In this special compilation episode of The Collection, host Mark Agnesi sits with four iconic guitar players—Paul Stanley of KISS, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Peter Frampton, and Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke—where they talk about early influences and the first Gibson guitars that shaped their musical lives.
Paul Stanley takes us back to the golden era of rock in New York City and how seeing Led Zeppelin, Hendrix and The Who at the Fillmore East helped shape his approach as a rhythm guitarist "holding down the fort," as he puts it.
