Such a humble man for such great talent. Can remember when he was a teenager in a back of a pickup truck with the rest of his bandmates. Got to see him play live in a little bar called DJ's Night Club in Colorado Springs back in 1985 on their Ride the Lightning tour.
One of my fav albums, "Ride The Lighning", and the one that got me into Metallica. "Creeping Death" really impressed me back then. I couldn't believe it when they hit it big with the Black Album. I never thought that this would happen. But I loved it, they deserved it.
@@Miguel-jm2pf What is the largest audience for which you've performed? For me it's about 300 back in the late 80s. By himself, he's pretty average and nothing as good as someone like say, Jon Gomm, but with James they are very similar to how the two clowns in the Rolling Stones feed off each other. He definitely needs Hetfield to be great, but then they are Metallica. He needs to put his wah pedal in the trash for the rest of his career, I will agree to that. He's used it enough for several generations of guitarists.
...now that EVH is gone. EVH always had a huge smile whenever he played, and loved to look straight into his audience for their reaction as if to say, "Isn't this fucking cool?!?!" RIP Eddie.
To everyone that’s bitching and complaining about Kirk not mentioning Gary Moore, he talks about both Green and Moore in length during the full interview. This is one short that’s cut together from an almost 2 hour long interview.
Yeah I watched the whole interview. Peter Green and Gary Moore are Legends!!!!! I just think its a shame that Kirk hasnt taken better care of Greeny. SMH!!!!
People judge everyone's character through a 1 minute clip nowadays, ridiculous. All because they can't be bothered to do a bit more research when they saw sth that piqued their interest.
@@atousonklisten to the early days demos with Dave and then the records with Kirk. He used the “riffs” and changed them up quite a bit and made them 10x better. Look up “jump in the fire” with Dave’s and listen to that solo compared to Kirk’s on the record. Dave’s solos were just fast and had no direction or correlation with the song.

Kirk Hammett is a totally underrated guitar player these days. He is a beast. Additionally he is one of the most humble and selfless guys in rock. You can't help but like him and he deserves the utmost respect for his playing. "Yeah we sell out, every seat in the house every time we play" - Jason Newsted
The same impression i get from James Hetfield when he’s offstage. Saw a short of him just a few hours ago where he was staring in awe at his own show’s pyrotechnics and fireworks. He still seemed like the young lamb version of himself from when he was younger. You gotta respect guys who have been in the game as long as they have and still treat every show like they have something to prove to us. And i get that impression from the whole band.
He's not wearing a skirt, pantyhose and barely any makeup nor has he been having romantic dinners with Trump, so he's no Steven Tyler even if there is a superficial resemblence.
Say what you will about Kirk as a guitarist but nobody can deny the man very clearly has a ton of authentic passion for playing guitar. Dude is like 60 and still talks about his enjoyment of music like a kid in a candy store. So wholesome.
He doesn't play the same thing over an over. I like the fact that every time a new album from Metallica comes out. People lose their mind over how it doesn't sound like whatever they think it should, or any of the original 4 albums did.
Imagine the Magic you would feel as a guitar lover, owning and playing this guitar. Unbelievable, I'm sure he had no qualms dropping over a million bucks on it.
I remember Kirk as a more of a low key personality seeing some kind of Monster when it came on dvd and so on, here he's like big Mama telling wild stories about the Bingo hall back in the 50's.
Kirk finally gets an approximation of the out of phase sound but doesn’t attempt to replicate the touch to get the haunting sounds that gave BB King the shivers.
I would love for Kirk to have a TH-cam channel where he tries out old, new and modified guitars and describes their differences and what makes each one unique and different.
That's exactly why I'd never want to own a vintage instrument I'd be too afraid to play it and if you're not going to play something because it costs too much what's the sense in owning it? Just to say you own a vintage guitar?
@user-rs7tv5lq5v well the thing is a lot of the greats tinkered with their items, and that's truly where the value comes in not just the guitar but what random quirks a guy accidentally changed and added to the instrument, like this one

Sam Li was the guitar repair man who first shaved down all the Flower Power wall paper Chris Squire put on his Rickenbacher. Squire then put reflected tape on his Rick & Sam Lee shaved it down more & painted it cream white. Sam Li said to Squire, please don't decorate this Rick anymore & Squire said he's never played a Rickenbacher with that sound he had with YES. Thinking loosing mass gave it some mojo.
Exactly! Massive disrespect to ignore the maestro, Gary Moore. Green sold it to his pal, Gary, for only £100 in....1970. Gary had it for THIRTY SIX years !!! until financial troubles made him sell it in 2006. Truly shocking that Gary's massive contribution to this guitar is so frequently left out.
Listen to Hendrix from the Monterey Pop fest gig; that’s the sound he’s talking about. Sounds closer to a Strat through a cranked 100 watt JTM than you’d think
