      @@losbancos1 Its an edited clip... Hammet goes on to explain the entire lineage and gave a lot of shout outs to Peter Green in the interview.
      He mentions that he replaced Eric Clapton in the Blues Breakers.... Then he bought this guitar but he damaged the neck pickup so he took it in to another legend Sam Lead who repaired it but repaired it wrong and put the pick up in backwards and wired it wrong but he mentions that Peter Green loved the sound and went on to form Fleetwood Mac and recorded a bunch of hits on it ....
      Then he went on to gush about Peter Green as a recognized and formidable player and how he utilized Greeny perfectly and played all the right notes and he was majorly inspired by him and then he explains how the next legend Gary Moore visited Peter Green after Green left Fleetwood Mac....
      The guy gave him like a 5 minute homage in the interview.

      @@Mojave_Ranger_NCR What is the largest audience for which you've performed? For me it's about 300 back in the late 80s. By himself, he's pretty average and nothing as good as someone like say, Jon Gomm, but with James they are very similar to how the two clowns in the Rolling Stones feed off each other. He definitely needs Hetfield to be great, but then they are Metallica. He needs to put his wah pedal in the trash for the rest of his career, I will agree to that. He's used it enough for several generations of guitarists.

Sam Li said to Squire, please don't decorate this Rick anymore & Squire said he's never played a Rickenbacher with that sound he had with YES. Thinking loosing mass gave it some mojo.
