And then in the next scene, he rolls up in the couch in a ball in cringe mode, trying to hide from the terrible crap kirk was playing. Was kirk drunk here at all?
@@thainhaines2853 lmao what? Kirk sounds great and plays great riffs, that's what matters. but most decent guitarists can easily come up with shit just as good and often much better than that
I love this. The only thing I will say in the footage is Bobs clothes appear to change. Every time I hear this solo I think of the process to get there. Awesome.
@@tafttheraft5314 because up until that point, he had been writing a solo the way BOB thought it SHOULD have been done. Then Kirk just says fuck you, I’ll do the solo if the century right here, right now, MY WAY! That’s how he made him look stupid. I see you and others saying Bob pushed him to make the solo that we all hear now, but naw, it was all Kirk.
@@GalacticCenterOG re-watch the video. Kirk wanted to start high, go low, and then end high again. That is not at all how he plays the solo. He plays it exactly as Bob suggests; starts off low and guttural, and builds to a high. You can’t argue that Bob was wrong because the evidence is literally right in front of your face.
Yeah exactly. That's what really impressed me. If he push it he wouldn't get it but he was really calm and comfortable and he made it. It shows he is very professional.
Kirk creates one of the most iconic solos ever and people still find a way to hate and say he’s not a good guitarist ... smh he’s epic and Metallica would not be same without him
Bob knew what he was doing. He was pushing Kirk to play a really heart-wrenching, bluesy, emotionally intense solo. This is what a great producer does. It took literally pushing Kirk near the brink to bring this badass solo out of him, much like it might happen with an actor and an especially dramatic scene.
Keep in mind that the Kirk in this video already wrote solos like one, lightning, fade to Black, and justice. He was only struggling with the new style for sure
@@MrParkerman6 Wrong. Kirk actually wrote it. The thing is you don't get credit for just writing a solo that's why Mustaine is on the credit list while Kirk is not. www.guitarworld.com/metallicas-kirk-hammett-talks-ride-lightning-cliff-burton-and-benefits-taking-guitar-lessons-joe-satriani?page=2 Just have a look at this and you'll know
@@DM-rc4yu dont be a dumbass, I don't care which band you rep, but there is demo audio of mustaine playing the lightning solo, it sounds very similar. maybe a bit worse, but just like hit the lights, jump in the fire etc. the solo kirk does is built upon mustaine original
People talk shit on Kirk but everybody knows this solo note for note. That's what makes a great guitarist, not how fast or technical they are but how they make you feel and how memorable their work is. Kirk will always be a legend.
People forget before this solo his style so to speak was sticking with the song structure with a crazy tempo and not much by the way of melody. This solo on the other hand is EPIC. It's as memorable melodic and instantly recognisable. Haters gonna hate this solo put Kirk Hammett on the map of guitar gods in my humble opinion. Most people wouldn't handle the pressure he did and we're all better for it .
You can tell Bob was impressed at the end. Producers can be a dick sometimes but they are important. Imagine if Kirk did not change the solo. It would have been a lesser product.
Excellent solo, and you can see how he refined it. Final version is amazing. It's dissapointing though that he doesn't always play it note for note in concert, this one shouldn't be changed or varied at all, play it as per album.
This song would not have the place that it has in my heart without this solo. Good job Kirk and good job Bob for pushing him to be the best he could be 🤘🏻
He’s gotta be the most underrated guitar player of all time, even with everything he’s done, he’s just not talked about in the best guitar players of all time conversations or even beat at solos which is a travesty….
Among the best imho. He is right up there with Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour...! But id say Roy Clark is the most under rated of all time. That dude could play.
Never been a fan of Kirk but this is one thing I give him full credit for. Solo totally fits the song and he refused to let it be anything less than outstanding.
It was Bob who refused to let it be anything other than outstanding. I'm not sure Kirk would have only satisfied with this level, seeing as he kinda felt his other attempts were good enough.
This is exactly what a prestige music producer does. This video is a testament for how a producer can push an artist and coax out of them things they didn't even know they had in them. It's the producer's job to try and develop the artist's full creative potential-to make the song the best it can be
Hopefully everyone understands the immense amount of hard work that goes into making the music we enjoy happen. Some of the most epic moments happen live but the work put in inside the studio is what gives us metal perfection. Bob Rock might be an ass about it but he was dead nuts calling it like it was. Would this guitar solo been what it is without him leaning on Kirk to deliver? I doubt it.
If there was ever a 5th member of Metallica at any time in the band's history even temporarily, it was Bob Rock working for the first time with Metallica. There's a reason that this album is just as strong today as it was 32 years ago and in 32 years it will still be strong. He showed them the value of having a producer.
That’s the main reason it has sold over 30 million copies since 1991 bob rock pushed them all really hard and through that came very arguably Metallicas best album even tho I say the true best being ride the lightning to me tho this comes a close 2nd
My definition of a great guitar solo is "a solo that you can memorise and sing along with, just like it was made of words", and Kirk just nailed it hard on this one 🤟
The first bend is what set him up to write this whole solo. Once he figured out thats where he wanted to start, the rest probably came "fairly" easy. It sets the entire mood/emotion he was going for. Sad But True also starts with a nasty bend and its one of my favorite solos as well.
Esse é o trabalho de um produtor musical, Bob Rock não largou do pé do Kirk enquanto não tirou dele o solo perfeito para música, quando ele não estava inspirado, fez ele buscar a inspiração
Editing unfortunately changed the narrative. Bob is wearing a completely different outfit (Jean jacket instead of black shirt), who knows what actually happened. It might’ve taken weeks to get that solo
This was such a gigantic redemption where he stood victorious amongst bubbling emotions. They all wanted him to win in the end. Epic capturing of this inspiring moment 💥
Bob paid off his mortgages with Kirk's tears. So give it to the producer for pushing the artist into that desperate creative realm. It's harsh but works.
If ONLY they still had a producer with balls to push Kirk like this today... The new album is great, but if the solos had more OOMPH and thought put into them - then 72 Seasons could've been legendary
A great producer is also a great psychologist. Knowing how to analyze each band member and push and pull to get the best to come out. It’s not just about audio skills.
I'm so glad I saw this. Voodoo Child SR is my favorite guitar song ever, but Kirk's solo in Unforgiven is my favorite guitar solo ever. It's one of those pieces of music that, it's as if it already existed in the Universe, and the artist was able to capture it accurately. Not one note, not one bend, not one chord should be different. He got all of it right. This solo reminds me of 2112, the song as well as the album, in its anger and frustration, and in its chip on the proverbial shoulder.
You can hear the influence this one solo had on Load and Reload, some of Kirk's best leads ever, and they're all built on FEELING and doing what Bob said, building to a peak.
Not really. Bob was rejecting his solos for days, possibly weeks before this for this song. He may have been wrong with the fact that Kirk couldn't do this off the cuff on this occasion but he was correct to keep making him try it again. You can even hear that this is not the exact take that was used despite many people saying it is. Particularly in the first half it is aittle different here. People shit on Bob because its fashionable but look at how the quality of Kirk's solos depreciated since he left the fold. The solos have been on a steady nose dive because they go in an basically throw anything down, just as bob is saying here that they shouldn't do. People will also point out St Anger, but the no solos was pushed by the entire band. As Bob said in interviews after, kirk needs to be pushed.
@@paulmallon9292 What I said was merely just a joke, wasn't crapping on Bob or anything. In fact they wouldn't be where they are now if it wasn't for Bob, I watched a lot of in the studio with them. But I also think you're looking too deep into my comment.
For a song like Unforgiven, the solo has to be really heart-wrenching, guttural, emotional-like Bob said. Kirk wasn't able to wrap his head around that at first and it took pressure from the producer-whose job is to make the music as powerful as possible-for Kirk to finally dig in and grace us with that beauty of a solo.
@@paulmallon9292 Agreed. I’m sure the take that made the album came one or two takes max after this was shot. It was RIGHT there, but still wasn’t it. For those who listen closely enough, you can definitely tell that this isn’t the album version, as much as so many say that it is.
I hope this is an actual video on what happened where he finally snapped and played it, my cynical mind is saying it was forced perspective but by god it’s amazing what Kirk can do when he just wanna do his thing
For someone who constantly stutters and is the most nervous metal guitarist ever. Im really happy he didnt take any shit and played like kirk fuckin hammett plays 👏
Bob is a music legend. What he says is the truth and you can tell Metallica knows it too. You do not want tour coach to be a pushover. You want someone who would make you better than what you already are.
I lowkey love how Lars was trying to stick up for Kirk. Kirk was so nervous.
“It just ain’t his style”.
Sometimes people need the shit pulled out of them

This solo is legendary.
This solo is what turned Kirk Hammett into a guitar god.
He definitely answered
True, took him 5-6 years to make that
And easy
its just so epic - my favourite of all time. he got there in the end!
Bob : Let's hear the fucking guitar player of the year solo

I read that as newsted lol
Idk what makes the solo so special but it got something that gives me chills everytime I hear it
It builds up beautifully and concludes very logically. It makes sense. It's hard to describe.
You can feel Kirk's soul ;)
Dude same and the beginning is just chefs kiss!
Cause it's not mindless shredding and there's an actual melody to it.
The chills are the effect of that bends on the 20th frett. 👍

It’s hard to get solos down 100% when playing live. But yeah, that said, he does deviate quite a bit
Agreed
This song would not have the place that it has in my heart without this solo. Good job Kirk and good job Bob for pushing him to be the best he could be 🤘🏻

Kirk is NOT one of the greatest guitarist in the world, but he´s good at what he does, which imo is a very limited toolbox.
He’s gotta be the most underrated guitar player of all time, even with everything he’s done, he’s just not talked about in the best guitar players of all time conversations or even beat at solos which is a travesty….
YES
That’s cause James is the better guitar player
Among the best imho. He is right up there with Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour...! But id say Roy Clark is the most under rated of all time. That dude could play.
Prob cause of all his solos are the same. Weak and spineless vibrato. Good songwriter and riff write though
He’s not underrated he’s ranked 11th on Rolling Stones list of 100 greatest guitar players
Never been a fan of Kirk but this is one thing I give him full credit for. Solo totally fits the song and he refused to let it be anything less than outstanding.

4:50 i love his nod "yea! fading out of course. you may touch my guitar"
My definition of a great guitar solo is "a solo that you can memorise and sing along with, just like it was made of words", and Kirk just nailed it hard on this one 🤟
So, where is the "Wah" that everyone is saying about Kirk? All I hear is soulful slow Heavy Metal Solo.
He was more tasteful with the wah in those days. Kirk Wahmett wasn’t fully unleashed until Death Magnetic, I’d say
The first bend is what set him up to write this whole solo. Once he figured out thats where he wanted to start, the rest probably came "fairly" easy. It sets the entire mood/emotion he was going for. Sad But True also starts with a nasty bend and its one of my favorite solos as well.
Meme's aside, he fucking nailed it.
Fuck that solo always gives me chills...
this is a great example of every group project.
I’ve got to say something about this solo. Bob played the instigator perfectly! Got Kirk riled up and made him dig deep to pull off an amazing solo!
2:13 I love how Kirk says, "I do, man!" The way he says, 'Man'...
i’m glad that was the solo and not what bob suggested “bada do do doo, bada do dodo”
Thanks Bob for being such a pain in the ass and make Kirk play this legendary solo
Why did kirk have an issue in the first place, did he not write it?
Esse é o trabalho de um produtor musical, Bob Rock não largou do pé do Kirk enquanto não tirou dele o solo perfeito para música, quando ele não estava inspirado, fez ele buscar a inspiração
I'd love it if the solo just ended up being Bob Rock going "dada ni n doo n dada ni n doo" on the album
One of my favorite metallica solos recorded. I get chills every time. Good work.
my mom was truly blessed to grow up next to kirk and listen to one of the best guitarist become what he is
Best Guitar Solo Ever.
I can’t even begin to imagine how many times Ive watched A Year & Half in the life of 1&2.
Such a sick solo. How can one not go into full metal mode listening to that?!
This is Where the Hammet Wah pedal Started! Hasnt written one without it since!
I love how bob rock is so sure that Kirk's solo will suck and then he helps kirk turn off his guitar after its amazing

Bob's comments about unprepared guitar players is hilarious. As an unprepared guitar player on many occasions, I concur.
