But Kirk should not write anything. Hardwired is the best Metallica in like forever and it is thanks to Larz and Jamie-boy of going back to the roots, together
Death Magnetic was a way more back to the roots album with a lot of stuff from Kirk. Only bad thing is the production. I think Kirk should write more than ever now.
Kirk's responsible for some of Metallica's best riffs - the bridge riff of 'Creeping Death' is something he wrote as a teen, the pre-chorus riff of 'Master of Puppets' (the 'Come Crawling Faster..' riff) and the bridge riff of 'Damage Inc' are just a few examples.
Viss 8xM totally. i think the whole iphone story was just bullshit, he went through a tough time in his marriage lately so I'm sure he was not that much into the band those days so he just hadn't quality material so he came up with that stupid stuff. Just my thoughts BTW, who knows what really happened he felt left behind having no credits on this album so his hunger for writing is huge again, and that's good for all of us.
BurnBabyBurn! Yeah, I personally don't know what happened, so for me he just didn't contribute to the album which is sad. But I agree a 100% with you on his hunger for writing. I think (hope) the next record will be better than Hardwired.
So cool to get a chance to see them working on a song from moment zero, with James composing some harmonies on the spot and then Lars coming in with some beats. After loosing his phone and all those riffs Kirk is really trying to make a change and instead of letting the riffs pile up, his bringing them to the band right away and working on them. The whole band I think is really in a song writing mood, Robert recently said their only problem is having too many ideas and narrowing them down. Perhaps they also wanna quicken their album release cycle..duh.. "Hardwired" was the last song written and it was done in 2 weeks, so perhaps they wanna keep going with that.
Why would they not release a new album? If anything they may cut back on touring, i know touring is the main source of income for bands now but Metallica have often discussed the toll touring takes on their bodies.
Gary Fenlon When they were making Hardwired they rumored that it could be their last. How serious that was, I have no idea. Personally I think they will make at least one more, but I am looking at it optimistically in the face of time.
THIS IS WHERE I HEARD IT FROM. It's the riff from Crown of Barded Wire, glad to see that this 5 year old riff made it into the new album Edit: hearing it better, I think this version of the riff is heavier than the one we got on the album
Man, I loved the really heavy, grinding sound of the first part, but I've always been a fan of stuff like Bleeding Me and Fixxxer. Awesome to see the on the fly collaboration.
I hope next album will be aggressive like St. Anger, but with proper sound quality and guitar solos like they were in Death Magnetic: aggressive, violent, impulsive, great
This could be so bad ass. Hope they keep this and make it a song, and don't wait so damn long to make another album. 2 years tops and put out another one
this is a great sign to hear some new riffs lets push for another album maybe they are and will surprise us they only put 12 tracks on Hardwired when it was said they wrote over 20 maybe these new riffs are part of whats to come if so i like it
I want more vids like this!!! Even if that riff never makes it to a song this is apparently how they wrote their entire newest album AND Death Magnetic. Just putting riffs together that were made in the tuning room. This is like the only video that exists of Metallica writing material together. I think this is very cool and I would love for them to keep working on this riff to make a follow up video.
Kirk says "have you guys heard of that evil western movie that just came out, I think it's called the reckoning." Lars responds "you mean something about amityville?" Then proceeds to fuck up their riff. Thanks for showing up Lars.
@@alexei3803 Did the album release where you're from? I just saw they released a song called Sleepwalk My Life Away a couple days ago but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet.
im liking this new riff hope theres a new album on the horizon soon be a great quick follow up after Hardwired they must have extra songs written or they wouldnt be putting this out
They have so much fucking material they could relase an album every 2-3 years, but they have to fuck around in the studio, and record shit for 2 YEARS. Back in 80s they written demos, rehased and went into studio to record, and now they go into studio with nothing and create there. Wish they could return to the old method.
kristian A In fairness he should. He's credited for the bridge and other parts of Creeping Death, and (like it or not) the original main riff of Enter Sandman, etc...
Pretty much standard stuff, hand James something and he rolls with it and starts tinkering with it....there is something to that or sure. You could tell James' mind was spinning as he was placing/adding the harmony piece...
Gideon Buiting Of course! I became an instant fan the moment I first heard them. One article a few years ago labeled them "the new Metallica". I fully disagree. They're one of a kind.
If they announced they were cancelling the rest of their north American tour, to focus on the next album, to have out by the fall... I would be cool with that, as long as they made up the dates later. O.K. go!
realy like that riff, it rocks \m/ some suggestions: get rid of that guitar tone...Metallica needs something heavy again make Lars practise. Each day, a lot. Love his style, but shit he simply isnt good anymore
terriblecertainity He still has all his talent tbh, it's just that he's old. trust me, if you played the living shit out of your arms for 30+ years, they'd get tired too
The riff sounded great, i certainly couldn't cope in Kirks situation, he's probably got an abundance of great ideas, i would do solo records if i was him.
And six years later we have "Crown of Barbed Wire". This is how songs are composed!
I love Crown! Damn what a song, so heavy
Indeed thought the same thing
Watching James hear an idea from Kirk, then construct how it should work is EXACTLY the type of "making of" I want to see.
How did I just get that riff down faster than James???? lol "are we in tune together?" love these guys.
But Kirk should not write anything. Hardwired is the best Metallica in like forever and it is thanks to Larz and Jamie-boy of going back to the roots, together
Death Magnetic was a way more back to the roots album with a lot of stuff from Kirk. Only bad thing is the production. I think Kirk should write more than ever now.
and trujillo quietly off to the side learning it so he can nail it by the time theyre ready to play it.
kirks riffs are mint
And now five years later we find the origin of ‘crown of barbed wire’. That’s amazing.
Iphone-given
SO TIGHT, THIS CROWN OF BARBED WIRE
ITS DESTINY I WEAR
IT SPLITS THE SKIN TO THE SOUL
THIS JAGGED WREATH I BEAR
THIS RUSTED EMPIRE I OWN
James doing what he does best: adding the chugga-chugga
GOTTA GET IN GUGGA GUGGA SHAPE
Kirk played the original, James gave it the Hetfield touch, Rob gave it an edge and made it faster and Lars gave it a rhythm! Brilliant just awesome!
And it is now a full song
@@sancamilobad Lars got slower since.
Lars’ tempo on Barbed is absolutely perfect. Heavy yet lively. Hope they will play it live
After all those years they actually made a song out of it! 😮
Yes, it's so heavy
Yessir Crown Of Barbed Wire
just freaking found this now and YEAH!!!! Awesome isnt it?!!!!!!
Hope this riff makes it on a future album!
Eric Cardona It can but his voice will be shit. He releases album's every 8 fucking years.
Maybe not. On Hardwired, his voice sounded much better than on Death Magnetic and much much better than on St Anger.
I Killed The Legend27 to be honest, his voice is getting better with time.
I Killed The Legend27 Did you actually kill TheLegend27? :0
Mr. Aratoum My ass.
When i first heard Crown of Barbed Wire, I instantly came back to this. Crazy they kept the idea 6 years later
2:21 where they play the riff from Crown of Barbed Wire
Kirk's responsible for some of Metallica's best riffs - the bridge riff of 'Creeping Death' is something he wrote as a teen, the pre-chorus riff of 'Master of Puppets' (the 'Come Crawling Faster..' riff) and the bridge riff of 'Damage Inc' are just a few examples.
Kartik Chandrasekhar and enter sandman lol
And one from disposable heroes
Wild hearing this being used in new songs after waiting all this time. Crown of Barbed Wire!!
amazing how in 5 mins they come with almost a whole new song core. that's how success should be built, based on pure mixture of talents.
I think it's awesome that it started from Kirk. This just shows that the guy is still amazing and that he'll contribute to the next record.
Viss 8xM totally. i think the whole iphone story was just bullshit, he went through a tough time in his marriage lately so I'm sure he was not that much into the band those days so he just hadn't quality material so he came up with that stupid stuff.

jcfractal We all hope the next album comes out in less than 8 years
jcfractal James and Lars recorded 1.200 riffs already.
OnlyCualquiera i believe it was Robert who said we wouldn’t have to wait 8 years
Can't wait to see this as a full song in an album.
SarcasmCore ... If they make a new album again. I hope.
Why would they not release a new album? If anything they may cut back on touring, i know touring is the main source of income for bands now but Metallica have often discussed the toll touring takes on their bodies.

SarcasmCore Highly Dont hold your breath. Doubt this will be on a future (possibly last album). Over 800 riffs recorded, will never hear them.
you are in luck ;)
I love how into it James is. He barely said anything, just in his own little space trying to come up with new things and ideas.
THIS IS WHERE I HEARD IT FROM. It's the riff from Crown of Barded Wire, glad to see that this 5 year old riff made it into the new album
Edit: hearing it better, I think this version of the riff is heavier than the one we got on the album
That a boy Kirk! Bringing some fresh ideas to the table. Sick riff, I dig it.
How to transform a tipical Black Sabbath riff into a Metallica song
I love what Kirt came up with, just horror heavy.
Crown of barbed wire
i can imagine James voice over this :)
ı am not alone :)
Wiplash !!
Now you don’t have to imagine anymore.
This riff evolved to “Crown of barbed wire” in 72 seasons
Hopefully Kirk doesn't lose this one.
Joe Romano o
Well since this video is up on youtube there's no excuse.
yeah
Hello, future here, he didn't. It's on the album
This riff came out as "Crown of barbed wire" on new album
This became Crown Of Barbed Wire.
How do you know?
How did you hear it?
Link
Link please
@@skullmeat24It's so obvious dude
The simplicity of ulrich drumming makes the songs really interesting and playable.
Did Hammett get his iphone back?
I hope that ahahah
That riff is better SLOW... Cause give a better "dark"sound
I disagree. I think that the faster version with more energy really adds to the riff. I feel like when its slower there is too much space.
"Too much space"? I am going to try to be nice, but, man, that sounds lame. "Space" is good and that riff is better slow.
0:00 - 8:10 Lars sounds fucking great here!
HinjuRock ahahahah😂😂😂
I actually love Lars' drumming - he was a huge influence on me as a drummer, as was Kirk when I switched to guitar. I was just feeding the trolls ;)
Now we know from where Crown of Barbed Wire riff came from
James: “it’s the notes in between that are fucking with me”
Man, I loved the really heavy, grinding sound of the first part, but I've always been a fan of stuff like Bleeding Me and Fixxxer. Awesome to see the on the fly collaboration.
Those songs are fucking great.
This sounds like a promising riff thanks for putting this video up🤘🖒
Awesome....the hunger for new music runs in there veins🤘 the birth of new MetallicA riffs....and HEAVYYYY!
"Crown of Barbed Wire"
Crown of Barbed Wire riff !!! i knew i heard it somewhere before
This riff eventually made it into 72 Seasons! It's the intro to Crown of Barbed Wire
I hope next album will be aggressive like St. Anger, but with proper sound quality and guitar solos like they were in Death Magnetic: aggressive, violent, impulsive, great
Dave's Garage Proper sound quality like in Hardwired you mean :D
Dave's Garage I agree!
Hi, yes
@@ianhm2464 Hi, no. it's not aggressive at all. and the guitar solos are very simple compared to DM
This could be so bad ass. Hope they keep this and make it a song, and don't wait so damn long to make another album. 2 years tops and put out another one
That moment you realize there is someone whose job it is to hang tapestries in their warm up room
this is a great sign to hear some new riffs lets push for another album maybe they are and will surprise us they only put 12 tracks on Hardwired when it was said they wrote over 20 maybe these new riffs are part of whats to come if so i like it

I think this is very cool and I would love for them to keep working on this riff to make a follow up video.
Kirk comes up with a sweet slow heavy, Sabbathesque riff and they speed it up and make it all Tallicky.
how cool would it be if they just immediately went back to the studio and busted out a new album
I like that progression!!!!! I hope that makes it on the next record!
They did! Crown of barbed wire
0:14 the birth of “ crown of Barbed wire “
Kirk says "have you guys heard of that evil western movie that just came out, I think it's called the reckoning."
Lars responds "you mean something about amityville?" Then proceeds to fuck up their riff.
Thanks for showing up Lars.
this version sound so much better than the record
Yeah, Lars and James probably changed it, because it doesn't have the first part of the riff on the record.
Wherever I may roam PT. 2
8:42
James: ok Kirk the riff belongs to me now.
I dig that riff A LOT. I hope it makes it's way into a new record.
you're in luck
well you wouldn't believe your luck
@@alexei3803 Hmmm...I've only heard 3 songs from the new album and I'm not recognizing the riff but then again I've only heard those 3 songs twice.
@@mosesgarner2404 you'll reach it, don't worry
@@alexei3803 Did the album release where you're from? I just saw they released a song called Sleepwalk My Life Away a couple days ago but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet.
crown of barbed wire now
Crown Of Barbed Wire :D
And this song became Crown of Barbwire
i always love new songs, so exciting :D
Fuck James is good.. turned an ok riff into something that could make a record.
Yep. I reckon they are all downstrokes and that is what makes it sound so killer when he starts to nail it around the 8 minute mark.
It would be crazy if this ended up being the intro for 72 Seasons!!!
It did
Crown Of Barbed Wire 0_o
Crown of Barbed Wire
Sounds like Crowbar
Crown of Barbed Wire spotted here
I was at this show!!! So cool that they come up with this in Montreal!!! :D
Hmm
Smells like future kickass album up in here 🤔 I like it
Crown of Barbed Wire!!!!
they are making music like a real fucking band!
It sound's like cast the first stone from slayer on the 50 seconds of the song ( at least on the beginning
This riff became part of "Crown of Barbed Wire"
If I was James I would have look Lars like: ...Dude... Really??...
Do you guys think their will be a next Metallica album
Steven Baksh hopefully, I think their albums are starting to feel more ajfa mixed with black
Steven Baksh Rob said they have more coming in an interview and it won't be 8 years this time.
They said that after St. Anger also after death magnetic.... ;D
But if it makes better music i can wait
Steven Baksh i heard something about Lars saying they're "going to make albums until they drop dead"
im liking this new riff hope theres a new album on the horizon soon be a great quick follow up after Hardwired they must have extra songs written or they wouldnt be putting this out
damn, this song needs to happen.
SO TIGHT, THIS CROWN OF BARBED WIRE!!
nice idea for an instrumental
If this does become a fully fledged thing, I REALLY hope Lars picks a better beat for it
Crown of Barbed Wire?
Would like to see a single this riff is that good imo
Enter Crown Of Barbed Wire...
They have so much fucking material they could relase an album every 2-3 years, but they have to fuck around in the studio, and record shit for 2 YEARS. Back in 80s they written demos, rehased and went into studio to record, and now they go into studio with nothing and create there. Wish they could return to the old method.
In the start it's got a "Candlemass -Ancient Dreams" kinda feel to it... until Lars messed it up.
This is awesome. Just like every band I've played in when someone is trying to learn a new song! ☺
Sounds like a Candlemass riff at the beginning.
kirk sees $$$ on that riff
kristian A In fairness he should. He's credited for the bridge and other parts of Creeping Death, and (like it or not) the original main riff of Enter Sandman, etc...
This turn to Crown of Barbed wire...
And it made to the album! :P
James has it right from 7:49 - 8:08. Keep that sort of tempo with a little more rhythmic variation in the muted dead string picking a la 8:03.
Pretty much standard stuff, hand James something and he rolls with it and starts tinkering with it....there is something to that or sure. You could tell James' mind was spinning as he was placing/adding the harmony piece...
Sounds like a riff that Volbeat would write.
JustinJargon somethjng off of Beyond Hell or perhaps Rock the Rebel. Kinda reminds me of Who They Are for some reason
JustinJargon glad to see some Volbeat fans around! :D
Gideon Buiting Of course! I became an instant fan the moment I first heard them. One article a few years ago labeled them "the new Metallica". I fully disagree. They're one of a kind.
It sounded better here imo than the song they came up with
Crown of Barbed Wire!!!!!!!
If they announced they were cancelling the rest of their north American tour, to focus on the next album, to have out by the fall... I would be cool with that, as long as they made up the dates later. O.K. go!
I love the ending. True musicians :)
realy like that riff, it rocks \m/
some suggestions:
get rid of that guitar tone...Metallica needs something heavy again
make Lars practise. Each day, a lot. Love his style, but shit he simply isnt good anymore
terriblecertainity He still has all his talent tbh, it's just that he's old. trust me, if you played the living shit out of your arms for 30+ years, they'd get tired too
TCR no it's the fact that he used to do crack in his performances and quit
The riff sounded great, i certainly couldn't cope in Kirks situation, he's probably got an abundance of great ideas, i would do solo records if i was him.
I dunno but somehow Metallica playing has a meditating effect on me.
I think the movie Kirk is talking about is "The Salvation" with Mads Mikkelsen.
Kurt -Its called Redemption and its got Mads Mikkelsen
Barbed Wire
Crown of barbed wire riff
Now in 2023 we can all hear "crown of Barbed wire" This is a really cool insight to their writing.
