This is gold, thank you all for making this possible, these memorys are the stuff that truly matters the most. To relate as real people, to see the past, the struggle of the early days with no money, no clue of when your next meal, or bottle of beer, or if there is another meal, or beer, or place to sleep, was the reality of these guy's. There was no plan "B". It was do or die, against all odds, and they did it! All my respect and love to the boy's. Metallica is the greatest band in the history of metal, in my opinion the best band of all time. Keep creeping Kirk!!!😊
Thank you for taking the time to speak about what you thought about the commentary. Was our pleasure to share this gold content with fellow fans. I invite you to check out our website www.metalmayhemroc.com
OMG what a gem this interview, the pictures and stories. It must have been so bizarre for Kirk, having just joined Metallica and recording with them. He did a amazing job with the solos. I know they are 90% Daves solos but the sound, tempo and the added wah made a huge difference.
@@danielgingras2427 Thank you for watching and commenting. We appreciate it. Lot of work went into this one and the end result has been received by the Metallica community with open arms.
I was front row at the load tour in worcestor mass. At the end the guys went around shaking hands n stuff. James kinda just walked by smiled and waved Lars ran around and smacked everybody's hand but Jason grabbed my hand like we were gonna arm wrestle n we touched fore heads and Kirk shook my hand with a very firm grip n said "thank you for being here" to me. I'll never forget that
That's the Kirk that we know and love. Thank you for listening watching and taking the time to comment. I invite you to go to our website www.metalmayhemroc com
Kirk is so down to earth. (And patient). You can tell how caught up in the busyness of Metallica and the music industry (he is). Kirk's old buddies are funny as hell. This podcast is the best.
This interview was just casually sitting in my recommended feed. So glad I clicked through… The amount of value this interview serves toward Metallica and metal/rock history is insane!

Thank you for taking the time and commenting and expressing your interest. Is a long time Metallica fan this was a treat for me as well. All we ask is you share it with all your Metallica friends.www.metalmayhemroc.com
Given their budget its actually not surprising that studio is not really a recording studio at all. They are recording the drums in a room with windows and a giant fireplace. Talk about guerrilla recording. ***its called black dog recording studio now. The photos match up.
Very humble. Good natured. We spent a bit of time speaking that never made it to the final interview. Really was generous with his time and it was a cool discussion.
I met one of the Old Bridge militia guys a couple of years while I was waiting in a bank, He was easy to spot because his jacket had Old Bridge Militia in the Metallica logo. He told me a lot of stories of partying and rocking out with all the Metallica boys in the 83.

Kirk is an absolute treasure. I was afraid that he lost his ability, but I went to Texas in August to see them and they're as good as they've ever been.
Love this video. My wife is from Buffalo and to hear of sheet pizzas and wings takes me to Western New York. I had no Idea they did Kill Them All in Rochester. too cool man.
KEA was so phenomenal. It was at the perfect crossroads of so many styles. You could hear the UFO influence as well as the GBH influence, and it had the same intensity of early releases by Venom and Bathory. The NWOBHM type riffs really made stand out too

This was a good watch. The old stories are awesome. I'm 39. So when Black Album came out, I vaguely remember my parents listening to it. Certainly enter sandman. But at 13 or so, kill em all was my Metallica album. So 1997. Load was out, but wasn't my speed at the time, however, Load and reload Now are my favorite periods along with Garage inc.
I'm 41 and I became a Metallica fan between the release of Load and ReLoad, so those albums are very nostalgic to me, but my first Metallica album purchase was the black album and I have Weird Al to thank for that because he put Enter Sandman in one of his polka compilations. I thought that melody was so cool that I had to buy the album.
Must admit, the just seen photos kinda mess with the mental perception we all built in our heads over the years. Of the times and actual places, where it all went down! Music and imagery are both important in the creation of a mythology. Metallica has a very rich backdrop to the sounds they created
Wow what a great thing to watch these guys seeing each other again and reminiscing after all these years. I feel like I was part of it. Fuck yeah!!!🤘💥💫
I truly felt like I was watching old buddies catch up at a bbq since adult life has taken over. Insanely cool and all best reasons why I love Kirk. Not only because he looks and reminds me of my dad, but his personality is truly just you and I, humbled.
OMG I remember the King Biscuit Flour Hour !!! I also remember Fade To Black was the very last song KNAC ever played !!! KNAC if people aren't knowing cause they aren't old like me , KNAC was our metal station out of Long Beach Calif. and Metallica was huge on that station in the 80's , I have been rocking with the fellas since 1986 !!!!! Love you guys !!!!!
I heard Rob Barrett of CANNIBAL CORPSE and SOLSTICE talking on one of the out takes of the Centuries of Torment DVD on youtube about buying a very important guitar to him from HOUSE OF GUITARS in Rochester. He said it was a Les Paul sitting in the window when he was an "unsigned" young metalhead. 7 years later he went back after getting into CORPSE and having two nickels to rub together, and the same guitar was still there and he was able to buy it. I loved that story. You guys at that store have heavy metal cred and a hand in the history. A legacy to be proud of.. I'm in need of a high gain combo amp. Maybe I'll check out the online site ( if you have one) when I'm done cruising youtube.
King Bisquit Flower hour with Preist ...... I hit record on my 8 track tape player, luckily I had 1 blank tape. I remember thinking just how lucky & happy I was listening to it.

Kill em all is to this day one of my favorite albums. The energy on that album is unmatched and to this day ive yet to hear anyone recreate that guitar tone properly

That was awesome. Kirk is obviously appreciative of his time in Rochester and recalls pretty much all of it. Nice works putting this interview together guys. Freakin' fantastic! If you want to carpool to Boston let me know. I can deal with being in the pit while you guys sip champagne backstage.
Kirt, you guys were a great inspiration for many of us as well. Kill em All did a lot for me changed my whole perspective, you guys were innovators. That album is among my favorite all time.
I wonder if Kirk remembers getting into a car with Brent and Dustin from Thought Industry in Battle Creek, Michigan on the Master of Puppets tour and going out to their house in Athens and jamming with them all day before the show at the Kellogg Center. Way out in the middle of nowhere.
This is amazing! I love Kirks interviews and his down to earthness and his memory is incredible. Dont forget he`s never seen these pictures and he`s just straight in the moment, taking us back there with him. Despite the hugeness of Metallica they`re still so accessible, theres still that connection with the fans and after 35 years (for me) I still feel part of it. For the record I got one of Kirks picks at the second Manchester show in 2019 and was feet away from him when he (as always) was thanking the fans at the end. A true gentleman.
just reached the end, it’s awesome seeing exclusive photos that haven’t been in previous documentaries. plus, the storytelling just paints a clearer picture. thanks guys !
It would be great to invite the Anthrax guys, they have a lot of stories about Metallica since they share their, apartment in NY at some point. Am I right?
This video randomly popped up in my feed and it’s so great! I grew up in Canandaigua but had family in Monroe County so I always considered myself a Rochester native. I got into Metallica in the early 90’s when I was about 11 years old. It wasn’t until a few years later I found out that they recorded Kill ‘Em All in Rochester and I was shocked! For my generation that’s like finding out Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones recorded their first album in your hometown. I’ve always wanted to hear the band talk about their experiences in Rochester so I just wanted to say thank you for this!
I had seen these pictures floating around and I'm so glad this interview finally funneled into my suggestions. Thank you for helping add to the legendary chronicles of one of the most important bands to ever exist. Thank you ❤
You're more than welcome man. We're very fortunate to have this content and have the connection with the band. We invite you to check out the rest of our content is you may enjoy what we do.www.metalmayhemroc.com
Amazing interview. I actually learned something new which is unusual for me these days with Metallica. It's great Kirk was all concerned with making it up when they didn't get on the guest list. Those guys never forget where they came from.
I really enjoyed this show. I stumbled across this channel because I was in my recommendations. I was psyched to see At the show is based right here in Rochester. I have family members who are friends with the host; Small world.
I nuat seen history last nifht here in Riyadh saudi arabia it was amazing. We are america s living in Qatar and drove here for our daughters 18th birthday . It was amazing !!
Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching the video. Is a lifelong Metallica fan it was an honor to give this early Christmas gift to my fellow Metallica heads. Enjoy the holidays and I invite you to check out our other content We do our best up here to bring you cool stuff like this.
What a great interview! To have Kirk and all you guys share stories and the pictures! More! I was 15 in the summer of 1985 mowing my parents lawn in the Florida sun….And my rides up on his bike holding two records. Slayer Hell Awaits and….Ride the Lighting. Left the yard half mowed cause I lived in a little town and Metal Music was hard to come by. We listened and read all the lyrics and all liner noted over and over that day….Then my buddy said oh Metallica has another record …So we grab the bikes and rode to his house a mile away as fast as 15 year olds could go on bikes….Kill em All was the record waiting for me. I’ll never forget that day! Thank you for such a great video!
You're more than welcome my friend. We're cut from the same cloth Guess back in the day being my buddies did the same thing ride our bikes down to local record store by albums. We all had paper routes or used to watch dishes at restaurants as kids and just bought metal albums. I invite you to check out our website www.metalmayhemroc.com
@@metalmayhemroc1851 Heck yeah man! Metal fans are the same everywhere that I've been. I moved from Houston Texas to this little town Plant City population 15k around 1983. It was like I moved to the moon HAHA! I was used to big city redneck's ..small town red necks are a different animal ...I heard LONG HAIR ALERT whenever I showed up to Baseball practice or riding the bike around town. Everyone was related in some way or knew each other all their lives. I felt like an outsider day 1 till the day I left that town. No record stores carried imports or anything heavier than say Maiden or Priest in that town. If it wasn't for tape trading or the occasional trip 30 minutes to Tampa to go to a real record store it was slim pickings on metal especially new metal. Luckily in a few years the Death Metal era began, and I was in the right spot and time to see all the now legendary Death Metal bands that came out of Tampa Bay area Orlando. CHEERS....Checking out your website also! Great video man! LIKED & SUBBED!
I can only imagine the feeling of hearing "Ride the Lighting" in 1985 when metal was a new thing. Even to this day, after thousands of times hearing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" , "Fight Fire with Fire" and the likes, I almost always end up thinking: "How the hell did a buch of 23-24 year-olds came up with this shit?" Gift from the Gods, for sure.
@@hugo2314 Up to that point Fight Fire with Fire was the fastest song we ever heard. We thought Motorhead was pretty fast at times Metallica was a step and beyond. Music was really different back then. Google what was on the charts as far as music in the summer of 1985 and you'll see what I mean haha!. Me and my little group of friends wasn't into the music on the radio and this new thing called MTV. It was like finding treasure when a friend brought you an album or cassette and said... CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!
@@FLORIDAROOMJAMS Yeah man, would've killed to be a teenager in the 80's. The same thing happened to me in 2003. Nu metal was everywhere. The heaviness of it captured my attention, but never really connected with all the gimmicks that came along with it. And then a good homie of mine showed me "Master of Puppets" (the track)...and it was game over. Die-hard Metallica fan ever since. It's crazy how the same process happens over and over through generations. Powerful stuff.
You have to do a video on when you guys get to meet the guys again in person!!!! This was soo good to hear, im from buffalo and this means alot to hear these stories..i remember lake shore record exchange and ron, they briefly had a store in Buffalo too, the penny arcade, house of guitars etc..and tou guys getting on the permanent guest list just made me so proud and jealous at the same time lol incredible
Thank you for reaching out and for commenting. We are going to the Boston show we've been in touch with management so hopefully there will be " part two " of the story.

We definitely need another one of these but with James and lars and Kirk and them reacting to the ride the lightning era.

It’s cool how animated Kirk gets, I’ve rarely seen him get excited in interviews 😂😂
It wasn't your ordinary interview. You were privy to like a fly on the wall conversation.
Hes clean these days :). Benzos take the life out of people. edit: and alcohol
Because Lars and James aren't there talking over everyone
It's always a treat hearing new (old) Cliff Burton stories. Great Show!!! Thanks Kirk!!!
Yes it is indeed. Thank you for listening and commenting
Finally we know who said "bass solo, take one"
I always thought it was cliff lol
Nope..it was Andrew.
How is Andrew's last name spelled? That should be entered into Wikipedia.

Thank you for listening... And from being from The "ROC"...
LET ME ASK YOU HOW DID YOU COME ACROSS OUR INTERVIEW?
i love how kirks laugh or voice hasnt changed

Seeing color pics of them in that studio is just mind-blowing. I've had images of my own in my head for so long.
Thank you for commenting and viewing. Bang that head that does not bang...
Given their budget its actually not surprising that studio is not really a recording studio at all. They are recording the drums in a room with windows and a giant fireplace. Talk about guerrilla recording. ***its called black dog recording studio now. The photos match up.
Those pictures in the beginning from recording the record are pretty incredible.
I dig how Kirk still has that kid like vibe!
Totally. thank you for commenting.
Kirk is really a humble guy..
Very humble. Good natured. We spent a bit of time speaking that never made it to the final interview. Really was generous with his time and it was a cool discussion.
He has to be - he doesn't practice any more 😂
this ruled! it was awesome seeing Kirk interact with people that he met before they broke big. killer podcast!
I met one of the Old Bridge militia guys a couple of years while I was waiting in a bank, He was easy to spot because his jacket had Old Bridge Militia in the Metallica logo. He told me a lot of stories of partying and rocking out with all the Metallica boys in the 83.
Yeah we met a lot of them this summer over the weekend up at the Jersey MetLife show. Great guys and girls.
This is wild! So crazy to see these pics and hear these stories for the first time! Best Metallica content I’ve seen in MANY MANY years. Thank you!

Kirk is an absolute treasure. I was afraid that he lost his ability, but I went to Texas in August to see them and they're as good as they've ever been.
That's certainly a lie 🤥
Love this video. My wife is from Buffalo and to hear of sheet pizzas and wings takes me to Western New York. I had no Idea they did Kill Them All in Rochester. too cool man.
It was the PIZZA PERDELER
KEA was so phenomenal. It was at the perfect crossroads of so many styles. You could hear the UFO influence as well as the GBH influence, and it had the same intensity of early releases by Venom and Bathory. The NWOBHM type riffs really made stand out too

You can hear the band listening to it on Cliff Em All. They played Tesla and Deep Purple.
I live down here in Rochester, I work at the house of guitars, I’m 19 and honestly I love this

Greetings from Paris
Amazing interview. I actually learned something new which is unusual for me these days with Metallica. It's great Kirk was all concerned with making it up when they didn't get on the guest list. Those guys never forget where they came from.
so cool seeing all these unseen pictures. great interview!
Dang this was soooo good. Thanks!
Legendary!
Love from Maui
I really enjoyed this show. I stumbled across this channel because I was in my recommendations. I was psyched to see At the show is based right here in Rochester. I have family members who are friends with the host; Small world.
Well I'm the host of Metal Mayhem Roc. I'm wondering who your family members are that know me
@@metalmayhemroc1851 Hi John, I'm Joe Lori's brother. I think you guys were neighbors at one time and she worked on your food truck for a while.
I nuat seen history last nifht here in Riyadh saudi arabia it was amazing. We are america s living in Qatar and drove here for our daughters 18th birthday . It was amazing !!
Are there any high quality scans of those photos? those are history and should be preserved!
@@xyz-zyx Yes in my hard drive...
We've provided high resolution copies to both Metallica and the Rock and roll Hall of Fame
King biscuit flower hour,always enjoyed listening to that.
What a great fukin vid!!I could listen to this kind of stuff for dayz!! Thank You!!🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching the video. Is a lifelong Metallica fan it was an honor to give this early Christmas gift to my fellow Metallica heads. Enjoy the holidays and I invite you to check out our other content We do our best up here to bring you cool stuff like this.
What a great interview! To have Kirk and all you guys share stories and the pictures! More! I was 15 in the summer of 1985 mowing my parents lawn in the Florida sun….And my rides up on his bike holding two records. Slayer Hell Awaits and….Ride the Lighting. Left the yard half mowed cause I lived in a little town and Metal Music was hard to come by. We listened and read all the lyrics and all liner noted over and over that day….Then my buddy said oh Metallica has another record …So we grab the bikes and rode to his house a mile away as fast as 15 year olds could go on bikes….Kill em All was the record waiting for me. I’ll never forget that day! Thank you for such a great video!
You're more than welcome my friend. We're cut from the same cloth Guess back in the day being my buddies did the same thing ride our bikes down to local record store by albums. We all had paper routes or used to watch dishes at restaurants as kids and just bought metal albums. I invite you to check out our website www.metalmayhemroc.com
@@metalmayhemroc1851 Heck yeah man! Metal fans are the same everywhere that I've been. I moved from Houston Texas to this little town Plant City population 15k around 1983. It was like I moved to the moon HAHA! I was used to big city redneck's ..small town red necks are a different animal ...I heard LONG HAIR ALERT whenever I showed up to Baseball practice or riding the bike around town. Everyone was related in some way or knew each other all their lives. I felt like an outsider day 1 till the day I left that town. No record stores carried imports or anything heavier than say Maiden or Priest in that town. If it wasn't for tape trading or the occasional trip 30 minutes to Tampa to go to a real record store it was slim pickings on metal especially new metal. Luckily in a few years the Death Metal era began, and I was in the right spot and time to see all the now legendary Death Metal bands that came out of Tampa Bay area Orlando. CHEERS....Checking out your website also! Great video man! LIKED & SUBBED!
I can only imagine the feeling of hearing "Ride the Lighting" in 1985 when metal was a new thing. Even to this day, after thousands of times hearing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" , "Fight Fire with Fire" and the likes, I almost always end up thinking: "How the hell did a buch of 23-24 year-olds came up with this shit?" Gift from the Gods, for sure.
@@hugo2314 Up to that point Fight Fire with Fire was the fastest song we ever heard. We thought Motorhead was pretty fast at times Metallica was a step and beyond. Music was really different back then. Google what was on the charts as far as music in the summer of 1985 and you'll see what I mean haha!. Me and my little group of friends wasn't into the music on the radio and this new thing called MTV. It was like finding treasure when a friend brought you an album or cassette and said... CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!
@@FLORIDAROOMJAMS Yeah man, would've killed to be a teenager in the 80's. The same thing happened to me in 2003. Nu metal was everywhere. The heaviness of it captured my attention, but never really connected with all the gimmicks that came along with it. And then a good homie of mine showed me "Master of Puppets" (the track)...and it was game over. Die-hard Metallica fan ever since. It's crazy how the same process happens over and over through generations. Powerful stuff.
Wow. Amazing Video! Thank you 🙏
Thank you for watching. Let me ask you how did you come across our video?
