash didn't for one reason or another, to the point where Joe stopped asking otherwise it would ruin their friendship. But yeh, Slash did eventually gift it to him which was really nice of him as Joe is his hero, but it wasn't a simple case of Slash acquiring it and heading straight to Joe's house to give it him.

[@oldfriend327]

Thank you so much for this Gibson and our best regards to Mark. For the guitar/techies out there... There is still a lot of mystery here and a cult following with that red Mockingbird. I've been studying that guitar for 31 years ever since it was first seen in the 1991 "You Could Be Mine" video with Arnold at The Ritz. Slash says here it came with a Floyd Rose when he bought it. I remember very clearly though reading an interview with him during the Use Your Illusion Tour that when he first bought it, it had a Khaler tremelo and that he had someone route the body out to modify it for a Floyd Rose. It was a big deal for all the teenage shredders at the time to see him with a guitar other than a Les Paul at the time and all of a sudden BC Rich was popular again. Out of all the great knowledge and questions Mark has (we love you Mark) he didn't have Slash clear up the long-standing mystery as to whether or not this Mockingbird with Floyd Rose here is in fact the same Mockingbird that originally had the Khaler that was used in the "You Could Be Mine" video with Arnold. It's not just me either... There are so many Slash and BC Rich fans who have wanted to see Slash authorize an exact replica of that guitar. A lot of people say in these online guitar forums say "BC Rich already has one and it's called the 'SL' model." That 'SL' model though is nowhere close to his. Too many specs to list, just for one though, his has a maple neck, not Mahagony.

Through studying music more as I've gotten older I am even more blown away today by his solos and compositions - how everything he does serves the song perfectly... His tone, his unique vibrato, his blend of classical sounds with blues. When he released the solo Slash album with the guest singers, I was absolutely blown away by those songs as instant rock classics. So cool. Nobody sounds like Slash! great video!

This video is as awesome as I’d hoped it would be, seeing the love and the care for the instruments and the respect for their history that Slash has plus an interviewer who actually lets Slash talk is amazing. Thanks Gibson! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Also just to note I loved your interview and guitar collection vid with Dweezil, I’m a huge Frank fan and to see and hear the history of those axes was awesome too!

[@gibsonguitar]

Thanks for watching

[@joshgriffin5293]

Dude! I’ll hang out with Slash all day any day and let him geek out about guitars! Great episode. Definitely some real gems there.

[@Karlgolden]

Grabbing some beers and this is my Saturday evening sorted!! Can’t wait 😍😍🔥🔥

[@anderaparicio9748]

Slash is genuinly a great guy, an inspiration for all us us guitar players, and in my opinion the last of the real guitar heroes. The thing I love the most is that he keeps getting better with the years, his guitar playing nowadays is insane and the Conspirator records are up there with any of the early Gnr, as Snakepit or Velvet where too. Great episode and fuking great collection!! Keep em coming!

[@the.communist]

Genuine great guy? I see, do you know him personally?

[@JamesDeanLP]

I would disagree with your claim that he is one of the last great guitar hero’s I think that he is one of the last of that generation There have been a lot of great guitars hero’s after slash Kurt Cobain Jack white Tim Henson Are some of the notable ones Definitely not the same kind of guitar hero as jimmy Page or David Gilmore but definitely have and will have a huge impact on music and the guitar community

[@prabhavghoshdastidar8639]

John Mayer is a great hero he's better than everyone he's a complete guitarist who can blues,rock,jazz and literally any genre.He's a versatile guitarist and a great one indeed

[@prabhavghoshdastidar8639]

And secondly I don't think Kurt Cobain belongs in the great guitarists list honestly though you can definitely include RHCP's guitarist

[@benjaminfowler4513]

@@prabhavghoshdastidar8639 how many people picked up guitar because of Kurt you think? I know I did and I'm sure thousands of others did as well

[@rothkoVEV0]

Shoutout to Mark's Leather jacket for being present in all of marks interviews

[@ndon85]

that was great! thank you Gibson TV and Slash for making this video for the rest of us!

[@LexPlaysMusic]

You can tell that compared to other interviews, Slash really wants to talk about these. He's excited and comfortable and opens up in a genuine way.

[@PDXguitarfreak]

I usually don't watch hour long videos, but I just couldn't stop listening to this. What a collection. 🎸❤

[@paulcross149]

Loved this. Great way to spend a Sunday morning. Peace and love Slash and Mark xx

[@peterhanabadi8439]

love to see this, grew up listening to Slash and is the reason why i play guitar today, such a humble man!

[@christopherweise438]

What a solid dude, and you can tell he's a gear guy. Not all of the icons are. This rocked.

[@Gma7788]

The dude isn't the problem. The problem is the middleman retailer. The middleman screws you and you never get these things. Every single one of these things are all hidden away, never to be seen ever again.

[@christopherweise438]

@@Gma7788 - Except.....we just saw them. 🙄

[@Followyourlight420]

It’s great to know that Slash actually uses his collection. You hear about these beautiful axes sitting in a closet for decades, never to be played. My opinion is, if they hold a tune, and play…use them. That’s why they were made. Bravo Slash!!

[@leeow3n]

So glad you shared that super valuable and incredibly important opinion on how guitars should be used, despite the controversial tone you said it in a comment section, and that takes a rare courage.

[@Followyourlight420]

@@leeow3n thanks Lee. I think the builders of the guitars would agree as well. The stories of those who have enjoyed these beautiful examples is the real value. Viva la musica!!

[@stratobubz]

That was EPIC!! Thanks for doing this!! I was mesmerized for a solid hour!!

[@fishingfreak9734]

All I can say is WOW !! Slash shows great respect to his gift and for those that inspired him. This is a great documentary, thx Gibson.

[@tlgptru6864]

For decades most of the les Paul standards are sold because of Slash. We love you man, thank you for inspiring so many guitar players all around the world. Proud to be a member of Slash and Gibson les Paul army

[@miguelramosgtr]

We need a part 2!! This was AWESOME

[@EmilJonsson94]

So amazing. Could listen to Slash and Mark for hours and hours...

[@williamdossett1397]

Always been my favorite guitarist. A feel player from the beginning of it all. Slash has motivated me and inspired me through all of my years. 🎸🎸🎸 keep rocking slash.

[@Showerlover]

I was 15 when I first saw videos of Slash playing these amazing guitars. Thats the reason i went and bought a cheap one and started learning. Now im 30, can play all my favorite songs and I have had so many good moments and memories just because of those videos, Slash and these Gibsons. I feel like an old man but great.

[@John-rambo84]

Good to see mark still around. Miss him on Norman’s rare guitars

[@KVerseVibe]

Meeting slash is gonna be a dream for me and I got into rock n roll because of him and appetite album thank you for this awesome video 🖤

[@DrJeebles]

Part of me thought there was s chance it would be all Les Pauls. At this point Mark may have handled more Korinas than anyone alive. Also, opening the empty case was one of greatest The Collection moments thus far.

[@alexguitar841]

Damn huge respect for asking Slash about his BC Rich guitars on a Gibson channel. They're super cool guitars in their own right.

[@216trixie]

/ just brought it up. But then did you notice the edit right after that, just before he would have talked about that Les Paul copy that he had made, they jumped over to jessica.

[@alexguitar841]

@@216trixie yeah but they also talked extensively about the derrig guitar, which is his 59 replica... So 🤷???

[@usuallyclueless4477]

And the Fender.

[@phoenixjim0527]

Gibson does the same in other interviews too. Integrity.

[@obifuntoknowme]

Really enjoyed this. What a cool, humble guy Slash is, so down to earth

[@Arientis]

This is very fascinating from a very novice guitar historian standpoint. So much history from Slash and I can appreciate the craftsmanship and tones described. Excellent video

[@w13rdguy]

If you've ever aspired to become a legend, this is how you act when you get there. Thanks, Slash🤛🤛✌️

[@KrisBarocsi]

Everything about this episode is just awesome. Thanks for this unique experience Mark, Slash and the whole film crew. You guys rocked this hard!

[@swordfish1120]

This video was a real treat. Thanks for posting this one. 👍🏽

[@potterman83]

The Derrick burst was definitely the best moment haha loved that the Gibson decided to include it in the episode

[@rexrathtar3893]

That 59 darkburst is just unreal.

[@frobonito2968]

His sound is one of a kind! Especially the way he approaches guitar the tone is just complimentary. Cool seeing all the guitars he uses, a testament to Gibson’s strong ass repertoire

[@Barshonk]

My first experience with a Gibson was getting to play Jeff Watsons red Les Paul in Kelly Keagy's home recording studio in his attic, this was in the late 1980s. I think I was 16. My uncle George (original bass player for Kenny Loggins) was Kelly's roommate and I was there for a weekend visit. A few weeks later, I received a cassette tape in the mail from Kelly and he had recorded all the Night Ranger stuff for me. Its a very cool memory to have.

[@alteredstate07]

I just spent the hour and 13 minutes with a big smile on my face, thanks for that !! Love to Slash.

[@wesleymorris1]

This was awesome, one of my heros with awesome guitars. Everytime I pick my Les Paul, I think of slash. One of the first music videos I watched over and over, November rain. One of the first cassette tapes I ever had. Was guns and roses, so many memories. Blessed by slashes genius.

[@rowdy3837]

I would love to see a Joe Bonamassa and Slash collaboration. Even if it’s just the two of them talking guitars. The two greatest Les Paul players of my lifetime.

[@chubbydickschopshop]

Mark always does the best interviews. This is probably the best! Thanks

[@R.H.bladeNshade]

This is my second time watching. Just the vibe, the fact that it’s Slash…the lighting and the flow of the conversation….its almost therapeutic because of the way slash speaks.

[@endyprasetyo4479]

Every time the guitar enter the case, Slash reach the lock, and locked it. He really appreciate his guitars. Very nice gesture. Great video!

[@moonvals]

If only Slash would read this comment and see how much he influensed my life back in the very early 90’s. I am a guitarist and a guitarteacher because of him and Guns n Roses

[@michaelcox6597]

He is the reason I went and bought my first guitar. I love my Gibson Anaconda Burst Slash model 🤘🏻❤️🎩

[@Gma7788]

The real slash guitars offered for sale have always been out of reach and the scum who import them into Australia, deliberately limit the quantity and the middlemen buy them all and hoard them in storage and they never see daylight or a stage or a studio. Unobtainable.

[@kineasx]

Slash influenced hundreds of thousands of people to take up the guitar, if not millions (including myself). I'm sure he knows.

[@jasonwright7513]

Wow that was a fast 1 hour and 13 minutes. Really enjoyed that seeing all his guitars and hearing the history if anyone deserves them he does.

[@GaryNorth1]

Stumbled across this video a couple of weeks ago, and then saw him play live the very same night. Great to know the stories behind the guitars as he changed them for almost every song. Right to down to seeing the cigarette burn lol.

[@moreblack]

Historic, probably heard most of these in action thru the shows and the albums all these have been on.

[@HotRailCo]

Love companies that show off other brands and show their appreciation for them instead of looking at them as a competitor. Gibson will always be my favorite!

[@jamief.8406]

This is a privilege and a blessing to be watching. I love this brilliant man.

[@gregrose6915]

Simply awesome, The best in the series so far. What a down to earth genuine human. Great jobs Mark, you have a dream job. Would love to see an episode with Randy Bachman's collection. Don't know if he's a main Gibson guy or not.

[@Shem8100]

I fell in love with the Les Paul because of SLASH!! Wish! What a mighty and valuable collection of Les Pauls. Thanks Gibson for doing this series. Keep coming!! ✌🤘🥂
