    Looking at how graceful Kirk Hammett looks with fewer words, makes me convinced that it doesn't need too many words or vibe or attitude to communicate nicely.
    My point is, he is super super important in the making of this gem record even when he's not let to speak.

    • @EmpyreanLightASMR
      @EmpyreanLightASMR Před 2 lety +7

      They never even allowed him to release a blues album when he was vibing that. I guess they let him and Rob release, like, ONE song (lol) this month, but I mean, even with all the mental changes James and Lars have gone through, there's still a huge stigma in allowing creativity outside of the band. And Kirk just kind of goes along with it. As incredible as he is at the guitar, I can't help but lose a touch of respect for his lack of a backbone, and it shows in every interview like this. He doesn't have a lot to say, but he also has nothing to talk about!

    Metallica did not release their first album until I graduated from HS (1983). So, I did not start listening to Metallica until 2016 when I started lifting weights. I got the pleasure of listening to all 9 of their albums for the first time back to back. Then the next year in 2017 they released a new album (Hardwired). It has been amazing. Thank you, Metallica for all 10 albums. I love them all.

Even though that documentary is like 16 years old, it shows their issues and how they work through them. But now, I think they have all grown and became so close that the tensions are in the past (for the most part). They are more like brothers than band mates now.

Incredible musicians. Love love love METALICAAAAAAAAAAAA… I Would love to see them again in concert…. My first concert was Monsters of Rock in 1987 I believe, we where at the Trojan Stadium and everyone started to break into the lower level, jumping the fence, 20 minutes later we were all in a huge mush pit by the stage!!! I got so close to the stage and, yes i was being squeezed like crazy but so so worth it, at one point they stopped the concert and ask for all of us to behave… REALLY?? There were chairs flying, people smoking weed, and just complete madness…..and yes, I also jumped the fence, I had 3 tries as the first 2 attempts security caught me and told me to go back… i was… HELL NOOOO.. but i did only to go back and after the 3rd attempt i made it to the ground level….. my friend who followed me, just walked right in as if he had a ticket and NONE questioned him…. BASTARD! He made fun of me the whole time we where there… unforgettable concert!

      I would imagine playing the Metallica songs is a breeze for Rob because he's just such a great bassist and makes it look so easy, I doubt he's as exhausted as James would be after a show with him having to do both rhythm guitar and vocals for 2 and a half hours straight. And James is very shy when he's not onstage, I think he values his alone time. I know Rob, Lars and Kirk are very sweet to the fans though which is great.
