2004 - Lucky Winner (Brandon Cook), gets the chance to Jam with Metallica! For more info on Brandon Cook, go here: www.myspace.com... www.brandoncook...
james hetfield is such a nice generous guy, the fan dropped the pick and james gave him another one, also, did the fan just harmonize the solo, sounded cool. metallica are awesome
James let the fan play the harmonizing solo that he usually plays with Kirk, and he just stood and admired what they had influenced on this young man. Plus he gave him a pick when he dropped his. Much respect. Love Metallica!!!
After so long of seeing this video, still proud of this guy. And it was really nice of Mr. Hetfield to give him his pick. :) On a completely-unrelated note, I hope all of you had a cool Christmas. Happy New Year when it gets here, everyone.
Amazing how a band like this is willing to have fans ( who can play ) come into their circle and hang out and play with them . That guy will never forget this experience . And they praised him at the end ( genuinely as well ) so cool !
when the guy did the solo of one kirk was like "holy shit is he playing that??" and awesome how he fingerpicked when he dropped his pick must have been the adrenaline of being with metallica
@@davidgarcia6796 not true. There's always a better guitar player out there, but Kirk helped shape the path of heavy metal by creating some of the best riffs and solos ever. No one can replace him bc of that.
@@pnut3844able anyone can replace him in metallica, it wont change the fact that he created the material and it doesnt have anything to do with his influence or impact on music and guitar, but any competent guitar player should be able to do his job in metallica, and better than he does hehehe
No way he'll ever forget that.See your like me you could tell he was so happy and ya no what else that dude had to be shitting nervous i would be but what a great vid.
I always enjoyed this video. This is Brandon Cook from Portland, OR. He plays in many local tribute bands including Appetite for Deception. Great player! Nice guy! He also currently plays in the band "Black N Blue".
That's an orgasm moment for any guitar player. To not only play with your idols for even a short bit, but to harmonize a solo almost note for note the way he did? Amazing. Luckiest moment of his life. Congrats, kid.
People saying that no one congratulated him? Because at the end there was a ton of clapping and I even heard "You killed it!". And who cares if they didn't anyway? It's not like they are the only ones who know their songs.
mquirk00 I made the comparison in the 80's when the video for One came out. There is a scene it that just clicked in my head "he's the fucking Cowardly Lion!" It's good to know I'm not the only one.
I still remember it. I just posted this video on my FB page, my band is on the Foundations Music chart right next to metallica. we are number 1 on the top 10 gainer chart and metallica is #2. I shit you not.
The dude was about to cry at the end. I fully understand, getting to play the music to perfection with it's creators has to be one the best feelings in the world.
Amazing again, at 0:58. James passes him another pick and Brandon continues to shred like a maniac. Thanks the guys at the end and everything. That was EPIC!
@TheRoknman actually at the beginning kirk looked at what the guy was doing ( the tapping thing at the begining of the solo) cause the guy was onlly tapping 4 times instead of 8 times before changing notes ( look carefully and compare their tapping) and then he got impressed by the guy could keep up the paste :)
This actually made me smile. If i ever become famous muscian (dont hold your breath) i will try to reach out and play with as many fans as i can. This type of stuff makes peoples lives, they will never ever forget that day. Also, i can play alot of Metallica perfectly on guitar but id be screwing it up big time if METALLICA in the flesh was watching me. Lol
Nothing will be as cool as James Hetfield handing you his guitar pick
His guitar?
*Guitar pick*
Rock Dinosaur 😱
@Jason Talbot I and many other Metallica fans would much prefer James Hetfield.
I still have it. :)
Harmonizing the whole One solo? Holy fuck those are some great composition skills. Hats off to that guy.
+The Greenman cool. Not gonna change it.
In Burton We Trust Your name and pfp are amazing
LowResFastRes are you a warlock main?
SkorpionPlays I had warlock bc it fit my name, titan master race
LowResFastRes eww hunters are the best
Kirk is having so much fun he looks like a little kid who found a friend who has cooler toys
I would be smilling the whole time too knowing someone spent so many hours practicing one of my creations

I know brandon, he's a local guitar hero in our city. Plays in a few bands. It's great to see him meeting the boys.
ur acting like this is a normal thing for Brandon lmao
brandon sucks....
Brandon is cool. Be like Brandon.
@@dicksteptoe9199 you're right I do. :)
@@brandoncook2560 at least u admit it, dipshit. Lmao
james hetfield is such a nice generous guy, the fan dropped the pick and james gave him another one, also, did the fan just harmonize the solo, sounded cool. metallica are awesome
I played the whole song, plus Battery and Blackened with them. I made them late for the show.
@@brandoncook2560 Did you keep a pick?
He's everyone's dad. Such a cool man hahaha
@@TerminatorZXY i got a few plus James wrist bands and a pair of Lars drumsticks.
@@brandoncook2560 bro psot the videos on ur channel and also ur solo covers and stuff..make ur channel.alive
Very impressed...I love how he started doing 3 finger picking when he dropped the pick.... hardly missed a note.
thanks man. Lucky for me, i've fucked this up before, had to have a fail safe. :)
The closest we'll ever see to Kurt Cobain playing with Metallica.
Yeah, I was totally seeing that too!
Hahahah me too
***** si man, re heavy!
***** Kurt would have been whining the whole time about how everyone is enjoying themselves but him.
+TheSkully343 LMAO that is exactly what I was thinking
I love how you can see how much Kirk is enjoying himself
James let the fan play the harmonizing solo that he usually plays with Kirk, and he just stood and admired what they had influenced on this young man. Plus he gave him a pick when he dropped his. Much respect. Love Metallica!!!
Kurt Cobain shows improvement on guitar, nice stuff
he even learnt guitar the opposite way, respect!
He wouldn't even be able to play the chords
@@karlbertilsvennson7671 That´s so untruth
Depends how much heroin you give him first
Kurt actually could solo but didn't really try to be show off.
lol i love how he casually says "thanks james" and hands his pick back
"You wanna keep that?"
He is the rockstar now james is just the fan haha
After so long of seeing this video, still proud of this guy. And it was really nice of Mr. Hetfield to give him his pick. :) On a completely-unrelated note, I hope all of you had a cool Christmas. Happy New Year when it gets here, everyone.
im more impressed by how the guy started playing with his fingers when he dropped the pick.
PyroMonster94 Yeah, that's right !! I noticed that. That was awesome.
Happy New Year :)
This should be called Metallica - Fan solos with Kirk.
Amazing how a band like this is willing to have fans ( who can play ) come into their circle and hang out and play with them . That guy will never forget this experience . And they praised him at the end ( genuinely as well ) so cool !
They were exceptionally cool. I got to play two more tunes with them. albeit not as well as this...cuz I didn't practice them.
I think this was a contest
@@brandoncook2560 wasn't it a contest?
@@pnut3844able yes sir
@@brandoncook2560 thought so. Awesome name bro, my name is Brandon too!
what pixel is Kirk??
Fernando T the left
hahahah xd
hahaha epic!
That dude is a real life Guitar Hero! Love it!
when the guy did the solo of one kirk was like "holy shit is he playing that??"
and awesome how he fingerpicked when he dropped his pick
must have been the adrenaline of being with metallica
00:57 James was like: Fuck you,you are not Cliff
He handed him a pick haha
You are not cliff? Cliff was the fucking bassist.
Kamikaze PD I think you really missed the point...
3 facts about this comment. He handed him a pick. Yes
Cliff was bassist, not guitarist. Yes
You missed the point and you are stupid. Yes
the guy's talking about how he was playing finger-style like a bassist (cliff) before James gave him the pick
he should have played tornado of souls in front of metallica dudes
painkiller619 undertaker I actually know that, but my experience would have been quickly shortened.
He's not getting outta there alive tho xd
@@brandoncook2560 how did you get the chance to play with them???
I won a contest with a now defunct amazing radio station called KUFO 101.1
"Not wise"
Lars - "You wanna play a Metallica song?"
Brandon - "No? Megadeth"
Kirks like : Dam man this kid is gonna steal my job
At this point almost anybody could have stolen kirk's job...
@@davidgarcia6796 not true. There's always a better guitar player out there, but Kirk helped shape the path of heavy metal by creating some of the best riffs and solos ever. No one can replace him bc of that.

@@davidgarcia6796 ok so step up and let's see you do it then. No? Yea didn't think so.
@@pnut3844able hehe I never said I was a competent guitar player
He is not fan he is kurt cobain
THE MIGHTY Kurt could never play like that
@@duganred can you take a joke?
Cobain is half the guitarist this guy is
Cobain didnt like that shit
@@valedonjos are you stupid or something?
0:54 he goes from rockin out stance to bass player when he loses his pick. Lmao
it worked though gotta give him that
Lol
soggiest_august fucking god
Made that guys year, that was awesome that dude was right on.
I know that was so awesome,I fell happy for that kid, you know that was one of his best moments of his life, he'll never forget that forever!
No way he'll ever forget that.See your like me you could tell he was so happy and ya no what else that dude had to be shitting nervous i would be but what a great vid.
Kirk's like, This dude can rip as good as me!
I bet that was the best day of that guys life
Iron maiden style harmonies
You know, the One solo is a rip off from the Children of the Dead solo right. Also, the slow part of Master is a rip off from Phantom of the Opera.
EricMetalhead Sorry, Children of the Damned*
EricMetalhead that was the most bullshit comment ever
Onur Yemişen Have you ever heard both solos. They are fucking the same.
EricMetalhead hahaha dude you're high
0:57
-James: Take a pick you not are cliff stupid
Yeah, it's a bitch when you drop a pick on accident in the middle of a riff.
Yeah because cliff was the only person to play BASS (not guitar) with his fingers
@@davidgarcia6796 robert also playing only with his fingers.
@@davidgarcia6796 lots of Bassists play with their fingers
@@bakalaudia5620 WHAT
TH-cam is seriously the closest thing to time travel we've got. This video just popped up in my memory and sure enough it's still here.
That dude went away and made the one solo into a a harmony, hats off
This guy deserves all the credit in the world. He went and played with Metallica ON CAMERA and nailed it. Harmonizing with Kirk no Less.
I would've cracked my teeth biting on them so hard playing that solo along with Kirk.
I always enjoyed this video. This is Brandon Cook from Portland, OR. He plays in many local tribute bands including Appetite for Deception. Great player! Nice guy! He also currently plays in the band "Black N Blue".
Brandon you shredded this dude.
Wow, that solo harmony sounded absolutely amazing
It sounded weird, in a good way.
He looks like Kurt Cobain 1:00 onwards haha. Kurt plays with Kirk.
i wish kurt has been playing like him :/
Kurt Hammett and Kirk Cobain ;P
K
Thomas A. Edison Thanks for your compliments. I appreciate them.
Thomas A. Edison thomas go fuck yourself you shit minded biatch kurt was and is the best fuck off
It's got to be so cool to see a fan learn all your songs so well. Just amazing!
Kurt Cobain and metallica, NICE!
Kurt Cobain couldn't carry Metallica's jock strap.
0:14 COBAIN IS IT U?
Kirk:
Ok, my little padawan, you're ready to play in my place.Your training is now complete
That's an orgasm moment for any guitar player. To not only play with your idols for even a short bit, but to harmonize a solo almost note for note the way he did? Amazing. Luckiest moment of his life. Congrats, kid.
People saying that no one congratulated him? Because at the end there was a ton of clapping and I even heard "You killed it!". And who cares if they didn't anyway? It's not like they are the only ones who know their songs.
James Mullet Hetfield
It's called the ultimullet!! He said it himself!
The Table Mullet
Would you prefer him with short hair? I know I don't! No offence James.
Who gives a flying fuck about his hair????
best part about this....this dude is from Portland, where I live!
wow good for you.... :/ now your pointless life has meaning
Damn awesome, Brandon!!!! You never mentioned you got to do this! Pretty freaking RAD! :)
you can play this theme one Thousands of times and Thousands of times you never get bored to play it
same for sweet child o mine intro
I'm sure 3 million of the views are this guys' grandma.
0:58 that moment...
James's a life saver
I think the biggest compliment possible was james actually looking to see what he was playing
it was a huge compliment, he was super cool to me.
Rad as fuck with the harmonising.
I hope MetallicA put in a good word for this guy because he is not the average guitarist!
\m/
dude. thank you. so nice to read that.
@@brandoncook2560 did they try and hook you up with anyone in the business?
Man.. i thought he was going to play with an actual fan :(
:/
Dude NAILED IT 🤘🤘🤘👍
He didn't "Change it" he harmonized the whole damn thing. That my friend, takes talent.
Wanna play some Metallica songs?
LOAD UP ON GU- wait....
at 1:00
It looks like Kirt and Kirk playing together.
Kurt*
Kyle Woodford haha thx dude!
Pov- You searched for this 12 years later
METALLICA FEAT. KURT COBAIN.
James was not happy or impressed. He still looks like the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of OZ. lol
I've been saying that since the early 90's, it's funny to hear someone else make that comparison.
mquirk00 I made the comparison in the 80's when the video for One came out. There is a scene it that just clicked in my head "he's the fucking Cowardly Lion!" It's good to know I'm not the only one.
Lmao, just because he realized that a fan is better than his lead guitarist. Oh wait, video should be named like ''Kurt Cobain solos with Hammett''
lol, Kirk seemed to like it though!
Mephisto Pheles that's sad but true. But, I bet that guy couldn't write what Kirk can write.
I just put my head through my fucking wall...
0:58 good guy James noticed he dropped his pick and gave him a new one.
he is good
LOL This dude doesn't need a pick to shred!!!
Nirvana meets Metallica......
and Nirvana rocked.
and metallica metalled
i can die now
He will remember that forever. So cool. Very Jelly.
I still remember it. I just posted this video on my FB page, my band is on the Foundations Music chart right next to metallica. we are number 1 on the top 10 gainer chart and metallica is #2. I shit you not.
looks like battle of kurt and kirk
"You wanna play a Metallica song?"
"More like Megadeth mood"
James: -_-
Kirk 0.o
Lars: :D
who is doing the dishes in the background. .
The dude was about to cry at the end. I fully understand, getting to play the music to perfection with it's creators has to be one the best feelings in the world.
if i was james i would be like KIRK YOU'RE OUT OF THE BAND!!
You need grammar in YOUR band
YOURE right im sorry i meant YOUR'E out of the band dont take me to jail grammar police :O
YOU'RE*
Massimiliano Fiorini
LOL
theinsanitygamers007
I personally can't believe your grammar OR the fact that such a mundane comment got 14 thumbs up.
Better than Kirk...
How? He butchered the solo
Don't mention Cobain and Metallica in the same sentence. Cobain's not worthy.
Unless you say Metallica is better.
+1banana2kiwis did someone invite you here?
He thanks james for the pick, what a polite metallica fans
after 16 years... still with tears and goosebumps
One of my favourite videos.
These guys are amazing! They offer a time to a fan that they would have loved to be offered with their heroes 💪
ok that guy took off and killed it...these fan videos are cool.
it's great to see bands doing this with their fans!
Amazing again, at 0:58. James passes him another pick and Brandon continues to shred like a maniac. Thanks the guys at the end and everything. That was EPIC!
Great video!
I don’t know how I found this video but hella happy
i love this video :3. brandon tears it up.
I remember this guy from the megadeth forums (beercan?) Very down to earth and smart. Hope he's doing well.
yep this is me. Beercan. :)
The guy was harmonizing Kirk's solos! That's why they were so impressed.
Kirk was watching the guy how to play his own solo and tried to keep up
Brandon kicked ass! AWESOME AND TRUE FAN!!
THIS ARE THE TYPE OF HARMONIES I ALWAYS WANTED TO HEAR IN MY LIFE THANKS KURT COBAIN
Well done KID! great job, dream come true moment!
Man....I can't imagine what it would be like to have someone play one of my solo's note for note!!!! Look at the grin on Kirk's face!!!
This video gives me hope for our generation.
Thank ya james.
THUT WAS FUN :Y
OMG that is awesome, he came up with a harmony for One's solo, so cool!
COBAIN!! MY BRO! MY MAN!! I LOVE YOU!! YOU CAME BACK!!
Very nice!!
On the last harmony he played another harmony line instead of the one James plays but james didnt join for the 3 part harmony. Pretty cool.
james' hair looked really great,reminds of the mullets in '94/'95!
@TheRoknman actually at the beginning kirk looked at what the guy was doing ( the tapping thing at the begining of the solo) cause the guy was onlly tapping 4 times instead of 8 times before changing notes ( look carefully and compare their tapping) and then he got impressed by the guy could keep up the paste :)
I wish i could get a chance to do that!
wow hes living my dream... i cant imagine whats going through that guys head... that is amazing!
This actually made me smile. If i ever become famous muscian (dont hold your breath) i will try to reach out and play with as many fans as i can. This type of stuff makes peoples lives, they will never ever forget that day. Also, i can play alot of Metallica perfectly on guitar but id be screwing it up big time if METALLICA in the flesh was watching me. Lol
Love this Video !!! 👍🏻
