    The fact that the guitar actually gets played and we were able to hear it... vs it just being behind glass somewhere in a museum with a little placard with info is already a massive level of justice. This also makes me realize we rarely hear from Kirk. He should speak up more often.
  • @isaacbugalho
    It's a blessing that Greeny is in Kirk's hands and not in some collector's vault. Kirk's love for Greeny makes it the best owner possible, enjoy it, you deserve it!!!!

    I’ve listened to Metallica for 35 years and this is the most I’ve heard him speak.
  • @blppt
    I love how James is always in a stance whether he's playing anything or not, lol.
  • How’s Kirk to his roadie? “Can you bring Greeny to me please?” What a legend
  • @katekrylov
    It's really awesome how Kirk gets enthusiastic and talkative when asked about his favourite instrument. Greeny is special alright.

    Talking about guitars really livens up Kirk.

    Gotta love Metallica. This is why Robert’s quiet personality fits so well with this trio.

    This guitar is a legend on it's own, so cool to see it's still being played by another legendary guitar player

    Gary Moore did that guitar justice.
