[@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.

[@221b-l3t]

​@@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.

One of my biggest influences ever. I was absolutely obsessed with Slash as a young player and to this day, I think he's one of the most unique or the most unique rock n roll guitarist on the planet. He is nobody but himself in his sound and compositions. 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!

I'm not saying he should have been number one but at least in the top 20 I would think.

[@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.

What a collection! And what a good dude! I never would’ve expected Slash to be so cool and down to earth.

[@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. 🙄

[@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

[@w13rdguy]

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

[@ByGraceThroughFaith777]

It's so cool seeing Slash sober. He is so eloquent and knowledgeable. Glad he is able to share all of that with us. This was an amazing interview. Thanks!

[@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!

[@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!

[@ShemFaith]

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!! ✌🤘🥂

[@dansage]

Slash holding a Fender just looks wrong

[@darringodden7225]

I didn't realize how much I liked Slash sort of thought he would be a rockstar but he's a regular gent that just happens to be Slash. Loved every minute great video. Hats off to Gibson and Norms top man.

[@Douglas_I]

Jimmy Page is the one I really want to see! He's getting older too so don't wait too long!

[@gibsonguitar]

We’re working on it 🤞🏼

@@gibsonguitar thank you!

[@rodanone4895]

slash is such a player's player. seems so down to earth and loves the art and the axes. cheers Gibson! great episode

[@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.

[@helenafranca4077]

I never get bored if seeing Slash's interviews.... OMG... and this one especialy, when he speaks about his first GUITAR.... and he is so grounded.... I would be the happiest woman if i had a chance to enter his GUITAR collection.... You're Só cool.... forever fan....🎶🎸🤘🎶🎸🤘🔥🔥

[@alteredstate07]

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

[@matthewsolina4920]

I thought for sure they would avoid other brands and I love that they shined a light on B.C. Rich. The Mockingbird is fantastic.

[@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.

[@mikebutnotike]

I was just wondering when y’all were going to do a Slash collection, and low and behold y’all read my mind! Keep up the great work Gibson!

[@jakkujunktrader2766]

Meeting Slash a few times in my life. The guy is super down to earth way chill. And one hell of a guitarist

[@ZemarRed]

I love the passion here. It really comes through. thank you for this!

[@achill3usoverclocking874]

That comment about his desert island guitar must have melt some faces at Gibson :D Mark and team, thank you so much for making this series to happen, it's one of those things that's so good to be a rock and roll fan nowdays. Cheers

[@christophersabatini]

This was absolutely epic. So much adoration and respect for Gibson guitars and a true rock n roll legend. And Mark did a great job. I'll watch this again. I know it

[@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.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I wish Fender would wise up and steal this idea for a series. Super long form with beautiful photography and a great host.

[@tc98rocks]

I was waiting for him to show his first gold top les Paul because he played it with the king of blues bb king! It was so cool seeing that guitar again he plays guitar so extremely well I love just closing my eyes and listening to him play! It was fun watching these guys get real professional at the beginning and then just getting really nerdy around his collection at the end. Glad I found this channel!

[@LekkerDops]

Slash comes across so well. Handing off the guitars, keen to tell a story, I like this bloke.

[@rhysevancampbell]

Super impressed that they covered non Gibson's including the famous replica. Slash also just seems like a super nice bloke, with an impressive knowledge of some incredible gear 😮 Great vid, cheers

[@bradyneff5654]

yes, we love artists for their craft, but it makes me love them 100x more when they are cool and genuine. slash is that.

[@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.

[@two_legit1832]

Killer video, fam! Did a hell of a job! It was great having ya in town, bro! Metal or die!!

[@lindejordan]

What a treat.. beautifully filmed and produced as always. Gibson TV is top quality.

[@Filagaming156]

Brutal man this made my day :D Slash is not only guitar player but he is expert in guitars he knows everything about them, he know how to choose guitar and how to listen that guitars to hear the smallest and finest tone of guitar. I would like to meet him and walk through his guitar and amp collection and hear his playing with that guitars.

[@julianmay5653]

Guys, your really should do a standard version of „Jessica“ in my opinion. I always got fascinated by the look of this guitar.

[@markrosenquist8259]

Yeah I don’t know about that Slash, I’m sure there are a lot of people that would love to geek out on guitars with you 😅. What a great episode! The acoustic Epiphone that someone gave him for babysitting when he was 16 and he still has it is incredible. Just for the fact he still has it. Very cool! And the Joe Perry story is awesome also, I’ve heard that before but damn that is so cool. The 59 dark burst has to be my favorite if I had to choose. So clean!!! Amazing guitar!

[@guitarjunkie7124]

Thanks Gibson! This was the best Collection episode by far. I really enjoyed this.

[@michaelcosta7235]

I know Slash doesn't read these comments but you are the main reason I play guitar. I finally was able to buy a November Burst this year and it's just magical.

[@wolfbrother2474]

I'm not Slash but love Reading peoples comments about guitar, the reasons they play and there favourite players. Keep playing brother. Music is endless.

[@silentcomic05]

he’s the reason why i started playing guitar, Thank You 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!

[@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.

[@joeldavis1040]

That was awesome!! Slash seems really cool. I WOULD LOVE to see a Billy Gibbons episode... It'd probably be 3 hours long. But it needs to be done, and you guys are the guys to do it.

[@moreblack]

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

[@refusedone]

Slash is such a class act and down to earth guy…thank you Slash for sharing your amazing collection
