it’s funny;nobody likes, Lars,haha. I don’t know much about Metallica, but it is funny to see how this bombastic semi talented heavy-metal Pete Best is the source of universal derision.
Yes its out now and, look at Greeny there! Headstock got cracked, freaked Kirk out but it was all good, easy fix luckily. Everyone who's owned this guitar had the head damaged too! Now it is truly Kirk's. 😎🎸
@@neoneherefrom5836he’s right though? TTTSNB and Leper Messiah never get the attention they deserve when it comes to MoP. sometimes the “underrated guy” actually has a point LMAO
@@tommy_14 well he’s right that it’s underrated but IMO it’s deserved lol I do know some people get off on the slow and heavy chugalugahz dough hahahaha
@@prometheustv6558barred? you don’t need to bar it… for some reason Kirk always says that it’s dropped down to C#, but all the other members of the band say it’s been tuned to D standard. you can even tell there’s a difference in sound.
@@prometheustv6558 I have small hands and I don't bar it, just two strings with the index but little else. Does James bar it? We see here that Kirk does not.
Nah, I bet John enjoys this. Metallica was always an influence-DT covered all of Master of Puppets live. Stop trying to stir up drama where there is none
Kirk Hammett is a great guitar player, love you Kirk, Thank youbfor bringing your lovely guitar playing to the world!!! Love and Light to him. ✨️💕🌞😇🙂😍😊🤗😀
I’m 52 years old and *Master of Puppets* was played at every party I went to in HS. I lived in Arizona at the time and we used to party in the desert at a place we called the watering hole. We would park our cars in a circle and build a big fire in the center and whoever had the loudest stereo would play the music. Such great memories.
You only get simplicity with hard work. It's always easier to flood music (or any form of art) with tons of information. But the wisdom to cut the excess and select what is the essential always demands hard work
Man, perfectly said!! I'm a drummer in the underground metal community, and we're always compared to the top drummers like Jordison, Lombardo, or Portnoy, etc. Unless you can do what they can do you're not really considered good. I just don't believe that. It does take a lot of hard work to find something simple but effective for the song!! I'm happy with what I do, and I'm not in it to compete.
Kirk has a great speaking voice. It reminds me of a community college English teacher still in his first two years of teaching before the soul crushing reality of the endless cycle of meaningless hits him.
I would give anything to just hangout with kirk like this. His solos are the reason i play guitar, and years later i still favor his playing style over everyone else.
He is so right and ive said it a bunch of times on here the most difficult stuff to write is the simplest yet crushing melodic melodies. So many people can write all these fast busy complicated filler stuff but cant and wont be able to write simple basic riffs like what Kirk has managed.
I had another professional player tell me the same exact thing. It was a 300lb Kiwi. That guy was the best player I've ever seen. That was thirty years ago. he was left handed. He would play my guitar upside down, rhythm and lead simultaneously. While singing and tapping a tambourine with his foot. Man he was a great player.
Simplicity always wins in my book. I love Meshuggah and other complex and notey bands, but I always find myself gravitating towards the Steve-Cropper-style simple players. The song matters more than the wanking imo
Yep, simplicity doesnt necessarily mean being sloppy or poorly made. Dime could do simple and brilliant riffs, though he was also brilliant in doing highly technical beautiful lead , dude was a genius on both ends
He's sooooo right there. Too many of the new youtube era guitarists think complicated ,hyper is better than simple. The longer you listen to music the more you appreciate the trully simple but cleanly played stuff. The busy unecessary is impressive for a quick short maybe but sorry I can listen to it when I need to slap an album on!
People seem to forget how awesome Kirk is at writing music. He keeps the riff simple, the solo a bit more complex (but not too much) and changes speeds when necessary.
If anything, it’s his new teeth and probably a little bit of speed. I don’t think he drinks anymore. He’s been playing in E minor with a wah pedal for 40 years and is still coming up with new stuff. That’s pretty impressive
I totally believe Kirk because he was there when they wrote and recorded this album, but I always thought this song was in D Standard because it sounds like it on the album, not C#. Does it have something to do with the recording technology back then raising the pitch?
To live is to die is a badass song and will always be one of my favorites and there isn't even any words just such good music back then with them I miss it...
I don't think that's causing the confusion (Yes its totally dropped D cause that's how I play it, and when the MoP guitar book with tablature came out it reads: alternate tuning, low E to D but only on this song) Anyhow I was saying it was released in 85, Almost 40 years ago. If Kirk could remember the alternate tuning of 1 song at his age, he is doing better than I would be. Old agesucks it takes your memories and leaves you wondering and questioning everything. don't ever get old ✌️☮️
@@jaymzb.1713 It's standard, not drop. Watch live footage and how they play the power chords; there is NO single-finger power chords to be seen in the main riff or the riff Kirk demonstrates (which James would have taught him, because this was the time when he was breathing down Kirk's neck for parts he was to play)
That begging is so wholesome. The look at Rick then saying "this is my favorite riff " Rick's "I love this". Just like two kids talking about their favorite music back in the day.
@@digitaljanusI agree Not dead which eternal lie, stranger æons death may die. Drain you of your san-ni-ty, face The Thing That Should Not Be! "In madness you dwell!"
@@user-ov2mx9rf9cman always gotta compare . you could argue sad but true is even better but fuck that. I love both. I saw them last night and was INTO sad but true . Great setlist
Makes me wonder what Kirk would say about how Band Maid writes their songs. They have a great rhythm section with MISA and Miku....but Kanami is CONSTANTLY noodling around on lead underneath the rhythm parts....and it is also super effective. :)
I love just how each guest brings a bit of their worldview with them. Considering how awesome say McLaughlin is, you can't say this or that approach is right. But what you can and should say is, this is how they made it work for them. At the core, these interviews allow some of the most iconic and influential people in the business to plant seeds on us the viewers. Its up to us now, to make some of them bear fruit.
Definitely looking forward to seeing this, Kirk always seems so happy whenever he does interviews so this is gonna be awesome and I do agree that’s one of Metallica’s coolest riffs. So fucking epic
He's not wrong. My experience with Kirk was always very positive. My band shared a practice space with Metallica while they were working on Master of Puppets. He was always a really nice guy.
I love these!! These are priceless. Just to see that Kirk is an amazing talent, but I love hearing the human side of him. I can't wait for the full interview. He has the same daily thoughts as so many of us. It's inspiring for me. I can only imagine me 40 years ago watching interviews like this. So many young musicians will benefit exponentially from interviews like this! Keep up the great work, Rick!! ❤🤘💯🎸
Kirk being able to speak and be himself without Lars chiming in 😊
Lol. So true
it’s funny;nobody likes, Lars,haha. I don’t know much about Metallica, but it is funny to see how this bombastic semi talented heavy-metal Pete Best is the source of universal derision.
Hammett seems like the most modest and pleasant person in the band.
A buddy at work who wouldn't know Metallica from Baby Metal- sent me several anti-Lars memes last week.
None failed to bring forth a chuckle.
@@peterdefrankrijkerI always felt this way too. Trujillo too, looks like a nice guy.
You can see how relaxed and happy Kirk is in this "interview"... more like a conversation. Nice going Rick!
Him and finn mckenty are the best at this for sure ❤
Rick "interviewed" Maynard, who is notoriously hard to interview. It was, like you say, a conversation, and he brought out the best in him
Is kirk wearing gold shoes😮
That’s because it’s not an interview. Rick doesn’t interview these people, he talks to them…like having a conversation 😳!!
@@glennoc8585. Better than gold teeth!
For how successful Metallica is, Kirk seems like a really laid back guy. Even in Some kind of Monster he was laid back, chill, shy guy playing guitar.
He’s a simple man. He likes his weed, wants to play guitar and collect horror memorabilia
Kirk seemed like the kid going through his parents divorce in Some Kind of Monster
He is probably still in a state of disbelief that he is worth $100 million by being one of the worst lead guitar players in the world.
@@guthrie_1Cheer up, big guy.
@@William.Driscoll alright then…
Stop teasing me and release this interview already 😭
A day later and im still saying that 😭 I can't wait!
This right here.
It’s out!!!

Now it is truly Kirk's. 😎🎸
Honestly The Thing That Should Not Be is pretty underrated.
Always has been.
And there’s “underrated” guy…
I really want to hear this and Disposable Heroes the next time I go see them.

In maaaaadness, Uuuuuuuuu dwellllll
One of my favorite all time songs. Such a heavy and catchy song.
Followed by one of the most hauntingly wicked solos ever 🤘
Is this song Cthulu inspired?
Love that song! And Kirk always comes across as a super chill and nice guy.
Dude is a cowboy rides horses has a ranch and everything. Has always been in my top 10 of best lead guitarists ever!
That guitar solo for that song is one of a kind! Amazing!
Simple and basic riffs = good and effective riffs
The riff it self is also harder than it sounds because u have to make sure it’s barred correctly
@@prometheustv6558it's not hard
@@prometheustv6558barred? you don’t need to bar it… for some reason Kirk always says that it’s dropped down to C#, but all the other members of the band say it’s been tuned to D standard. you can even tell there’s a difference in sound.

That guitar he really takes everywhere . Love this song 🤘🖤🤘
If I had that particular guitar.. I wouldn’t let it out if my sight!
If that is the Gary Moore one its almost magical
@@Napoleonwilson1973 Yup, that's Greenie
Yeah, that makes sense. You know how special that guitar is, right?
Greeny, after Peter Green. R.I.P.
A living legend. The boys were my inspiration to pick up a guitar at 16. Haven’t stopped playing since.
John Pettruci has left the chat.
I was about to say something similar
“John Petrucci literally smashed his laptop after reading this”
John Petrucci has 10% the payday.
Nah, I bet John enjoys this. Metallica was always an influence-DT covered all of Master of Puppets live. Stop trying to stir up drama where there is none
Yeah, but who has the more memorable songs? We all know the answer.
@@Ravelle17 It's a joke, calm down.
Great song! The Primus cover is super authentic too - love them both.
interesting cover, never heard it before…primus did a really good job on that one
The primus cover was amazing
I could listen to him talk all day, he has a very soothing voice and pattern of speaking.
Kirk Hammett is a great guitar player, love you Kirk, Thank youbfor bringing your lovely guitar playing to the world!!! Love and Light to him. ✨️💕🌞😇🙂😍😊🤗😀
What a song, always loved it. Like he says, hyper effective, love the solo as well

@invisiblekid7374 well Saud brother, what's the name of your band? Got any videos here on RUclips??
True for cooking and acting, and I'm sure many other things that don't come to mind rn
Art is easy to make; good art is hard to make
Love him...can't wait for the full interview
The Thing That Not Should Be, one of my Metallica's all time favorite tracks. Amazing riff and Kirk guitar solo in there is also simple and powerful.
Glad you had Kirk on, not a big Metallica fan but appreciate their work and could listen to him talk all day what a cool dude
Of course he brought Greenie.
he carries it to bathroom as well ☺️
You don’t come at Beato without a Gibson
@@Augrills I would lol, Gibson is so overrated these days with QC issues
And this sums up Kirk’s style. Simple, effective and efficient. He’s a great lead guitarist and has many memorable pieces.
A good riff that’s “sticky” is important, regardless of how complicated it is or isn’t
Kirk has a great speaking voice. It reminds me of a community college English teacher still in his first two years of teaching before the soul crushing reality of the endless cycle of meaningless hits him.

Wait what?? How did I miss this??!!! Need to find this FAST!! 😅
It is so inspiring to come across humans who inspired and still inspires what a great honor it is to do what they love do8ng. Music , passion
That guitar sleeps with him!😎😁
Iconic riff that does the damn job.
DragonForce, Lamb of god and DT just entered the interview.
Love that fuckin song…the breakdown into the solo..gets me everytime

I can never tell if he is drunk or not lol…
you do know there’s humble people like that in the world, right?
@@tommy_14I think he's referring to his speech patterns, slightly slurred.
Kirk has always sort of been akward / weird in interviews. My guess even though he is world famous, he is a shy guy.
If anything, it’s his new teeth and probably a little bit of speed. I don’t think he drinks anymore. He’s been playing in E minor with a wah pedal for 40 years and is still coming up with new stuff. That’s pretty impressive
Just because he's shy and stammers sometimes doesn't necessarily mean he is drunk or high. People are so hard on him.
“Face the thing that should not be” one of my faves 👏👏👏❤
I totally believe Kirk because he was there when they wrote and recorded this album, but I always thought this song was in D Standard because it sounds like it on the album, not C#.
Does it have something to do with the recording technology back then raising the pitch?
Man I am so looking forward to this. Kirk is probably one of the most underrated guitar players of all time and he is my all time favourite musician
when are you posting the whole interview!!!???
People starting out learning guitar need to hear this.
Can NOT WAIT!!! 💀🎶🎉
To live is to die is a badass song and will always be one of my favorites and there isn't even any words just such good music back then with them I miss it...
Someone gonna tell him it's tuned to D, not C#? 😁
(Yes, I know he's likely getting mixed up with how they tune live)

He goes on to mention that’s what it was written in. so was shortest straw . Not what it was recorded in
Maybe he meant that it was originally written in c#
My favorite too and my number 1 favorite song I love hearing the most.
I really can't wait for this.
If you can’t..just don’t do it!😂
This. One of my favorite riffs is Eye of the Beholder which is super simple but its so powerful
He always refers to it being in C# when actually on the album it's in D.
That begging is so wholesome. The look at Rick then saying "this is my favorite riff " Rick's "I love this". Just like two kids talking about their favorite music back in the day.
Kirk has dedicated his life to having bad takes online
That song is ONE of my faves too.
Best track from MOP
Extremely top tier Metallica track for me. Of all Kirk's solos, this might be the one that best captures the theme of the song.
@@digitaljanusI agree
Not dead which eternal lie, stranger æons death may die.
Drain you of your san-ni-ty,

This was so good, I remember 35yrs ago reading the Master tab book , and the book talked about how important that riff was
Kirk looks like whoopi Goldberg....
Well so do I so wtf.....
That Riff was SUPER EFFECTIVE
That track is quite amazing! It's what Sad But True was missing.

Very good summary of Kirk’s playing
Is that Greenie?
Yes he never lets it get farther than 10 feet away from him
No, it's blueie. The lesser known Chibson.
Simple is always the winner !!
Just awesome guys keep it up .
Wait it's in C#? I always thought it was in D standard.
It is D, he's likely mixed up with them playing everything a half step down live 👍
@@Hoscitt Oh yeah, that makes sense
I thought it was in drop D lol
Nice to see Greenie out and still making music.
That song got me interested in H.P. Lovecraft.
I have never heard that riff naked like that. Awesome! Sounds different than I thought
he's basically explaining the difference between Metallica and Megadeth
Besides Eddie and slash, this man is becoming one of my favorite guitarist.
Funny how Kirk is talking about “progressive stuff that gets to the point”,
And “not playing unnecessary notes”. Funny
I love the way he speaks about being effective while being simple. It seems all so effortless and possible for everybody tò do
Why did he say “no” to all his own solos?
Simplicity never fails to be effective...
Makes me wonder what Kirk would say about how Band Maid writes their songs. They have a great rhythm section with MISA and Miku....but Kanami is CONSTANTLY noodling around on lead underneath the rhythm parts....and it is also super effective. :)
Hey Kirk, that's one of my favorite riffs too. For almost 40 years now.
🤘🧙♂️🤘
This song has got me in the zone for many morning training swims, no matter how early or how miserable it was outside
Kurt, my brother and I learned nearly every riff from the first four albums. Killer interview, Mr. Beato!
❤❤❤ love that song
I listened to this album daily for years while in lockup 🤘
Kirk is an absolute 💯% Legend❗️
I wonder if Kirk gets into discussing his solo for The Thing That Should Not Be. That’s one of his coolest solos.
I love just how each guest brings a bit of their worldview with them. Considering how awesome say McLaughlin is, you can't say this or that approach is right. But what you can and should say is, this is how they made it work for them.

Mr. Hammett was my favorite student when I was teaching guitar lessons.
OK Mr Satriani.
i heard this back in 86 snd seeing this now is mind blowing
Its one of my faves as well. Love the crunch
One of my favorite songs!
This simple "Chug chug" riffs are the best. Like Pantera's "Domination" about 2/3 of the way through: Stink face, head banging stuff.
Reminds me of the dialogue from the movie Amadeus: "too many notes" 😅
He's right. Super simple and suuuper effective
kirk really showing if youre an 80s rocker and you still have your hair you eventually adopt a scarff look, love it lol
He's not wrong. My experience with Kirk was always very positive. My band shared a practice space with Metallica while they were working on Master of Puppets. He was always a really nice guy.
