Everybody here wants you – Jeff Buckley documentary

We recently stumbled across this great documentary, Everybody Here Wants You, about the life of Jeff Buckley. It was made by BBC.

Born in Anaheim, California, Jeff Buckley was raised around music, his mother being a professional cellist and pianist.
He was introduced to bands such as Queen and Led Zeppelin by his stepfather. At age 12 he decided to become a musician and he received his first professional guitar. He spent years afterwards playing many styles in different bands until he was contacted by his father’s former manager with an offer to help him record his first demo of original songs. Thus he recorded his only studio album: Grace.

The next 2 years he toured to promote his album and in 1996 he stopped at some point, planning to record his second album. The album was never finished as he died on the 29th of May 1997, drowning in Wolf Rive Harbour after a spontaneous swim.

Vintage & Rare had the opportunity of making a transaction possible together with Chelsea Guitars, for Jeff Buckley’s Fender Telecaster from 1983, so this documentary means a lot to us, especially because that guitar is featured in it.
Here is a Video about the guitar:

Our friends over at Guitar World recently made this great video with Metallica frontman James Hetfield visiting Guitar Center in San Francisco. At Vintage and Rare we are Metallica fans, so it was a great experience for us to hear James sharing his stories. We hope it will be the same for you.

James Hetfield shared a lot of stories, varying from his first cover band, first professional instrument, all the way to his decision to become a musician and his career with all its consequences.

He also talks about his new ESP Iron Cross signature model, getting quite deep into its technical details and also plays a few riffs during the video.
