Not only is Kirk Hammett the lead guitarist for Metallica, one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time, but he's also the curator of one of the world's finest collections of monster-movie memorabilia, a collection few people have ever seen. In Too Much Horror Business, Kirk finally unveils his near-mythical treasure trove of rare posters, props, costumes, and toys from the early silent classics to more modern fare. From Bela Lugosi's annotated Dracula script to the creepy Donnie Darko bunny suit to cool model kits from the 1960s, Hammett has amassed hundreds of items over the years, including priceless international collectibles as well as the quirkier toys of his youth. Alongside scores of full-color, original photographs in this highly designed volume, Kirk offers up thoughts about his appreciation for all things scary and fantastic, shedding light on not only the collection of a lifetime, but the man himself.

I really like Kirk. You can see he's totally a kid at heart, and always such a nice and down to earth guy in interviews and documentaries. And what a fantastic collection of horror memorabilia.
You said this comment so honest. I saw them qualities in Kirk. I love him, also 💋😁
In all honesty if anyone doesn't like Kirk must be a weirdo or be that too far up someone else's ar#r or their own to not even see daylight 😂😀😂😀😁
He’s Filipino. Every Filipino is a kid at heart.
true but have you heard his jokes.
Kirk
It used to be at his home ( at the Some Kind of monster doc) When did it become a museum?
Kirk's best line at the end "Sometimes I think, am I collecting this stuff, or is this stuff collecting me?"
11:30 aww, how cute, photoshoot with Kirks mini-wah's
We need a Metallica museum, Kirk's horror collection, James's hot rods/bike's/guns etc, everything just thrown together.
Lars' old tennis rackets?
Jason's paintings
Lars’ tennis rackets, Jason’s art, and Cliff’s bass guitars should be added too. Not sure what we can add for Rob and Dave
@@marcthedashergd6321 for Dave you can add his signature beer or his own guitar
Lars millions of weird abstract paintings
James:(Car Collection)
Kirk:(Horror Collection)
Robert:(Surfing)
Lars:(Unknown)
Lars is a painter
Lars: Art collection.
And he likes the cinema a lot. He's friend of Lars Von Trier
Xd
Kirk surfs a lot too..
collection of tooth picks XD
I still have my book, perfect condition and signed by Kirk!
Patrick Michalski give it to me!
Why hasn't Tim Burton hired Kirk to play a role in one of his movies yet? It's so obvious that those two are brothers from different mothers.
Doctor House because he would be a terrible actor lol
Right? Strange comment...
Doctor House I was thinking working with Rob Zombie. Not as an actor, but like a producer or editor or something.
you know who else is Burton.
I totally agree!
Kirk is a good guitar player and a very interesting character ( in a good way )
He's not "good" at guitar... he's a "LEGENDARY" guitarist !
He is definitely one of the most interesting guitar players :D
@@lejlatiric7037 Man... To play guitar personally for 12 years now, and have LESSONS on the stuff he played and wrote, the legendary solos he put down in the studio with only 5 takes to nail it or they are out of tape for him. While learning them I STRUGGLED to get down his stuff over several hours, days, weeks, the things he got off the top of his head in minutes, that truly shows me great he really is, don't follow the heard because it's cool, the man can fuckin play.
His guitar playing has gone to a higher level in 2022. Some of their live stuff has blown md away from the last few months. Kirk has been playing like he’s in a shamanic trance, tapping into some kind of cosmic record
I guess you could say he's Some Kind of Monster. hehehehehe
Yes it's sad, but true.
HueHueHueHue
SAMMEH Hes the real PHANTOM LORD
that was so corny it was good haha
SAMMEH So What
Hit the Lights!
I had absolutely no idea this guy was such a hardcore horror geek! I love it.
Kirk is a pure collector, he doesn’t try to show off or show pride he’s simply an advanced collector who happens to be famous. He strikes me as a person who is still the same kid he was decades ago and his passion remains unchanged. Each piece means a lot to him and he has never forgotten where he came from. Because of that...I always enjoy watching him talk about his collection.
Kirk is probably the second nicest guy in the world.
Nada Hetfield of course his half filipino humble guy hehehe
Haha ikr James Rock
+Nada Hetfield Who's first?
+TimTamTheTurtleMan Either james hetfield or michael jackson.
Nada Hetfield cool
Kirk is such an awesome and chill dude
Imagine spending Halloween with Kirk, that would be so cool
This is so cool they never really boasted their money like on cribs or anything like that but they are way cooler than any of those lame pop stars
Thats because they don't like fish sticks.
It's cool to see what Kirks interests are outside of playing guitar. What a great collection. :)
2:30 him talking about relating to the monsters was hitting deep.. but then that edit with him and the creature from the black lagoon with the music made me laugh out loud. 🤣
Kirk Von Hammett needs to make an appearance on a Metallica stage.
I really love how Kirk is his self and sharing his passion regardless what people might think of him. It’s means a lot to me since I also think I don’t fit in with people
"Am I collecting stuff or is this stuff collecting me?" What a great line, love it! Sounds like an idea right out of Tales from the Crypt or Night Gallery. Personally, I think it's very profound. I believe (some of) the stuff find us and it's obvious that Kirk has such a passion and deep respect for this stuff that there's no question it's found the right home. Stuff outlives us. Enjoy it, keep taking great care of it, keep being a good steward for these iconic pieces, you deserve them. 100 yrs from now, they'll belong to someone else, I'm sure they'll be very grateful to you for lovingly caring for this irreplaceable memorabilia.
11:30 mini hammetts!!?? i didn't know he had kids :O
Yes, Angel is 7 years old and Vicenzo is 5 years old. And the woman that Kirk is holding at 3:15 min is his wife.
That's art . The way he communicates especially . The world is better with him . Thanks for the video .
Wow this is cool to know that your a nerd just like us....I remember growing up and still having that urge to collect figures no matter what my age, still to this date. I always felt weird letting people know I buy toys as a grown man, people expect you just to buy a house have a family, grow old and die. But knowing I am not alone in this and that you should do what makes you happy. Of course all within the budget......I say to HELL with all those judge mental people and keep collecting. Kirk Hammett YOU ROCK and I cant wait for your book to come out.
hectorjr121 Hey dude, I don`t know how old you are, but I`m 21 and still love to collect Action Figures and toys of all kinds, from movies like star wars to Marvel and some anime heroes. Sometimes people call me child and think I`m weird for collecting all these stuff, so it`s really really nice to know that there are some like me outthere!! I`ll just keep doing what I like to do!! All these stuff remind me of not taking life as serious as adults are supposed to take.
Right on man I totally agree do what makes you happy...Keep collecting.
Agreed....
I remember when they came to play in San Antonio in 2017. That was my very first Metallica concert ever. Of course I had to get backstage passes. I couldn’t resist. I remember the feelings that overwhelmed me when I met Kirk because I am such a huge fan. After listening to their music from when I was just six years old, leading up to that moment and meeting my favorite guitar player, I was excited to meet Kirk, and I have to say he was the nicest person ever
All right, here's the thing, im not a true metallica fan, i love metal, but i don't like metallica too much, i like some songs actually, but im a gorehound, i love horror, and every single thing you got there, so my respects man, you have an AWESOME collection right there, if i ever get to see that room full of bizarre horror stuff, i would get high just by watching that..... so jealous. greetings from Colombia.
"I sleep in it" made me laugh
I had no idea he was so nerdy. Wonderful.
this is awesome kirk you should do a video with AVGN because you are both classic horror fans!! DO IT!!
Love listening to passionate collectors and their stories. An inspired and wonderful collection, Kirk.
Being the biggest Metallica-fan in history and a lover of horror-stuff: I have to get a copy of that book. It's perfect for me.
I actually just got the book & I love it. It's beautifully conceived, very interesting because of the variety of subjects that come up in his interview and the stories behind how he's acquired all his items. It's clear that it's been made out of pure passion & that he's put in a lot of hard work. It's really wonderfully kind of him to share it with us in this book. Thank you dearly, Kirk (if you ever read this).
Kirk cosplaying classic horror is amazing haha. Love him.
It is so cool and comforting to see you in your collection and hear you talk about it! Thank you for sharing this part of yourself. Love you soo much
Kirk thank you so much for coming to Australia last week. Watching you four play live is breath taking.
hes such a big inspiration for me we grew up so similarly with trauma n such and i totally relate with how he connect with horror! its so comforting looking up to someone who i can connect with
kirk seems like such a down to earth and awesome guy !!
Awesome thanks Kirk for sharing this with us all I appreciate it.
Everyone needs a hobby in their lives and this is one of the awesomest ones. Makes ya love Kirk even more
This is why I like Kirk a lot, we are very much on the same page when it comes to collecting horror memorabilia, I don't have the same skills as he does on guitar though hahahaha
That Mummy poster is worth more than my house.
I almost spilt my tea over my keyboard at 5:41!
I love Kirk man... for one since I was a kid in the 90's listening to Metallica (born 89) cause of my dad, and older influences I loved Kirks amazing guitar... two I love how humble he is, even with all his fame, he has zero ego, he's such a laid back chill, sweet guy, the total opposite of what the normal person would expect Metallicas guitarist to be like.... and three He's a horror nerd! He's a kid at heart, a collector, nerd, and fan of horror like myself. Man this guy is the best. He deserves his fortune, and fame. Kirk if you ever read this keep killing it brother! You the man. 🤘🏼
What a collection he's got some amazing pieces.
I adore these classic horror movies. Well done, Kirk. I wish I had the same collection as he has.
I love how much y’all do for the bay. It makes me proud to be from here knowing you guys call this place your home.
His big heart shines thru his gorgeous talented and humble. His the total package
So so cool kirk been collecting this art from just as long as you have!
So burnt out and proud! I love it! Dude was my guitar idol growing up.
I've watched this so many times and I love it so much!
Amazing collection you got there Kirk! Truely amazing!!
It was neat to see this side of Kirk. Cheers!
I have the book and his collection is amazing as are the stories of how he found some of these pieces, a great read!!
Perfect. Kirk and I love exactly the same things, I love horror movies and so on, and especially love Kirk Hammett ...
i just love kirk for everything. but now i love him more and more
He literally inspired me to pick up a guitar 4 years ago.. and now to this day, I have learned any and all songs by Metallica than I possibly can!!! \m/ MetallicA! \m/
I really appreciate you and your collection Kirk! You are awesome!
Dad who is One Direction?
I don't know son, we're Metallica fans.
pretty damn cool! glad to see kirk has used his metallica money well, kirk is like a modern day forry ackerman, and we need people like that!
I've got several small pieces sculpted by Mike and have met him on several occasions. He's one hell of a nice guy and one of the best sculptors working today.
I love his passion for his collection. I bought the book for my son...It is beautifully done!
Born and raised in Florida and mid Saturday, Creature Feature came on hosted by Dr. Paul Barer. Lol.
Loved every min of it.
What a treat this is. Here it is 2022 and I watched this not too long ago. I had watched the Gibson channel with Kirk talking about his love of horror movies. I definitely identified with it. I used to live in Riverside, CA 68-71 and half of '74 and I watched Creature Features but I'm unsure if it was the same one. I do remember seeing a commercial for it with a voiceover saying "Creature Feature(s)...hahaha...on Channel 11. I have a weird long term memory. Anyway, I never found out if it's true that Kirk Hammett owns the Silver Sphere. I read that somewhere a long time ago. I'm just curious because I loved the "Phantasm" movie even if my son thinks the special effects are old school haha. Man, those sculptures of Bela and Boris are far out.
When I was younger I was scared of Kirk Hammet but now I am scared of his house😱😱😱
He should do one of those scare pranks with that mask. LOL
What a cool guy, I could sit and talk to him for hours about his collection, and what a great collection it is! with Mike Hill sculptures and Basil Gogos paintings and posters that I can only dream of owning one day, I hope he brings his Horror Movie Collection to the D.C or Baltimore Maryland area one day, I would love to see it!
Kirk you’ve been my inspiration to start guitar and i wanna start watching the monster movies,I love the collection so Im probably gonna but the book and read all of it.I wish I could meet you and see your collection in person it’d be really amazing
Great documentary! Awesome collection.
My son, Pete (a Metallica follower)introduced me to this and I found it fascinating. Thanks for sharing with us a bit of your collection experience....
Got my copy 3 days ago and I LOVE it! As a fellow Horror collector (mainly of Scream stuff) I know what its like and how hard it can be to get some of these things
I wish this was longer!
now I like Kirk even more. I have never heard anyone play a wah pedal like him he makes the pedal talk
Awesome collection! And Kirk looks so cute and young :))) I adore him!
This is amazing! I had no idea he was into this stuff. Very cool!
you can get a clue from his guitars over the years, the mummy guitar, ouija board & white zombie etc :D
congratulations buddy. its cool to see you having fun.
Such a good introspective on kirk..I'm a big horror movie fan myself. Thanks for the post
Saw the Hammett collection yesterday at the Royal Ontario Museum, absolutely spectacular !
i just ordered the book online !! i can't wait to read it !! if only i knew this book existed sooner
This dude is my spirit animal, looking at his collection puts mine to shame 😅
3:15 lol ... nice collection
this is such a cool video, kirk is such a humble great guy he rlly inspires me to be myself, he’s definitely my favorite celebrity 💖
This is too cool Kirk! Saw you guys live last Saturday in Johannesburg, South Africa, You guys still rock! Thank you for your amazing contribution to music, big kiss \m/
Every member of the band needs to write a book soo we the fans can cherish them
Kirk should hook up with AVGN/CINEMASSACRE.
I would love to see james get to walk through his collection
sonnieandjacob that would be so awesome
Mike Hill, the artist seen in this film is a genius. His recent Wolf Man based on the famous model kit and featuring the likeness of Lon Chaney, Jr. is a masterpiece of the genre. The work was featured at MonsterPalooza a couple of years ago and is simply breathtaking. As any great artist , Mr. Hill evolves and improves with time and effort. For me, The Wolf Man is Mr. Hill at his absolute apex. I am sure though that he will surprise me again in the future. I can't wait.
Never too much I want horror to be endless
Carmen Bizet, Dracula, Horror,... you got a vision, a dream friend!! ,is the time to thank you Kirk for being my guitar teacher.
greetings from Colombia
I pre-ordered the book, it's a great book Kirk, you should be proud! As a horror fan, I really enjoyed it, and you even turned me onto some classics I missed! \m/
I just got the book yesterday and its an awesome piece to look at!!! :) he put alot into it and glad he did
I love how kirk is unapologetically himself 🤣. Id like to have a drink with him.
kirk is such an awesome guy i love him
I'm 55 and from Australia. I remember watching Creature Feature with my Mother on Friday night all those years ago when I was very young. Wonderful memories. And I also remember going to see Metallica at your first Australian or Sydney concert at the Hordern Pavillion. Way back in 1989 or 1990. Great concert.
I must have a copy of this glorious book. Not only am I the biggest fan of both Metallica and Kirk Hammett's, but of horror, as well.
i just finished the book and it was really well done im a collector myself with a pretty good size collection and his is just jaw dropping love Metallica as much as collecting wish I could meet him
I really enjoyed watching this; Kirk always comes off as really friendly and sweet natured; probably the sweetest heavy metal start on the planet loool; yeah he's really cool and his collection is amazing!! :-D Look at all that amazing stuff!!
So very cool. I had absolutely no idea Kirk was into this stuff. WOW! Dig the Boris Karloff collection, yea. Posters are beautiful works of art. Stone Lithiography is the bomb. Hard too. Props Kirk on such a killer collection.
It's an excellent book, for sure, and here's hoping it becomes an actual museum exhibit someday. I would love to see all of these paintings, posters, masks, toys, and especially the original props on display, for all of us creepy kids and lifelong monster fans to enjoy!
Great Book....congrates...keep rockin and shockin
Thats an awsome collection, I love that Bela Lugosi sculpture from White Zombie.
that frankenstein acoustic is sooooo beautiful
Amazing, I totally didn't know Kirk was into the horror stuff :D Now I finally know why his guitars look like that! Amazing video!
