    it's funny how Kirk haters can say he sucks when Joe Satriani (the guitar master) says he's an amazing guitar player and has taught Kirk in 1984.

    before anyone starts bashing the sound.. look at the majority of these youtube amp demos where they probably use 1 sm57 and nothing else to capture what the amp really feels and sounds like. most demos sound like crap as it is.. but once you play it in person its a totally different experience.

    • @7James77
      @7James77 5 лет назад +1

      Sure, Randalls sound great, but the way he has the tone setup is pretty bad. This is more of a Rock tone than Metal and explains why Death Magnetic sounded not so good, among other things.

  • @zzzhuh
    @zzzhuh 9 лет назад +82

    Jeez... I can't believe all the hate on this video.
    Look, I enjoy there sound from RTL and MOP the most. That sound just had so much to it, and it was mixed really well.
    But times change. And yea, the amp doesn't sound amazing.
    But did everyone really feel the need to just go ape shit on Kirk as a person?
    He is a great guy, and is very humble for being in the biggest rock band in the world. Does he need to apologize for being 53 years old and not being as lively as he was when he was in his 20's?

      Not this "oh give this 50-year-old man some credit" bullshit, ever since he started growing that mustache his playing skills gradually turned into junk, and that was like 25 years ago. Jeff Loomis is fucking older than my dad, and only couple of years younger than Kirk, guess what, dude still plays like no one could ever even get close to, oh yeah that's because he doesn't do drugs and spends most of his time practicing, DUH.

    Kirk Haters are mostly (99,9%) angry individuals who achieved nothing in life and now they are just releasing their stinking poison, many of them also seriuosly lack intelligence (usually people with less IQ struggle in life, but they do have often toxic tongue)...According to old wisdom "you reap what you saw" with this toxic language they just invite more misfortune into their life ! The truth is that guitar players who are truly dedicated to their instrument never criticize other guitarists or are disrespectful, it is those who are really not talented (but jelaous) that are whinning. The truth is that Kirk could play better even in sleep than those haters, yes truth hurts.. So my advice is if you want to improve your life, it will not happen by being angry asshole, you will suffer even more like that. Rather spend ur precious time (cause life is very short), by doing something useful, like guitar practice for example ! But its easier to sit behind comp and writting stupid comments isn it ?

      No that's not right, erm.. Vibrato? No he can't do that...
      Lucky?
      Famous by association? No sorry guys I can't think of the right words.
      If you like Kirks tone or playing in anything where he wasn't drunk or high as fuck then stop it.
      There are better players out there.
      Stop defending shit, as a wise man once said, "you can't polish a turd"

It's a cash grab like those ugly LTD bolt ons with lesser Floyd Roses he auctioned a few months ago.

    People stop fucking moaning, it sounds great, the tone your used to hearing is a blend of a full production or what you play at home, which i guarantee sounds shit live, when you mic up at gigs, or in studio a tech will either adjust your amp (yes its his job to get it sounding right), and add eq and remove tones that interfere with other instruments, this sounded absolutely spot on to be used as part of a mix, so the tone is perfect

      120W is overkill? That's pretty standard unless your not playing with a drummer

      @@ryangarnett4705 I've done sound for many years. I'd say it's a matter of taste and what the demands are regarding stage volume and venue size. For me 60 to 100 is a good range. I now have a new Boss MKIi that is 100. More than enough power.

    I always thought they used Randall amps on ...And Justice album. Randall amps with scooped mids and the other things they done for the tone... they used MESA Boogie on the album! Never knew it was capable. I bought one a long time ago when I found out so I can get as close to the And Justice for All tone as possible and I got just about spot on!

    I could listen to Kirk play all day. His guitar sound is so raw, distinct and brutal. He puts most other guitar players to shame. A few guitar players who give me a headache after about half a minute are Eddie van halen, Steve vai, and Zach wylde. Kirk kicks their ass any day.

  • @crate3232
    @crate3232 9 лет назад

    I have the feeling he has the amp dialed in to mix with his band. A busy rhythm guitarist, a loud drummer, and bass player playing thrash metal. He doesn't have it dialed in to sound good playing by himself in the bedroom. I think a demo of this amp in the jam room would have done it much more justice for all.

I see so much dislike in the guitar world, its crazy lol He's in a legendary band, makes tons of $$$, and has a lot of signature gear. Good for him. This world has wayyyyy more problems to deal with besides people bitchin about Kirk! There are better guitarist, there are worse. Get over it lol

    So people say his tone sucks?! Maybe his demoing skills; besides, it is an interview setting. Probably one take, and he was just exemplifying what the amp is best suited for in his playing style. I like his tone, and the playing is on par.

    His rhythm tone sounds a lot like Scott Ian's. Of course, the fact that they're both Randall endorsees might have something to do with that.
