i've noticed that when playing solos, kirk tends to use the bridge pickup while james likes using the neck pickup (at least on recordings), and i like how this gives both of them their own distinct sound.
I'm a neck pickup guy myself. I feel like the neck pickup just blends better with what's going on around it, and that works for James's solos which are generally more melodic. With Kirk you can tell he really wants his solos to cut through the accompaniment a bit more. It works.
@@DeanOMiite I agree, the neck pickup does sound more melodic. I think To Live is to Die is a great example of when the neck pickup works really well within the context of a song. I usually prefer the bridge pickup as I think you can get more personality out of your guitar when it comes to tone. That's one of the things that makes Kirk's solos great, is the amount of personality they have, and the unique range of sounds.
You missed an “Orion” solo, all the solos in “Whiskey in the Jar”, and though it’s unconfirmed, he’s definitely playing the harmony solo on “Inamorata”.
- Master of Puppets what a solo 😎🎧 No matter how many times they play it. - My Friend of Misery Damn.. James and Kirk Made a Beautiful Hamrnonies Solo, specially James. - The Outlaw Torn what a Beautiful and Underrated solo of James. Is a Jewel UwU 💎
the harmony was written by james, and is played by both of them. do y'all not understand how a harmony works? it takes two instruments to make one harmony.
In the 1992 San Diego Live performance of One (there are a few nother instaces where this happened) James and Kirk have a Solo Duel which leads to the End Harmony part of the Song A Sick Honorable Mention imho
I dont understand the hate for load and reload. You take metallica. Make them a blues,rock and roll, jazz, alternative, metal band. You get laod and reload. I personally really like thse albums
The problem of load and reload is a lot of filler songs. Some songs like poor twisted me or slither can be deleted and no one would cry. Also there is material for 3 albums of 9 songs in 2 albums. I love load and reload but that is the biggest problem in my opinion.
Theyre too long with a lot of unnecessary tracks. Also it can be a drag listening to an album like Load where the first half is 10x better than the back half
I agree both those albums have a lot of bangers. Thorn within, bleeding me, house that Jack built, outlaw torn, better than you, low man’s lyric, and so many others
I know you wouldn't wanna make another remake but he also played the solo on their cover of ecstasy of gold (at least he did live) and the unused solo from wasting my hate demo
I don't think they have more feeling, James just doesn't get to do them as much so when he does it's special. Kirk has plenty of solos with "feeling" he just also has plenty of shredding solos too.
You can tell which are his. He always has had a Bluesy influence in his solos. Kirks are good and all, but you can tell he's just trying to make it sound Metal, James doesn't care about his solos sonically, just as long as it has a soul and emotion in it.
Yeah it is and Kirk did not right the solo. Are you fuckin high? Where are you getting your info. Why would he write the solo and James play it live everytime. Come on!!
I’m a really big fan of Load and Reload. But if I had to rank the solos from those two albums by James it’d be 4. Thorn Within 3. 2x4 2. Carpe Diem Baby 1. The Outlaw Torn Well, all the solos by James are always nice because he knows how to lay down a good controlled solo
Me van a querer matar por esto pero me gustan más los solos de Hetfield, son cantables y expresan un montón con poco y se le nota la influencia del NWBHM en la forma de armonizar. Gran banda Metallica
I regret to inform that you are just completely wrong. Load/Reload are hard tracked, the solo in THTJB is tracked to the left ear which james chose up until death magnetic, It was James.
The 2 guitars jamming together after the chorus. Is yet again a product of Cliff writing and teachings. They work SO great and brings such dynamic. Nowadays i don't hear that. Haven't listened to M since St: Anger. So much shitty song and bad playing. Who are they trying to be out do? Reaching out to pop music? Grasping for a least breath as lying in last struggle before death?😅
It would be interesting to see what would happen if Dave was back in the band and both he and James traded lead and rhythm guitar roles and singing roles. I think it’d be awesome.
Calling something lame because of being not a super heavy song. Yeah, we saw you "metalhead", we already know you don't like Load, no need to make us remember each 5 minutes about your bad taste.
I know I forgot Orion solo
Maybe in the next video you will put him with the new solos of James in 72 Seasons
@@DiegoSandovalLopez4579 he didn't play any solo on that album!

You gotta hear the "unencumbered" mix, it goes on for like an extra minute! They had to cut it to get the album to fit on a cd!
According to the little book of 'MOP' cd, the guitar solo before Cliff's solo at 'Orion' is from James.
Would you be so kind to point out what minute of the song you're referring to...?
@@Mike_B. Of course : 6:17
ua-cam.com/video/TydZ4NAXMic/v-deo.htmlsi=mkePdHfaYvEjTkyG
@@Mike_B. Pretty sure its about 6:18 on the youtube version, it feels like a James solo to me
@@majormadcat It absolutely is.
true
although James doesnt have that much solos we can all agree that all of them are perfect
Suicide and Redemption is just *Chef's Kiss.* Didn't know he could even shred. He just talks himself out of it
@TheMarioExpertManyou call that shredding? that's quite a stretch

I didnt count harmonies here and only used the studios albums, not covers
@@Ryu_Ake What about orion? Not the harmony part, one of the solos was played by james
@@Gipsy_T.What minute in the song did James' solo start???
@@Mike_B. 6:18 I believe.
James doesnt play a solo in Orion other than the harmony part which isnt really a solo
Maybe in a later version you could include the James solos from Garage Inc. like "Whiskey In the Jar" and "Turn the Page"
I’m pretty sure Kirk plays the turn the page solo
@@michaeld102175 Yeah he does the wah and slide but James plays something at 4:13 mark
The video just isnt the same without that tornado of souls jumpscare between nothing else matters and to live is to die
I know but for some reason that part was messed after I added the other ones
The Suicide and Redemption solo is just godly🔥🔥🔥
My Friend of Misery was a combination of James's guitar solo and Bob Rock's (I guess) Synthesizer before Kirk's part .
No. Kirk used a volume pedal
- Master of Puppets what a solo 😎🎧 No matter how many times they play it.
- My Friend of Misery Damn.. James and Kirk Made a Beautiful Hamrnonies Solo, specially James.

Don't wanna be a smartass, but harmonies are always recorded by James only not but Kirk as well.
*Edit:* I see now even Ake mentioned it in the video.
Personally I consider the harmony from fight fire with fire to be a solo but I can see why some wouldn't
That may have been done by just Kirk, or Kirk and James.
@@Michael_VG it was composed by James, Cliff helped him with the harmony
@@marcinmcula99yes but who played it in the studio? Was it all James? If so I agree with you
@@Michael_VG i think james maybe played it at studio, but in live its played by kirk
the harmony was written by james, and is played by both of them. do y'all not understand how a harmony works? it takes two instruments to make one harmony.
I love this guy for more than 30 years.
That Outlaw Torn outro riff 👌
its so much fun to play too
And the full version is even better
In the 1992 San Diego Live performance of One (there are a few nother instaces where this happened) James and Kirk have a Solo Duel which leads to the End Harmony part of the Song
A Sick Honorable Mention imho

Honestly combine load and reload into one album and cut a lot of the filler, and you have a decent hard rock record
I agree both those albums have a lot of bangers. Thorn within, bleeding me, house that Jack built, outlaw torn, better than you, low man’s lyric, and so many others
James guitar solos are so emotional and bluesy! 😍
What about James’ solo in Orion??
Nothing else matters solo and suicide and redemption solo are some of my favorite Metallica solos of all time
2:57 Sweet Child O'Mine vibe
I know you wouldn't wanna make another remake but he also played the solo on their cover of ecstasy of gold (at least he did live) and the unused solo from wasting my hate demo
Havent added covers (there are some garage inc solos as well)
Man that To Live Is To Die is the greatest fuckin solo ever
You did Papa Het dirty with that picture for Just A Bullet Away 😂😂😂
Thanks for reminding me how much I love Load. One of their best guitar tones. My top 3 of their albums
Are you sure about 2x4? That's awesome if true. Always thought it sounded very bluesy but just assumed it was Kirk.
The first part is James, the other part starting with a wah its Kirk
You can tell James solos has more feelings than kirks.
I don't think they have more feeling, James just doesn't get to do them as much so when he does it's special. Kirk has plenty of solos with "feeling" he just also has plenty of shredding solos too.
Fade to black and unforgiven are Kirks and noone can say they aren't full of feeling
I still think James had the best solos. They're so rich and feel so emotional.
He isn’t that fast but he knows how to come up with interesting licks
i always wondered why the nothing else matters solo sounded better than the rest, now i know why
Wish James would do more solos
How about the twin solos in both Fight fire with fire and For whom the bell tolls?
He has (or at least had) a great musical talent. The guy learned piano as a kid, that helps a lot to understand music theory, etc.
His solos are so melodic
I Thought James Also Played The Harmony In The Studio Version of "Master of Puppets" & Some of The Songs... 🤔
*I Forgot The Specific Title... 😅
Harmonies are Kirk and James
@@Ryu_Ake
Ohh...
I See...
✨
Thanks!
James always has the most emotional solos
You can tell which are his.
He always has had a Bluesy influence in his solos. Kirks are good and all, but you can tell he's just trying to make it sound Metal, James doesn't care about his solos sonically, just as long as it has a soul and emotion in it.
And the solos he played in the various covers recorded and performed live? 🤔 For example he does all the solo part of Ecstasy of Gold
@@TanadelleVolpi studio only
Nothing else matters solo is great!
Yeah it is and Kirk did not right the solo. Are you fuckin high? Where are you getting your info. Why would he write the solo and James play it live everytime. Come on!!
Sorry my bad man. I got the videos mixed up. This is James solos. So yeah he did write these.
I’m a really big fan of Load and Reload.
But if I had to rank the solos from those two albums by James it’d be
4. Thorn Within
3. 2x4
2. Carpe Diem Baby
1. The Outlaw Torn
Well, all the solos by James are always nice because he knows how to lay down a good controlled solo
I love that people call simple melodies 'solos' and say 'James also plays solos like Dave' lol
JAMES played the 2nd solo from Orion. He wrote it.
In the Master Of Puppets booklet this is outlined.
The better lead player in my opinion. Incredible melodies and feeling
Also little known fun fact he wrote the solo for Ronnie as well as I Disappear but taught that one it to Kirk
James seems to always play a solo in Seek and Destroy (I think it's only 4 bars). Could you make a compilation of em?
Very Good
I don’t care the interlude is better then the actual solo in master of puppets
I never realized that suicide & redemption solo was so fucking Great from Papa het. It’s Not normal Album Version Right ?
@@Metllica83 album version was 1st half james, the other half is kirk

@@plausibledeniability4016 they are friends and AIC used to open for them in the 90s

Remake? After 2 days? What was wrong?
missed 2x4, orion part was wrong, missed carpe diem baby, missed my friend of misery
kirk has way better riffs and james has way better solos, maybe they should switch?
Kirk did write the bridge in My Apocalypse, best metallica riff, and most people don't even know about it
Kirk does NOT have better riffs than James 😂😂😂 Stop playing.
@@raulramirez9657No but he has written some of Metallicas most iconic riffs
You left out orion's 2nd solo btw. It was written by James and recorded by James
This!
You forgot about 2nd orion solo by James
Forgot wherever i may roam. If you count that as a solo
More like a harmonized lead
Where Whiskey in the jar....?
I guess hes not just a rhythm guitarist and singer
James did not play the solo in The House Jack Built, it was Kirk.
I regret to inform that you are just completely wrong. Load/Reload are hard tracked, the solo in THTJB is tracked to the left ear which james chose up until death magnetic, It was James.
ngl i thought the second fast solo on One was by james
It is but it's more of a harmony part than a solo. All harmony parts on the first 5 albums are only James
isn’t the last solo on sanitarium james?
No , all the solos in that song are Kirk s
I've come to realise that most of my favourite Metallica solos are actually James...go figure 😅
one also

I feel like, on average, James's solos have more emotion and melody to them than Kirks do. More feel
It would be interesting to see what would happen if Dave was back in the band and both he and James traded lead and rhythm guitar roles and singing roles. I think it’d be awesome.
Would be awesome as fuck as long as Dave stays far away from the microphone. We don’t need his shitty ass vocals to ruin anything.

The 2x4 solo is lame compared to the others

Yeah, we saw you "metalhead", we already know you don't like Load, no need to make us remember each 5 minutes about your bad taste.
Can you at least say something other clown "metalheads" have not already said already? Because it is always the same.
