This couldve became a 20-part series if Kirk never lost his phone
Maybe
Pretty sure James "lost" Kirk's phone for him but didn't want to admit it.
Lel. Lmfao. Laughed so hard. 🤣🤣🤣
Context?
@@arcanehornet I forgot what year it was, but Kirk lost his phone that had a bunch of voice recordings of possible song ideas and melodies etc. on a plane, and he said that there were over 250 or so recordings
Mustaine riffs are so recognisable
What do you mean?
@@almar9036mustaine riffs sound like they would fit right into a megadeth song
Wasn't phantom lord riff used for Sweating bullets?
@@VideInfra not sweating bullets, but this was my life in CTE and post American world in Dystopia
@@mikek3927 exactly
You forgot Blackened main riff. It was written by Jason Newsted.
I didn't forgot...im going to do part2 and part 3 where i'll include it
Ah ok. Can't wait.
@@b3fr1enderbetr4yer8 Thank you
Wasn’t there a whole story about how Newstead wrote that riff and then they flipped it backwards and they loved how it sounded? Something like that...
@@ObsidianLife the intro od Blackened was reversed , and it was Jasons idea
Cliff Burton:
-Writes legendary parts
-Lets James and Kirk play them
R.I.P. Cliff, he is legend
Ironic, The Bassist is the master minds behind many legendary Metal Riffs, and people still talk shit about us lmao
@@Snavels I mean, not *every* bassist in a metal band are the masterminds behind every legendary part
@@paradigmshiftz7 Oh I definitely know, and we can certainly be dumbasses, but in reference to Metallica, many of the legendary riffs were bassist written
@Casanova Frankenstein what do you mean speak for yourself? You literally just restated my point
Lars writes all of his drums on the ukelele
Lol

Wrong, saxophone.

A St.Anger Shirt!!?? very brave
We finally found the one that bought it !
Did the Best Buy exclusive St. Anger have a shirt that came with it like that? I almost seem to remember getting it the day it debuted at Best Buy... Quite some time ago, so I might be wrong. Anyone else have any recollection of that?
@@FatalFabs me too! I bought mine on the Madly In Anger with The World Tour in Helsinki in may 2004
Why? Is a great album
nice pfp
It’s crazy how Kirk wrote a lot of their most famous riffs
Yeah
Why is it crazy?
@@oscartomlinson11 I didn’t know Kirk wrote so many, it’s really cool cause kirks my favorite member
@@flaatheaad7544 he also wrote the fast part in the middle of Damage Inc.
@@TinyLegs15243 no way really? the gallop riff?
Playing riffs that weren't written by James while playing his guitar lol
James does the same

If we want to be more specific. The Explorer is not his signsture guitar. The Snakebyte, the Vulture and the Iron cross are his signature guitars
Lars Ulrich actually helped write Enter Sandman riff. He changed the configuration of it and Kirk Hammett like it.
Yeah, he did
Well, he basically did that more or less in every single song actually.
@@centocerez that's why he's mentioned as a creator of almkst every song
@@izajagieniak4640 arranger
@@izajagieniak4640 That’s an exception. He mainly takes riffs the others writes and forms them into songs
Wow, Kirk actually wrote some really iconic riffs!
He did
Lars wrote the Ride the Lightning intro on guitar apparently.
He wrote intro and Cliff wrote harmony
I thought that was Mustaine? He said it in an interview if I'm not mistaken.
@@juanmanuelcorrea7673 mustaine wrote one of the main riffs for the song, the one with the descending spider chord thing. Lars wrote the actual intro.
@@daralenoach Oh ok. The main riff is for sure his as he used it in Wake Up Dead too.
@@juanmanuelcorrea7673 nah, Dave said in an interview that Lars wrote the melodic intro
You can hear the Dave mustaine riffs the second you hear them kinda sounds like megadeth
He actually used some riffs in Megadeth songs that were written while he was still in Metallica
@@RudyTheRockKing I knew it I wasn’t too sure but I knew it 😎
jump in the fire doesnt look like Metallica or Megadeth look like motley crue or Van Halen
@@thedancingguy828 yeah, a bit...makes me dance for some reason 😂😂😂
@@RudyTheRockKing even has a clip where james dance to it lol
Kirk Hammett is a beast. Wrote song great riffs and memorable solos. Master of Puppets and Enter Sandman are excellent.
I agree with u
His solos were so clean and beautiful despite the fast and agresive style of Metallica. He's a perfect match for the band
Well he wrote the demo version of Master of puopets it was changed by James
@@sakurasfish2115 ..... I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not 🤣
@@JManners10 i spoke like a bot but wasn't being sarcastic lol it's funny saying he's good can be thought to be sarcastic poor hammet don't get a breather
Kirk also wrote the bridge to Creeping Death (and at 16), which is imo one of their best riffs
True
Love the tone and the palm muting, sounds very clean
Thanks
what i really like about Metallica is how everyone got to write stuff, riffs, lyrics. Everyone was able to put their ideas into the bowl
Everyone but Jason, and Rob
@@aarondavis4341 and Jason not even be heard on studio album
@@aarondavis4341 Jason wrote the main riff to “Blackened”
Except for the fact that James does most the work
Didn't know Master was a Kirk one. 🤘🏻
James came up with most of the riffs, but Kirk wrote some amazing stuff....Cliff also wrote riff for that song
Rudy The RockKing 🤘🏻
Kirk has a lot of badass riffs unfortunately bitch James and Lars don’t let him contribute to the band that much so that’s why you get a lot of 0000-3-5-6-0000 because James never learned anything else.
@@RudyTheRockKing Actually half the song is Hamett´s, The main riff was written by Kirk wich to me is baffling how people just skip jump that big fact been arguably the other super well know Metallica Riff, the other been Sandman (also Kirk), he wrotte the Riff you played in the video (great work), he wrotte the clean interlude with Cliff´s help at around year 83´ (part of Burton´s credit in the song) and the first part of that melodic solo. Burton, other than the clean interlude along Kirk, wrotte the descending riff based on a song called "Andy Warhole" that comes after the outro of the second solo. James wrotte the other half thoug, the Intro Riff, the variation of the main Riff (though that´s not credited), the verse riff and the variation, the chorus, the second part of the interlude and the outro of the first solo... Master of puppets is a big gian ass song, isn it XD.
Maybe i´m over extending with this comment right now, but i want to give a hint to spot Kirk´s riffs written for the band: *tritones* , yep, other than going to listen the riff tapes on the albums that just came available in recent years, the way to know what Kirk wrotte is focusing on tritones, in the book "Enter Night" Lars described how at the time of writting Puppets Kirk start giving a lot to the band and he focused a lot on playing tritones. Puppets Main riff and pre chorus, Heroes main riff, Eye of the Beholder main riff, Damage Inc main riff, Enter Sandman Main riff, Of Wolf and Man, and some others are all tritone based and all them where wrotte by Kirk, from the top of my head the only two tritone based riffs i know where written by someone else are Shortest straw by James and Blackend by Newsted (Wich makes a fun fact, Blackend, Beholder and Straw all share the same tritone but all where written by different members).
K, now i´ll shut up. Great video.
@@H.E.M. that's pretty subjective.
That Orion harmony...perfect
Your tone is phenomenal
Thank you
@@RudyTheRockKing What guitar and amp are you using? I see you have some EMGs in there.
@@RiffRock51 guitar is Epiphone explorer pluged to Focusrite Scarlett solo, and then i use free vst and some IRs
@@RudyTheRockKing what irs do you use?
Alice in chains ❤️
While watching your guitars and your way of playing i realise that we have one thing in common. The st anger t - shirt.
St. Anger is great, there are some solid and underrated tracks on it ( st anger , frantic , invisible kid...) , production sucks a bit , drums are to loud and sounds like garbage , but it gives it some rough feeling
@@RudyTheRockKing ikr
@@RudyTheRockKing I'm sorry but I don't know how anyone can dispute that St Anger is one of the worst metal albums ever made.
This was really good. And, I actually didn't know Kirk wrote the Creeping Death intro riff! Learning actual new Metallica lore these days is quite rare, so thank you! Kirk has so many song writing credits on songs where we don't know who wrote what, and it really annoys me to not know! 😅
czcams.com/video/0mV64Ox_7ek/video.html
Creeping death riff was a song for exodus when he was with them
@@amro.j96 Nice, I knew about the "Die" part riff was from Kirk, was those two riff from the same Exodus song?
@@Maggai yes it was a song in a demo but never got released in an album after kirk left
czcams.com/video/lS3ZBsuTy_A/video.html
@@amro.j96 Very cool! I can see how maybe that verse riff could be turned into the Creeping Death intro riff!
Can we just appreciate how good this sounds?
Thank you
@@RudyTheRockKing whats your pedal and your amp?
Not without acknowledging MUSTAINE.
@Cesar yes
Robert Trujillo wrote some riffs at Death Magnetic, one of them are the crazy part of power chords at the ending of The Day That Never Comes, that one needs to be in part 2, great video
And it Will be haha
I believe all nightmare long was also rob. They dub that riff the flamenco.
Ok so nobody is going to talk bout how he plays the fockin power chords with his middle finger and pinky
Lol what
The middle just hangs in there, watch closely and you’ll see the index holding against the fretboard
He does play with the pinky though, just like James does
@@ej22_gc86 damn ty.I guess my eyes tricked me.
@@ej22_gc86 i always play it with the pinky too
I don't even use my left hand .....
What about the main riff from blackned? It was written by jason
I know, it is going to be in part 2 or 3

Kirks Coolest riff is the one in Damage inc after the 2nd verse, the one in the bridge leading up to the solo (and after the solo as well).
I always loved that riff as well
Disposable Heroes - at least one of the riffs was written by Kirk
The fast one..
@@metalhammer5 which fast one
Goddamn I didn't realize Kirk wrote the King Nothing riff. That's like a guitar store must have for bass and guitar
Kirk wrote the Enter Sandman riff too, so it's no big surprise
@@marvintimke3978 did he write slither?
@@pkepix5405 He is credited on slither, so probably yes.
I really don't think that was Kirk. James said he was trying to come up with an Enter Sandman 2, and messed around with the main riff. Also Jason had said the bassline was written by James, which is the same as the guitar riff.
Kirk was on icons and he said that cliff would help and teach him and James how to do harmonies on the guitar 🤘🏼
Yeah, Cliff knew that very well
@@RudyTheRockKing Cliff was the only one of them that had any theoretical knowledge of music, since he also played piano and was into jazz stuff as well.
So no wonder he was the one teaching the others what worked in terms of melody and harmonies.
@@henrikhyrup3995 Thats true
Hammett doesn't get enough credit. Not surprised that beautiful melodic harmony part in Orion was Cliff's - reminds me of the triads in Anesthesia.
I forgot how awesome King Nothing is
I'm not a big metallica fan but king nothing is a fucking good song i agree buddy\m/
RIP Cliff :( such a great talent lost who knows what Metallica might have sounded like with him still involved.
Great stuff dude... editing and the organization of all of his is amazing for such a small channel. Subbed 🤘🏻
Thank you man, that means a lot to me
It makes a lot of sense,
James's riffs are more rythmic
Kirk's are more bluesy
Dave's are more melodic
and Cliff's come in harmonic composition than a stand-alone riff
Also this is an incredible video man thank you so much and for the explanation on who wrote what also inspired me to really want to get home the next time I have a chance to sit down and pull out some old tablature and really pick up where I left off 10 years ago playing Metallica rips riding my own metal stuff because after a few things in my life changed I got really into grunge and I became a drummer and I have never really got back into being a writing guitarist
I think that Dave also wrote The Four Horsemen
Yeah but megadeth released their own faster horsemen , mechanix
@@adamb9249 yeah ik, but still
On Metallica's first demo, No Life 'Til Leather the song is there as The Mechanics. Mustaine just adapted what he wrote and changed the song title. A video surfaced some time ago of James reacting badly when Lars suggests they play Horsemen, it's a tuning room video
CREEPING DEATH! Oh Lord that is one of the best songs ever. Rumor has it that Kirk dreamed up the riff at age 16 and kept hoping it would find its way into a full song... so glad it did! SO EPIC!
You gained a sub, damn fine playing
Thank you
Very interesting video! Great playing too!
Thanks
What a fucking great vid, you rock, man, hope you get a ton of views, you deserve it.
Thank you man, that means a lot to me
Kirk wrote that Creeping Death riff when he was 15!! What a beast!
Dude your tone is absolutely on point!
Your sound is awesome ! Great job
Thanks
Trapped Under Ice was Kirk from when he was in Exodus. Impaler 🤘
Dave wrote a lot of Call of Ktulu - and it's fairly well known the ascending acoustic intro section before the riff repeats is the same progression as Hangar 18.
Those tones are awesome dude nice job 👍
Thank you man
Hells yeah !! Rock on brother 🤘🏻(you got the tone really well)
Thanks man
Man, your Ride The Lightning tone is spot on!
Thanks
The intro of Ride the Lightning was written by Lars and the main riff and the interlude riff of Ride The Lightning was written by Dave Mustaine.
You really nailed the tones, awesome
Thank you
Nicely done!
fade to black outro riff is written by cliff, that's the most interesting one
Yeah
Fantastic tone, some of the best I’ve ever heard from Metallica videos
Thank you
Amaizing video one of the best out there
Thank you
Bro nice job! You got my sub!
Thank you
Awesome guitar playing. I will be subscribing just because of the St. Anger shirt, lol. What an underrated album.
Thank you. St. Anger is really underrated
Killer tone. Looking forward to your video about it. You nailed the signature tone change from album to album.
Thanks, i'll have that in mind while making future videos
Waiting for part 2!
Goddamn you’ve got some killer tone. Sounds like the album on most if not all the examples.
Hey bro, please, make a video talking about your tones and gear!
I guess not only me will love it! Keep it up =)
I'll defenetly try to do that
The tones are spot on \m/ 👍
You just got a new subscriber awesome vids man!🤟🏿🔥🔥🔥
Thanks
Kirk did write the riff for Enter Sandman, but the order of phrases was different. Lars reorganized it. Lars a drummer, but there's actually good reasons why he's credited as co-writer of most Metallica songs.
Honestly u cannot credit him for shit

The slides in King Nothing are crucial. cheers man nice video
Thanks
Brave man wearing that t-shirt! 😜 Dude, these are awesome and I love that you play them on James's guitar! 🤘
Cliffs' "riffs" are rather harmonies than rythmic parts.
no? there is a huge diffrence between a harmony and a riff. you can add harmony on distortion too? i think you tried to say melody still doesn't mean the clean parts are riffs
@@LeBronJames-sj7ds I said Cliff wrote harmonies, not riffs. He wrote some riffs, but the guy didn't show them in this video.
@@LeBronJames-sj7ds What you mean with ,,You can add harmony on distortion too?".
When you harmoize a riff, or melody, it's harmoized. Doesn't matter if it's distorted or not. Iron maiden did it a lot
@@marvintimke3978 that wad exactly my point my guy
@@LeBronJames-sj7ds Okey, the question mark just confused me
I love Cliff he was such a great composer
I thought "Am I evil" would make the list. A few of these surprised me that it wasn't James. Thanks for doing this.
Except it’s not a Metallica song. It’s just a cover.
Some of my favs in there
I'd advise to add reverb to your sound, cuz the clean part in phantom lord sounded a little empty. Otherwise sick video I'm looking forward to future parts
Thank you...I agree it is a bit empty
@@RudyTheRockKing rupa je rupa treba ju ispuniti bitno da se mali kupa
Jump in the fire's riff is so goddamn good
Your tone on ride the lightning was perfect
Awesome tone!!
Now I’m just realizing how many of my favorite riffs are from Dave.
two? wow thats amazing
@@Irsmaier two? Ride the lightning & seek and destroy are Full of dave's riffs and solos
@@yurisawaki9496 seek and destroy had no riffs from dave. Do your research and look at the writing credits
That jump in the fire riff is just tooo good, has that mustaine feel. Most of what I consider the best riffs were written by mustaine
Easily the weakest ones in the entire catalogue... i saw jump in the fire live and the audience was just completely dead, never seen anything like it at a metallica show
That song is weak
@@thrashmetal00 thats your opinion mate
You guys cool it with the Dave!
Bloody fantastic !!!!
damn the tone man, how do you get that sound? what gear do u use??
I use Focusrite Scarlett solo, free vst, IR etc.... Might do video about it
@@RudyTheRockKing okay man, thanks
@@RudyTheRockKing that would be a great video 🤘
@@RudyTheRockKing Was going to ask if you used a lot of album-specific IRs (following that one tutorial on YT) lol, they sound remarkably close! Great job!
@@F1r3Foxxxy I do use IRs
I really want an explorer, but they’re super expensive. Do you know where I can get one with emgs for less than $1000? Btw sweet playing man🤘🏻
My Explorer was around 800$, you can find them on Thomman or Muziker sites
There are many epiphone explorer around 700/800/900€ online, they are identical to gibson's
Damn, you nailed the guitar tone
Your guitar tone is amazing.

What is the model of that explorer? And what brand?
Epiphone 1984 Explorer

Thanks for King Nothing , one of my favorites when i play with my guitar
there’s tons
@Potato Man Yo can even say when he empty his load of Riffs... he ReLoad it
Four horsemen- mechanix
So what’s the story with that riff.
I’m under impression Dave wrote fast mechanix riff, Metallica slowed it down than Dave brought it back for megadeth
@@musiclovingmetalhead7085 so basically dave wrote that riff and they included the song in their demo album known as the mechanix. but when dave was kicked out they slowed it down and added some of their riffs. they did this till ride the lightning. master of puppets was the first album which didnt have a dave mustaine reference
Beautiful guitar bro🤘
Thanks
Love the tone 😍🤩🤩
Thanks
1:52 to be fair, this is James's version of the riff, as the original Kirk version is slightly different.
True
