This interview had some very cool stuff. See at 17:11 I am pretty sure he is just talking about here how they recorded KOHD technically seperate from the UYI sessions, it came out in 1990 for the Days of Thunder soundtrack with a slightly edited version of that same recording added to the Illusions Edited August 27, 2022 by WhazUp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Pretty interesting to learn he used a Flying V for Knockin' on the recording. I knew he didn't use the 12 string for the studio version but I had always just assumed Les Paul on the studio recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Might pick it up tbh if it’s still available in a few months. The signed 25 version that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Cundy Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 For a grand, I’d want Slash to personally read me the whole thing, whilst occasionally taking a break to juggle, and maybe make me a coffee. Mad price. Gibson vid was good though. Didn’t say much about the Kris Derrig Les Paul, unfortunately. Mind was blown when he said their was a Fender VI on Jungle?!? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Team Brazil might have nothing to do with the project but the prices are definitely on their level of greediness. Edited August 28, 2022 by Sosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaguns1982 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I was kinda expecting a re-release of his bio with all of the negative Axl stuff removed and maybe a few new chapters… looks like a cool book but way to expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like it, don't buy it. But I must say this is the most relaxed, comfortable Slash I've ever seen in an interview. Good job Gibson. Such a treat for guitar nerds. Looks like he is enjoying himself cause it's not the same ol', same ol'. It's business, but a new venture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s aimed more at Gibson collectors and guitar aficionados. Gibson are high priced instruments, so someone dropping 250 or 1000 on this product is a drop in a bucket for people who frequently buy $3k-$10k guitars and collect. They aren’t even typically guitars people gig with any more. Slash just signs a bunch of copies as part of the deal. Gibson then prices it When it comes to buying stuff that’s signed, I stay away from things that are priced significantly more than what a typical autograph is charged or worth. Normally Slash charges around a $100 premium for his signed stuff in his store. That’s also about where the market is. Is there $150 or $900 worth of items in those packages? That’s up to the buyer I’d be interested to buy an unsigned copy if it becomes available. Personally, I have enough Slash signed stuff and a few guitars. This would be overkill and I feel they are asking a bit much compared to what’s being offered Edited August 29, 2022 by guitarpatch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have little/no knowledge of guitars and the more 'technical' side of music. Are they simply too expensive now for most bands, or are they seen more as classics than functioning musical equipment?

Oh they’re still used if they can be afforded. There’s just a stigma that they’re now doctor and lawyer guitars. Especially custom shop, 59 reissues, etc… They’re just expensive and there’s certainly been a movement with gigging musicians not to bring out expensive guitars to shows and even record. There’s tons of great quality instruments in the sub 1000 range compared to 30 yrs ago that do the job just as well. $ is always tight and people look for it to be spent elsewhere Edited August 29, 2022 by guitarpatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I grew up loving Gibson, brought my first Les Paul in 2004 which I still love. But I am rapidly going off this company for a few reasons. This overpriced book is just the most recent. People complained the UYI and AFD boxsets were to much but goodness me. Glad the last gibson I bought was just a Chibson from Aliexpress lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
