"it's a survivor, like me" that is so heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time 💔❤

[chosenone]

So much history, if an object could talk

[mellowred]

I’ll tell you what the fact that the guitar has somewhat survived for over 40 years throughout all that touring is a testament to the japanese

[rdanalytics]

He said that it was the only guitar he had during the “Kill’em All” Tour. Could you imagine going on a world tour, with all the investment that goes along with it. You have to buy equipment, rent buses, rent hotels, book flights, pay roadies, pay managers, etc. And it all relies on a cheap $200 Japanese knock off Flying V not malfunctioning. Then, on top of that, that guitar was an integral element in making Metallica one of the most successful bands of all time.

Can you imagine this guitar going on auction?

And that guitar survived a certain bus crash... r.i.p. cliff.

Budget Japanese guitars from the 80s and 90s were amazing.

Electra later became Westone and were made at the Matsumoku factory in Japan. Some of the best Guitars ever made and better than a lot of big brands today! Great Guitar for a Legendary player!

I had the honor to see this guitar played not even a foot from me in St. Louis last year, and i was handed a used guitar pick by James with it, top 3 moment of my life forever

God bless this man. Thank you James Hetfield

Lively and Young. Describes the essence of the Flying V.

[pittbrat]

Fantastic! There are a large amount of people out there who back in the 80's bought a Gibson V because they tought that James V was a real Gibson . 😆

[dustinparker]

It’s cool he still has it and brings it out sometimes. I wish other iconic musicians bring out an old favorite for a song at least. Love to see Dave Mustaine play his old Silver Jackson King V. John Petrucci with his Ibanez. Korn with the Ibanez universes.

[walterharris]

The man has held, owned and played guitars that have cost more than $1500 - including his own signature models yet he always goes back to this one. In a way, he's come full circle whenever he's on stage with it. Jerry Cantrell had finally retired his G&L superstrat (another cool guitar with a history). That Electra Flying V should be in the Smithsonian one day.

[Sonic-gykq]

After facing so many uncertainties in life. James deserves constants like these.

[danielguerrero]

I love james clips always inspired amd full of music love

[mjzeb]

man you uploaded so much awesome content on your previous channel. Please upload it here too. Thanks.

I hear the difference between Kill 'em All and the later Metallica albums, because even with the amps all scooped out, those crunchy mids still shine through. That explains why KEA is still my favorite Metallica album! And it's all because of this cheapo V copy that James bought off some guy in high school...

[stevenshewfelt]

i bet when he plays that guitar, yes old friend lets make some magic together again, and that wish to bring it to the grave with him, i can see that happening. but for now 2 old friends being in the moment, bonding over days gone by of riding across the landsof the earth side by side, and becoming one on stage to bring about the destruction of GLAM metal

[demonicon]

The riffs that that thing had played through it
