The recent "KIRK HAMMETT The Collection: Live" book tour featured sold-out stops in cities such as Toronto, Nashville, Columbus, Philadelphia, Tampa, and Denver. The huge turnout of passionate Metallica fans reveled in the unique setting, which featured an intimate live discussion and a deep dive into Kirk's storied music career with Mark Agnesi, Director of Brand Experience at Gibson. Attendees were treated to behind-the-scenes stories and watched in awe as Kirk performed iconic guitar riffs on his legendary instruments live on stage.

"Watching the audience connect in person with Kirk's inspiring stories from the book and seeing him play his famous guitars live was a one-of-a-kind experience for all fans of Metallica, and I'm thrilled that Gibson Publishing is able to put more copies into the hands of fans globally."
