The Scene: Gibson Garage London

[@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.

[@PeterEllmanMD]

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.

[@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.

[@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😅

[@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]

😂😂

[@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.

[@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 ❤😂

[@tomarmstrong887]

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

[@armchairthis7664]

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

[@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 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@badtonestudio]

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

[@beyondasphalt8879]

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

[@PeterEllmanMD]

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. 🤘🏼

[@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.

[@bertgetner9397]

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

[@jimmygillard]

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

[@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.

[@PanamaJack666]

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

[@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.

[@RonWood6]

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

[@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….🤘😎🤘

[@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 😂

[@mjimenez555]

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

[@sdelling1]

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

[@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!

[@holmes1978]

Mark is amazing so Proud of him can’t get enough

[@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

[@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

[@waxman9550]

One of my favorite bands and awesome spot !

[@babagadoush1]

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

[@misfit1829]

Dan rocking “in the air tonight” nice touch lol

[@jefftucker201]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@archer4556]

Awesome, thanks for the tour Mark

[@ZuzuTheLemon]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Guitartridney]

6:21 The ES-335 That Mark Points Out Was Bought By Billie Joe Armstrong And Used On The 2024 Saviors Tour

[@federicoetchelecu3629]

Such a smart move! That store will smash it

[@chrisdigital]

That Kramer room is on point. Yes, puns are intended and I love it.

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

Really have come to appreciate Justin and his Justin ness.

[@Les537]

Thanks for the tour, boys. Rock on.

[@nicometal85]

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

[@adamstrachn]

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

[@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. 👍

[@bleeknoir]

Can’t wait to visit. Also, hands up if you did a double take when the old Chasing Tone Podcast theme started playing.

[@danielhoskins4690]

Yeah, I was expecting a wampler voiceover at that point! 😂

[@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.

[@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]

Nashville ain’t even

[@oaboxer]

What a heavenly place!

[@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 ...

[@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! 🇬🇧🎸🎶❤

[@wfmeredith]

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

[@daddarioandco]

This is incredible!

[@bryanmcdermott4204]

Dan and Justin are the perfect guests.

[@Heavenreck]

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

[@TheBlueskyson]

Brilliant! Love it. Mark is one of the most humble guys u could meet. I met him at an L.A. guitar show a few years ago. Solid dude with the heart of Gibson legacy within him. Suggestion. Put the guitar repair/resto tech shop on street level with a window. Punters would love it. Can't wait to visit. Are the other fellows from the next Spinal tap movie? ;) ty 4 vid.

[@ReneJacq]

That clash of cultures. Lovely.

[@snowitz]

19:35 What was a bengali song vinyl doing in that Gramaphone ?? Song name - Tarpor by Hemanta Mukherjee (1.47)

[@LanceJean02]

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

[@clairew137]

Wow. This place looks amazing. Would love to visit next time we are in London if only just to drool at the guitars!

[@dmatt1116]

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

[@NuTsi33]

ole mark has done some great things for gibson. that was a fantastic hire by gibson. keep em coming.

[@Ervin-1190]

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

[@kathrynhegedus]

Excellent tour! Were I in London, I'd live there. 🤩

[@Siggy_Sour]

insane design! just wow.

[@gibsonguitar]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@RambisRants]

This was absolutely mind blowing and could’ve watched another hour of this 🤣👏💯🔥🎶

[@gibsonguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rodolfolarrea8493]

Justin is a great nice and full of grace

[@basildog007]

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

[@DuffValley]

Cant wait to visit tomorrow!!

[@MjrMjr-tt3kn]

Omg i want to go see this ! Gibson rocked this! Aweomse!!

[@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…

[@metalmick]

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

[@duffbaker9554]

Norfolk, as in the east of England?

[@billybobhouse9559]

Just wow! You've done an amazing job. It's like Gibson heaven. I wish I had money.

[@aisle_of_view]

Excellent choice of visiting musicians. Good lads.

[@AdvenuringTime]

Love bringing Gibson to London!

[@DrDan1406]

Smell Authentic! Hahahaha, I am dying from laughter. The whole „toilette/telephone box scene“ is a humorous firecracker - what a gift 🙏🏻

[@donroland8875]

Congrats on the new Garage, I can’t wait to visit. Seems like adding a Union Jack Designer Series Explorer to the display is in order.

[@christopherguzzi1316]

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

[@GaryBook]

This was a wonderful video, where dreams come true.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Would love to visit there on my next visit to London. The Les Paul room, drool. But I do have the Adam Jones Signature ad the 2018 Heavy Metal V.

[@patmayer7222]

,,,...tnx,,Mr Egnisse...for this tour,,I would never see this otherwise..pat&family,,...land o' lakes,wi..usa

[@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!

[@HGSNJ]

'We're 28 now' went straight over Mark's head..

[@drzecelectric4302]

Dude you did a great job w this place!

[@davidsant5729]

Gee that Gibbo guy needs to chill...no wonder he poured himself a large hit of vodka...he was so fkn uptight the whole time. Justin tried to lighten things but to no avail. Cool place though!

[@larryburwell8550]

great video Mark, that place is super awesome/ thanks for sharing

[@jefftravis9567]

Was just waiting for them to play!

[@erhnam]

I like that it’s slow and laid back.

[@riheg]

Can’t wait to visit.

[@VideoHero]

went today on a monday 2pm - was great - staff nice and security (quite a few of those) really nice too! as a beginner as its so big you don’t feel so scrutinised like in smaller shops :) plenty of amps available with headphones to test guitars and no pressure- will go back

[@DjVanillaGuerilla]

Can't wait for the day I can get one of these if ever. I've had a B.C Rich VG1 since I was 15. I have to take care of my mom. So money has always been tight. I love my BC Rich because it's been there for me for so long. It has given me strength in tough times. It's lets me let out my emotions instead of keeping them bottled up inside. But I'm older now and my taste has matured. To play a Les Paul would be a dream come true. Even the cheapest one. Even if it takes me till I'm 80 to save for one. I will. Just to have that feeling once in life would be worth it. To anyone else out there, keep following your dream. No matter what it is. And keep on rockin.

[@cigottro]

I would love to see some performances down there

[@LeeHoMusic]

I am flying to London to see this place... who knows maybe make a purchase.... who knows .. 👌😉

[@paul_domici]

What a fantastic art gallery!!!!

[@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328]

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

[@christiangibbs391]

WE LOVE GIBSON 😎🙌🎸❤️

[@paulya1269]

Been to London quite a few times throughout my life. The last time it was so obnoxiously overcrowded while trying to take my kids to see the sights, I vowed never to return, BUT after seeing this, maybe.

[@davrowb]

Wow , I’ll be visiting this week looks awesome! 😎

[@RRW276]

That UK Gibson 🇬🇧 apparel looks awesome 👏
