The Scene: Gibson Garage London

[@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😅

[@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.

[@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.

[@tomarmstrong887]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 😂

[@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]

😂😂

[@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 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@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 ❤😂

[@thatguy9528]

I don't think Mark got along with them very well.

[@HGSNJ]

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

[@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!

[@beyondasphalt8879]

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

[@peterellman9672]

not even a step. we are there

[@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.

[@jimmygillard]

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

[@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. 🤘🏼

[@HeinzizBaKeD]

Mark has the personality of an ashtray

[@Malegys]

"Oh, is Tony Iommi a Lefty? "Oh Greeny? i must be colour blind ! " How dumb is Justin Hawkins?

[@tommymaguire2839]

As cool as Gibson is, that's how uncool Mark Agnesi is. What a terrible pitchman. Smug, ingenuine and clearly full of himself.

[@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.

[@MrWorstnameever]

@@NinjaRunningWildtruest comment here

[@benjaminbeciri2989]

Agnesi is acting like a angry little Alibaba here. 😅

[@plecman]

Of all the great British Gibbo players and you chose those two clowns!

[@bggesports74]

the guy in the leather jacket is a right bell end

[@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.

[@wine-living]

This is guy is clearly not in the mood for having any fun today.

[@Natalie-rc4cx]

I just can't dig Agnesi he seems dodgy.

[@JordanFearson]

He's probably battling stuff at home. You never know.

[@badtonestudio]

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

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

Really have come to appreciate Justin and his Justin ness.

[@sallopiccolo7336]

Seems like 3 guys that are really unenthused about the whole thing. Show some excitement guys.

[@m...6119]

This video would have been so much more enjoyable if Mark Agnesi wouldn’t have been so uptight. Cringy demeanor.

[@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

[@mjimenez555]

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

[@babagadoush1]

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

[@christopherguzzi1316]

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

[@divertimento9746]

Sorry, but it’s gross. 10 minutes from the glorious, user-friendly independent music shops on Denmark St, Gibson sets up a glitzy, high-powered superstore with Disney overtones, with guitars sweeping past on remote-controlled assembly-line-themed display that you can’t even reach. It’s like Starbucks opening one of their shitty pretentious franchises right next door to a local cafe that has been part of a neighbourhood for a hundred years. I love Gibson guitars but it really is gross, just like the one in Nashville.

[@VideoHero]

many of the guys in denmark st are not that friendly to beginners i have found- snobbish - looking forward to going to this place today

[@ZuzuTheLemon]

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

[@AndyLi1977]

Mark seemed to be unhappy being there with the 2 Hawkins and probably cant wait for them to leave so he go back to Nashville....

[@danjames8570]

Poor jet lagged Mark’s internal monologue going what??! 🤷‍♂️ any time Justin interjects with dry humour. The rapport was more awkward than the day after a swingers party the night before. Then Mark pours a drink in front of a documented recovering alcoholic but to be fair he looked like he needed it thinking I’m going to kill our producer for not getting someone else.

[@thedappercook]

Lol the host is way way way too serious. Lighten up brother.

[@LuckySantora]

I'm sorry but, Mark isn't cutting it yall.

[@JeDxDeVu]

Make affordable guitars again and enough with the museum pieces for lawyers. Cheers

[@markbaum9615]

Gibson stole Zither wooden guitar stand design...screw Gibson... The Harley Davidson of guitars

[@smssatts]

I have listened to a great interview with Agnesi and Rhett Shull and he had amazing things to say. I loved it. But I cannot stand it when he says "we" as if he did anything. He said "we" spaced the conveyor belts perfectly. WE?

[@ascgazz]

The MOST CRINGE video intro ever. Stopping traffic for a guitar brand intro. The Gibson guy is full cringe.

[@doc_matter]

Mark looks so tired and low on energy 😢 But this has problem been a huge task to complete and a ton of work! Understandable, props!

[@ReneJacq]

That clash of cultures. Lovely.

[@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….🤘😎🤘

[@AndreGundersen]

Value for the money? For the working musician? Maybe more for rich posers. Will I get sued now?

[@user-ux3gh3nt8i]

Whoever designed the interior has no understanding whatsoever of interior design continuity and respect for their items on display or in fact functional

[@brightfalls6788]

Yeah. It looks exactly like Third Man Records. Must’ve had the same empty headed Nashville hipster design this place too. Looks like a soulless strip mall store.

[@jimboslice9472]

mobile homes are far below the $400k threshold as well as other modular pre-constructed dwellings. look around folks and consider All yur optitions.

[@ImLOG4N]

Unfortunately I’m not a gullible 55+ year old dentist. so I will not be going here. But Justin Hawkins is funny

[@gdavis2018]

I love and own and play Gibsons butr this is elitist bull. I mean, it is so ostentatious already without the ‘not for the public’ exclusionary pandering. Agnessi has terrible awareness of how this comes off.

[@metalmick]

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

[@duffbaker9554]

Norfolk, as in the east of England?

[@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

[@mlrrock1]

Never seen Justin so mellow,. Neither Justin or Dan seemed to be really into gear that much. Most guitar players would be totally bonkers looking at all this gear.

[@zachweeks299]

It’s never been more apparent that Gibson is no longer for the everyday guitar player.

[@EJH-jn6mo]

Agnessi is such a poor representation of Gibson. Once Gibson finally comes to their senses a used car sales lot has his name written all over it.

[@RonWood6]

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

[@LeeHoMusic]

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

[@misfit1829]

Dan rocking “in the air tonight” nice touch lol

[@pmac2740]

i really don't know whether this is going to work for Gibson, the whole thing is just overwhelmed by cliche's

[@larsgleisberg1611]

If I was rich I would fly to London to buy that green Flying V.

[@bertgetner9397]

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

[@dougiemanross]

The Darkness: “We’ll take it all.” Marc: “Well yeah, it was based off a stock Les Paul Custom…”

[@beanotraffini681]

Sometimes the Brits just make asses of themselves [trying] to be cool: This was one of those times...🙄

[@nickwilliamsbespokebeltmak8309]

" I don't like people to see me in my civilian clothing",,, 🤣🤣 says JH . so spinal tap

[@Kjetil_MB]

Gibson needs to add «it’s time to rock» on the clock packaging 😂

[@basildog007]

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

[@TurfShifter]

You can actually hear the bottom of the barrel being scraped with those two being the only ones available or willing to be in the video.

[@Mikelennon78]

Gibson is the bully in the guitar scene. Nobody likes a bully.

[@forddriver8827]

I thought 'most of my entire life' was a bit like 'One way ticket to hell and back' Great show Gentlemen.

[@cbrot2001]

Agnesi sounds like he’s been taking narration cues from Keith from five watt

[@Mr.ZiggZagg]

"Face the cameras Dan, they come all this way"

[@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.

[@pepmasters-999]

Cease and desist letter from Gibsons Garage in Wigan arriving any day now..

[@federicoetchelecu3629]

Such a smart move! That store will smash it

[@holmes1978]

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

[@Kouros-t6d]

What we need THE MOST are new young bands in the vein of Zeppelin..Journey...Boston...ELP...Genesis....Toto...Van Halen...Yes....Purple...etc...for the rock-prog-AOR genre and then new young bands in the vein of Simple Minds...Talking Heads...The Police...Tears for fears....Level 42...Jamiroquai....etc...for the so called alt-rock funk new wave genre.

[@denverrandy7143]

Lol Mark always reminds me of the boss I'm nervous around.Funny how Justin just gives him shit like a naughty school boy.😜👍

[@guitaridiot128]

Do you sell Zither stands there? Or just the ones that look suspiciously like theirs?
