- Before their WorldWired tour stop at BC Place in Vancouver, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett spent 10 minutes to yap with CFOX.
Hammett talks about the setlist creation for their current WorldWired tour. His favourite song to played off Hardwired….To Self Destruct, how they still love playing the classic Metallica songs for the fans, being inspired by jazz legend John Coltrane, taking guitar lessons from Joe Satriani in the early 80s, and his collection of horror movie memorabilia.
Shout out to CFOX producer Jello and Jeff O’Neil Show producer Adam for being part of the team. And thank you to Charlotte and Scott at Warner Music Canada for the hook up.
kirks voice never caught up with him. he sounded like a teenager during his 20s & 30s. now he sounds like a 20 year old and i’m lovin it
Look up the organic chemistry tutor on youtube, it's kirk hammett
Kirk seems like such a chill and laid back kind of guy you just want to hang out and have a drink with.
He smokes a lot of pot
I love that after all of these years Kirk still paints his nails! Kirk is the BEST !
He even uses a marker/sharpie 🤣 cause the smell, and its actually on for longer
@@Teodor1OlineI thought I saw a short clip of kirk painting his nails with black nail polish but I think he might use both
This man has such an interesting face, he has aged so well, he was fine back then and he’s still fine ass hell now
I hate how everyone is saying Kirk is on drugs or drunk and stuff. I have social anxiety, I act the way he does in a conversation. The dudes probably nervous, i have a stutter when im nervous. Jesus
Yeah these dudes are too in shape and been around to long to be on drugs or drinking.
Same I have ADD and Adhd I have social problems I studer when I get nervous
He said he's a extremely introvert person.
He just stutters. Not a big deal.
He still sounds more confident than I do😂😂😂😂😂😂
Before he joined Metallica, Kirk Hammett was in my basic music class at Contra Costa College in 1981 and, he was super quiet, I had no idea who he was. A friendly outgoing classmate Gary Hall said 'hey that guy in the down jacket, he's an incredible guitar player, he's in my band Exodus"
Please share more, did he have any friends?
You mean Gary Holt
My mistake ! I meant Gary Holt, not "Hall". I did not get a chance to know him well but we did hang out a few times. Interestingly I met other people later who had Exodus connections.. It was almost impossible if you were a musician back then growing up in the same huge metropolitan area you meet so many dudes who would eventually come to make names for themselves, or ones that were already huge, but most of us didn't make it that way.. But anyway if I had to make a list it would be about 50 deep .
@@musicdude1 so do you regret not being freinds with him ? 😂
I don't get why people are saying things like: "so sad he is drunk" and blah blah, bro take it easy, he has always talked like that, check out other interviews. Enjoy and shut up.
He usually slurs and stutters, but i think he does it more than usual in this interview.
Drunk ??? This guy Is competing with scarface in the coke game
this is the most calm I have seen Kirk in a long time...hardly any stutter...yet, people complain...don't get it
Instead of y’all commenting about how Kirk has “issues” and stuff you guys gotta realize that hes been doing this stuff for almost 35 years he’s TIRED and getting older so he doesn’t have all the energy he used to so yeah
I dont know why people shit on kirk.he is only human and been doing this for so long.i dont know him personaly but seems like a humble guy.i think he is a great guitarist.he made some of the most ironic solos ever.they are a big reason why i picked up a guitar to begin with and that was 25 years ago.
Idk what ppl are smoking, i saw them with Scorpions in dec. 2018and both bands KICKED. ASS.🤘
LEPPER MESSIAH!!! That's Kirk's favorite song!!!
I can listen to Kirk play Guitar 24/7 without any words or lyrics.
He's still such a doll
Guys he doesn’t care about what u think, he’s a beast and he’s been making good for himself and the band so he doesn’t care about haters
My very first guitar influences in the 80’s as a kid were guys like, CC Deville, Angus Young, Dire Straits. Then I discovered Metallica in like 1991-1992, and that was it. Kirk and James were my heroes and still are in 2021.
Kirk You're awesome, man! Very talented. For all you haters, go watch Phil Anselmo if you want to know what drunk is.
allwithinmyhands HAHAH
phils drug use and other things have taken a toll on his brain obviously. the slowed speech is simply due to his abuse of certain substances. Kirk has his fair share of issues, better to adress them than to think hes perfect.
Hey man Phil is fucking awesome man! I went up on his bus this year and he was the most kindest guy in the world, he took time to sign all of my collection and signed my arm! Which I got tattooed. Phil had a pleasure telling me stories about Pantera and the good old days with Dimebag and Vinnie. Phils true to his fans.
Phils a great fucking guy! He is sober. He is super chill.
Fuck phill Anselmo go look at nikki sixx for drug use
Thanks for asking these questions. Really loved this interview. Some questions we’ve been searching for ages
Im happy to see someone ask him more about his lessons with satch. I'd love to see more of that!
Kirk has some sass lmao this guy is great!
The black fingernails rules
What I'd give to have satriani as my teacher
Kirk favorite song Lepper Messiah? I love him even more
"Fight? Who the hell requested Fight?"
-Lars
Mielenkiintoinen haastattelu; pitänee alkaa kuunnella John Coltranea!
Peter Gotnine samaa mieltä.
@@heastoida8993 Ei ole.
Kirk so cute and sweet
3:06 "They all still fire me up" the passion is leaking and it's so fucking good I love that for him and I love him for that
Happy Birthday Kirk!
Kirks awesome! A little weatherbeaten but still our god! Gotta love that guy. I remember trading a Grim Reaper album on vinyl to a buddy that had metallica kill em all on cassette. Nobody could touch Metallica. This was when noooobody had heard of them yet. I think i got the better deal from that trade. Lol. Grim who?
he loves playing Halo on Fire because it's seem so like Fade to Black
I luv kirk
Subtitles: *_"Wah wah wah. Wah wah wah wah, wah wah. Wah wah. Wah wah wah? Wah wah."_*
Cringe
kirk looks comfortable with this guy..not much stutter 🙌
Who the hell wants to hear sad but true over leper messiah?
me
Skolnick, Vai & Hammett!! These protégés all learned under the great Satriani.
Look how great all 3 of them turned out!!
Hammett I never really considered a Stand-Alone Guitarist but could you imagine anyone else as Metallica’s lead guitarist? He was perfect for that group, but again.....not a Stand-Alone Guitarist.
Vai and Skolnick obviously started out in bands (Alcatraz, Frank Zappa. David Lee Roth, Whitesnake & Testament, respectively), but quickly realized their true potential as solo artists and Instrumentalists.
We’re would we be with out Metallica
They changed the courses of many lives including mine.
Yes we’re would. We’re would indeed.
can't wait to see them play "Spit out the Bone" live
Kirk actually gives a decent interview.
I love the interview very much and don't want to complain, however I personally would prefer to hear it without the music you put in the background, it's awesome music obviously but I'm here to listen to a conversation with Kirk Hammett, and want to just focus on that, I don't need to be entertained by background music while listening to this great interview? I mean, you wouldn't put a cartoon in one corner of the video so I had something to watch other than Kirk and the interviewer, right? :-) Just my opinion. Thanks for the interview!
Thanks so much for supporting my music, I’m so grateful and I hope you forever being my fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s ok by you?
He never used to say bro when he started in the band. I guess its a surfer thing he picked up after he got bit by the surfer bug
Kirk
9:38 ish : do we have time? ...you are speaking with k hammett man - where yo respect dude youre on his/metallica time, damn it!
I know are function in a band whose metallica..who or what do hier no i much idea , this life reference simple present about your person in today. Only grates for this moments we have the music concert or anythink parents.🎵im eraing cristian musica is great!
What do u guys think is Kirks favouritw strain?😎lol
A little bit of an awkward interview especially at the end "cool bro!" lol. Still great though! Metallica was the first band I loved. After that, I moved into Hendrix and finally JOE SATRIANI! It takes a true maturity to appreciate even just Metallica or any melodic metal or rock. After more than 15 years of practice and 3 hours a day I can finally say I have been truly blessed by the souls of these great players. On my page, you will find me doing my best to recapture the sound of the 60's while adding in elements of the 80's rock and 90's grunge scene. Yes, that was a shameless plug but I know you guys will LOVE my music if you are a Metallica or Joe Satriani fan : ). Mostly melodic guitar solos.
Pyriscent Music saw metallica and satriani too, theyre legends :)
Yea man, Kirk deserves the fucking highness, lame world I would!!!
Lessons from satriani? Dayum.
hammettts good get with it, damn.
Kirk es tan adorable, joder. No sé qué tiene.😹🖤
I hate how the interviewer keeps saying "kirk hammett from metallica"
its pedestrian and condescending
Kirk is the Michael Jackson of Metal.
When did he start saying bro?
Cool question, bro.
he was born a bro, bro
He's a bro from California, bro! Lol 🤟😆🤟
Halo on Fire!
True Metal head. Doesn't give a fuck about P.R. image or lookin fucked up. Still partying and livin life to the fullest!!
I've never heard of "World Famous CFOX".
Weird that he does not have any tattoos on his arm
🖤
Does Kirk have a stutter?
Kirk Hammett from metallic
It seriously sounds like he’s about six beers in
Or he is just anxious
He’s always been like that
My future husband ❤️😘😜 I love you Kirk!!!
Ask him about the Some Kind of Monster riff
The notes in between
great questions!
Any question that starts with "What's your favourite....", is not a good question.
After watching this I'm legit worried about Kirk. I hope he's able to conquer whatever it is that he's dealing with.
Jeff Shark Social anxiety and drugs back in the day
I agree. I watched 2 videos tonight and I noticed something.
Good luck Kirk, were with you bro
He's cute ❤
Why does he always sound drunk?
Kirks actually a pretty nervous guy irl (from what ive heard) and he has a nervous stutter. If you watch lars's podcast when he had kirk on you can see the stutter is near non existent.
melissa n i read he goes to sex parties with his wife occasionally and also had his wife take him to a morgue on his first date with her. Sick....
Matthew Hadden ewww....
ei ~wee~ er~ o~
Kirk is just a guy who plays a guitar in a band. We all have to work to make money and all of our jobs create stress regardless of our stature. The difference is some of us love what we do and others tolerate what must be done.
Joe satriani is the best!
Nativ Aharon like Kirk says no one will play like him or ever will
When I first seen Kirk I thought he sounded all mean and big
It's sad to see him like that... :(
Martin Ševčík him stutter or looking stressed out about the riff thing?
He is a very nervous person genrally. And yes also the whole album probably also tore him down.
What on earth are you talking about? the man is a genius.. he is being interviewed by some nothing oddball....
The older Kirk gets, the more he looks like Susan Sarandon.
I guess we all see different things when we stare at the clouds.
2:54
I think its after a show n a cpl beers. So FUKN WHAT.
He is high, on weed. My guess and no blaming. Look how he rolls his eyes, how scared he watches from side to side, up and down, chewing his mouth, then his sitting "I'm Ok. Do I? F.. alright.."
He "finded" it, lol
sounds like hes has 6 or 7 beers
It's just his stutter probably
Has he got a stutter? I've been a Metallica fan since 1986 n never heard it.
Is it something more serious?
@@thebomb78 its social anxiety. I don't have a stutter when talking to family or close friends, but when I talk to strangers or people I dont know very well I stutter and fidget a lot.
Night of the living dead .....
Funner???? 🤣
🍺🍻🥂🥃😄
Yngvie said u were bad what is your reaction to his ruud shit .if u don't like something u don't need to say it .ho cares for yngvies music then
lie.he used said fucking unforgiven2
Kirk looks like my gran mama 😧
He talks like ozzy I can't hardly understand him lol
Parkinson's onset
Is Kirk drunk? Lol
Yes
@@Metal4Life56 Too much cocaine
@D B I mean he does admit he was addicted to it in the past. I don't know if he still uses it, probably not.
@D B I believe he had been struggling with alcohol and opiates around the time of Hardwired. He kicked opiates at some point but kept a bad drinking problem for a while, but these days he says he's totally sober and has been talking about how much better he feels. Not exactly sure _when_ he got sober but I'm almost positive he was in bad shape before/during Hardwired.
He sounds drunk as hell. Kirk, come on man.
he’s always sounded like that honestly and if you count the years of major alcoholism and coke use it’s obviously gonna have a lasting effect. he’s always been a nervous person with high anxiety it seems
And yea, someone else here mentioned this as well but Kirk Hamster always sounds drunk during interviews.
I think it’s a combination of all the drugs and booze he’s consumed over the yaaaarrrssss!!
That and I think he’s always been a little slow upstairs if you know what I mean 😝
Still love ya though Kirk, even though all your guitar solos sound the same 😳
I love Kirk but he has to do something about that hair. Also was he kind of drunk during this?
He's practically nearly bald on top, very very very thin. He's clearly putting Shoe polish, eyeliner or some type of dark makeup shit all over his scalp and it looks awful.
He is fucking drunk! :( Wow, this is so sad
I honestly have no clue how Kirk can get on stage and remember the songs. He can't even get words out his mouth without slurring them. I know he may be drunk but it could be drugs too. He has issues for sure. Bring Dave Mustaine back for one album and see how it goes.
Dave mustaine is a shit! Metallica need Kirk!
Dave why kirk is much better
Yeah, cause Dave has never done any drugs or had any addictions lol
Kirk es tan adorable, joder. No sé qué tiene.😹🖤
