This is gold, thank you all for making this possible, these memorys are the stuff that truly matters the most. To relate as real people, to see the past, the struggle of the early days with no money, no clue of when your next meal, or bottle of beer, or if there is another meal, or beer, or place to sleep, was the reality of these guy's. There was no plan "B". It was do or die, against all odds, and they did it! All my respect and love to the boy's. Metallica is the greatest band in the history of metal, in my opinion the best band of all time. Keep creeping Kirk!!!😊
Thank you for taking the time to speak about what you thought about the commentary. Was our pleasure to share this gold content with fellow fans. I invite you to check out our website www.metalmayhemroc.com
I was front row at the load tour in worcestor mass. At the end the guys went around shaking hands n stuff. James kinda just walked by smiled and waved Lars ran around and smacked everybody's hand but Jason grabbed my hand like we were gonna arm wrestle n we touched fore heads and Kirk shook my hand with a very firm grip n said "thank you for being here" to me. I'll never forget that
That's the Kirk that we know and love. Thank you for listening watching and taking the time to comment. I invite you to go to our website www.metalmayhemroc com
Kirk is so down to earth. (And patient). You can tell how caught up in the busyness of Metallica and the music industry (he is). Kirk's old buddies are funny as hell. This podcast is the best.
This interview was just casually sitting in my recommended feed. So glad I clicked through… The amount of value this interview serves toward Metallica and metal/rock history is insane!
Thank you for that. We really appreciate you finally clicking on it. Lol. I invite you to check out the rest of our content as we try to present cool interviews and other stuff for you guys.www.metalmayhemroc.com
Very humble. Good natured. We spent a bit of time speaking that never made it to the final interview. Really was generous with his time and it was a cool discussion.
Thank you for taking the time and commenting and expressing your interest. Is a long time Metallica fan this was a treat for me as well. All we ask is you share it with all your Metallica friends.www.metalmayhemroc.com
I am from the ROC and all these places I remember even though I am much younger. But all classics! Watching Kirk get hit buy the memories after talking about it.
Given their budget its actually not surprising that studio is not really a recording studio at all. They are recording the drums in a room with windows and a giant fireplace. Talk about guerrilla recording. ***its called black dog recording studio now. The photos match up.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and more importantly to send us a message. We thank you. I invite you to check out our website and see what other outstanding content we have to offer.www.metalmayhemroc.com
Kirk is an absolute treasure. I was afraid that he lost his ability, but I went to Texas in August to see them and they're as good as they've ever been.

Love this video. My wife is from Buffalo and to hear of sheet pizzas and wings takes me to Western New York. I had no Idea they did Kill Them All in Rochester. too cool man.
I truly felt like I was watching old buddies catch up at a bbq since adult life has taken over. Insanely cool and all best reasons why I love Kirk. Not only because he looks and reminds me of my dad, but his personality is truly just you and I, humbled.
Amazing interview and the pictures and stories just add so much more in depth as to how things came about. It puts a whole different spin on the things that I’ve come to build in my mind. I Cannot Thankyou enough for sharing all this

OMG I remember the King Biscuit Flour Hour !!! I also remember Fade To Black was the very last song KNAC ever played !!! KNAC if people aren't knowing cause they aren't old like me , KNAC was our metal station out of Long Beach Calif. and Metallica was huge on that station in the 80's , I have been rocking with the fellas since 1986 !!!!! Love you guys !!!!!
I met one of the Old Bridge militia guys a couple of years while I was waiting in a bank, He was easy to spot because his jacket had Old Bridge Militia in the Metallica logo. He told me a lot of stories of partying and rocking out with all the Metallica boys in the 83.
This was a good watch. The old stories are awesome. I'm 39. So when Black Album came out, I vaguely remember my parents listening to it. Certainly enter sandman. But at 13 or so, kill em all was my Metallica album. So 1997. Load was out, but wasn't my speed at the time, however, Load and reload Now are my favorite periods along with Garage inc.
I'm 41 and I became a Metallica fan between the release of Load and ReLoad, so those albums are very nostalgic to me, but my first Metallica album purchase was the black album and I have Weird Al to thank for that because he put Enter Sandman in one of his polka compilations. I thought that melody was so cool that I had to buy the album.
I heard Rob Barrett of CANNIBAL CORPSE and SOLSTICE talking on one of the out takes of the Centuries of Torment DVD on youtube about buying a very important guitar to him from HOUSE OF GUITARS in Rochester. He said it was a Les Paul sitting in the window when he was an "unsigned" young metalhead. 7 years later he went back after getting into CORPSE and having two nickels to rub together, and the same guitar was still there and he was able to buy it. I loved that story. You guys at that store have heavy metal cred and a hand in the history. A legacy to be proud of.. I'm in need of a high gain combo amp. Maybe I'll check out the online site ( if you have one) when I'm done cruising youtube.
Wow what a great thing to watch these guys seeing each other again and reminiscing after all these years. I feel like I was part of it. Fuck yeah!!!🤘💥💫
Every time I watch one of these anniversary videos, it always reminds me how gifted I was to be an adult when these albums first came out and so therefore I could off really appreciate the musicianship.
Kirt, you guys were a great inspiration for many of us as well. Kill em All did a lot for me changed my whole perspective, you guys were innovators. That album is among my favorite all time.
That was awesome. Kirk is obviously appreciative of his time in Rochester and recalls pretty much all of it. Nice works putting this interview together guys. Freakin' fantastic! If you want to carpool to Boston let me know. I can deal with being in the pit while you guys sip champagne backstage.
Thank you for watching the interview and taking the time to send us a comment. We'll do our best to do a follow-up but in any case we invite you to check out the rest of our content as we try to do this kind of stuff on other interviews and self in-house content.Have a great holiday season.
This is amazing! I love Kirks interviews and his down to earthness and his memory is incredible. Dont forget he`s never seen these pictures and he`s just straight in the moment, taking us back there with him. Despite the hugeness of Metallica they`re still so accessible, theres still that connection with the fans and after 35 years (for me) I still feel part of it. For the record I got one of Kirks picks at the second Manchester show in 2019 and was feet away from him when he (as always) was thanking the fans at the end. A true gentleman.
I had seen these pictures floating around and I'm so glad this interview finally funneled into my suggestions. Thank you for helping add to the legendary chronicles of one of the most important bands to ever exist. Thank you ❤
You're more than welcome man. We're very fortunate to have this content and have the connection with the band. We invite you to check out the rest of our content is you may enjoy what we do.www.metalmayhemroc.com
just reached the end, it’s awesome seeing exclusive photos that haven’t been in previous documentaries. plus, the storytelling just paints a clearer picture. thanks guys !
King Bisquit Flower hour with Preist ...... I hit record on my 8 track tape player, luckily I had 1 blank tape. I remember thinking just how lucky & happy I was listening to it.
This video randomly popped up in my feed and it’s so great! I grew up in Canandaigua but had family in Monroe County so I always considered myself a Rochester native. I got into Metallica in the early 90’s when I was about 11 years old. It wasn’t until a few years later I found out that they recorded Kill ‘Em All in Rochester and I was shocked! For my generation that’s like finding out Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones recorded their first album in your hometown. I’ve always wanted to hear the band talk about their experiences in Rochester so I just wanted to say thank you for this!
Kill em all is to this day one of my favorite albums. The energy on that album is unmatched and to this day ive yet to hear anyone recreate that guitar tone properly
Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching the video. Is a lifelong Metallica fan it was an honor to give this early Christmas gift to my fellow Metallica heads. Enjoy the holidays and I invite you to check out our other content We do our best up here to bring you cool stuff like this.
Must admit, the just seen photos kinda mess with the mental perception we all built in our heads over the years. Of the times and actual places, where it all went down! Music and imagery are both important in the creation of a mythology. Metallica has a very rich backdrop to the sounds they created
What a great interview! To have Kirk and all you guys share stories and the pictures! More! I was 15 in the summer of 1985 mowing my parents lawn in the Florida sun….And my rides up on his bike holding two records. Slayer Hell Awaits and….Ride the Lighting. Left the yard half mowed cause I lived in a little town and Metal Music was hard to come by. We listened and read all the lyrics and all liner noted over and over that day….Then my buddy said oh Metallica has another record …So we grab the bikes and rode to his house a mile away as fast as 15 year olds could go on bikes….Kill em All was the record waiting for me. I’ll never forget that day! Thank you for such a great video!
You're more than welcome my friend. We're cut from the same cloth Guess back in the day being my buddies did the same thing ride our bikes down to local record store by albums. We all had paper routes or used to watch dishes at restaurants as kids and just bought metal albums. I invite you to check out our website www.metalmayhemroc.com
@@metalmayhemroc1851 Heck yeah man! Metal fans are the same everywhere that I've been. I moved from Houston Texas to this little town Plant City population 15k around 1983. It was like I moved to the moon HAHA! I was used to big city redneck's ..small town red necks are a different animal ...I heard LONG HAIR ALERT whenever I showed up to Baseball practice or riding the bike around town. Everyone was related in some way or knew each other all their lives. I felt like an outsider day 1 till the day I left that town. No record stores carried imports or anything heavier than say Maiden or Priest in that town. If it wasn't for tape trading or the occasional trip 30 minutes to Tampa to go to a real record store it was slim pickings on metal especially new metal. Luckily in a few years the Death Metal era began, and I was in the right spot and time to see all the now legendary Death Metal bands that came out of Tampa Bay area Orlando. CHEERS....Checking out your website also! Great video man! LIKED & SUBBED!
I can only imagine the feeling of hearing "Ride the Lighting" in 1985 when metal was a new thing. Even to this day, after thousands of times hearing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" , "Fight Fire with Fire" and the likes, I almost always end up thinking: "How the hell did a buch of 23-24 year-olds came up with this shit?" Gift from the Gods, for sure.
@@hugo2314 Up to that point Fight Fire with Fire was the fastest song we ever heard. We thought Motorhead was pretty fast at times Metallica was a step and beyond. Music was really different back then. Google what was on the charts as far as music in the summer of 1985 and you'll see what I mean haha!. Me and my little group of friends wasn't into the music on the radio and this new thing called MTV. It was like finding treasure when a friend brought you an album or cassette and said... CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!
@@FLORIDAROOMJAMS Yeah man, would've killed to be a teenager in the 80's. The same thing happened to me in 2003. Nu metal was everywhere. The heaviness of it captured my attention, but never really connected with all the gimmicks that came along with it. And then a good homie of mine showed me "Master of Puppets" (the track)...and it was game over. Die-hard Metallica fan ever since. It's crazy how the same process happens over and over through generations. Powerful stuff.
I really enjoyed this show. I stumbled across this channel because I was in my recommendations. I was psyched to see At the show is based right here in Rochester. I have family members who are friends with the host; Small world.
Amazing interview. I actually learned something new which is unusual for me these days with Metallica. It's great Kirk was all concerned with making it up when they didn't get on the guest list. Those guys never forget where they came from.
I nuat seen history last nifht here in Riyadh saudi arabia it was amazing. We are america s living in Qatar and drove here for our daughters 18th birthday . It was amazing !!
AWESOME interview! This is priceless. Man, I missed them by a few months! I left town just before then. I worked at Art Stocks Playpen for a long time and used to go to House of Guitars all the time just to hang out. I know WGMC is a jazz station now, but I honestly have never heard of it. Lived here all my life (mostly). Maybe because I never rolled the dial lower than 90.5. or when WRUR was a thing.
@@dominiquez5643 Oh no no no it's on there for everyone to see. It's just a popular video and so I've just curious how people found it. I invite you to check out the rest of our content and visit our website it's probably a lot of stuff we do here you may enjoy.www.metalmayhemroc.com
kirk is one of the reasons i started smoking weed and learning guitar simultaneously. i cant even imagine where i would be without metallica and kirk hammett
I wonder if Kirk remembers getting into a car with Brent and Dustin from Thought Industry in Battle Creek, Michigan on the Master of Puppets tour and going out to their house in Athens and jamming with them all day before the show at the Kellogg Center. Way out in the middle of nowhere.

Nope..it was Andrew.
How is Andrew's last name spelled? That should be entered into Wikipedia.

i was there ass well.....loud!!!
It’s cool how animated Kirk gets, I’ve rarely seen him get excited in interviews 😂😂
It wasn't your ordinary interview. You were privy to like a fly on the wall conversation.
Hes clean these days :). Benzos take the life out of people. edit: and alcohol
Kirk is so down to earth. (And patient). You can tell how caught up in the busyness of Metallica and the music industry (he is). Kirk's old buddies are funny as hell. This podcast is the best.

Very humble. Good natured. We spent a bit of time speaking that never made it to the final interview. Really was generous with his time and it was a cool discussion.
We definitely need another one of these but with James and lars and Kirk and them reacting to the ride the lightning era.
It's always a treat hearing new (old) Cliff Burton stories. Great Show!!! Thanks Kirk!!!
Yes it is indeed. Thank you for listening and commenting
I dig how Kirk still has that kid like vibe!
Totally. thank you for commenting.
i love how kirks laugh or voice hasnt changed
This must be one of the best interviews to a Metallica member that I've ever seen, what a GREAT material! Thank you!

Thank you for listening... And from being from The "ROC"...
LET ME ASK YOU HOW DID YOU COME ACROSS OUR INTERVIEW?
Seeing color pics of them in that studio is just mind-blowing. I've had images of my own in my head for so long.
Thank you for commenting and viewing. Bang that head that does not bang...
Given their budget its actually not surprising that studio is not really a recording studio at all. They are recording the drums in a room with windows and a giant fireplace. Talk about guerrilla recording. ***its called black dog recording studio now. The photos match up.
this ruled! it was awesome seeing Kirk interact with people that he met before they broke big. killer podcast!

My favourite Highway star play at gym
I live down here in Rochester, I work at the house of guitars, I’m 19 and honestly I love this
I heard Rob Barrett of CANNIBAL CORPSE and SOLSTICE talking on one of the out takes of the Centuries of Torment DVD on youtube about buying a very important guitar to him from HOUSE OF GUITARS in Rochester.
He said it was a Les Paul sitting in the window when he was an "unsigned" young metalhead.
7 years later he went back after getting into CORPSE and having two nickels to rub together, and the same guitar was still there and he was able to buy it.
I loved that story.
You guys at that store have heavy metal cred and a hand in the history. A legacy to be proud of..
I'm in need of a high gain combo amp.
Maybe I'll check out the online site ( if you have one) when I'm done cruising youtube.
Holy shit! Some first seen pics....wow! Insane to see new pics never seen by anyone before, even Kirk! \m/

Music was really different back then. Google what was on the charts as far as music in the summer of 1985 and you'll see what I mean haha!. Me and my little group of friends wasn't into the music on the radio and this new thing called MTV. It was like finding treasure when a friend brought you an album or cassette and said... CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!
@@FLORIDAROOMJAMS Yeah man, would've killed to be a teenager in the 80's. The same thing happened to me in 2003. Nu metal was everywhere. The heaviness of it captured my attention, but never really connected with all the gimmicks that came along with it. And then a good homie of mine showed me "Master of Puppets" (the track)...and it was game over. Die-hard Metallica fan ever since. It's crazy how the same process happens over and over through generations. Powerful stuff.
Amazing interview guys! Very interesting to be able to hear this stories and to see old photos.
These seem like very good times! 🤘🏻
King biscuit flower hour,always enjoyed listening to that.
Great video. I really hope the other two will do the same, the stories are so funny to hear.
I really enjoyed this show. I stumbled across this channel because I was in my recommendations. I was psyched to see At the show is based right here in Rochester. I have family members who are friends with the host; Small world.
Well I'm the host of Metal Mayhem Roc. I'm wondering who your family members are that know me
@@metalmayhemroc1851 Hi John, I'm Joe Lori's brother. I think you guys were neighbors at one time and she worked on your food truck for a while.
I love listening to Kirk's interviews he's so incredibly incredible ❤ and Hot and gorgeous I just love ❤️ him
Absolute gem!
Amazing interview. I actually learned something new which is unusual for me these days with Metallica. It's great Kirk was all concerned with making it up when they didn't get on the guest list. Those guys never forget where they came from.
Amazing interview into the enviornment of the album making and that period of the band
I nuat seen history last nifht here in Riyadh saudi arabia it was amazing. We are america s living in Qatar and drove here for our daughters 18th birthday . It was amazing !!
so cool seeing all these unseen pictures. great interview!
AWESOME interview! This is priceless. Man, I missed them by a few months! I left town just before then. I worked at Art Stocks Playpen for a long time and used to go to House of Guitars all the time just to hang out. I know WGMC is a jazz station now, but I honestly have never heard of it. Lived here all my life (mostly). Maybe because I never rolled the dial lower than 90.5. or when WRUR was a thing.
our band in forever in debt to Kirk Hammett
Great interview guys!

Kirk is one of my childhood heros and so humble. He is the shit

kirk is one of the reasons i started smoking weed and learning guitar simultaneously. i cant even imagine where i would be without metallica and kirk hammett
awesome!
Kirk has a new kiddo?! Congrats!
Guess so..lol.. A little Hammett
@@metalmayhemroc1851 another very AWESOME Hammett! I wish them the best
@@metalmayhemroc1851 I’m not sure if you can answer this, but has a new baby been confirmed?
I wonder if Kirk remembers getting into a car with Brent and Dustin from Thought Industry in Battle Creek, Michigan on the Master of Puppets tour and going out to their house in Athens and jamming with them all day before the show at the Kellogg Center. Way out in the middle of nowhere.
Kill Em All was 3 years old when I was born
Awesome!!
