And Justice For Kirk Solo Medley

[@mgrocki]

Justice's solos are no joke. Easily kirk's best work. Great covers man!

[@t.8584]

@Biliary Clinton nonsense, he played loads of those solos live and back in the day Kirk did know loads of guitar techniques to use...

[@janugur2241]

@@t.8584 He's actually right in a way. Now in the techniques that Kirk used the most (most being the key word here), he was an absolute master but he never tended to get out of there but this album is him at his best in my opinion.

[@mgg4142]

I guess he didnt lose his cellphone back then.

[@Dewitt-b8n]

@Biliary Clinton Moron

[@A_Final_Hit]

I think it's because it's the last time Kirk fully composed his solos before recording them for the album. From the Black Album onwards, he began improvising and just playing whatever felt right in that moment.

[@maxlu9373]

Many people think kirk is overrated, but this proves that he isn’t

[@jules1553]

At one point he was the metal guitar king, can’t say he really is that much of one anymore

[@Francisco17Berrios]

I'm pretty sure if kirk died instead of cliff people would be saying that kirk was the best guitarrist in the world.

[@7James77]

He's overrated now because he's made all his money and doesn't care anymore, imo. He slapped a wah on his rig and you can't hear anything he does anymore because it's masked by that wah. He uses the wah so much that I refuse to ever play with one because it just annoys me to hear one now.

[@Francisco17Berrios]

@@7James77 Actually he still has his mojo and doesn't need to hide his mistakes. But, he wrote a lot of bad solos on their last album, and maybe is tired of Metallica.

[@frankusyoung4198]

I just read some news about Kirk saying that his ideas are held back by the "tone police" (Lars and James?) And that he can play other styles but he can't show it in Metallica

[@charrua18]

I know kirk can sound sloppy sometimes, but those solos especially the first 5 albums are brilliant.

[@israppleraglobalistgroup2270]

Fans and older fans should be greatful Metallica is still active they could have easily retire atleast 15 years ago

[@ICoDaI]

I've always had a soft spot for the ride the lightning solo

[@default-126]

And all this in one take? Amazing! Never heard it sound better!

[@mrgrzybek92]

This video proves that Dyers Eve is the hardest Kirk's masterpiece.

[@TheSeraphim75]

I thought Shortest Straw was hardest.

[@larsulrich26ulrich42]

TheSeraphim75 no tech wise dyers eve hardest of him. Shortest is fun to play

[@burialofficial8913]

is metallica’s hardest masterpiece

[@luisangelrodasmaldonado9720]

The riff section after the sólo its another level.

[@NunYa953]

I'm impressed with this dude... especially because he never leaves that room...

The bird is a billionare entrepreneur who bought himself a guitarist pet.

[@privateemail7697]

yeah, his wife pushes his food under the door 😉

[@endoffate5475]

Kirk was such a sick solo player.. Insane just how good his solos really were.

[@anthonytsi]

I must say that you are amazing to even attempt to play the solos of AJFA back to back. Those were Kirk's best solos. As well, you really nailed them. I am envious of your skill, determination, and balls. I will be studying this video to learn how to play these solos. Thanks for the time you put in for this upload. Your video is now a link on my home page.

[@jsobo1015]

Kirk is a master. But you sir a master too. I meant to learn all this solos wasn't definitely a ease job.

[@daniel_3495]

How he play solo one after two and dont miss notes its impossibble

[@imdaman1868]

Practice and multiple takes.

[@BrevityBuzz]

@@daniel_3495 I mean the solos aren't as hard as they seem, especially the solo on one, when I wanted to learn it I thought it would take me a long while but it was actually not that hard. AJFA doesn't have solos that are too hard

[@mattyc8294]

@@BrevityBuzz agreed. One was actually one of the first Metallica solos I learnt

[@burialofficial8913]

there are a good amount of solos by him that sound very similar but there are some that sound very unique and off kinda with the other ones which i love, and who cares if some of his solos sound the same, he’s Kirk Hammet from Metallica, and give him some slack he’s in his 50s bruh like the rest of the goddamn band

[@edima]

this brings back memories of me playing that blackened solo. definitly some of kirks finest work.

[@willjones8029]

The frayed ends of sanity and shortest straw. Mostly the shortest straw. Holy shit. Those pinch harmonics and whammy bar sounded soooo good. Keep it up dude.

[@treacleeater]

Utterly biased, but having grown up buying these records on release day, the originality, the vision, the breath of fresh air that ripped through us 80s thrash kids like a tornado (not of souls ;)), I have not felt in a band since. The soloing is so unique (and, as ever, amazing recreated by LC678), perfectly fit with Hetfield's riffs, sonically sometimes fighting against the riff, but the note choices and the widely-widdly, followed by an almost tear inducing melody line, proves that KH deserves his place in the pantheon on great guitar players. ...AJFA is the sound of a guitar player confident in their ability and not afraid to show it. Class :) Thank you for your time to do this, I bloody love your channel!

[@LambChopper678]

Thank you mate, we’ll said and totally agree

[@LKHOF0510]

If your an 80s trash kid you should have felt that groove of dime putting out in the 90s. I respect both bands much. Awesome Medley!!! Great guitar playing 🤘⚡️

[@Glamosapien]

How can u call yourself thrash if you didn’t appreciate tornado of souls haha haha

[@tomsmith184]

@@Glamosapien I can’t see him not liking tornado of souls, just meant it wasn’t a tornado of souls they felt haha

[@tonymcnamara9368]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@ianroberts4981]

This brilliantly highlights Hammett’s skill. How did that album not win the Grammy?!!!

[@gagecee5129]

Because some drunk hating on metal gave it to Jethro Tull who in everyone's opinion is not even close to sounding like hard rock. ACDC and Iggy Pop should've at least got it that night. I think this was the first time Hard Rock\Metal got it's own category at the grammies and the producers wanted to make a mockery of the genre and gave it to a guy who plays the skin flute. But that's fine Metallica has alot more now.

Quality medley. Quality playing. Thankyou for sharing. To all the keyboard experts sat at home, who feel the need to thumbs down and remark regarding tempo...let's hear your rendition of these solo's. Yeah....thought not.

[@muhammadirsyazman8389]

The whole band is on their peak performance on that album.

[@tonymcnamara9368]

God I love AJFA! That album epitomizes the 80's thrash genre for me! We knew at that point, Metallica were destined for greatness, and ready to move to the next level! James's rhythm playing, Kirk's solos on this album were off the charts! Key changes, tempo changes this record has them in bucket loads! A brilliant rendition of solos!

[@TheAlexandre141]

The link between and justice for all and the eye of the beholder ;) Love it

[@cullen4847]

Kirk is a great guitarist in my book because he actually has soul in his solos (usually). He can be a bag-of-tricks sometimes, but he never really over-plays. Respect to him and, hopefully, James finds strength in himself as well.

[@chrissutphin8203]

Justice is the one album I would take over any other! Its impact on me as a teen was unlike any other.

[@axelanders9053]

The shortest straw solo is a masterpiece

[@darth_vyper]

I've been saying that for years, that and the Frayed solo

[@chrisbianco]

Kirk doesn’t even play the full thing anymore 🤘

[@codyhopp7490]

Parts of the shortest straw solo remind me of Eddie's techniques..

[@noirjakey]

Shortest straw is such an underrated song in the album too

[@thanepetroff4414]

You are amazing. It took me three months just to learn the intro to fade to Black. I hope to be half as good as you someday. Kirk Hemmet is one of the most talented lead guitar players ever. Great job.

I know every solo from that album

[@cptlatency428]

Absolutely incredible playing man, Kirk's solo writing on this album was on a new level. It's unfortunate because a lot of people criticize AJFA because of the practically no bass sound which definitely affects the album's overall sound, but the tone and playing of the guitar and drums is absolutely incredible, one of the best tones in Thrash I would say

[@Alex-vy1ll]

I choose to believe that you totally losing the beat in the "One" solo was a direct homage to 2019 Kirk, and i like it. Great work man.

[@misaenmundo9157]

He’s such a great player too so it’s a shame that the editing got fucked up

[@jo.burgos]

These 4 horsemen defined what Im looking for in a Metal album. They dialed in that perfect sound, Lars is a genius for turning the bas down so the drums and guitars float. The Bass may be low, but its shadow still packs a punch! Great compilation Man!!!

1 year later and I still get entertained asf

[@cradleofphill]

Just watching this again like total fan boy haha, my favorite album of all time, what a unique sound, it changed my life. You nailed that tone dude and you playing is f@#king awesome. I like how some of the solos are out of time just like they may have been played in a live situation. Love your Dimebag tributes as well 🤘😡🤘

[@darrenjhodgey4734]

Kirk hammett was a little sloppy , playing live only , however I did see Metallica live a few yrs ago in Adelaide Australia, and I shit you not , it was the best Metallica concert I've ever seen , I mean it was my 1st time seeing them live , but I have watched Metallica live on videos and especially the big 4 blu ray recorded in Sophia Bulgaria, and Metallica came on after slayers faultless performance, it's as tho metallica on this occasion, they tried too hard to play heavy and much to fast and it sounded terrible, I don't see why Metallica have always tried to play thier songs faster , but the Metallica I saw , was played exactly at the right tempo and pace as all of those original albums the produced.

[@mariogirard9664]

Always good to see you plays these covers after all the years past.

Bravo man. I was 11 years old when this album came out, and a year later I was in my room with a used Ibanez and the Justice tablature book, learning more for note. You did really good here. Especially for one take.

[@jamesschmidt3437]

@Steve O he literally said it was great overall... Never said he could do any better. Why is there always at least one moron like yourself to say that shit on every video?? He cant give the guy any constructive criticism or feedback? Stop being such a fucking snowflake dude, we don't live in a fucking fairy tale land where everyone is always 100% positive and nice all the fucking time. Jesus dude. And then has to throw in the outdated, super lame sexist remark saying "just like a woman to complain about something" what were you doing with your comment? Fucking complaining, about someone elses comment, just like a woman supposedly. Should we blow fucking smoke up the guy's ass that made the video then?? Of course not. Everyone that has watched his videos know how well he can play; he is a PHENOMENAL player. But with that being said, it doesnt mean he cant get some criticism. And no, someome doesn't have to post a video of "them doing it better" to be allowed to make a criticism. I play guitar myself, and I know damn well how good this man is at guitar. But it doesnt change the fact that he made some pretty blatant mistakes in regards to his tempo and timing multiple times through out the video. It seems as if he did it in one straight take, which is incredible to begin with. I think he is even capable of playing these solos 75-100% better if he really wanted to. But seriously dude, Jesus. Get the fuck over yourself. Find a fucking hobby rather than sitting on KZbin and commenting dumb ass fucking bullshit.

[@scottdelany7390]

Awesome job mate!!! Loved it. Kirk cops a lot of 💩 but back in the day has composed some kick ass solos i.e what you just demonstrated to us. He has also provided us with some of the all time great melodic solos with the intro solos in ‘One’ and ‘Fade to Black’ and the likes, which at sometime in all metal guitarists careers they learnt cause they bring you to your knees the first time you here them but, has also given us some genuine technical masterpieces too. Although James and Lars are credited with majority of the writing/arrangements of their songs everyone should be thankful Kirk Hammett has existed in MetallicA cause some of there anthems would not have the same substance without him.

Man oh man! This is brilliant! I can only dream of playing like you maybe in a hundred years! And doing it all together, I wonder how many takes you had to do. Nevertheless, excellent work! You've just got yourself a new subscriber here. AJFA is my favorite album. Yes, I know, many people talk about the bass (yeah, it's a shame) and Metallica themselves while talking about the Black album say that AJFA was their way to brag about how brilliant their skills were but even bore fans during concerts with long songs. But that is exactly why I love AJFA, the complexity and length of their songs. I mean I like classical music and one of my favorite pieces is the Allegro Maestoso movement from Mozart's Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola K.364. With nice rhythmic and melodic parts but also with solos. This movement lasts 13min. And other pieces last 9, 10min. So I was used to listening to long pieces of music. They keep you entertained so well that 10min pass by in a second. Again, excellent job here, hats off.
