With all due respect, he’s a bedroom guitar player that got lucky. Everybody outgrows him for a reason - he doesn’t really learn anything new, interesting. Nor does he have any creativity left in him. This from a die-hard Metallica fan
@@goredrinker2740that is such a ridiculous and pathetic take. ‘Die-hard Metallica fan’ would know his contributions to Metallica songs are immeasurable. You have to be seriously deft to think Kirk just ‘got lucky’ .. What a joke.
Smart man. He said "I'm still learning that stuff." When we stop learning that's bad. No matter how good you are, you can always improve. Wanting to learn is what makes him a great guitar player. He's already a top guitarist and he wants to learn more. Great outlook in life.
This man is very humble to admit he's still learning and getting inspired by other guitarists, I've seen some interviews where guitarists aren't so humble lol
Maybe my favorite live album of all time. Such an insane feeling when you hear that for the first time and you realize how much of a master Hendrix was
Yes. It also makes you realise what a troll Eddie Van Halen could be (in the nicest possible way). He never gave Jimi credit, but so much of EVH's sound, style and content came from Band of Gypsies
It's the flow that keeps me interested.. easy pickings that feel good in ya hand is what keeps me intrigued..you always play it on time because it's that good.
That is my absolute FAVORITE Hendrix intro to any of his songs(definitely the live one off of band gypsies album) Kirk, you are The man for playing that!
That's definitively the power of soul applied to the guitar. Crazy how Jimmy could create and make you feel that he's talking to you just with the guitar. 🎉❤😊
You're a genius for putting the music with that. I saw so many people trying to talk smack and say it wasn't a jimi hendrix song he was playing in the original video.😂
He's so passionate about it he sounds like he's about to cry. Metallica was saved the day he joined, especially with cliff gone a few years later and dave long gone, he was the lone virtuoso in the band. Plus he wrote the biggest riff in the band's career, Enter Sandman.
I was just listening to this young guitar player, Gabriele Leite. Amazing player. Would love to see Rick showcasing new and upcoming guitar players like her.
This is so true. You know the scales and technically what they're playing but when you delve into the feel you never stop picking up new things. The more you know the more there is to learn.
many many people scoff at Kirks playing, and just as many people go nuts for it, but listen here… the guy is so sweet and humble, it’s hard not to at least love him as a person
In 1985 from my hard-earned cash I have bought the Band of gypsies record. It was the only record the store had from Jimi.(Hungary stores didn't had a great selection those times) So I heard this song before Hey Joe. Sweet memories of youth.❤ And I also still learning those stuff.😊
Awesome commentary, Beck is the only player I can’t tell if there’s a slide or amazing skill on the trem arm. I’ll miss that music man as long as I live. Hendrix speaks for itself. Schenker too!
One of my favorites - Michael Schenker (guitar Mozart). But Kirk this guitar made famous GARY MOORE - if you listen his old rock songs you'll be obsessed too
Warms my heart to see that Kirk is still excited about not only listening to music but to keep learning in general

If you stop learning, you stop growing. Great message.
Awesome overlaying of the track with his playing
My first thought too! Damn his timing is impeccable and the editing is superb
He even reMembers the tempo
Ikr and he even took about a half beat when Kirk played a bit fast 😂
He put it to mask kirk's tone 😂
@@bladeoflucatiel😂😂 come on bro no need for that 😂😂

Kirk has the most amazing music collection. This is not a surprise that he’s still learning after all these years. Rock on, Kirk! 🤘🏼
Brings a smile to my face every time I see Greeny.
This man is very humble to admit he's still learning and getting inspired by other guitarists, I've seen some interviews where guitarists aren't so humble lol
Kirk is such a gentle soul ❤️
Kirk is one of my favorite guitarists. Seems like a really cool guy.
after all these years I still listen to BoG more than any other Hendrix record. Just a fantastic guitar album.
Maybe my favorite live album of all time. Such an insane feeling when you hear that for the first time and you realize how much of a master Hendrix was
@@josephl.2398 That guitar solo in Machine Gun is probably responsible for 10,000 kids deciding to pick up a guitar.
Yes. It also makes you realise what a troll Eddie Van Halen could be (in the nicest possible way). He never gave Jimi credit, but so much of EVH's sound, style and content came from Band of Gypsies
So inspiring how much he still loves playing
Super cool to hear him mention Michael. A monster player then and now, and for me his time in UFO helped define the late 70s.
Got that right! Shenker influenced so many guitar players.
Good to hear he mentioned Schenker.... one of my all time favorites. I don't often hear guitarists mentioning him.
Kirk has been saying his name since his first column in Guitar World in 2002
Schenker inspires me too just not Michael, Rudy for the win, just love the scorpions
Many of themetal guys from the early mid 80s mention him. Mustaine, Kerry King, Marty Friedman
Schenker is awesome!
All those guys were using V's because of Michael Schenker, it's widely documented
Kirk is such a Juggernaut of talent, and still so humble, and gives praise to all his peers, and the Greats who have passed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Im still obsessed with Kirk Hammet
He’s the coolest Metallica member by far
This is the way. To continue to play and learn!
Nice to hear he appreciates M.Schenker!
The man started using V's because of him probably as early as 1979
It's the flow that keeps me interested.. easy pickings that feel good in ya hand is what keeps me intrigued..you always play it on time because it's that good.
A true inspiration for a real guitar player.
He's been listening to that stuff all his life and still it's new.
I love that song. Hendrix was doing some amazing stuff in 69-70
That is my absolute
FAVORITE Hendrix intro to any of his songs(definitely the live one off of band gypsies album)
Kirk, you are The man for playing that!
With the power,
Of soul,
Anything is possible
That quote sounds like Santana. So does his guitar.
People are obsessed with your solos too 🙋❤
Kirk is a great lover of blues.
Loved this interview. His child like passion and the fact that he's out of his head on something😂
He High af! I feel stupid I didn't notice I watched this interview probably twice in bits and pieces and now I don't know how I possibly missed it😅
the world is beautiful because of the music.let's make most beautiful planet in the univers .🎸🎹🙏
Power of Love baby! Band Of Gypsy’s was the best live album for me at 13 years old. Still can’t get enough of it!
That's definitively the power of soul applied to the guitar. Crazy how Jimmy could create and make you feel that he's talking to you just with the guitar. 🎉❤😊
You're a genius for putting the music with that. I saw so many people trying to talk smack and say it wasn't a jimi hendrix song he was playing in the original video.😂
Its amazing how the timing is perfect with the overlaying like the original 👌
He's hearing that in his head and keeping perfect time.
Dude has a metronome in his brain lol
He's so passionate about it he sounds like he's about to cry. Metallica was saved the day he joined, especially with cliff gone a few years later and dave long gone, he was the lone virtuoso in the band. Plus he wrote the biggest riff in the band's career, Enter Sandman.
Blues is at the heart of it all.
Best to truly understand that if you want to play Rock, Jazz, and the rest.
It sounds so much better when they put the backing track with him. The original with no backing track sounds empty.
That is the guitar the late Gary Moore composed such power blues as 'Still Got the Blues' and unbelievable live performances, and now...
Awesome bruh! total passion Kirk I Love that stuff too🤙
I was just listening to this young guitar player, Gabriele Leite. Amazing player. Would love to see Rick showcasing new and upcoming guitar players like her.
What a treat to see something like this
The timing on that Hendrix song, lovely
This is so true. You know the scales and technically what they're playing but when you delve into the feel you never stop picking up new things. The more you know the more there is to learn.
The timing was perfect.
That ending note just feel too damn good
I know the feeling and Mathias Jabs.. guitar is an addiction.
It doesn't matter if you are already a world-renowned guitarist, they are always learning something new. Something to keep fresh.
many many people scoff at Kirks playing, and just as many people go nuts for it, but listen here… the guy is so sweet and humble, it’s hard not to at least love him as a person
Kirk is undeniably one of the most loveable guys in metal 😂 the fact that music still excites him after all he’s done, excites me
What a lovely old lady.....
i saw the full interview it was great
Power of Soul Hendrix song !!!!!!
what a trio!
A great way to sound unique is to pull inspiration from other genres, so Kirk is just being relatable here
Great song.
His solo on 'the thing that should not be'. FUCKING LIT!
Love that hang...
into clickclickCLACK ! WEEEEURRRRRRRR
O
😊
That was a really good rendition of Hendrix from Kirk!
For a guy who has blessed us with some of the heaviest guitar riffs….why’s he always sound like he’s on the verge of tears haha
He sounds drunk or high off his ass when he talks but his timing was pretty perfect. He could just be a bit weird and awkward tho, I can’t tell.
He nailed that!
One of my favorite Hendrix songs and one of my all-time favorite licks of all time
'Those who are not busy being reborn are busy dying'.
So reassuring the greatest of the greatest are still looking up to Blues
Amazing how he has drums with his guitar
😂😂
Rick overlaid the original Hendrix audio, which obviously has drums in it, with Kirk’s playing here.
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 I think it was just a joke
@@wilsoncrocket3082 nah. With how smoothbrained the internet generally is in comment sections, i doubt it
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 hahahaha maybe...
The fact he played it to the EXACT bpm of the track too. Bravo man
It's coming for you where ever you roam
Love you kirk ,Jimi is Always great to hear I'm 70 now I never tire of him I'm in Seattle with his bro Leon Hendrix , play highway child by jimi
Little do most metal heads know that their guitar heroes are not major fans of the metal the fans listen to. They instead like the blues and rock.
Ya, they thrive on the raw power when young, but eventually outgrow it.
Great guitar face at the end there
Bluestallica would be an interesting listen.

Band of Gypsies live at Fillmore East New years Eve '69/'70 were the best performances, hands down. Best lineup 👌
Love the guy
Hendrix at Fillmore east. Wow. Think of where music was at when jimi came on to the scene. He was 27 years old
We all still learning ❤😂
I love Kirk's personality, even though he's far from my favorite guitarist. I'd love to hang out with him
Awesome commentary, Beck is the only player I can’t tell if there’s a slide or amazing skill on the trem arm. I’ll miss that music man as long as I live. Hendrix speaks for itself. Schenker too!
I love the fact that he never looked down at his hands while playing!
Very cool to hear a new song I wasn't familiar with
Powerr of Soul . Can't disagree with that choice.
His tone and playing was better here than in most of his concerts
Awesome 😎😎😎😎👍🏾
Thank you Rick.
Love it ❤
Hammet is a nice guy
When Kirk said "Jeff Beck", a little Jerry Seinfeld or Bill Burr came out! 😂😅
Awesome
You love it because it's the best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
People will be learning Hendrix and Jeff Beck for eternity. They touched the third rail!
Idc what anyone says, I still love Hammet. All around great guitarist and person.
Yea baby!
One of my favorites - Michael Schenker (guitar Mozart). But Kirk this guitar made famous GARY MOORE - if you listen his old rock songs you'll be obsessed too
❤ Kirk ❤ his joie de vivre
Very cool!!!!
Didnt he rip that ditty from the isley bris???70's what a great time.
Wow ! 🎵🎸💎😎👌
Now that I'm older I realize everybody plays that when they're young without even knowing it was Hendrix
Hell yeah 💯
Me too!
I still hold hope that Kirk and Les Claypool can start a full on band together, push out an album or two.
Kirk rules
