I don't understand why people are so down on metallica. Yes they changed their sound a little. But james is still writing some wonderful riffs. After 30 years you have to expect change. Who here is in their 50's and doing exactly what you did at 18. They still play the old stuff live and it sounds great. But I don't expect another kill Em all or puppets coming out of the studio. It's just part of getting older and growing. I have a ton of respect for them just for continuing put out music.
People aren't really mad at Metallica, they're mad about aging. The guys are still putting out some great stuff, but to those who grew up with it it'll never be the same.
+Kevin N When writing, if you think you got a good idea, you gotta record it right away. Otherwise you'll forget, or only be able to partially remember how you played it. Once songs/pieces are written, it just like learning others songs. Repetition and familiarity.
They don’t remember all of them necessarily, mostly just the ones they play regularly or the that they’ve played a ton of times. It’s not really any different from memorizing covers
colin poitras right?!?! its cool because that's the actual v he used to record all of his parts on kill em all' the headstock snapped and he just didn't have much use for it at the time.
hetfield has the most beautiful guitars in all rock history. I would die for one of them... He's a Killer and so powerfull, that no word can explain it the right way. Godlike!!!
I think yes. They will be on Aerodrome Festival in Prague ( Czech Republic ) and they promised to us, that they will play as the last song, some new song! So.. I think the new album is near!
around 5:40 to 7:55 they're working on my fav song. suicide and redemption. seriously love what they did with that song. it's even better live (from what i've seen on youtube) oh and after watching this, my appreciation for death magnetic went up. I love how hard James and Lars work to make their music right.
The amps they have lying around are usually Mesa combos, yes. That's probably the same one they had in the tuning rooms at shows throughout a good portion of 90s/00s which is a Dual Recto Trem-O-Verb. 2:45 is badass. Judas Kiss has one of the best grooves on DM and that chorus is just so powerful and thrashy!
Dude they go over what songs the fans like and then they just practice it over and over.. They got new ear pieces that play background stuff via Bluetooth. Not too difficult. Wow 😱 amazing
James loves those Gibsons. I can't afford the one I really want. I have a really old Ibenez 1976 copy of a 59 Les Paul. I traded a junk car, blown up 1980 4cyl. mustang like 25 years ago.It has grover tuners and really nice hardware I love it.
when kirk uses the tele, then his sound isn' t so heavy because of the coils (emg or not). James always uses emg active humbuckers (and sometimes pafs) and mesa boogie amp for metal/ Roland twang amp for clean (with neck pickup). James also uses different distortion or metal pedal, add the downpicking technique, and then you have a heavy clean and metal sound.
Man, say wathever you. But this album kills. It is by far one of my favourites. Kill 'em all is great, master of puppets is the master, but Death Magnetic just became the best for me. They changed their tone and all that but for me its better now. Just an opinion. Keep on recording Metallica you're doing great :)
That's true for when Kirk uses the Tele, but he doesn't use one live. He uses it in the studio where it can be mixed into the song. When he plays live, it's with EMG 81/81, or 81/60 for clean parts with Hetfield, and a shit tone of overdrive through Randall heads.
Kirk uses the same EMG's that Hetfield does. I don't really know why Hetfield's sound is bigger, but I think it has to do with the fact that Kirk does really use a huge sound until he needs to solo. I could be wrong though. But Kirk does use the same pups.

Because it's different and different equals bad… but so does writing the same stuff all the time… fuck, you just can't win bro.
Amen
They’re incredible musicians.

"It's always the diggidiggi's after the daladaada."
~James Hetfield
James Hetfield, the human metronome.
The greatest rhythm guitarist in metal.
2:45 ... this is thrash
@7:24 James, "Let's simplify it."
Producer, "Okay you want me to leave the bass out?"
James, "No."
LOL the irony
Jason Newstead where are you
Austin Mitchell I think by simplify he meant the guitar phrasing
0:38 James using Kirk's guitar.
SOOOOOOOO WEIRD
Mind fuck
How in the hell does one remember all of their own songs??? I am blown away with how musicians have that ability.

the man has a golden touch. you cant teach what he has
7:48 💯 That headstock is so cool. 🏁🏁🏁
love the sound of the Gibson V on "Gymbag". Just classic thrash
colin poitras right?!?! its cool because that's the actual v he used to record all of his parts on kill em all' the headstock snapped and he just didn't have much use for it at the time.
It's probably "Electra" but James owns 3 replicas of this guitar from ESP. This guitar is definitely not a Gibson.
Love it at 7:50 when hetfield plays his guitar from binge&purge. EET FUK it says haha.
+MR TKAY that's his old guitar he used to play on tour in the 80s
Both Kirk and James are badass 😆😀😎
The laugh and look at 7:58, priceless :D
Who else noticed that miniature copy of James gray guitar that is in the middle of James and Kirk just standing there on the counter of 3:10 ?
3:07 - How that feel?
- M'kay... I JUST CAME BACK FROM HELL!!
2:45 the judas kiss chorus one of the sickest riffs of the hole album \m/
Saying that Kirk sucks won't make you famous.
Try to play and be famous like Kirk, then you can talk about how good you are as a guitarist.
OMG finally someone rational , thank you for being honest . #RESPECT
But.....my feelings!!!!
hetfield has the most beautiful guitars in all rock history. I would die for one of them...
He's a Killer and so powerfull, that no word can explain it the right way. Godlike!!!
1:54 I love that riff it speaks to me and I love its sorta groove and melancholy.
7:52 IS JAMES USING HIS ORIGINAL 'EET FUCK' GUITAR FROM THE AJFA TOUR??
Amoeba Rider Yeah!!!!
I hope their in the studio right now doing this for a new album!!
I think yes.
They will be on Aerodrome Festival in Prague ( Czech Republic ) and they promised to us, that they will play as the last song, some new song!
So.. I think the new album is near!
Thwy will enter in studios in spring so it's near :D
they're
wait... so does that mean James was the one who wrote the Suicide and Redemption solo? That's pretty beast lol...!
spikezkid022 he plays the first solo.
6:03, James is saying in his head, "Dude, stfu!"
3:08 "How'd that feel?" - "Ok..." Awesome
It's because it's the working title they used when they made the songs (also some lyrics and singing-rhythms were changed on the official release)
Greatest rock/metal band ever. Hetfield one of the greatest song writers ever!
LOL
The riff master!
2:47 That Flying V is older than most of the people watching this video, including me. He used that way back in the early days of Metallica.
2:46
¿Original Kill Em All era Flying V?
+Mike De la Fuente yes
+Mike De la Fuente Yeah for this album he restored it and put in an 81/85 (or maybe even a 60) combo.
Fisrt to say, Awesome ^^ Love stuff like this!
6:56 its so beautiful *_* like a eargasm
3:18 - first time I see Kirk Hammett with Telecaster!
6:50, that clean tone, and the lick is just heavenly
around 5:40 to 7:55 they're working on my fav song. suicide and redemption. seriously love what they did with that song. it's even better live (from what i've seen on youtube)
oh and after watching this, my appreciation for death magnetic went up. I love how hard James and Lars work to make their music right.

This album should have been full blown quality... but it needs remastering! James' riffage never ceases
James loves those Gibsons. I can't afford the one I really want. I have a really old Ibenez 1976 copy of a 59 Les Paul. I traded a junk car, blown up 1980 4cyl. mustang like 25 years ago.It has grover tuners and really nice hardware I love it.
2:18 - 2:28 so, there are two James?
LOL, yea the way they cut that it looked like he walked from a room with James to a another room with James
I truly say that The Mummy guitar is looking quite good in james' hands:D
what kinda amp is it that james uses when hé is practicing? is that a mesa combo?
when kirk uses the tele, then his sound isn' t so heavy because of the coils (emg or not). James always uses emg active humbuckers (and sometimes pafs) and mesa boogie amp for metal/ Roland twang amp for clean (with neck pickup). James also uses different distortion or metal pedal, add the downpicking technique, and then you have a heavy clean and metal sound.
can all of you guys please answer this question for me if you guys say that lars sucks on the drums then why is he on the rock and roll hall of fame ?
Because Metallica as a band is in the rock and roll hall of fame
The clean Suicide bit james does sounds fucking beautiful
it's james' amplifier. he plays a diezel vh4. an awesome piece of win!
when hé is playing that thing that robert was doing ? is that on a roland :s? i thought a roland jc 120 was a clean amp?
Correct nice to see someone say what ive been saying for years :)
7:53 THE LEGENDARY "EET FUK" hahaha i love that guitar
Does anyone know what is meant with "German soup" at 0:25? Or was it the old title of Cyanide? :D
Demo version of Cyanide
1:52 That riff is not on the 'Death Magnetic' album, or am I wrong?
you're right, it's not on the album.
TheDarksoulx10000 It was supposed to be in Unforgiven 3, I like it a lot, a shame it didn't make it through :(
I
James is the Riff man.......All riffs of death magnetic written by him
Nice riff covers man! will you ever cover full songs?
Happy Birthday James!!
Love u Metallica,James Hetfield
0:23 awesome bass riff!!
it's from Suicide & Redemption, starts about 03.40. into the song :)
Man, say wathever you. But this album kills. It is by far one of my favourites. Kill 'em all is great, master of puppets is the master, but Death Magnetic just became the best for me. They changed their tone and all that but for me its better now. Just an opinion. Keep on recording Metallica you're doing great :)
I love death magnetic
Ive always wondered, Why does kirk use a tele when practicing but not on stage?
whats the song in the very begining that plays for like a second
All Nightmare Long
Great point. Makes sense now. Lol now time to start using my Strat to practice with my friends haha.
4:32-4:36 classic metallica! :) love it!
Thanks a lot!
He's also one of the best riff artists of all time.
That's true for when Kirk uses the Tele, but he doesn't use one live. He uses it in the studio where it can be mixed into the song. When he plays live, it's with EMG 81/81, or 81/60 for clean parts with Hetfield, and a shit tone of overdrive through Randall heads.
7:00 that was BEAUTIFUL , any one knows what song is this from or anything..
whats the song that james plays the solo at 8:00
Suicide and redemption in Death Magnetic ;)
what guitare is kirk playing at 5:03?!
8:00 whats the name of the song ?? Anyone?
Isnt this Beyond Magnetic. instead of Death Magnetic
2:46 - 3:07 .... Less known fact, but "James Hetfield" translates to " Badass Riffmaster" in ALL known languages!
@marianpanizzi It's the kinda-solo from 'Suicide And Redemption' ... their instrumental song on the album!
That's the receiver for the wireless guitar connection... probably.
What music 2:46??????? plssssssssssssssssssssssss T.T
Kirk uses the same EMG's that Hetfield does. I don't really know why Hetfield's sound is bigger, but I think it has to do with the fact that Kirk does really use a huge sound until he needs to solo. I could be wrong though. But Kirk does use the same pups.
@nbl23 That's because they're James's riffs :)
james is a legend!
That just helps proving my argument ;)
Lars lookin like a deranged nic cage
its simply cause kirk played more complex chords, james made a powerchord version out of that riff.
Best profession ever.
8:00 Does anybody know what song that is???
Whch song is that played in the end?
my apocalypse
5:29 name of song PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umm im 7 years too late... But it's "The Judas Kiss".
A song belongs to the 1:52 minute riff?
whats the first song that they play?
what's the song at 0:31 ?
is he changing now ? kirk using telecaster.. its hard to believe what i just seen
What is he playing at 8:02?
what song is at 7:58
wat is the song at 8:02?
qual o nome da musica 5:00
Thanks. :)
James hetfield is the real deal man!
Hetfield = the Riff Machine.
2:46 what is tha digi 003 rack doing there??? O.O
What is this song?
08:00
0:40 what song?
I know it's not a real V, it's an Epiphone, but he put the Gibson piece on it to make it seem like it's a real Gibson Flying V.
Probably his best sounding guitar of this video too.
Witch song, First song ??
