And while people argue about whether or not Kirk is a good guitarist, Kirk laughs at the pointless bickering knowing that he's made it big time with one of the biggest bands in the world. Which is more than most people on here can say
Haters gonna hate.. but i can say clearly that he is a guitar god.. not maybe in skills but in his musicality Listen to all the Metallica songs.. All the solos hammett has written suits the song perfect and fits right in there.. Kirk is a killer guitarist.. and i love him.. if u hate him.. my middle finger salutes you.
Absolutely right. He is awesome. Maybe it isn't skillfull compared to other guitarists, but I play guitar and have to say that it is very difficult to cover his Solos in original Speed!
Yeah that's how it should be.. Too many people get caught up in the comparisons and try to turn it into a competition .. He's faster he plays more technical.. He plays with the guitar behind his head.. All that matters is the sound.. For Metallica to survive so long, way after the departure of Dave Mustain he has to be doing something right.. But yeah music shouldn't be a competition.. Its not athletics or sport.. Its music.. Without Hammet Metallica would never have recorded Enter Sandman.. You may not like it but you have to wonder if Metallica and Metal music industry as we know it would have ever gotten popular like it has for bands like Metallica.. Sold out arena's millions of record sales.. Success! Sure they had a pretty good cult following before hand but the black album like it or not was the one that introduced them to the masses.. If Dave had stayed there would be no megadeth.. And maybe a different metallica.. You can't imagine Dave sitting quiet and not putting his stamp on the band and the songs they write.. He would play his solos how he wanted for good or bad .. James Hetfield and lars probably wouldn't have as much control over the writing process. Things would be different without Kirk Hammet..
Back then, I dont even think he wrote solos. He came up with them on the spot. When he plays a solo live, he also comes up with the solo on the spot. A lot of people don't realize that. Kirk even said it back in 92, he said when he is on stage and he is about to play a solo, without anyone else playing, he comes up with it right there on the spot. Without any practice or thinking beforehand.
@@IlDeimos Well, not to be rude or anything but... isn't it what improvisition is ? I'm not saying anything bad about Kirk. I think he did very good at this clip. Playing those kinda difficult lead stuff isn't easy playing in front of crowds and he improvises them and it's awesome. I'm just a little shocked, you found this information surprising.
Honestly people either love or hate kirks style, i love the crazy rapid transitions and the long shrieking bends, ill save the complex modes and 1000 mph sweeps to gilbert, petrucci, and syu
@@TheMusicalGrimm So does Zakk Wylde and he doesn’t get near the hate. Familiarity breeds contempt I guess. If you can lay a criticism on Kirk is stagnation. He hasn’t evolved his playing much since the Black Album era
@@BC08 cuz Kirk is not a soloist individual ego type he works on SOLOS to fit in the songs not to Impress that I can do this shit boring speed types Disney virtuoso solo..like YANGWE malmsteem
Kirk has always been a huge inspiration to me and I truly truly would love to thank him for giving me a awesome childhood without even knowing me. Thank you Kirk Hammett!
lets be honest, the people who judge or just straight out say that he's a bad player because their jealous of him XD....... i mean look at him, he's the lead guitarist of the greatest metal band on earth, who the fuck doesn't want that spot LITERALLY. and his guitar work throughout the years also HELPED the band get to where it is now
What the haters wil never understand is, that it's not just about technique and speed. Kirk is one of the players that I listen to that really plays solo's filled with emotion! Great player in my book
Imagine how it feels to have an audience of that size going absolutely crazy while you noodle on the guitar, hooked up to a wall of cabinet amps. I truly can’t imagine how good it must feel.
Kirk in his prime. His solos on AJFA were show off solos. Black album were toned done but were still badass. Load/reload most sounded the same, some badass. 2000-2020 is when Kirk just gave up. Also hearing Lars old drum set with that snare is amazing. I miss there old sound.
This "mindless shredding" and "ego" is the very thing some of us crave out of a guitarist, because modern guitarists can't pull off riffs and solo's this precise
Eu simplesmente amo Kirk Hammet!Esse momento do show me marcou muito na adolescência!Sensacional poder assistir no youtube algo que era raro as pessoas terem acesso a alguns anos!Kirk é fantástico e influenciou muitos mundo afora!
Most of the comments are years old, and some hate kirk, and others dont. But, if you play guitar and you grew up listening to classic rock and metal, theres probably a good chance hearing the master of puppets solo (the first slow one in em) or the unforgiven, with the big bends, or the tapping solo and heavy riff in one, just literally made you want to pick up a guitar. Whats crazy is how many really good guitarists there are out there, but someone will pop up and say slash is the greatest. Another will say balderdash buckethead can play faster and wrote x many more songs. When you listen to these guys, just think of how iconic their sounds are, and where their sounds come from. I always hear hendrix bends and harmonics in kirks playing for whatever reason. And how clear the riff is on just his part (listen to one without the rest of the band) he isnt the worlds fastest, but i respect him for creating that iconic sound that made that song what it was. And regardless of whether i think i will ever be better than him, i will never look down on someone so humble, that i still learn new things from all the time. Go back and listen to one of their songs 10 years from now and tell me you dont notice a slight accent on a note you didnt notice before. Sometimes i wish i had complete videos of kirk playing in order to properly write down his solos, but i have not yet seen or watched a "kirk" lesson where someone teaches or wrote out the right notes in his solo on one, for example. We all hear what we hear, my ears just tell me theres notes that not everyone else hears. I may not ever be the worlds greatest guitarist, but if i can separate notes with the clarity he did on some of their riffs, thatll be a good start or practice routine to develop better picking skill. Keep playing kirk and forget the haters.
Dunno what was the point of that Buckethead diss, but he is a way better player/musician than Kirk in practically every area except for being “famous”. And he is even more humble which seems insane but it’s true
Let’s keep it simple, all the people who say Kirk sucks? What are they doing with their life? Are they world famous for playing guitar? Then their opinion doesn’t matter! Kirk’s out here killing it every day since day one and the reason he is known is because he is good!! Simple as that, haters have no business judging if they themselves haven’t accomplished what he has! 💯
Thankyou my Guitar Hero Mr Kirk Hammet for the guitar solo , the whammy sound , the uniq voice, the passion ,the energy ,the music , because of you i start play guitar 🙏, that sound of your guitar who inspired me to play guitar!!
I still don't get why people say he sucks. He prob shreds 10x better than the haters, and he's just doing what he loves. And besides, music isn't about the shred, it's about the FEEL.
People think they are impressing people by saying he sucks. In their eyes people are thinking "omg he must know so much about music, he must be amazing at guitar!" They are just idiots, a real musician recognizes and appreciates a legend like Kirk. Yeah, he uses a ton of wah now... But he is still a damn legend, hell, he's the lead guitarist in one of the most popular heavy metal bands in the world...
Those are the same people who go on EVERY shred/solo video and posts comments saying "THEY SUCK THEY PLAY WITH NO SOUL". They are just shitty musicians who post negative comments to try to make themselves seem like they are real musicians, and they are NOT real musicians.
There seems to be a lot of negativity on how well Kirk plays guitar. Saying he isn't good, isn't logical. Everyone has their own playing style. Guitar playing itself isn't like taking a test, there is not right or wrong. Everyone is skilled in there own way.
Hey, Slayer is fucking awsome, Jeff in particular. In terms of technicality, no Slayer's solos aren't as good as metallica's, but it fits their style very well, and influenced lots of Death metal guitar players
he will alway be one of my favourites he was so good during this era of metallica. people say he has gotten sloppy which is true but we must take into account that he is over 50 and constantly at photo shoots and press related events he doesnt have as much time as he did in the 80s to practice and maintain technique as he used too but kirk will always be one of my alltime favouirites
Wow when I heard Kirk played I thought he was a machine or a robot. Fucking genius. Kirk Hammet is god. Alot of megadeth fans say he suck but the funny part is that if you give a guitar to many megadeth fans they won't play shit. They would just make stupid sounds. Anyways Kirk Hammet=GOD!!!!!
Lol how can some possibly say that this amazing guitar player is bad ? Look at his skill, look at the speed, he is one of the great guitar players of all times . Show me one slayer solo like this
Adam Yagudayev im not gonna lie he is a decent guitarist and has some good solo's up his sleeve.i love Metallica but Kirk's solo's really dont impress me.
this performance was great and i think he is pretty badass without the wah pedal, it's just when he starts to abuse the wah that he is just annoying; wah in small doses is fine and actually gives your solo soul, but when start stepping on and off wah like a maniac it starts to get a sloppy sound!
***** Great to hear some sense from a place of understanding. Like Slayer, Anthrax's first lead guitarist Dan Spitz was never inspiring as a soloist but did his job in the fabric of the band. Big 4 wise, Megadeth had Dave who got a lot better since Mettalica but alays got other guitatrists on board who could kick his ass on solos. Thats obvioulsy what he wanted as it was his band! I've always liked Kirk - just seems like a complete musician to me without the ego
+Tyreek Murillo I grew up listening to Metallica. learned about the members line up and all that. I prefer Kirk Hammett over Dave Mustaine because It's how I am naturally. I agree that Dave Is a great guitarist. Just that I grew up listening to Metallica. My parents put on Nothing Else Matters while I was in my mother's womb. Since then, I loved Metallica. Well I discovered them when 11 years ago. And they've influenced my whole life since then.
honestly.. maybe kirk had a bad skill on guitar ... but he have a clever mind to wrote a memorable Solo Until Today.... It almost Every Metalica Song kirk Wrote A memorable Solo With His Guitar....... agree?? #respect
Are you for fucking real dude. Don't let the handful of Megadeth fanboys steer you into thinking he sucks when he is one of the most influential guitar players in rock.
You can't deny that he's a great player. There are more technical players but he's definitely not lacking in that area at all, and he had way more feeling and soul in his playing then a lot of metal lead guitarist especially then. Anybody who says he is bad is just full of shit and hating for no reason.
Chase Wilson uh. yeah. no. Two different kind of players. Randy was more technical and was a guitar instructor by the time he was 18. Kirk just melts your face.
definitely not the best. he was rather incredible at this time but he became sloppy after that. we only remember this kirk, not the wah shithead who he is these days
If only i could`ve seen em when they were like this!! At they`re peak Metallica = the best metal band of all time!! This gig is immense! If you havn`t seen it all b4...Go buy it!!!

agree??
#respect
Thanks kirk
CZcams is the only known Time Machine , love this shit
So underrated
niyef360 so true
Are you for fucking real dude. Don't let the handful of Megadeth fanboys steer you into thinking he sucks when he is one of the most influential guitar players in rock.
Underrated?? Did you really just say that?? Quite the opposite. Nothing about him is underrated, more like overrated
minha parte favorita começa em 3:11 que harmonia maravilhosa

Idolo loko por ti aprendí a ser tan seco pa la guitarra 🎸🎸
Love love love it, rock the World Kirk!
You can't deny that he's a great player. There are more technical players but he's definitely not lacking in that area at all, and he had way more feeling and soul in his playing then a lot of metal lead guitarist especially then. Anybody who says he is bad is just full of shit and hating for no reason.
I'm seeing some Randy Rhoads elements in his shredding
Chase Wilson uh. yeah. no. Two different kind of players. Randy was more technical and was a guitar instructor by the time he was 18. Kirk just melts your face.
Yeah - I think he threw a couple of Randy licks/runs in here. He did that half step run that Randy did on the live Tribute album.
Yeah that's true!
Emocionante !! y magico Kirk !!!
doesn't matter if he uses wah or stay in the same escales and licks, the guy sounds GREAT. This is what music is about, the sound.
The wah is like a flavor added to blend food
One of the most technically precise guitarists in history. So clean!
Bruh
THE BEST GUITARIST!
Damn Right!!!
definitely not the best. he was rather incredible at this time but he became sloppy after that. we only remember this kirk, not the wah shithead who he is these days
Yes,he is great
Are you nuts?! Only narrow listener would say that. This guy isn't good enough to be a back up for Paul Gilbert!
Italian097 Absolutely, but for sure his style is pretty wicked
If only i could`ve seen em when they were like this!!
At they`re peak Metallica = the best metal band of all time!!
This gig is immense! If you havn`t seen it all b4...Go buy it!!!
favuloso me recuerda mi niñes tenia a penas 4 años cuando por 1ra vez vi ese concierto en VHS jejej lo tenia en mi video cassetera. saludotes bandoleros desde Mexico yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
.l. va para todos los imbéciles que se atreven a decir que es un terrible guitarrista .l.
Kirk Hammett es uno de los mas grandes guitarristas
Es extremadamente malo. Y si dices eso me demuestras una cosa: Que no tocas la guitarra
Esse Cara é FODA ao Extremo ...
Hell yeah! Awesome stuff..
