When Peter Green Left Fleetwood Mac, The Future of His Music Career Seemed Almost Uncertain With No Hope of Return.

Really Kirk you think it belongs in the rock and roll hall of fame, I very much doubt that's the sentiment of the previous musicians that owned it, collecting dust in a silly American institution that doesn't honour many many genuine guitar legends like Rory Gallagher for instance, I'm glad to see it being used on stage which is exactly where it belongs.

@TheSoundofForgetting 3 месяца назад

You said it all right there…Rory Gallagher 🤘🎸🤘that man doesn’t get the credit he deserves & should be pass many of the well known legends but music comes 1st 🤘

@jamesmatthews4435 4 месяца назад

Having been a long term fan of Peter Green, Gary Moore and Metallica I have this to say. The previous owners could really make this guitar sing. However, it's wasted on Kirk Hammet. They guy is average at best and has absolutely nothing worth saying on the guitar. So many other fantastic players it should have gone to. It's all come down to money and Kirk is a very rich man.

@marcuswilson3485 4 месяца назад

The guy uses so much tech filters and effect that it's pointless him playing it. The thing is, Green played with little to no sound modulation. He just turned that LP up and used his fingers, his ears and his own mind.

Moore was taken under Peter’s wing. Peter told Gary that if he sold his best guitar that Peter would take whatever money Gary got. Gary Moore is a guitar legend. Not sure how someone says Gary wasn’t good enough. You sure you’ve heard Gary’s career work?

Amazing story, I heard that guitar sound live by Gary Moore in early 90's in Kentish Town Country Club now its called O2 Forum in north London, lovely live music venue, mid size, historic building with great acoustics, he used that guitar for only one song "Still Got the Blues for You" and the tone was mesmerizingly penetrating the souls of the lucky audience, it was truly a gut wrenching performance and an unforgettable night. Peace. ✌

We’ve all heard of the out of phase character this particular instrument has but have heard it was due to a wiring screw up and several other theories but this is the best explanation this non-guitar player has heard that makes sense especially the reversed pick-up bit I didn’t know about. But I have heard it played and it definitely is different in a ephemeral sort of way. Unique 😉

@Trial212 4 месяца назад

Great post! I knew most of the story. Didn't know the stipulations that Gary put on the guitars next owner when he sold it. Even though his wishes were eventually dishonored I'm happy he thought enough of the guitar to do it. One thing I find very interesting is that the Joe Perry Gibson "Boneyard Burst" has the "Greeny" mod built into it!! There is also a Epiphone version of the "Boneyard" that is set up the same way, The Epi version was made in 2004 thru possibly 2006. It was a quite short run of 2 or 3 years. It has Gibson Burst Bucker 2 & 3 pick ups in it!! I'd love for Kirk to plug that Epi into a Marshall, crank it up and get his opinion of the sound!!! We might be in for a hell of a surprise!!!!

@lorenzo6mm 4 месяца назад

"Oh Well..!!!" Cant help about the shape he's in... Can't sing and his legs are thin.. " Kirk Hammett looks physically ill. Metallica music is pretty nasty. Some of it is pretty good 'Sausage Fest' Male Machine Gunn Music. And the guitarhas been f' Ed up in a car wreck. Probably the result of a bad driver. The Karma is all wrong since leaving Peter Green's hands That Les Paul is in the wrong hands.

@PeterSteinmetz-ou8ur Год назад

I think I read that while considering the purchase, Kirk called Jimmy Page for advice. From what I understand Jimmy said "I know that guitar...you NEED to buy it!"

@CooManTunes 6 месяцев назад

Funny how two of the most legendary instruments, in history, are within Metallica's care. :'D Kirk Hammett is the 'curator' of Peter Green's 'Greeny', and Robert Trujillo is the same for Jaco Pastorius' 'Bass of Doom'. Even better, Trujillo owns the 'Bass of Doom', but leaves any and all future decisions, regarding its wellbeing, in the hands of Jaco's family. Now, that's HEART.

@jto541 16 дней назад

I think it's short-sighted of people to say that this guitar is being wasted in the hands of Kirk Hammett. Maybe from a playing perspective yes, but this guitar could have easily ended up sitting behind glass on display being no use to anybody, or worse bought by a rich collector who kept it locked away in their house. But Metallica on tour are still selling out venues with 50k capacity every other day, more than nearly any other rock show in the world, and hence showcasing this guitar to thousands of people who would be otherwise ignorant to its beauty. That's a good enough reason for me, not to mention the obvious appreciation and care Kirk has for the guitar's history and magic.

There are several forms or categories of "metal". Metallica is widely classified as thrash metal. It is what it is. They are what they are.

I had heard ... (here goes) ... that a then unknown Peter Green took the guitar back into the store he had bought it from for an 'adjustment'? He was trying out for the opening in John Mayall's Blues Breakers. Eric was leaving. A guy in the store (there were no 'techs' back then), removed the neck pick up and then inadvertently put it back the wrong way. I have heard that guy was Lemmy Kilmister who, before he worked as a roadie for Hendrix and then formed Hawkwind and then Motörhead, worked in the store.
