I love how passionate Kirk is when he talks about his guitars!

[caseycbenn]

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.

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.

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
