Yeah. So would I. Althought it's not really surprising considering the fact that 'Load' and 'Reload' were two of the worst Metallica albums from their entire discography. Even 'St. Anger' was better than those two piles of dog shit.
Switching between technical fast rock/metal stuff and blues is really fun. Playing Jimi Hendrix music is one of the most rewarding experiences as a musician I've had.
Not gonna lie I fuckin hate this era of Kirk. The short spiked hair, black nailpolish, eyeliner, chains, wings, cigar, it's awful. I like how he is now and how he was back then. Pure thrash metal. This was the weakest spot in Metallica's career though
@@PinoyMukbangPro Load is a good record, ReLoad was meh, St. Anger gets fun after a while, Death Magnetic has good songs with bad production, and Hardwired has ok songs with flawless production. Metallica is and has been doing great throughout their career with the only true low being St. Anger, not because of the record but because of the social struggles in the band.
My favorite guitar of Kirk's is the Tom Anderson model he played on the Damaged Justice Tour. I haven't seen him play it in years. I wonder if he still has it
I remember that, it was a beautiful instrument. They were just starting to get some recognition in the guitar magazines at the time. Lovely color, looked grey to me.
I think that Kirk retires this guitar, last time that this one was seen, was in a exhibition of Metallica stuff that the guys played in the past, as part of Orion Music & More ten years ago
True bro, some of my favorite solos are from the unforgiven1, fade to black and some a7x ones are so far away and victim just so much emotions running through those frets it's amazing.
+tuuurster oh man i forgot about that... I love clapton's version (or feat. clapton I guess haha), but I've never heard the original, thanks for the info!
He went to study at an art school around 94/95 and came back like this. I know his wife is into that kind of stuff, and as soon as he married her, Kirk went back to normal...
heheh the start of this video gives me the impression of kirk being the "little insane kid" and the guitar dude hes carer. he is by far my favorite guitarist of all time, my inspiration ever since the start (12 years ago)
Because that guitar is iconic. It has the blues imbued in to its DNA (albeit the UK's version of the blues from the classic era of the '60's). It's a classic guitar that belongs in the hands of a guitarist who understands its lineage and can carry things forward. Nothing against Kirk... but the force is not strong within him.
No disrespect to Kirk though. If I had his money, I'd be a total hypocrite and buy the guitar for myself... and sod the blues and the guitar's history !
There are many as good or better but he "made it' what ever that means. You are all just lovin' and hatin' because you know who he is. He is just another guitarist, take it or leave it.
This is what I say to that: Yeah, he "made it", as in Metallica are a very successful band, but it didn't happen by accident. He wrote all those riffs that we love so much. Yeah, there's probably better players. but being a good guitar player doesn't mean you can write badass riffs.
Kirk ripps asses in that time! The solos and his personailty is totally INSANE! He looks like DEVIL! Smooking, black nails, crazy ass hair, crazy eyes, piercings and that big badass 'Hugh Heffner' dress style! Man Kirk can say 'I'M THE BOSS!'
@Cheapooo for starting out guitar players yes since you wont need anything fancy yet but get a squire strat you might not want to pour tons of money into a fender
@MaxCarlsson95 Certain models are LTD exclusive. Also, towards the beginning of the video his guitar tech shows an LTD and explains that theyve gone through about 40 of them on the tour. The LTDs are there for the sheer purpose of destroying them haha
Kirk And AM I Evil lol i watched the big four at the movies and everyone from Metallica Megadeth Slayer And ANthrax was playing it together it was so awsome who dosent want to headbang at the movies?
i find kirk is very tasteful with this lead work and i hardly find anything repetitive with his playing as far as records go i havent seen metallica live in a long time. if you expect someone to jump from one end of the spectrum to the other all the time then that is not going to last very long at keeping your amusement either. hes #11 on rolling stone's 100 list for a reason. if the general public and musicians alike didnt disagree with you then he wouldnt be on there at all.
+Captain Grim True... i mean this was obviously at a different point in time, no saying whether it existed or not, but Elixir and Ernie Ball etc create great coated strings that even with lots of gigging and rehearsals usually last me months before they need changing, and that usually because they stop being in tune... they're still shiny and clean!
Hank Whammyarvin (echorvin) , jimmy Tremolopage, david pitchilmour, Jimmy wahndrix. Every good guitarist has developed his own style with his own gear, so don't blame kirk for abusing the wah.
@Cheapooo fender strat is very good to start out on, hell even a squire strat is ok but if you have the money get a mexican one for about 400, but they're great for everything clean and funky, rock and metal work ok on 'em but the bridge pickup will have to go if you plan on metal (I suggest hotrails), and maybe the others if you use them with lots of distortion (tons of hum) I've been using my strat since I've started playing, only crappy thing is the tuning and tremelo system, but you can mod
thank god kirk recovered from this
Sounds like Kirk really wants to play blues. I would like to hear an album of that
Yeah. So would I. Althought it's not really surprising considering the fact that 'Load' and 'Reload' were two of the worst Metallica albums from their entire discography. Even 'St. Anger' was better than those two piles of dog shit.
*Although.
He said once that he wanted to play blues if metallica ever stops so u may see that in the future

Keith Gunshot he was kinda Cocky but still a good dude. obviously alot more humble now
Lmao fr I loved it tbh I loved everything he wore. I do agree this was one of weakest parts but everyone goes through this
I would agree. Started with Load..

I love how, despite how heavy the music is that some artists play.. Most of them love nothing better than jamming out to the blues haha
hmmm I can't recall diamond D ever playing the blues....just straight up metal!!!!
I remember his Johnny Depp phase....
LTD ... Now we know why he smashes it all around

Kirk playing SRV at the start there

Jack Holland lol
He went to study at an art school around 94/95 and came back like this. I know his wife is into that kind of stuff, and as soon as he married her, Kirk went back to normal...
"It's a very tired joke by now."
So are Kirk's wah-raping solos.
Holy shit, Prince actually knows how to play guitar!
Nail polish, make up, the clothing, tap dancing shoes, cigar...the hell was going on back in those times Kirk? glad he got back to the dark side \o/
heheh the start of this video gives me the impression of kirk being the "little insane kid" and the guitar dude hes carer.
he is by far my favorite guitarist of all time, my inspiration ever since the start (12 years ago)
240p doesn't get the credit it deserves.
when kirk still enjoyed playing in metallica... we miss that kirk
Kirk Hammett stuff is great to teach beginning guitar students.
the clear guitar is awesome
Kirk - I use this on the most evilest of all evil songs .. Am i Evil ? (Evil Laugh)
XD
Was this recorded with a potato?
GR△△VENICS That's '96. Potatoes were the shit at that time!!!
I can't believe that Kirk Hammett is now the proud owner of 'Greeny'... Peter Green's and Gary Moore's '59 Les Paul. What a tragedy... :(

at least he tries to play Fleetwood mac on it. cool guitar that deserves a better owner.

AFXAcid37 totally agree. probably why allan holdsworth doesn't have too many hits..
Super! Was eager to know this.
I really love Kirk Hammetts see-through guitar. :) Looks awesome! :D
i love his job..........
He's playing Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of Hide Away. Groovy.
ohhh i love that blue guitar!!
what a legendary guitarist.
What a fucking boss playing badass guitars with a cigar, doesn't get anymore boss than that.
@2handsforchrist ... Freddie King's Hide Away ... Awesome respect for KH for playing this ...
wow! Very cool display. Can't tell you how many times I've listened to Master of Muppets
OUIJA - that's not a spelling mistake...... I guess that's why he's a guitar tech
465marko Lol😄
There is a mistake in the littlen sentence
Lol ikr! He points at OUIJA and says it's misspelled. The misspelling is "talking baard set"
I laughed at that line, too.
Well. Good. Keep it up.
I love when his cigar burns his leg. that yell is priceless!
Thank you....sounds like a cool song for me to learn :)
i fuckin love kirk hammet. he's the only guy in metallica you don't want to punch in the face every 5 minutes.... and he hangs out with les claypool.
i fuckin love that orange guitar
Yeah the Hideaway! !
@mateivornicu i think that every famous guitar players needs that.
hmm im pretty impressed that kirk is chilling and just playing blues
Haha, Kirk Hammet playing SRV inspired licks, what a guy!
And doing it all with a cigar in his hand. What a boss.
Same here Kirk might not be the fastest the best or the most technical but personally i love his sound and his style. Just my opinion though.
You´re wellcome.
If you want to hear a great version of that, listen to John Mayall Bluesbreakers (feat. Eric Clapton) cover.
Kirk ripps asses in that time! The solos and his personailty is totally INSANE! He looks like DEVIL! Smooking, black nails, crazy ass hair, crazy eyes, piercings and that big badass 'Hugh Heffner' dress style! Man Kirk can say 'I'M THE BOSS!'
This vids from the mid 90s when they were doing Load & Reload... Kirk was a strange fellow back then but he's a pretty mellow dude now
is the fender stratocaster a good first time electric guitar?
i now need a wave caster
Feliz cumple(atrasado)a uno de los mejores guitarristas de la historia... aguante METALLICA!!!
Yes he is "Hideaway" by Freddie King check out SRV's version.
mmmmm I loooove cigars...and you know kirk gets whatever amazing cigar he wants
Kirk nailing some blues riffs, nice.
0:52 *Pshh~AaaaaAA!!
lol funny
kirk hammett is soooooo cool!
Indeed
Where was that clip from?
"So that when he smashes the neck, I can replace it without ditching the whole body" ROFL.!!
kirks dark era?
more like gay era
i mean Kirk was sooo rockstar ..
what happened with the Wavecaster? Does kirk still use it?
@Cheapooo for starting out guitar players yes since you wont need anything fancy yet but get a squire strat you might not want to pour tons of money into a fender
Yeah it really is a great cover
0:51 LMFAO!!!!!!
0:30 that guitar was on sale in Ottawa for ~$750 CAD... my cousin and i saw it as we were jamming out in a guitar shop.
0:30
Olha web Guitarra PERSONALIZADA DE LÍQUIDO AZUL TRANSPARENTE LOKA
That Telle is awesome. lol
Melhor GUITARRISTA DO MUNDO . GUITARRA STAMPADA 13. É O MELHOR . PODE SER 13. MAS É O MELHOR SEM DUVIDA

you are right guy
Coolest paper weight ever!
Its not about the guitar, Its about the player. And the pickups too.
1:45 i wouldnt mind having that "paper-weight" haha
what's he playing in the beginning with the mummy guitar
i want tabs
@Dennizzz119
He is very, very blues-y in his influences.
killer playing "hideaway"
Kirk And AM I Evil lol i watched the big four at the movies and everyone from Metallica Megadeth Slayer And ANthrax was playing it together it was so awsome who dosent want to headbang at the movies?

yeaaaa
--------
seen them live twice and he was fine.
@Revelation1992 its called hideaway by freddy king but SRV did cover it
lol yea the clear guitar is soo AWSOME!!
They're two of my favourite guitarists. If it wasn't for Dave and Kirk, I wouldn't be playing metal.
Re-string the guitar only if he play one song because by then the strings have had it...come on, that's a load of shit. Just say "because we can."
Miguel Alamilla Find it funny though, Vai or Satriani their strings seem to endure a lot more.
+Captain Grim Maybe they were D'Addario's those things never last more than a song.
+Captain Grim True... i mean this was obviously at a different point in time, no saying whether it existed or not, but Elixir and Ernie Ball etc create great coated strings that even with lots of gigging and rehearsals usually last me months before they need changing, and that usually because they stop being in tune... they're still shiny and clean!
lead guitar for 30 years+ in one of the top 5 biggest metal bands in the world.
and some people are still saying Kirk sucks? facepalm
0:35 Kirk Hammett plays blues.. Insane!
0:35
Wie heisst der Song den er am Anfang spielt?
Then there's SRV's version, which IMO is even better lol. It's probably where Kirk discovered the song seing as he's a huge Stevie fan
you amuse me
Nice nail polish kirk!
Hank Whammyarvin (echorvin) , jimmy Tremolopage, david pitchilmour, Jimmy wahndrix. Every good guitarist has developed his own style with his own gear, so don't blame kirk for abusing the wah.
@Cheapooo fender strat is very good to start out on, hell even a squire strat is ok but if you have the money get a mexican one for about 400, but they're great for everything clean and funky, rock and metal work ok on 'em but the bridge pickup will have to go if you plan on metal (I suggest hotrails), and maybe the others if you use them with lots of distortion (tons of hum) I've been using my strat since I've started playing, only crappy thing is the tuning and tremelo system, but you can mod
XD 0:52 *KSSH* "AAAHHH"
Kirk's (touring) guitar collection, circa 1998 at least...
I bet he has a solid gold wah pedal with his name carved into the side of it mounted on his bedroom wall at home.
This is an old video...from the Load & Reload era...still good.
0:51 tsssssss AAAAAAAAAAH wow AAAAAAH
where can I get the "Wavecaster"?
if that 'WaveCaster' blue stuff went down the neck and to the head it would be epic
@shreddy412 No that is Freddie Kings "Hideaway".
not really a metallica guy, but wow. kirk seems like such a cool guy.
sweet hideaway cover
those are sick guitarist! but hammett is a legend also :]
