~ Greg Koch ~
Hailing from the frigid wasteland of northern Wisconsin comes a beast the likes of which the world has never known. Greg Koch, a beast of both persona and guitar-mastery, couples his sickeningly magnetic personality with the guitar to create a style of playing that is both completely unique and deplorable at the same time. As a huge fan of the legendary Big Jim Hendricks Greg has taken all that is good and righteous about blues guitar and warped it into a ridiculously fantastic amalgamation of melodic defilement and mind-blowing creativity. Over the years Greg has shared the stage with everyone from Joe Bonamassa to Les Paul himself, never relenting, never ceasing to bring the ruckus.

Paul Reed Smith can't handle Greg's sense of humor! I love it

[@mikeault]

"Plectrum wielding prestidigitator of the highest order."

[@Adipsia1]

I love Paul and his guitars, but he does need someone like Greg - and there's no other - to ground him... but even Greg seemingly loses the will to live after 10 minutes of incessant Paul.

I see this is an old thread. This video is funny as hell. Greg is hilarious. People hating on Paul.....give me a break. The guy is a genius. I enjoy his videos and I don't think he comes off bad or arrogant at all. Listen to him tell the stories of how much rejection he took early on when guys would refuse his guitars but he stuck with it and now has a legendary company. I always found him in these interviews to have a good sense of humor and will poke fun at himself. I for one love his guitars. People are ridiculous with their negative take.

[@Fugettaboutit]

Great title for an album: "Treat It Like A Farm Animal".

[@Marcus_C51]

To the top of the charts!

[@TheExiledTexan]

Not understanding the hate here. I thought this interview was pure gold.

[@davidallen346]

Greg barks like a Golden Retriever and Paul sounds like a Poodle lol

[@trjb1767]

No hate. Observations

[@rjosephinterrante621]

The highlight of my musical career was doing an open mike with Greg and Gary Grainger at the Harp and Fiddle. Wonderful musicians and wonderful people. I hope i get to play with them again before I pass on.

[@felipejustin]

Steve Jobs of guitars

[@clgmafnas]

Greg = ad libus extraordinairus Paul = serious creatus guitarus Together = awkwardus conversus humorous 😂😂😂

[@Marcus_C51]

Love it!(don't know what to make of these new ones)

[@Newbyrock23]

Quite literally jumped when Paul barked.... Laughed my ass off as well. Good energy, but then it's kinda hard not to have it when talking to a character like Greg.

[@geraldbrown2875]

I don’t know either Paul or Greg personally but after watching this video I would invite Greg over to my house for a beer and bbq any day of the week. Paul on the other hand maybe a Christmas drink at the office!

[@mikeault]

Paul likes to have fun while doing these videos. Greg is amazing guitar player and cracks me up with his descriptions and good natured comic relief licks and well as a serious guitar player but most know this as he's been around for sometime..

[@Marcus_C51]

Just slightly late to the party for a necro post-yesssss! OMG Greg is in ze olde hideously humodinosauriously delish- funky-funny mood! Ahh yes, I loved the comment about Smith's assistant on the guitar "treating it like a farm animal." Wow, that was devastatingly good-had Paul cracking up!

[@tulsa9999]

lol "treating it like a farm animal" I love Greg Koch XD

[@georgecarter144]

Whether you like his personality or not - prs is an important guy - so he is being an important guy in the interview - anyway, I don't know - but it just looks that way to me

[@trjb1767]

Good call

[@adamhill3107]

Gregs shirt is the bomb!!!

[@akeeperofoddknowledge4956]

The FIRST time I've seen Paul in a jokitive mood ! Good going, Greg !

[@wildwoodguitars]

Thanks :)

[@andrewt248]

In a little thumbnail, PRS looks a bit like Larry Carlton.

[@manmatt445]

Comeeeeon paul!!! Let Koch hold it!

[@mikemartin6554]

PLAY THE GUITARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattpat123]

PRS: “this is going on KZbin we’re not gonna edit this” *cuts to a new scene two seconds later*

[@zhbroder]

paul is a salesman and greg is a legend. paul isn't keen on much besides the dollar sign, greg is in high demand, for good reason. also doesn't everyone know never to trust a terrier?

[@darthslater6077]

i CAN NOT GET INTO PAINT ON WOOD..SO MANY BEAUTIFUL WOOD GRAINS OUT THERE. SO IF NOT SOLID AT LEAST YOU CAN VENEER.

[@Jakexx01]

I love all the negative opinions about Paul Reed Smith from those who have never met him personally. Envy is so unattractive. He happened to make something of himself. I guess that warrants negativity in the eyes of many.

[@EthnHayabusa]

No problem. I honestly thought it was a word I had never heard of, until I Googled your original spelling.

[@davidkrystal9783]

"You use a lot of adjectives!"

[@keyshawest8704]

I freaking swear I'll die trying to afford a prs :)

[@wildersparks9161]

“Double red breasted mattress thrasher”

[@kinggeno32]

....this guy is better then steve jobs

[@jclev99]

PRS: Pompous, Reluctant SOB

[@straightedgeecw]

Yep, that's the stereotypical head of a large business if I've ever seen one. LOL.

[@66vapor66]

Haha damn, Paul Reed Smith is such a self righteous clown. Annoying guy.

[@1Ma9iN8tive]

66vapor66 god I thought I was the only one - he is a Dick of the highest order ... I still own a PRS though ha ha ha

[@piedaterre8843]

yep; i was just gonna come on and ask "does PRS kinda seem like an asshole to anyone?"

[@EchoesofRhythm]

He's taken by Fender.

[@kdurkin31]

wow..Paul needs to relax.

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Gregory Kochery strikes again.......

[@trjb1767]

Prs laughing makes me laugh

[@EthnHayabusa]

Rapport.

[@eric_in_florida]

Jeez Paul try to at least play along a little bit.

[@gerberbernstein7360]

Why'd they put Paul's mic down by his navel ? Can't hear a thing he says.

[@TheNumbrs]

Agreed. Paul seems like he's got somewhere else to be. Which he may very well lol. In any event, he comes off as a pompous ass. Hopefully I'm wrong.

[@nigeldaddyo]

greg is great. paul irritates me.

[@vincentferraro5134]

Greg Koch is too annoying to watch this. On to the next PRS video

[@dennisjohnson2519]

PRS I find really fake, at the end of the day he is a salesman, Greg Koch irritates the life out of me, with his silly chat lines,

[@skobedigatch207]

Dennis Johnson well, ur mom gay
