♫♪♫ Hi Lonny ♫♪♫ As mortifying as your guitar stories are to you... it is definitely meant to be YOURS cuz it came back to you twice... and like you, it has character... and like you, it could never be boring... just saying I am going to tell you my story though this is not an object I hold dear to my heart it sure is a CRAZY story!!! In 2008 all my ID was stolen in another city and I reported it to the rcmp there... (had it all replaced)... 2018 I get a call on my voice mail to contact rcmp at this #... I had no clue what for so I called and they had my birth certificate!!! To which I could pick up in that city... at that time I had no way to get there so I arranged it for them to get it to my city rcmp so I could pick it up... wow 10 years later can you believe that!!!... I can't help but wonder what it's story is!?!...Pretty crazy huh Hahaha
This is going to be a bit of a long one I think my most treasured possessions actually all have something to do with BVB for different reasons. I think my most treasured possession is a frame with 4 guitar picks from bvb 2 signed posters, and my wristband from a bvb show. I have quite a few guitar picks from various bands but bvb is definitely the most special to me. I got to do vip with bvb for my 13th birthday at one of the Roxy shows (you weren’t in the band yet but I hope to meet you at some point in the future!). Andy complimented my brand new leather jacket and I told him it was a birthday gift for the show and that it was my birthday. I was very shy and quiet so I think only Jake and Andy heard me and they said happy birthday and i was so excited. I managed to get front row and about three songs in Andy came by and crouched down and sang to me. He held my hand over 10 times during the set and sang to me a few times. Jinxx gave me two guitar picks and Jake also gave me two at that show. It was the first time I have ever gotten a guitar pick at a show and I was stoked. I think at one point Jinxx tried to get me to touch the fretboard of his guitar but I was too anxious and kept shaking my head but he let everyone around me do it and I ended up being comfortable enough to touch his guitar. He pointed at the whammy bar and started having me do the whammy bar parts, at the time I was so anxious that I was messing everything up but looking back I don’t think he cared if I messed up the song. It was the first time I felt a real connection with a band at a show. I found some photos from that night online and there’s a couple of Andy holding my hand and there’s even a couple of just me in the crowd. My dad was with me and got some really cool photos too, a couple years later and it’s still the most memorable concert I’ve been too, definitely a 1 in a million story.
Ok now I understand a lil bit just how frustrating and heartbreaking it must have been when Jake got his guitars stolen. Also completely unrelated Lonny, I'm so sorry I feel like I didn't give you enough love during the meet and greet because I was so shy and nervous at the time. But it was nice to meet you! you guys were so sweet 🖤
No worries at all Azlin! It’s very normal to feel nervous during a meet & greet. I completely understand! It was nice to see you though, and I hope we’ll see you again soon. 😊
I think my most treasured item in my possession is my bass guitar. It's my first bass and I have learned a lot if stuff along the way about music and why music is a good thing. It also taught me to persevere and to try new things. It also taught me a lot about music that I never would have understood beforehand.
Omg Lonny, it's really heartbreaking to listen the stories and I am so incredibly happy that it got fixed and you got it back, the bond is strong with the favorite things, I still have a lil tiny stuffed dog which I got when I was a kid and I always kept it in my hand when I went to sleep and one evening I couldn't find it and I was crying and my parents are looking for it in everywhere they even called to my nanny and in the end it was found and I was so happy 😄😄 Love the video!! Thank you Lonny, much love and stay safe!! 🤘🏻🖤
Thanks for watching the new video Tiina, and I really enjoyed reading your story here. That stuffed dog sounds super cute, I’m so glad you were able to find it again! 😊
What do you know? Both of us were obsessed over LP's! I still have mine although it's an Epiphone, I still use it for just sitting and messing around as well as messing with riffs. I got it in 2014 from my dad for Christmas when I was 9. Although I'm a bass guitarist who uses Jackson, I still love it.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic I also have an Ibanez RG too. but i still prefer my LP. But Jackson is my brand of choice rn. Mianly because of David Ellefson from Megadeth.
How does this amazing human being not have more support? Just shows who really loves this man ppl show their true colors. To show someone you love them you gotta love and appreciate where they came from on their journey and what obstacles and challenges they went through 🤍 because BVB is nothing without Lonny 🤍 big fan of yours! It’s good to see others support this man!
Well yay! I’m early! Love the guitar oml. I have a sunburst Epiphone les Paul that plays amazingly :) as always thank you for the good vibes lol :) now I gotta find someone willing to play a couple rounds of blackjack with me :,) so far no one does...damn 🥲
How’s it going Lonny? Can I just say, your videos and performance in alive and burning 2 are all amazing! I cannot wait for future shows and future videos to come!
I just want to say, thank you for being so wholesome. It's honestly kind of refreshing. I basically grew up with BVB and I remember watching countless interviews where the members were drunk off their ass, or trying to get laid, or something to that end. Don't get me wrong those interviews were funny at the time(especially the Bryan stars ones). But uh I have since grown up, and I no longer find that sorta thing as amusing as I used to. Anyway, my point is, even if I wasn't a fan of BVB, I would still watch your RUclips videos because you have a genuine passion for what you're doing and it shows, also again you just seem so wholesome. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air. Keep being awesome
Thanks so much for your kind words! I just try to be myself I guess haha. Always stay true to who you are, and right people who are ment to be in your life will naturally find their way in. Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the videos. All the best, keep in touch!
I have a lot of things that I own specifically because they are sentimental to me, but one thing comes to mind that's my most sentimental item-a heart necklace charm. So a little backstory on this charm: my family lives very far away from me and I only get to see them about once a year. The heart charm was a gift from my grandmother that says "A mother holds her daughter's heart forever"(which both represents my mom and my grandma). And m grandma used to have this insane jewelry collection, and she never wore much of it, so every year I went to visit her she would let me go through it and pick some stuff I liked, and the last time I actually got to see her I picked out this heart charm to keep. And now I wear it everyday to remind me of her. ❤️
That’s an incredible story! Those old family heirlooms can mean so much, especially after our loved ones pass. So glad you’ve got that to hang onto and remind you of your grandmother. 🤍
@@LonnyEagletonMusic Thanks for reading and replying! Family heirlooms definitely mean the most to me, and they help to make me feel closer to my family when I can't see them. ❤️
Ok this is about to be a very long comment! As you know me way to well with that stuff! First off that Gibson is gorgeous that clearly is a given! Secondly nothing is better than having a professional instrument I got my first trombone as a gift from my parents at the beginning of my Sophomore year so almost two years ago and it is my closed wrap one and I remember my dad finding it because I really wanted one in silver and that is just very unheard of so when my dad found it I was so excited and we found and I was able to play on it like a week before we left with my band on our Europe tour we did! Thirdly that story about how your Gibson broke literally broke my heart! I actually have a similar story so last year for Christmas my parents surprised me with my second silver professional trombone this one is an open wrap and this is my marching band and pep band one my closed wrap I use for regular band and for jazz so you will actually see my open wrapped one in my whole audition video! But anyways so Fed X who was the company that shipped my open wrapped one did not clearly handle it with care and so the box was all ripped and crinkled! Then we open it and the leather case that the trombone sits in has a huge crack and pushed in so when I opened it I saw the bell was a bit bent which broke my heart that they treated such a beautiful instrument with such carelessness! So anyways I was like whatever we can get the bell re shaped later it still looks pretty much the same just a slight bent in the bell! So as excited as I was getting it I immediately take it to school to play on it because that is just what you do when you get a new instrument or toy as I would like to call them lol! So then like a week after getting it I am in band class in the middle of a piece and go to use the trigger and then all of a sudden the whole trigger comes unsoldered off if the trombone! I was so heartbroken and somewhat mad the whole day and so when I brought it home so I could bring my other professional trombone back to school as I told my parents what happened I literally broke down in tears at how sad I was! Lucky we found this guy who completely redoes instruments and so not only did he fix the bell but then we were able to get the trigger resoldered back on however instead of getting the original trigger system that Bach does with these trombones this guy asked if I wanted him to do his custom trigger system that makes the whole trigger system quieter and a lot smoother so of course I said yess and honestly even though it still breaks my heart to this day thinking about it being broken I love the new custom trigger and wouldn’t change it for the world! I also now have a new black case because of how bad the old case was unfortunately! But yeah I completely understand being heartbroken over those kinds of stuff! Fourthly to me personally all the little dings and scratches on my two trombones yes it kinda sucks but it gives them character and I can still remember stories from each one and how it happened so to me it also shows that both of them are well loved and that they are being played and not just on some collector’s shelf collecting dust! Fifth I do agree I say this to my friends all the time my trombones are honestly my babies they have been through a lot with me and I love them they are beautiful pieces of art that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world and it is really cool to see that you agree! Just this summer I made the decision to give my student trombone that I was using as my marching band and pep band trombone up until this year to my high school band program because then I know someone can use it and fall in love with the instrument as I have! It is also quite funny because I tell people this all the time not only did the band life choose me but I definitely feel in my heart that the trombone choose me! But yeah amazing stories thanks for sharing them because as I know with those kind of things it can be very hard! Your amazing Lonny thank you so much for all the support you are giving me! And thank you so much for being such a huge inspiration and someone I look up to and you and the rest of the band being my heroes! I have will have the audition video to you whenever I am fully done and edited with it but thank you again for actually going to take the time out of your day to watch it and give me feedback! Band as you can clearly see is so important to me and will forever be a part of my life and having one of my heroes actually going to watch my whole audition video means the literal world to me Lonny thank you so much! Hope your doing great and I literally can’t wait for the new album!!
I have a vintage acoustic Yamaha guitar that my mom gave me. It was hers since she was (I wanna say )21-ish if memory serves. That's way back in the day (the early 1970s way before I was born). Anyhow, she gave it to me after getting a new one in 2000. She's had it for as long as I can remember and would play folk songs on it (songs ranging from Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff to songs by Bob Dylan). I started getting interested in it because I've been a Goo Goo Dolls fan since their first album came out back in 1989 and so when I got her guitar, I immediately gave it a name (It didn't have one before). I have named it Iris, after my favorite Goo Goo Dolls song. Johnny Rzeznik is my inspiration for starting to learn the guitar. 🎸
my guitar (named Cole) is probably my most important possession, it has helped me through many tough times yet rarely leaves my room but its always there even just seeing it makes a bad day better sometimes
The thing I hold near and dear to my heart is all my guitars I love them all they are all special to me. One of My favorite guitars that I treasure most is my 1996 American made Paul reed smith. The Paul reed smith is special because it is only one year younger than me which is really cool and it sounds amazing and I actually got it for a birthday present a few years ago. So it is very sentimental to me and It’s also sentimental because it was the guitar I was using the first time I ever got money for play guitar.
OMG what amazing stories! I did not imagine that a guitar could be fixed, being very damaged, I was quite surprised, I love your old photos when you share them !! Your cool hair in those photos! One question, how long does it take to leave it like this without curls? Does your wife help you with your hair? (I also have it like this, it's actually a big problem for me haha), I know that instruments are loved with the soul and are very precious, I don't know if it serves to say what is most precious to me but it also has to do with music .. I have been a dancer for years I had a disease in my hip (from the same dance) the doctor literally left me prostrate without being able to walk anymore, he said .. Resumo I was disabled. ... my husband looked everywhere for a solution until he got it. (while I was dying for not being able to dance and walk💔) at the end and after a long, hard and painful treatment on the spine I managed to walk again it was the happiest day of my life because they gave me my whole life vida !! .. so for me .. it can be said that my feet, my hands and everything else is what I appreciate the most since the day I walked and danced again was incredible! 💗 because for me music is life, and without she would not be the same to live! ... something I love BVB! They are my great motivators ... you too of course and that you came to the group, you made a great and very positive change! and you filled everything with energy! ❤ .. thanks for sharing this .. thanks for letting us share our stuff! you are amazing lonny!🦅👏👏
I too didn’t believe the guitar could be fixed, but alas it was! It only takes me about 5 minutes to straighten my hair actually these days. Not too long! Thanks so much for sharing that amazing story though Pam. I’m so happy you were able to overcome that challenge. You should be very proud. 🙏🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic How great! I would be happy if it only took me 5 minutes on my hair but it's not like that hahaha😆, and thank you very much for your words of support Lonny💗 !! I always love to watch your videos! you are the best❤
Great video Lonny! That's one of the nicest tops I've ever seen on a Studio Les Paul for sure. I have a guitar that's sentimental to me as well. It's a 97 Japanese Jackson Randy Rhoads V. It was my first real guitar and my dad and I, loaded a full size drum kit in a Gio Metro car (Basically a pop can with wheels) and took it to the store to trade. The owner couldn't believe that we fit the whole thing in that little car, haha! I put a lot of play time on that thing. My dad and I always joked about that guitar from time to time, how we loaded that car up to go get it. My dad recently passed so that made that guitar that much more special. I haven't played it in years, as it needs fret work. I now have the skills to fix it, so I need to get on it soon. And restore it to it's former glory. I think you should go thru all your guitars with videos like this. Very cool to see and hear the stories about them!
Thanks Dewey! Yes the primary reason why I chose this particule Les Paul was for the color. I loved the natural look of the wood. Thanks so much for sharing your story here with me. Those Randy Rhonds Vs are great guitars. They look so slick! I’m very sorry to hear about the passing of your father, but would love to see you restore that guitar to its full glory once again. I do plan on making more videos like this in the future and turning this into a series. Thanks man! 👊🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic You're welcome, Lonny, and thank you! I'll do a video on it in the future. May chronicle the repair process also. Cant wait to see your other guitars!
Nice to see your eyes shine when you talk about the fact that you absolutely wanted this guitar and unbelievable what crazy stuff happened to it 😱😱😱 nice memories and thank you for sharing it with us!
Yeah this guitar means so much to me, as I’m sure you gathered in the video! Hoping to eventually make more videos like this pertaining to each of my guitars.
I actually baught my first Les Paul about a month before Covid really hit. The guitar that I had beforehand was giving me some troubles (the frets weren’t even on the underside, and they tore up the inside of my finger) so I started looking for a better guitar. I didn’t have verymuch money, so I was looking for something second hand on Facebook. While I was on vacation in Mexico, I had found an add (where I live) for a 60’s tribute Gibson Les Paul for $800. The day after I got home, I contacted the guy, we arranged a meeting, and next thing I knew, I had just baught a Gibson Les Paul for $700. Throughout quarantine I’ve played it so much, I feel like I’ve had it for more than just a year (maybe two). That guitar is definetely one of my most valuable possesions.
Thanks for sharing your story Emilie, that’s so awesome. Congrats on the new Les Paul! They truly are amazing instruments and I’m glad to hear that yours has been treating you well during these tough times. Keep rocking! 🖤🙏🏻
You must read things like this everyday, but i'm so happy for you, being part of BVB and seeing you so excited about it, uploading this little videos that make us feel closer to you, getting to know you a little bit more every day. They made the right thing chosing you , and i cant wait to see you guys back in tour, i'll be waiting here in Argentina.♥️🇦🇷 Also, that guitar has been through a lot and is still by your side, it's your soulmate, no doubt😂
Thanks so much for reaching out and saying that! I am very happy and grateful to be a part of the new era of Black Veil Brides. Can’t wait to come play for you in Argentina one of these days. Hopefully soon! Until then, glad you’ve been enjoying my content. 😊🤘🏻
I can relate so much to the sentimental value that an instrument holds . I remember the first ever guitar that I bought with my own money , bringing it home that day was like bringing home a newborn . I felt like i gave birth to it in a way lol And one of my guitar got broken in half by someone purposely , so I feel that . Although mine wasn’t able to be properly saved , I still hold it in my collection .
Weell the item that I treasure the most are also my guitars. I have an acoustic guitar that my dad gave me when I was 13 and my electric guitar that my sister gave for Christmas 4 years ago. I don't work in the music industry but they have being with me when I was down, and also I remember that I always wanted to play like Jake. I mean... I just love his style he inspired me to play an instrument. Oh, and also my ukulele.
Thanks for sharing this Daniela. Sounds like you’re gathering quite the collection of instruments. I love ukulele! And yes Jake is an excellent player. He is definitely somebody that I look up to as well. Keep rocking! 🖤
Oh My God... This is the best thing that ever happened to me. Thanks for reading this mini story! Now, I'm gonna scream of happiness, you make my night. Love you lots bye
What stories you have! I can't imagine how you must have been feeling seeing that your guitar was broken in two or just missing... I'm glad everything turned out well in the end ^^
When I brought my guitar about a year ago, I broke the string within the first three weeks from getting stressed and tuning it to much.........real talent. Also is bvb going to be releasing any new music soon?
Oh no! Thankfully strings can be easily replaced. You’re certainly not the first person to have had that happen, I’m sure! New music coming at ya this Spring. Stay tuned! 🤘🏻
Also Lonny I forgot to tell you because my week has been a bit crazy because finals are next week! But on Thursday for band class my director did a private concert of some of his favorite chamber groups performances and the duet I did with my private tutor and worked really hard on was one of his favorites and then he commented to the whole class as mine started that it is a great example on how to spice up any audition because the duet was for an Etude that we use a lot for both our band auditions but also for our state band auditions! And then he told me that I did an amazing job and that it sounded amazing! I can’t thank you enough for how supportive you and how much that means to me because I know I would have never had the courage enough to send it in to be considered and the amount of support you are constantly giving me helped me to gain that courage to do something that I would have never done or even considered doing and would have really regret it so much if I hadn’t submitted it! So thank you so much Lonny it literally means the world to me!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic I just got done with my hardest and most stressful finals today and this made my entire day! Thank you so much! Love you my dude! ❤️
Well. My dad (he’s currently 55) has been playing guitar for about 45 years (started when he was 10) so when I was 10 he started showing me how to play guitar and I picked up on it fairly quickly. Like before I was born my dad bought me a mini guitar but again it wasn’t till I was 10 till I really started learn annnnnnd my first guitar was a black and white fender strat then next was the sunburst les Paul I previously stated in another comment, and my last guitar I got was a black and white Jackson Randy Rhodes Flying V :) I’ve played small gigs at local bars/saloons by our house and in 6th grade I used to play in front of the entire 6th grade every Friday morning with 2 qsc (I forgot how many watts but it was like a little over 2000) speakers and a fractal axe fx 2. I’ve taken a long break and getting other things done lately I haven’t really had the time to pick it back up but the last time I did (a couple months ago) was an amazing feeling. Now as for my dad he’s been collaborating with his old best friend who lives up in Austin (while we live in Houston) and doing increeedible rush covers and now my dad wants me to do vocals for the fall out boy cover they already have the tracks down on (it’s sugar we’re going down) and my dad wants to do gold fingers cover of 99 Luftballons cuz I can speak German without a problem 😂 but yeah my dad still plays and ig that’s our story.
She's friggin beautiful man! I feel the same way about my 3 fender basses. I got a red 1994 P-bass, a cream 1995 Jazz bass and a silver player series Jaguar bass all within a couple months of each other, and they're pretty much the only basses I play anymore lol
See, I had an old Epiphone Les Paul 100, i sold it about 5 years ago, it was my first guitar. Just about a week ago, i got it back and upgraded the pickups. Love the story of your les paul man. Rock on. 🤟🏻
I was so sad when someone stole my brothers gorgeous blue flying v guitar while he was on a regional tour. I cant imagine how it would be if it was mine. Sorry the ex roommate did you dirty like that. I'm glad you were able to get it back! I cant think of any object that has been through something like that with me.
I have a Camaro that I have purchased three times in my life. It was the first car I ever bought with my own money and I drove her for years until my father told me to get rid of the hot rod and buy something sensible. I did so, but then when I saw her the next year she had been trashed, so I bought her back and began to rebuild her. Then I met and married my husband and he said oh no this isn't happening, and he talked me into selling her. 21 years later I repurchased her, brought her home and he and I combined our dreams and built her from the ground up. She is never going to be sold again. She is my first love. She is burgundy metallic and has always been known as Gypsy, but lately she is considering being reborn as Scarlett........
Wow Terry that’s an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m glad to hear you’ve been reunited with your Camaro again after all these years. Keep her safe! 😎🤘🏻
I totally understand your sentiment toward instruments. Until we had children I always told my husband I'd save my violins before him (now the kids come first, obviously). After all they were my first loves. Does anyone else name their instruments? My violins are Raymundo, Fred, and Celeste.
I’ve never been one to name my instruments, I more so just refer to them as “The White One” or “The Les Paul” etc haha. Thanks for checking out the video though Grace! Happy holidays to you and your family. 😊
There are many great options out there for a new guitar, but you can never go wrong with a Les Paul! They have a very thick sound, which is great for classic rock, but also suited for many other styles as well.
That is one smooth sounding guitar. 🎸 I thought the name of the guitar sounded familiar so I did a quick search. One of the most legendary guitarists of all time Slash of Guns N' Roses uses a Gibson Les Paul. Coincidentally, your hair in your younger photos looks like Slash. The object that I hold dear is an Avenged Sevenfold hoodie that I purchased the first time I seen them in concert. That hoodie has bleach stains and holes in it, and it has shrunk over time but it is still my most prized possession. 🖤😊
Yes! Slash is one of the main reasons why I wanted to play a Les Paul. Him and Jimmy Page were big inspirations for me. That hoodie sounds awesome, and it sounds like you’ve been through a lot together too. I’ve only ever seen A7X play one show, it was on the Nightmare tour with Mike Portnoy. I hope to see them again some day. One of my favorite bands easily.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic A7X have been my favorite band for almost 15 years give or take. I got into the band after high school. Saw them live 3 times. The first time was on the Cities of Evil tour in 2005. That's where I got the hoodie. They always put on a killer show! I think merchandise purchased at a concert holds more sentimental value than something just purchased online. It's nice to have the ability to say, I remember when I bought this at this show. I hope the world returns to a semi state of normal soon because I would love to see Black Veil Brides for the first time. 🖤🤘
That is one very beautiful axe!! I had a 85' Fender Strat I picked up when I was 13 I think, it was my baby, but sadly when the Pandemic hit, my wife lost her job, and I had to sell it to pay mortgage and buy food, broke my damn heart. I've always wanted a Gibson L.P., but my god they are expensive, and not on veteran benefits....One Day I'll hopefully own one.
Thanks for sharing your story here Michael. Always a challenge when we have to sell our gear to get by. We’ve all been there at one time or another. Hope you can acquire a Les Paul at some point down the road. They are definitely pricey, but well worth the cost if you can manage it! Cheers brother!
I really like the slow way you talk, and your smile seems charming to me❤️️. I don't speak English but I love listening to you, uwu❤️️. the translator helps me understand you
I have a Les Paul 1950s Gold Top and it plays absolutely beautiful. My uncle had to sell it because covid hit him hard, couldn’t play any shows. Plays like a dream On an unrelated note, the things that have happened since you joined BVB have been so noticeable (The Night, RSTW, Scarlet Cross and Alive and Burning 2) ❤️ Shameless self promotion I did vocal covers of Heavens calling and WSTW if you want to check them out. Not the best but oh well ❤️
Those Gold Tops are beautiful instruments! Love the look of those. Thanks for your kind words Ben, much appreciated. Glad to see you digging the new era. Just checked out your vocal covers too, great work my man! 👏🏻👏🏻
It fell off at a gig one time and I was never able to find it after the show. Must have gotten kicked into the crowd or something haha. One of these days I’ll get around to replacing it!
If you think about it, that poor guitar has had such an intense life journey of its own, in addition to the moments of your life its experienced with you. Interesting to think about it like that in my oinion. Also, I think it would be really cool if you could do a video with Sage, if thats possible. Kinda like the vid with Matt Reilly, and maybe toss in some stories from the Andy Black tour.
Yes! Sage and I had discussed doing that together a while ago. It never ended up happening due to scheduling conflicts but I would definitely still be up for it still if he is!
That is really cool! I can see how you can become so attached to it! Did you hear the story when Chuck Berry punched Keith Richards in the face for touching his guitar? Lol, I love rock history.
Haha I hadn’t heard that story before! I do enjoy rock history too. Finally got to visit the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame last year in Cleveland. Was a very cool place, and somewhere I had always wanted to see. 🤘🏻
Lonny eagleton me gusta tu guitarra y voy a tener una como la que tenía Jake Pitts o jinxx en la canción knives and pens y una cosa mas lonny cuando escucho BVB coloco las músicas en mi WhatsApp y a todos les gustan salúdame desde Chile
@@natalie6935 aww thanks for telling meeee but at least i have an ss saved ✌ second time he's noticed me and i still got so excited. he's one of my biggest role models
I still own it and play it! I’ve since decked it out though and upgraded nearly every part of the instrument. Planning on making a video about it sometime.
i mean if im being honest, when you said how you acted about breaking or losing your guitar, i would have felt the same way losing my books (yes i am a huge book reader)
Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to ring that bell icon to be notified when I post new videos or go live on this channel. 🔔🤘🏻
me encantas como tocas :)
Hope ur doing ok Lonny 💙
We have the same treble cleff tattoo!!!
♫♪♫ Hi Lonny ♫♪♫
As mortifying as your guitar stories are to you... it is definitely meant to be YOURS cuz it came back to you twice... and like you, it has character... and like you, it could never be boring... just saying
I am going to tell you my story though this is not an object I hold dear to my heart it sure is a CRAZY story!!! In 2008 all my ID was stolen in another city and I reported it to the rcmp there... (had it all replaced)... 2018 I get a call on my voice mail to contact rcmp at this #... I had no clue what for so I called and they had my birth certificate!!! To which I could pick up in that city... at that time I had no way to get there so I arranged it for them to get it to my city rcmp so I could pick it up... wow 10 years later can you believe that!!!... I can't help but wonder what it's story is!?!...Pretty crazy huh Hahaha
Despite the age the guitar looks like very cool! And sounds the same.
Lonny is a real musician: he loves his instruments to shreds and has respect for them and he takes care of them real well. Approved!
I can practically feel your panic...If I had found my guitar THAT broken I'd faint on the spot 😂
5:21 You DO totally look EXACTLY like the drummer in that photo 😂🤘🏻
This guitar is more interesting than me
The way Lonny confirmed that by pinning my comment this is sadly hilarious
your comment has me dying lol 😂
May or may not be watching this instead of going to sleep. Definitely worth it though.
This is going to be a bit of a long one
I think my most treasured possessions actually all have something to do with BVB for different reasons. I think my most treasured possession is a frame with 4 guitar picks from bvb 2 signed posters, and my wristband from a bvb show. I have quite a few guitar picks from various bands but bvb is definitely the most special to me. I got to do vip with bvb for my 13th birthday at one of the Roxy shows (you weren’t in the band yet but I hope to meet you at some point in the future!). Andy complimented my brand new leather jacket and I told him it was a birthday gift for the show and that it was my birthday. I was very shy and quiet so I think only Jake and Andy heard me and they said happy birthday and i was so excited. I managed to get front row and about three songs in Andy came by and crouched down and sang to me. He held my hand over 10 times during the set and sang to me a few times. Jinxx gave me two guitar picks and Jake also gave me two at that show. It was the first time I have ever gotten a guitar pick at a show and I was stoked. I think at one point Jinxx tried to get me to touch the fretboard of his guitar but I was too anxious and kept shaking my head but he let everyone around me do it and I ended up being comfortable enough to touch his guitar. He pointed at the whammy bar and started having me do the whammy bar parts, at the time I was so anxious that I was messing everything up but looking back I don’t think he cared if I messed up the song. It was the first time I felt a real connection with a band at a show. I found some photos from that night online and there’s a couple of Andy holding my hand and there’s even a couple of just me in the crowd. My dad was with me and got some really cool photos too, a couple years later and it’s still the most memorable concert I’ve been too, definitely a 1 in a million story.
That’s amazing. I really enjoyed reading this story, thanks for sharing! 😎🤘🏻
Ok now I understand a lil bit just how frustrating and heartbreaking it must have been when Jake got his guitars stolen.
Also completely unrelated Lonny, I'm so sorry I feel like I didn't give you enough love during the meet and greet because I was so shy and nervous at the time. But it was nice to meet you! you guys were so sweet 🖤
No worries at all Azlin! It’s very normal to feel nervous during a meet & greet. I completely understand! It was nice to see you though, and I hope we’ll see you again soon. 😊
Unrelated but I really hope you’re doing well and are having a great day, Lonny! Much love! 🖤🤘🏼
You look soooo much like Brian May from Queen in those old photos!! I love it!!!
I thought the same thing!
I think my most treasured item in my possession is my bass guitar. It's my first bass and I have learned a lot if stuff along the way about music and why music is a good thing. It also taught me to persevere and to try new things. It also taught me a lot about music that I never would have understood beforehand.
Great story! It’s always a nice thing when we hold onto our first instruments. Glad to hear the bass has been able to teach you so much! 🎸👏🏻
Interesting and entertaining as usual! Waiting for more beatboxing videos!! You really should come to Twitch!! Much Love to you and Rhita🖤
Thanks Debby! That last one took a lot out of me haha, but I will be making more in the near future! Thanks for your support! 🙂
He looks like he never aged! That's probably because he's so optimistic and he shaves :D
Omg Lonny, it's really heartbreaking to listen the stories and I am so incredibly happy that it got fixed and you got it back, the bond is strong with the favorite things, I still have a lil tiny stuffed dog which I got when I was a kid and I always kept it in my hand when I went to sleep and one evening I couldn't find it and I was crying and my parents are looking for it in everywhere they even called to my nanny and in the end it was found and I was so happy 😄😄
Love the video!! Thank you Lonny, much love and stay safe!! 🤘🏻🖤
Thanks for watching the new video Tiina, and I really enjoyed reading your story here. That stuffed dog sounds super cute, I’m so glad you were able to find it again! 😊
@@LonnyEagletonMusic
You're very welcome Lonny 😊
Thank you so much!! 😊
I just took a pics of that tiny dog and I will show you it in Twitter😊
What do you know? Both of us were obsessed over LP's! I still have mine although it's an Epiphone, I still use it for just sitting and messing around as well as messing with riffs. I got it in 2014 from my dad for Christmas when I was 9. Although I'm a bass guitarist who uses Jackson, I still love it.
That’s awesome!! Epiphone make great Les Pauls. And Jacksons are great too. I used to own one a few years back. 🎸👌🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic I also have an Ibanez RG too. but i still prefer my LP. But Jackson is my brand of choice rn. Mianly because of David Ellefson from Megadeth.
How does this amazing human being not have more support? Just shows who really loves this man ppl show their true colors. To show someone you love them you gotta love and appreciate where they came from on their journey and what obstacles and challenges they went through 🤍 because BVB is nothing without Lonny 🤍 big fan of yours! It’s good to see others support this man!
It’s really nice to see a long journey with your guitar, hope more memories will be created in the future! 💕
I’m sure they will Natalie! Things like that only make use stronger in the end. 💪🏻
Many more shows on the horizon I’m sure.
saludos desde mexico, te amo lonny, me encantas como tocas
Well yay! I’m early! Love the guitar oml. I have a sunburst Epiphone les Paul that plays amazingly :) as always thank you for the good vibes lol :) now I gotta find someone willing to play a couple rounds of blackjack with me :,) so far no one does...damn 🥲
How’s it going Lonny? Can I just say, your videos and performance in alive and burning 2 are all amazing! I cannot wait for future shows and future videos to come!
I just want to say, thank you for being so wholesome. It's honestly kind of refreshing. I basically grew up with BVB and I remember watching countless interviews where the members were drunk off their ass, or trying to get laid, or something to that end. Don't get me wrong those interviews were funny at the time(especially the Bryan stars ones). But uh I have since grown up, and I no longer find that sorta thing as amusing as I used to. Anyway, my point is, even if I wasn't a fan of BVB, I would still watch your RUclips videos because you have a genuine passion for what you're doing and it shows, also again you just seem so wholesome. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air. Keep being awesome
Thanks so much for your kind words! I just try to be myself I guess haha. Always stay true to who you are, and right people who are ment to be in your life will naturally find their way in. Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the videos. All the best, keep in touch!
I have a lot of things that I own specifically because they are sentimental to me, but one thing comes to mind that's my most sentimental item-a heart necklace charm. So a little backstory on this charm: my family lives very far away from me and I only get to see them about once a year. The heart charm was a gift from my grandmother that says "A mother holds her daughter's heart forever"(which both represents my mom and my grandma). And m grandma used to have this insane jewelry collection, and she never wore much of it, so every year I went to visit her she would let me go through it and pick some stuff I liked, and the last time I actually got to see her I picked out this heart charm to keep. And now I wear it everyday to remind me of her. ❤️
That’s an incredible story! Those old family heirlooms can mean so much, especially after our loved ones pass. So glad you’ve got that to hang onto and remind you of your grandmother. 🤍
@@LonnyEagletonMusic Thanks for reading and replying! Family heirlooms definitely mean the most to me, and they help to make me feel closer to my family when I can't see them. ❤️
Ok this is about to be a very long comment! As you know me way to well with that stuff!
First off that Gibson is gorgeous that clearly is a given! Secondly nothing is better than having a professional instrument I got my first trombone as a gift from my parents at the beginning of my Sophomore year so almost two years ago and it is my closed wrap one and I remember my dad finding it because I really wanted one in silver and that is just very unheard of so when my dad found it I was so excited and we found and I was able to play on it like a week before we left with my band on our Europe tour we did! Thirdly that story about how your Gibson broke literally broke my heart! I actually have a similar story so last year for Christmas my parents surprised me with my second silver professional trombone this one is an open wrap and this is my marching band and pep band one my closed wrap I use for regular band and for jazz so you will actually see my open wrapped one in my whole audition video! But anyways so Fed X who was the company that shipped my open wrapped one did not clearly handle it with care and so the box was all ripped and crinkled! Then we open it and the leather case that the trombone sits in has a huge crack and pushed in so when I opened it I saw the bell was a bit bent which broke my heart that they treated such a beautiful instrument with such carelessness! So anyways I was like whatever we can get the bell re shaped later it still looks pretty much the same just a slight bent in the bell! So as excited as I was getting it I immediately take it to school to play on it because that is just what you do when you get a new instrument or toy as I would like to call them lol! So then like a week after getting it I am in band class in the middle of a piece and go to use the trigger and then all of a sudden the whole trigger comes unsoldered off if the trombone! I was so heartbroken and somewhat mad the whole day and so when I brought it home so I could bring my other professional trombone back to school as I told my parents what happened I literally broke down in tears at how sad I was! Lucky we found this guy who completely redoes instruments and so not only did he fix the bell but then we were able to get the trigger resoldered back on however instead of getting the original trigger system that Bach does with these trombones this guy asked if I wanted him to do his custom trigger system that makes the whole trigger system quieter and a lot smoother so of course I said yess and honestly even though it still breaks my heart to this day thinking about it being broken I love the new custom trigger and wouldn’t change it for the world! I also now have a new black case because of how bad the old case was unfortunately! But yeah I completely understand being heartbroken over those kinds of stuff! Fourthly to me personally all the little dings and scratches on my two trombones yes it kinda sucks but it gives them character and I can still remember stories from each one and how it happened so to me it also shows that both of them are well loved and that they are being played and not just on some collector’s shelf collecting dust! Fifth I do agree I say this to my friends all the time my trombones are honestly my babies they have been through a lot with me and I love them they are beautiful pieces of art that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world and it is really cool to see that you agree! Just this summer I made the decision to give my student trombone that I was using as my marching band and pep band trombone up until this year to my high school band program because then I know someone can use it and fall in love with the instrument as I have! It is also quite funny because I tell people this all the time not only did the band life choose me but I definitely feel in my heart that the trombone choose me! But yeah amazing stories thanks for sharing them because as I know with those kind of things it can be very hard! Your amazing Lonny thank you so much for all the support you are giving me! And thank you so much for being such a huge inspiration and someone I look up to and you and the rest of the band being my heroes! I have will have the audition video to you whenever I am fully done and edited with it but thank you again for actually going to take the time out of your day to watch it and give me feedback! Band as you can clearly see is so important to me and will forever be a part of my life and having one of my heroes actually going to watch my whole audition video means the literal world to me Lonny thank you so much! Hope your doing great and I literally can’t wait for the new album!!
Your videos are always so entertaining! Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on RUclips. Keep up the great work Lonny!
I'm early, yesss🥺
Love you soooo much💗
I have a vintage acoustic Yamaha guitar that my mom gave me. It was hers since she was (I wanna say )21-ish if memory serves. That's way back in the day (the early 1970s way before I was born). Anyhow, she gave it to me after getting a new one in 2000. She's had it for as long as I can remember and would play folk songs on it (songs ranging from Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff to songs by Bob Dylan). I started getting interested in it because I've been a Goo Goo Dolls fan since their first album came out back in 1989 and so when I got her guitar, I immediately gave it a name (It didn't have one before). I have named it Iris, after my favorite Goo Goo Dolls song. Johnny Rzeznik is my inspiration for starting to learn the guitar. 🎸
That’s amazing Irma! Goo Goo Dolls are awesome! Keep cherishing that instrument! 🎸👍🏻
If there’s ever a venue.. Red Rock! I’ve always been jealous of that one! Killer back story on the guitars 🎸
Thanks man! Yes Red Rocks was a special one for me, definitely. Glad you enjoyed the video!
You are the best fit for bvb and you and the rest if the band have helped me through some tough times and I'm forever grateful
Thanks Jon! Glad to be of help. Rock on brother!
my guitar (named Cole) is probably my most important possession, it has helped me through many tough times yet rarely leaves my room but its always there even just seeing it makes a bad day better sometimes
The thing I hold near and dear to my heart is all my guitars I love them all they are all special to me. One of My favorite guitars that I treasure most is my 1996 American made Paul reed smith. The Paul reed smith is special because it is only one year younger than me which is really cool and it sounds amazing and I actually got it for a birthday present a few years ago. So it is very sentimental to me and It’s also sentimental because it was the guitar I was using the first time I ever got money for play guitar.
That’s an awesome story! I love PRS guitars, sounds like a special one for sure! 🎸👏🏻
1:00
It’s got a nice sound to it. Hope you’re doing well Lonny 🤟🏻
Thanks Rory! You as well!
OMG what amazing stories! I did not imagine that a guitar could be fixed, being very damaged, I was quite surprised, I love your old photos when you share them !! Your cool hair in those photos! One question, how long does it take to leave it like this without curls? Does your wife help you with your hair? (I also have it like this, it's actually a big problem for me haha), I know that instruments are loved with the soul and are very precious, I don't know if it serves to say what is most precious to me but it also has to do with music .. I have been a dancer for years I had a disease in my hip (from the same dance) the doctor literally left me prostrate without being able to walk anymore, he said .. Resumo I was disabled. ... my husband looked everywhere for a solution until he got it. (while I was dying for not being able to dance and walk💔) at the end and after a long, hard and painful treatment on the spine I managed to walk again it was the happiest day of my life because they gave me my whole life vida !! .. so for me .. it can be said that my feet, my hands and everything else is what I appreciate the most since the day I walked and danced again was incredible! 💗 because for me music is life, and without she would not be the same to live! ... something I love BVB! They are my great motivators ... you too of course and that you came to the group, you made a great and very positive change! and you filled everything with energy! ❤ .. thanks for sharing this .. thanks for letting us share our stuff! you are amazing lonny!🦅👏👏
I too didn’t believe the guitar could be fixed, but alas it was! It only takes me about 5 minutes to straighten my hair actually these days. Not too long!
Thanks so much for sharing that amazing story though Pam. I’m so happy you were able to overcome that challenge. You should be very proud. 🙏🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic How great! I would be happy if it only took me 5 minutes on my hair but it's not like that hahaha😆, and thank you very much for your words of support Lonny💗 !! I always love to watch your videos! you are the best❤
Great video Lonny! That's one of the nicest tops I've ever seen on a Studio Les Paul for sure. I have a guitar that's sentimental to me as well. It's a 97 Japanese Jackson Randy Rhoads V. It was my first real guitar and my dad and I, loaded a full size drum kit in a Gio Metro car (Basically a pop can with wheels) and took it to the store to trade. The owner couldn't believe that we fit the whole thing in that little car, haha! I put a lot of play time on that thing. My dad and I always joked about that guitar from time to time, how we loaded that car up to go get it. My dad recently passed so that made that guitar that much more special. I haven't played it in years, as it needs fret work. I now have the skills to fix it, so I need to get on it soon. And restore it to it's former glory. I think you should go thru all your guitars with videos like this. Very cool to see and hear the stories about them!
Thanks Dewey! Yes the primary reason why I chose this particule Les Paul was for the color. I loved the natural look of the wood.
Thanks so much for sharing your story here with me. Those Randy Rhonds Vs are great guitars. They look so slick! I’m very sorry to hear about the passing of your father, but would love to see you restore that guitar to its full glory once again.
I do plan on making more videos like this in the future and turning this into a series. Thanks man! 👊🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic You're welcome, Lonny, and thank you! I'll do a video on it in the future. May chronicle the repair process also. Cant wait to see your other guitars!
Nice to see your eyes shine when you talk about the fact that you absolutely wanted this guitar and unbelievable what crazy stuff happened to it 😱😱😱 nice memories and thank you for sharing it with us!
Yeah this guitar means so much to me, as I’m sure you gathered in the video! Hoping to eventually make more videos like this pertaining to each of my guitars.
I actually baught my first Les Paul about a month before Covid really hit. The guitar that I had beforehand was giving me some troubles (the frets weren’t even on the underside, and they tore up the inside of my finger) so I started looking for a better guitar. I didn’t have verymuch money, so I was looking for something second hand on Facebook. While I was on vacation in Mexico, I had found an add (where I live) for a 60’s tribute Gibson Les Paul for $800. The day after I got home, I contacted the guy, we arranged a meeting, and next thing I knew, I had just baught a Gibson Les Paul for $700. Throughout quarantine I’ve played it so much, I feel like I’ve had it for more than just a year (maybe two). That guitar is definetely one of my most valuable possesions.
Thanks for sharing your story Emilie, that’s so awesome. Congrats on the new Les Paul! They truly are amazing instruments and I’m glad to hear that yours has been treating you well during these tough times. Keep rocking! 🖤🙏🏻
You must read things like this everyday, but i'm so happy for you, being part of BVB and seeing you so excited about it, uploading this little videos that make us feel closer to you, getting to know you a little bit more every day. They made the right thing chosing you , and i cant wait to see you guys back in tour, i'll be waiting here in Argentina.♥️🇦🇷
Also, that guitar has been through a lot and is still by your side, it's your soulmate, no doubt😂
Thanks so much for reaching out and saying that! I am very happy and grateful to be a part of the new era of Black Veil Brides. Can’t wait to come play for you in Argentina one of these days. Hopefully soon! Until then, glad you’ve been enjoying my content. 😊🤘🏻
I can relate so much to the sentimental value that an instrument holds . I remember the first ever guitar that I bought with my own money , bringing it home that day was like bringing home a newborn . I felt like i gave birth to it in a way lol
And one of my guitar got broken in half by someone purposely , so I feel that . Although mine wasn’t able to be properly saved , I still hold it in my collection .
The thumbnail tho 😂
I wish I knew how to play. Actually any guitar. 😭
Dude...I relate 100% to your connection with that guitar.
Great video And great story’s!
Weell the item that I treasure the most are also my guitars. I have an acoustic guitar that my dad gave me when I was 13 and my electric guitar that my sister gave for Christmas 4 years ago. I don't work in the music industry but they have being with me when I was down, and also I remember that I always wanted to play like Jake. I mean... I just love his style he inspired me to play an instrument. Oh, and also my ukulele.
Thanks for sharing this Daniela. Sounds like you’re gathering quite the collection of instruments. I love ukulele! And yes Jake is an excellent player. He is definitely somebody that I look up to as well.
Keep rocking! 🖤
Oh My God... This is the best thing that ever happened to me. Thanks for reading this mini story! Now, I'm gonna scream of happiness, you make my night. Love you lots bye
What stories you have! I can't imagine how you must have been feeling seeing that your guitar was broken in two or just missing... I'm glad everything turned out well in the end ^^
As am I! Of course I was extremely worried in both instances. So very thankful that things managed to work themselves out both times though! 🙏🏻😊
When I brought my guitar about a year ago, I broke the string within the first three weeks from getting stressed and tuning it to much.........real talent. Also is bvb going to be releasing any new music soon?
Oh no! Thankfully strings can be easily replaced. You’re certainly not the first person to have had that happen, I’m sure!
New music coming at ya this Spring. Stay tuned! 🤘🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic thank for replying, and yes! I'm so exited 😊
Also Lonny I forgot to tell you because my week has been a bit crazy because finals are next week! But on Thursday for band class my director did a private concert of some of his favorite chamber groups performances and the duet I did with my private tutor and worked really hard on was one of his favorites and then he commented to the whole class as mine started that it is a great example on how to spice up any audition because the duet was for an Etude that we use a lot for both our band auditions but also for our state band auditions! And then he told me that I did an amazing job and that it sounded amazing! I can’t thank you enough for how supportive you and how much that means to me because I know I would have never had the courage enough to send it in to be considered and the amount of support you are constantly giving me helped me to gain that courage to do something that I would have never done or even considered doing and would have really regret it so much if I hadn’t submitted it! So thank you so much Lonny it literally means the world to me!
🙏🏻😊
@@LonnyEagletonMusic I just got done with my hardest and most stressful finals today and this made my entire day! Thank you so much! Love you my dude! ❤️
Well. My dad (he’s currently 55) has been playing guitar for about 45 years (started when he was 10) so when I was 10 he started showing me how to play guitar and I picked up on it fairly quickly. Like before I was born my dad bought me a mini guitar but again it wasn’t till I was 10 till I really started learn annnnnnd my first guitar was a black and white fender strat then next was the sunburst les Paul I previously stated in another comment, and my last guitar I got was a black and white Jackson Randy Rhodes Flying V :) I’ve played small gigs at local bars/saloons by our house and in 6th grade I used to play in front of the entire 6th grade every Friday morning with 2 qsc (I forgot how many watts but it was like a little over 2000) speakers and a fractal axe fx 2. I’ve taken a long break and getting other things done lately I haven’t really had the time to pick it back up but the last time I did (a couple months ago) was an amazing feeling. Now as for my dad he’s been collaborating with his old best friend who lives up in Austin (while we live in Houston) and doing increeedible rush covers and now my dad wants me to do vocals for the fall out boy cover they already have the tracks down on (it’s sugar we’re going down) and my dad wants to do gold fingers cover of 99 Luftballons cuz I can speak German without a problem 😂 but yeah my dad still plays and ig that’s our story.
That’s awesome Taylor! I love Rush!! Best of luck tracking vocals for the Fall Out Boy cover! Thanks for sharing your story. 🙏🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic rush was my first concert! I was only like idk 5 😂was amazinggggg and thank you I'm gonna need all the luck I can get 🥺💕
This is so cool! I'm currently a teenager saving up for a guitar. I look up to you a lot
Thanks Breena! Keep saving, it’ll be worth it I’m sure! 🎸🤘🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic thanks for replying Lonny. I cant wait to get a guitar it will definitely be worth it!
She's friggin beautiful man! I feel the same way about my 3 fender basses. I got a red 1994 P-bass, a cream 1995 Jazz bass and a silver player series Jaguar bass all within a couple months of each other, and they're pretty much the only basses I play anymore lol
Sounds like a great collection! 🙌🏻
Lonny, you're so fun to watch. This was a cool one!
Thanks Emily! 🙂
@@LonnyEagletonMusic You're welcome. Keep up the awesome work!
Really Interesting and Cool Video Lonny!
I liked it!
See, I had an old Epiphone Les Paul 100, i sold it about 5 years ago, it was my first guitar. Just about a week ago, i got it back and upgraded the pickups. Love the story of your les paul man. Rock on. 🤟🏻
That’s awesome! Our first guitar will always be a special one for us. Glad you were able to get it back! 🤘🏻
I was so sad when someone stole my brothers gorgeous blue flying v guitar while he was on a regional tour. I cant imagine how it would be if it was mine. Sorry the ex roommate did you dirty like that. I'm glad you were able to get it back! I cant think of any object that has been through something like that with me.
Yes, stolen in instruments (or stolen anything for that matter) is the worst. I’m so sorry your brother had to go through that!
Dig the stories. Your videos are always entertaining.
Thanks Danny! Was a pleasure chatting with you earlier this week. All the best brother! 🤘🏻
I loved this video !!!!
Man that Les Paul has some nice tone. CRAZY stories about it too. Damn. 🤯
That throw back pic no way
I have a Camaro that I have purchased three times in my life. It was the first car I ever bought with my own money and I drove her for years until my father told me to get rid of the hot rod and buy something sensible. I did so, but then when I saw her the next year she had been trashed, so I bought her back and began to rebuild her. Then I met and married my husband and he said oh no this isn't happening, and he talked me into selling her. 21 years later I repurchased her, brought her home and he and I combined our dreams and built her from the ground up. She is never going to be sold again. She is my first love. She is burgundy metallic and has always been known as Gypsy, but lately she is considering being reborn as Scarlett........
Wow Terry that’s an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m glad to hear you’ve been reunited with your Camaro again after all these years. Keep her safe! 😎🤘🏻
I totally understand your sentiment toward instruments. Until we had children I always told my husband I'd save my violins before him (now the kids come first, obviously). After all they were my first loves. Does anyone else name their instruments? My violins are Raymundo, Fred, and Celeste.
I’ve never been one to name my instruments, I more so just refer to them as “The White One” or “The Les Paul” etc haha. Thanks for checking out the video though Grace! Happy holidays to you and your family. 😊
I have been wanting a new guitar for a while now because mine is not that great but this makes me want to get this guitar very badly😂
There are many great options out there for a new guitar, but you can never go wrong with a Les Paul! They have a very thick sound, which is great for classic rock, but also suited for many other styles as well.
Great story man💪🏻💕
Thanks Marcel! 👍🏻
That is one smooth sounding guitar. 🎸 I thought the name of the guitar sounded familiar so I did a quick search. One of the most legendary guitarists of all time Slash of Guns N' Roses uses a Gibson Les Paul. Coincidentally, your hair in your younger photos looks like Slash. The object that I hold dear is an Avenged Sevenfold hoodie that I purchased the first time I seen them in concert. That hoodie has bleach stains and holes in it, and it has shrunk over time but it is still my most prized possession. 🖤😊
Yes! Slash is one of the main reasons why I wanted to play a Les Paul. Him and Jimmy Page were big inspirations for me.
That hoodie sounds awesome, and it sounds like you’ve been through a lot together too. I’ve only ever seen A7X play one show, it was on the Nightmare tour with Mike Portnoy. I hope to see them again some day. One of my favorite bands easily.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic A7X have been my favorite band for almost 15 years give or take. I got into the band after high school. Saw them live 3 times. The first time was on the Cities of Evil tour in 2005. That's where I got the hoodie. They always put on a killer show! I think merchandise purchased at a concert holds more sentimental value than something just purchased online. It's nice to have the ability to say, I remember when I bought this at this show. I hope the world returns to a semi state of normal soon because I would love to see Black Veil Brides for the first time. 🖤🤘
Definitely! You can’t beat that feeling of buying something directly from the concert tour. Always a perfect souvenir and way to remember the night!
we’re so proud of you lonny🤘🏻
💙💙💙
I loved this video so much and it's actually soo inspiring
Thanks so much! This video is one of my favorites on the channel, glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻
That is one very beautiful axe!! I had a 85' Fender Strat I picked up when I was 13 I think, it was my baby, but sadly when the Pandemic hit, my wife lost her job, and I had to sell it to pay mortgage and buy food, broke my damn heart. I've always wanted a Gibson L.P., but my god they are expensive, and not on veteran benefits....One Day I'll hopefully own one.
Thanks for sharing your story here Michael. Always a challenge when we have to sell our gear to get by. We’ve all been there at one time or another.
Hope you can acquire a Les Paul at some point down the road. They are definitely pricey, but well worth the cost if you can manage it! Cheers brother!
I really like the slow way you talk, and your smile seems charming to me❤️️. I don't speak English but I love listening to you, uwu❤️️. the translator helps me understand you
Bonjour Lonny ! :D Omg, this poor guitar has been through a lot ! And i like the pictures a lot, with your 80s haircut lol
I miss that hair! Will definitely have to bring it back someday 😉✂️
@@LonnyEagletonMusic Pourquoi pas ! I would like to see that in the band xD But your current haircut is great too ;)
I have a Les Paul 1950s Gold Top and it plays absolutely beautiful. My uncle had to sell it because covid hit him hard, couldn’t play any shows. Plays like a dream
On an unrelated note, the things that have happened since you joined BVB have been so noticeable (The Night, RSTW, Scarlet Cross and Alive and Burning 2) ❤️
Shameless self promotion I did vocal covers of Heavens calling and WSTW if you want to check them out. Not the best but oh well ❤️
Those Gold Tops are beautiful instruments! Love the look of those. Thanks for your kind words Ben, much appreciated. Glad to see you digging the new era. Just checked out your vocal covers too, great work my man! 👏🏻👏🏻
Nice. What happened to one of tone knob ?
It fell off at a gig one time and I was never able to find it after the show. Must have gotten kicked into the crowd or something haha. One of these days I’ll get around to replacing it!
Dude .. hell yea my dude 🤘🏾
That guitar is soooo prettyyyyy
I agree!! A gorgeous top. That’s originally what drew me towards this particular model. Luckily it felt and sounded great too!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic maybe one day I’ll be able to get one too!!
@@rayvenreplayz4135 I hope so! They’re great instruments! 🙏🏻
Your best vid yet. Love you bud.
Thanks dude!! 😁
If you think about it, that poor guitar has had such an intense life journey of its own, in addition to the moments of your life its experienced with you. Interesting to think about it like that in my oinion.
Also, I think it would be really cool if you could do a video with Sage, if thats possible. Kinda like the vid with Matt Reilly, and maybe toss in some stories from the Andy Black tour.
Yes! Sage and I had discussed doing that together a while ago. It never ended up happening due to scheduling conflicts but I would definitely still be up for it still if he is!
Lonny: What do you hold close to your heart?
Me: I love my imaginary friends
Wow great stories! Definitely a lifer guitar haha the ones you'll never part with!
That is really cool! I can see how you can become so attached to it! Did you hear the story when Chuck Berry punched Keith Richards in the face for touching his guitar? Lol, I love rock history.
Haha I hadn’t heard that story before! I do enjoy rock history too. Finally got to visit the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame last year in Cleveland. Was a very cool place, and somewhere I had always wanted to see. 🤘🏻
you have the same lock combo as me 000 i set it to that i think.
The best combo! Very hard to forget! 🤘🏻
If my friend ever stole a guitar from me I would be extremely cautious with who lays their hands on it that’s not me
Lonny eagleton me gusta tu guitarra y voy a tener una como la que tenía Jake Pitts o jinxx en la canción knives and pens y una cosa mas lonny cuando escucho BVB coloco las músicas en mi WhatsApp y a todos les gustan salúdame desde Chile
i have several objects, but i have a stuffed bunny ive had for over 14.5 years(im 15) and i sleep with it every night

When you edited your comment the like from the video creator will be disappeared
I’ve tried this before and I almost panic why this happened it’s actually a rule from youtube to prevent bots or spams :/
@@natalie6935 aww thanks for telling meeee but at least i have an ss saved ✌ second time he's noticed me and i still got so excited. he's one of my biggest role models
Holy crap that Les Paul sounds great! I've had a Traditional gold top and Tribute. None of them sounded this good man! Was that your Kemper?
Thanks Mckinley! Yeah this video was all recorded through my Kemper. Glad you liked the tones!
why do i always get these notifications days late
Great story bro , what pickups does your LP has ?
490R and 498T
❤❤❤
where is now the squier strat ? you sale or giving to someone?
I still own it and play it! I’ve since decked it out though and upgraded nearly every part of the instrument. Planning on making a video about it sometime.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic cool good work i cant wait for the video💥🎸👆
I have this EXACT same guitar!😂
Studio Premium Plus! It’s a great one! I once met another guy who also had the same one as well. Hope you’ve been enjoying yours! 🎸🤘🏻
wow im early
Pittsburgh hmm
i mean if im being honest, when you said how you acted about breaking or losing your guitar, i would have felt the same way losing my books (yes i am a huge book reader)
They were definitely both difficult situations to deal with. Not fun at all. Thanks for checking out the video! 🙂
Whats the name of your home town?
Kelowna, Canada. I was born and raised there. Eventually moved to Vancouver a few weeks after I finished High School.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic cool! Think I've been through there on a road trip :)
Nice! It’s a very beautiful city. Hope you enjoyed it!
❤❤❤❤❤❤

That poor guitar must have ptsd. It’s been tortured
Yes, as a matter of fact I think we both do 😓
