Kirk always sounds like he's on the verge of tears whenever he speaks.
it's his ADD
He suffers from high anxiety.
I also think when he talks, it brings up things that are close to his hart, very complicated guy. Cliff isn't far from his thoughts in any conversation, that's got to be tough.
"cry baby" too much....😉🤣
Not really. I mean a little bit, but have you listened to Bob Rock talk lately?
I could listen to Hammett all day, he seems like the person that relates to all of us the most.
That's because he is the hippie in the band. He's like the Grateful Dead or Plant in Led Zeppelin. Always mellow, respectful and nice to other people. He's the one who was nice to Jason while the others played the role of vicious SOB's while he was improving the band and doing his best. Yup Kirk is cool and of COURSE he love´s Hendrix. Hippie #1. Hard metal = Hendrix + Zeppelin + punk. There all good to me! As Ozzy would say ' Peace and love!'
@R Skip Was he? I thought cliff was a nice dude
Robert Trujillo seems pretty chill and no ego too
6:15 is one hell of a zoom in holy shit.
Not Javhian haha dead
Apollostic I didn't expect to get a potential Kirk meme from this interview.
Not Javhian When your teacher asks you a question in front of the class that you don't know
Not Javhian Extreme Closeup Garth!
Dun Dun Dunnnnn
Kirk seems like such a nice guy.
He might not be the best guitar player ever, but he'll always be my favorite.
Filthy rich, but as down to earth as can be.
Vote Hammett in 2020!
he always came across as a regular guy I could hang with and have a good time without the over the top rock star persona
Nihilous nailed it
Couldn't agree more.
Yeah he's one of my favorite too but is he up there with the best guitarists ...yeah i think he is....people on the internet just shit on him to much because he's not dave mustaine or he doesnt play it exactly the way they want him too...the worse is when they don't even play guitar or gig. Its inevitable that humans make mistakes but also need to explore creatively especially if your musician because as a musician your an artist... If your not playing with different tones and exploring different ways to play your stuff you might as well be a robot.
if just the solo on 'One' isn't enough to put him up there in the major league of guitar heroes..idon't know what is.?
Hamet/Hetfield = Lennon/Mcartney of electric guitar
I love Kirk Hammett so much. He is such a great guitar player and person
It is sad how underrated this man is. All of the Metallica`s biggest hits are based on his riffs. Enter Sandman, Master Of Puppets etc.
I mean he’s literally playing lead guitar in the biggest metal band in the world.
@@drmedwuast exactly I’ve never heard anyone say Kirk is “Underrated”!?!
@@irishjoe2941 people say he sucks so much to the point where he's a little underrated
Great interview, especially awesome to talk music with musicians... and Kirk is such a chill egoless musician.
True words about metal. Heavy Metal is the voice of those who experience similar struggles in life. It is a release and therapeutic to those who appreciate it.
Basically all music ever
Kirk is one of the most down to earth metal guyz ever.
Kirk is one of my favorite guitarists. New album is amazing
Unfortunately, he didn't really contribute to it, except the solos of course.
daniels8790 yea and too bad his solos these days suck compared to 1983-1991
True dat, death magnetic had pretty mediocre solos.
daniels8790 Unforgiven III ? This solo is amazing man
St Anger too, epic solo
I can respect Kirk because at least he tries to stay connected to his Bay Area roots, such as appearing on the latest Exodus album.
railcamp09 he is bounded by blood
Hell to the fuck yes! RIP Paul Baloff
Exodus is HIS band. It started because of him.
One of my favorite guitarists, Kirk's always down to Earth and has given us some of the most melodic and memorable guitar solos ever. I was disappointed he didn't have any writing credits on Hardwired, but at least he's still there.
You're into Lupe Fiasco?
He's been dragging the band down for ages now... Hetfield has evolved, Kirk and Lars stood still and didn't figure out anything new in the last 25+ years.
His solos on Hardwired go from "Heard that one before" to "You call that a solo?"
LMAO yeah okay. You do know that happens when you have over a hundred solos on your phone, you don't know about how to back up your phone and you lose your phone and have to come up with shit at a moments notice. Good luck trying that. He had some great solos on Death Magnetic and Hardwired actually had some pretty decent one's as well given the circumstances.
That zoom at 6:15 reminded me of that one time on Day of the Green show when the camera randomly zoomed into the sky haha
LOL i remember that!
XD I fucking lost it when they zoomed on Kirk like that. What the fuck camera man? XD
extreme close up
+Matthew Lenczewski WOAHHHH....
Wayne's World, Party Time, Excellent!!
When I was a teenager I would always run into the same 2-3 people from my high school at metal concerts. We eventually became more than acquaintances. When they would introduce me to friends of theirs, they would say “this is Steve, he listens to the real music”. That always resonated with me. It truly is a brotherhood.
I could watch Kirk Hammet interviews all day.
kirk is one of the best in my opinion. a good fella!
Awesome. Kirk seems like such a nice guy
Hate on all you want but Kirk is the lead guitarist in the biggest metal band ever. His sound and his playing are immediately recognisable. Much love to Kirk!
Kirk, while not the most technical guitarist in the world is definetly one of my Inspirations. Such a nice dude
your the best Metal music journalist in my books bro i really like all the documentaries you have put out! Thank you!
Thanks man!
been watching everything you guys put out...never boring and always informative...so thank you banger....\\m// \\m//
6:35 I always come back to this part in my darkest times. It always makes me feel better. Thank you Kirk for this amazing qoute, It's made me cry, in a good way.
Metallica was the reason I picked up guitar when I was 13 years old. And Kirk's playing influenced me so much back then. Nowadays, Kirk is just the average wah-guy, but I still respect him and he is such a nice guy.
same. hes living proof that metal is not about being the best or pleasing everybody, its about doing what you want.
When people talk bad about his playing, listen to the solo on To Live is to Die. So much emotion, and the tapping and finishing of the solo always amazes me. 30 years later never gets old.
If you can find it, Jimi Hendrix Atlanta fest 1970 - Spanish Castle Magic. His solo was so fast, almost early shredding!
What a great interview. Kirk is a great human being.
I never realised that Kirk has a stutter.
I'm glad he still steps up n discusses shit.
World class subject + excellent interviewer + no cuts = brutal honesty! Well done.
At 6:20, you can't see Kirk's eyes.
thank you for sharing this interview kirk is great for interviews and his answers were fantastic, kirk is such a great player it's great to see what's behind his genius....
such a down to earth guy. Rock music needs more Hammet..
thank you Banger for this interview with Kirk! It was an awesome interview! I loved how he explained why people that are metal heads are so connected with metal and it is how i am out right! \m/ \m/
Kirk is the kind of guy who makes you forget how prolific HIS guitar work was when he is describing the most influential guitar sounds. I STILL make sure my amp has the Ride The Lightening sound in it somewhere for when I want raw, loud and emotional...
He has been my favorite guitarist since I was around 8 or 9 years old. His style is just so different from everyone else's. And hes such a good person. I love him
awesome interview I'm so glad I found this channel
I've never heard Metallica. Well of course somewhere unknown in background, in passing. I'm stuck in older music but trying to open my mind, because I _know_ that musicians never stopped creating sounds and messages that speak to all of us. And I come away humbled by this man who shows such respect and love for those who built the foundation of his mansion of music. Thank you Metallica fans for urging us dinosaurs to give them a chance.
@KingLouisV Hah! It _is_ possible, I’m proof of it! It’s actually much worse: I can’t name a song by Rush, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Green Day, AC/DC, Radiohead, or the New Sith…. but I’m working on it. Seriously, rock on! 😃
Awesome. Great interview. Thank you, Sam. Hail Banger TV.
It's a great feeling when I see one of the good guys get rewarded with success. It's very easy to respect him and I hope he has 36 more successful years!
It must be so awesome to be friends with him I love his music his sound his awesomeness and just how down you earth he is . Truly one of the best guitar players I’ve ever heard or seen.
I could listen to Kirk talk about anything all day long🤘🤘
What was up with that zoom towards the middle? 😂
I was just about to ask that. Did they think he was gonna start crying?
They probably did it just to check the focus of the camera
That's the cameraperson checking focus, Thomas. Raw and Uncut videos show you some behind-the-scenes filmmaking moments as we present extended unedited clips from our archives. Enjoy!
Love this. The Hendrix and King Crimson bits are great.
The way he describes the first time he heard Purple Haze is the same experience I had when I heard Wherever I May Roam
Any Hendrix fan is my friend. He is well-spoken.
KIRK HAMMETT IS A ROCK LEGEND TO THE MAX
man, I HATE the fact that Kirk was left out of the Hardwired writing sessions. He low-key has written some of the best Metallica riffs. At least he has some awesome solos on there.
David Soule I thought the same when I heard this first time. I dont get this ...
David Soule They probably didn't like how he lost 200 riffs or ideas on his phone.
Everyone mentions the lost phone, but I say that's horseshit.. Just because he didn't show up day one with 250 riffs, they toss him under the bus? He's practically an original member of the band. IMO that's just not how a band should create music. One or two guys write the stuff, the other two are just puppets. That's like Megadeth style... He's obviously capable, just listen to some of his lead work on the album. Hopefully they don't dick him over next time. Makes me sad to see that Metallica seem to be creating a product to sell, not a collaborative work of art like the old days.
David Soule I agree.
David Soule Kirk has has several writing credits through the years, but it's always been a predominantly Hetfield/Ulrich show when it comes to songwriting. I mean, it's their band, after all.
That said, Kirk's solos on the new record, unfortunately, are nothing new or interesting, which is a shame because i otherwise really dig the new album. If the weak solos are any indication, then maybe whatever ideas Kirk did bring into the sessions just weren't good enough?
Kirk always has been my inspiration in music love him
Great interview I seen Metallica 22 times and Counting not many interviews with Kirk Hammett this is special thanks metal Evolution dude😎👊👍
Kirk Hammett RULES !!! 👍
Much much Love and Respect
JEFF!!!!!!!!!!! \m/
The new album has every sound they used through the years, all the stuff that sounded good.
Super intelligent interview!
This was awesome! Great video!
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome!! Good job Sam. Peace out, from the southern tip of Vancouver Island, B.C. CANADA
Kirk is one of the most intelligent people I've ever heard speak.
Of course only Metalheads will relate to this.
so true....\\m//
I believe that great music will stand the test of time. Kirk Hammett is one the greatest guitarist and Metallica has created a sound that will continue to inspire future generations of musicians like Hendrix and Cream and Deep Purple did and still do.
Kirk seems like a great person, everyone takes shots at his playing ability and him personally including the media and his own band members! They don't even let him write material and create leads,yet he doesn't seem bitter at all!I don't know how he does it!Bob Rock destroyed Metallica!
Dude he’s contributed to lots of song lyrics of Metallica and bob rock was only there to help.
Of course, they use his riffs. Enter sandman. Master of puppets, Creeping Death, Disposable Heroes, Hero Of The Day, I believe My Apocalypse was his also! Kirk is undoubtedly my faborite guitarist, but saying his band cuts him out isn't fair my man!
I love Kirk always will
Ooh I m in love the best guitarist and person ever I so understand, it s been since the beginning
Kirk is my inspiration!
nice chat with Kirk!
Very well said. I’m listening to heavy metal as an outlet!
This was great! Anymore interview extras from anyone? Would be great to see, love this format, very honest & open. Thank you in advance.
Thanks Bobby. Check the Banger Vault playlist on this channel. We 're adding new interviews all the time.
Did u get Hamster to sign your Metallica albums?
GREAT interview.
What made Hendrix so heavy. Listen to the intro on purple haze. The way he strums the guitar, the sound of the amp. Everything about it.
Yeah, Kirk Hammett is the best 👌guitarist player.
Hammet has great timing he fkn shreds I had a KH202 pretty sick guitar. He knows about Hendrix as well, smart man
Love sam dunn doc's , he is the professor of metal !!!
SO STOKED THAT YOU HAVE A CHANNEL, METAL EVOLUTION IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO WATCH, TO ME METALLICA HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST AND BEST BAND FOR 20-25 YEARS BUT THATS COMIN FROM A METALLICA NUT
Sam that was cool hope everyone pushes that subscribe button. we need an all metal channel.
The most mellow,down to earth and friendliest in Bay Area thrash!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
See when i was kid backstreet boys, nsync and music like that was popular and i listened to it. Then some friends and family showed me some rock like aerosmith and nirvana etc. Then i found metallica and here i am 13 years later....
He’s right about Jimi Hendrix and Cream, The song Machine Gun is very Heavy,Makes the hairs on the back of neck stand up on end. Grand Funk Railroad’s Paranoid on their red album from 1969 is a monster heavy metal song.
When it comes to interviews, Sam is the best in the business. A true fan
Kirk the best! :)
My favourite guitarist ever, don’t get me wrong Hendrix, Van Haven etc are great, just freaking like the guy. Idk, some laid back famous dude you could be friends with you know?
Kirk is so fucking cool
Someone can feel free to correct me, but to me, what's always made Metal unique is it's fan base. At every concert I've ever been to, ive found myself talking with someone I didn't even know as if we had known each other for years. Metal fans seem to be the kindest of fan bases. I could be wrong but for me, I gravitated to metal because I felt as though I was part of some gigantic family
Ans also, Sam Dunn is the best metal journalist. He's exactly us and how we feel about metal.
Kirk is such a sweetheart but I think a lot of bands are better when they have a ying and a yang relationship like James and Dave had the two personalities bring more textures and depth to the music
kirk rules!!
Very nice... I love it
Kirk is straight cool as hell
Kirk Hammett to me resembles with Albrecht Durer's astonishingly beautiful self-portrait ,the one that's in Alte Pinakothek in Munich :)
very wise words for a teenager.
I would like so much to hear an interview with Kirk where he honestly says why he was moved away from creating the newst album. I have a feeling it could be Lars` decision sort of revenge because Kirk founded his KHDK startup - see Jason`s case... I dont think it was about losing an iphone full of riffs. We will know some day...
What's the khkd set up
8:45 st anger reference
When I was 6 years old I was listening to Ozzys down to earth. Talk about Dark
Kirk saved my soul! I couldn't live a life of quiet subservient and play my fender without shredding my ass off thanks kirk
He's spot on wat he said about Jimi Hendrix Would love to see a video of Kirk an Joe Satriani having a jam that would be wicked
Heavy metal is a culture because its members have been cast out or feel cast out. We come together to form the family or group that we didnt otherwise have.
This guy introduced one of the best breakdown metal chants/riff to metal. Creeping death DIE DIE DIE
Cool I like Banger TV
the new album is really really good. def worth buying
Talking a lot 2 of my faves Hendrix and fripp
The latest album is fucking badass, Kirk did a good job on it too.
Kirk seems like such a stand up dude
If you haven’t heard it, Rod Stewart’s cover of “Angel” by Hendrix is incredible.
I really like Kirk’s style but He said wheels of fire was the first cream album, but either way I think he was one of the first guitarists I ever heard.
The amateur camera zooming killed it.
Those who like Kirk usually appreciate and enjoy various genre of music.
Those who can't stand Kirk, well, can't get him out off their mind, either. Hate him all you want, flame him with all your shit, he's not going anywhere. MetallicA will keep on producing music with him, and there's nothing you can do about it but listen. Puke, vomit, curse, smash your headphones afterwards, you will always come back to them.. and him.
