Kirk Hammett of Metallica | Dean Delray's Let There Be Talk EP 513

[@hardlinemedia767]

I cant get enough of this interview. Dean, your also a legend, you need to be interviewed!!!

[@MRPERFECT_79]

KIRK IS EXTREMELY UNDERRATED. GREAT INTERVIEW

[@andrewtschuta2627]

He's influenced more people than he'll ever know so in a way not really.

[@paulotonedef]

It always amazes me when people say someone from one of the most successful bands in the history of the world is underrated. He’s won Guitarist of the Year in Guitar Player Magazine at least once. He plays to millions of people. Many would say he’s decidedly overrated. Not me, but there’s many.

[@F3502000]

Great interview! Lars and James are very fortunate that Kirk joined them. He brings a levelheaded attitude to them that I really believe is what kept this band together. Really enjoyed this Dean!

[@DesignerFromMars]

No one ever seems to be unhappy when talking to Dean on his Podcast. They must realize from the first words that this is not going to be your typical, boring let-me-ask-you-the-same-questions-you've-heard-a-million-times-before interview. It's NOT an interview these are actually conversations between two people that are passionate about all the subjects that are brought up. Whenever I see big names pop up on the LTBT podcast I'm mostly excited for Dean. He deserves it all. Thank you Dean for keeping this show alive.

[@jayjaytee9944]

Wow! Congrats Dean on an amazing Interview, You really got Kirk to open up about many things. Like two old friends catching up and reflecting on the glory days. Best Kirk Hammett interview I've ever heard ,well worth 2 and a half hours of my time. Thanks for this Dean.

[@blablabla2076]

I'm so jealous of all you cats that got to experience the California hard rock and metal scene in the 70's and 80's. What a great interview and stories. Kirk seems like a really great guy.

[@sasha6225]

What a great interview, I listened to it while decluttering my wardrobe and I just feel like you guys were in the room with me, just chatting!!!! I love listening to Kirk and this was just amazing, you brought the best out of him. Thank you!!

[@deandelray]

thank you

[@queticomoe4495]

That was the best Metallica interview I've ever listened to; incredible historical to present day memories! Thanks, Kirk "The Ripper" Hammett! I have so much respect for you and your band mates!

[@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine]

Great interview Kirk is a nice guy and the conversation is great to listen to.

[@eperl83]

Came here expecting the same interviews with KH I have heard for years and years but I must say this was so refreshing. Kind of had a Howard Stern type vibe in that it seemed like two guys just hanging out and chatting. Excellent job!

[@ethereal72]

Hey Dean. This is the best Metallica interview I've ever heard since I found about them in 1986. Thanks so much for taking us to that era and all of that depth and insight. Ripped to the tits man!

[@Bilderburger]

2nd Filipino on Thrash January! Congratulations on getting Kirk! He is a life long inspiration for me. Since I was a wee lad. Now I can shred also!

[@thomasbailey3511]

Are you serious when you say "since I was we lad"or just speaking with a faux Scottish accent?My family tree has Scottish roots "Vanlandingham"

[@Bilderburger]

Thomas Bailey sorry no. I am just a fan of the language and country! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I am a Filipino from California. USA

[@adamthirdbourne324]

Excellent interview. Thank you Dean. Thank you Kirk. Been a fan since I heard the EP's in '83/'84. And I was at that Day on The Green. I was in the upper deck and saw how the "grass fight" started. Greatest time to be a teenager

[@Priest974]

Thanx for the interview, Dean! Kirk is the Best guitarist in this fucking world and my favourite)

[@Bowiesdad531]

This podcast covers every damn thing I’m into. Awesome. Thank you!

[@deandelray]

thank you so much

[@tallica298]

One of the best Kirk, Metallica interviews I've heard in a long time. Hell yes!! Loved this!! 🤘🤘

[@enekoetxeandia906]

This was a very interesting and different interview. It was refreshing to hear Kirk talk about his life. Loved your Phil Rudd interview too, Dean. Subscribed!

[@deandelray]

thank you so much.

[@michaelfrazia4569]

this guy...how can't you not love kirk Hammett...dean you have a gift brother..you are the best interviewer of musicians that I have ever listened to. you are the GOAT

[@MrBelmontcain]

What a great interview, you asked kirk a lot of questions I would have as a long time metallica fan about guitars and technique, I love that! I always lose my mind when kirk or james get an interview and people ask them the same three things. This is probably the best kirk interview ever.

[@CristhianSerrano]

this podcast can go for 3 more hours...what a cool conversation, Dean is killing it man, cant wait to see who he will have next

[@elchamay]

Excellent, they are talking like old friends but with substantial info....is good to see kirk is so humble guy

[@stevietreats]

Awesome, insightful interview dude! Was great to hear Kirk cover all this stuff so in depth. 2 1/2 hours flew by.

[@JesseeSage]

Love when great musicians talk about great guitars. Great show!

[@claudialundy6313]

i love this podcast so much

[@kennorling5866]

Dude! Awesome interview! Bill Burr sent me your way for the interview (also awesome!) with Angus and Brian! This interview with Kirk really shows just what a quality human being he really is, thank you for bringing this podcast to the world! 🤘

[@masediggity]

Ohhh man this be a biiig one. Congrats, that's pretty damn cool.

[@Tomdawg89]

Awesome interview. Kirk sounds like a really good dude. Seen Metallica twice (2009, 2017) and they are one of the best bands ever.

[@version7144]

What a stellar conversation!! Really nuanced discussion and I'm glad you asked about live digital amp modelling at the end! Dean...you are on fire!!

[@666ssn666]

This is awesome. Some people shit on Kirk because he doesn't shred like Rusty Cooley but his love for the instrument on display in this podcast is very refreshing. Seems like a really cool guy. Great interview.

[@666ssn666]

@ndjfksnwvehsbdjckvkkfss What the fuck are you on about? I gave Kirk props.

[@666ssn666]

@ndjfksnwvehsbdjckvkkfss have a cry about it you weirdo

[@sk8taway]

Rusty Cooley 😂

[@666ssn666]

@@sk8taway he's good at guitar

[@timothydell9926]

Very good interview-At the end, the other thing I would like to have known was which tour had the loudest onstage volume.

[@bobbyberetta4206]

You f’n rock Dean! 🤘

[@kartikchandrasekhar4181]

I especially love when Kirk talks about how they wrote songs and the riffs they came up with! :D

[@image30p]

Good interview! It's cool that you two were able to connect.

[@brianwood7237]

Sooo cool Kirk finally gets to tell the real story how he got Greenie...saw Bob Rock on Gibson TV the other day speculating on it...super cool Dean.. Your interviewing skills are the reason all your guests love coming on your show

[@deandelray]

Thank You

Great interview

[@hadi141]

INCREDIBLE very epic going down memory lane man we are all so connected coming from the Bay Area Shoot I was in a band with you Dean for a minute though and the new century & papa mark and death angel wow great great interview I love the January specials

[@gushanmag]

You are the man Dean!!!!!!!

[@enriquegilmour]

Ray Burton lived a life most of the population of the world could only dream of having. And to make it to 94 was a bonus for him. Kirk is one of my favorite guitar players. He was a riff machine back in his prime.

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

How did you find this interview?

[@andjusticeforall3u.s564]

ThankYou Dean truely ....what a Treat!!! Kirk is more than in my Favorite Band!!!!! Kirk is The #1 Shredder, Kirk sparked my interest with his melodic allways unforgettable spine-tingling and euphoric drawls to every song he's graced with his Trade off scale spikes and smack a bitch whine he's acquired a signature which all Great electric guitarist demand but only Few obtain. I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!IM NOT WORTHY🎸🤘🎧🎶

[@marcelotulio]

That's awesome, Dean! Thanks for another great podcast. Congrats!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!

Keep Rocking Brazil

[@brianwood7237]

Thanks for reppin' the bay area thrash scene with the nicest guy...Kirk hamster! Good on ya Dean!

[@brianwhitley2065]

This is so cool you the man Dean. I cant believe you got to do this. Lets get Warren Haynes next lol. Love u man.

[@deandelray]

That would rock

[@DesignerFromMars]

Great job on the episode thumbnail visual. I like this new format and I believe it will attract more visitors.

[@blablabla2076]

@40:20 those collector types piss me off so much. Im glad that guy told him whats what.

[@onekennny]

Thanks for this it was so dope. I actually learned a few things about Metallica that I didn’t know already which is pretty crazy. I thought I knew every story. All of the stuff about Cliff was gold

[@Petesweeney]

Awesome podcast! Love kirk. Will there be any slayer members on the podcast in the future? Would love to see that 🤘🏼

[@deandelray]

Dave Lombardo has been on a few times

[@mariposamoreno]

kirk is my fav member and such a doll 🖤🖤

[@ShaulGold]

Once again masterful interview, showing respect, and the same time introspective. I know you want to interview Slash., but I think you need to interview Axl Rose. Also, your interviewing skill set are amazing. Not as easy as it looks.

[@deandelray]

Yes Axl is the dream guest for sure

[@Gueli]

Can´t wait to hear this!

[@omicron5529]

This man right here (Kirk) is the reason I play guitar. Without a doubt 100%. and AJFA is definitely Lars' best work. He had that bad ass White Tama drum set also to back it up.

[@BennieTarrMusic]

HELL YEAH SMOKE CRACK

[@RichardFriendartist]

one more request. Jim Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RichardFriendartist]

this is great Dean...been listening for a long time...glad to see you landing such amazing guests...totally well deserved. You and Kirk were awesome to listen to on this one....you should get Cedric B.back....he's dealing with some crazy shit. I'd be curious what the hell is going on with him.

[@incognitoguitars9999]

Always great Dean

[@sollybrown8217]

Great job by the interviewer

[@allsystemsgo8678]

A member of Metallica! Congratulations Dean! Great interview. He seemed to get very uptight anytime Jason was brought up, lol

[@jaytee3129]

Great interview! Such a shame this isn't a video!

[@hmpz36911]

The XXX shows were awesome. They reunited Sean and Brian, and brought Dave and Ron out.

[@startervisions]

fleetwood mac's member trajectory always reminded me of pink floyd's the eccentric eclectic leader leaves and the band goes on to be a pop sensation with new people

[@BennieTarrMusic]

Yes, same.

[@joshuabennett5891]

Dumb question.....the art work in the background, is that supposed to be Half Dome? If so, bad ass!

That flemming 4 week idea is genius

[@mattgibson1738]

If I could strum one chord on that guitar through a vintage plexi.....I could die a very happy man at that moment!

[@JamesDeWeaver]

What a tremendous interview, the time flew by and I was struck when Kirk spoke about how when they, Metallica, start an album and have really know idea what it will turn out as like the "Black Album" , it was basically created on the spot, VERY similar to what visual Artist do before they start a new piece, it's just created out of inspiration and experience. I have a very under-viewed Metallica video on my YT channel performing "Master of Puppets" w/ Cliff in the band still so check it out if your interested. Art should never be free, if Artists & Musician's don't get paid, they die totally destitute and have a horrible lonely existence until their last breath, trust me, I speak from decades of experience. Cheers Dean & Kirk for the upload and interview. #Peace

[@danielblake1537]

You should definitely check out MetFan4L on KZbin he has some amazing videos on his page on KZbin....I started watching his vids like a month ago and I watch them trying to watch every live concert some pro shot videos some are only the Soundboard Audio which sounds great with headphones on \m/ \m/

[@MrUltraworld]

He's so modest

[@shawnmcvey7789]

Please get: -Scott Gorham -Adrian Belew -Earl Slick

[@needham831]

The gallop came from Iron Maiden's first album and UFO's "Lights Out"....anyone who knows Metal knows that. Fuse it with Deep Purple's "Fireball" and Motorhead's "Overkill" and palm mute it and you get the Bay Area Chug. All inspired by England and Germany...never forget that we invented Heavy Metal as you know it.\m/

[@leehendrickson3030]

Kirk is so cool!

Tremenda

[@danielblake1537]

I've never understood the huge appeal to Les Paul's that much, but there must be something to them because most guitarists love them I know they're the like OG Grandfather of guitars next to Leo Fenders guitars

[@Online_ToughGuy]

Daniel Blake I was lucky enough to have been handed down a made in Japan 88 strat that is absolutely killer...so I’ve never felt the need the need to venture out and shop for a second guitar. I do understand the appeal of LP’s though...if you have smaller hands they are WAAAY easier to blast licks on than fenders are. The fret spacing and shorter neck is just a bit easier to get around on.

[@danielblake1537]

@@Online_ToughGuy yea that's true....which actually would work better for me in my case because I have smaller hands but I prefer strat body styles or SG and I love V's even tho they're a pain in the ass to sit down and play and I like James Hetfield's Gibson style guitars from ESP

[@BennieTarrMusic]

Fender is better in every conceivable way.

Now greeny is worth so much more because it's owned by one of my heros kirk Hammett

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

How did you find this interview

[@scardelaro]

1:11:00

[@ph5352]

Let go of Greeny, it's a rock n roll curse.

[@helliacband44]

Even when Metallica had different bass players starting with Cliff, Jason, then Rob. Kirk was always the one who was the closest to them. James and Lars I don’t think we’re close to those guys like Kirk was.

[@brianm2881]

It would be hard to imagine Metallica going back with Fleming Rasmussen and knocking out a classic album in 4 weeks. It's a nice idea, but as Lars said in his Q interview, there comes a point in your career where you just have to go into the studio and put the time in. It just seems like as you get further into your career, great songs and riffs become harder to come by, and you have to work harder to get to them. It's like drilling for oil in that regard. Also, I think Metallica have done a lot of attempting to reconnect with their earlier sound through the 2 most recent albums. I think the band's at their best when they make the record their fans weren't totally expecting and has a sound that is a departure.

[@RamonesFan201]

how the FUUUUCKK?!?!?!?

[@cripprocktony]

Dean, you'll get a huge kick out of this! (unless you've already seen it) it's Cliff and Jim Martin in the hayward battle of the bands! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGLUYa2Clr2Iq6c

Fuckin Metallicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@BennieTarrMusic]

[@RichardFriendartist]

man if you could get Lars for a 2 hour chat...that would be epic...or even Jason Newsted.

[@danielblake1537]

I'd want a Jason or James interview.....have you seen the interview with Jason talking in depth about why he left the band and how bad he was hurt by James not being able to let him play in any other side projects, but I forget Exactly who the interview was with but it was a more recent one and I thought one of the best interviews I've seen from Jason!!

[@BennieTarrMusic]

Jason did one. Lars would talk all day for free coke.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

That fixed bs Ufc fight was pathetic

[@Razrback]

Mustaine is alot more technical player love kirk though

[@deandelray]

not for me

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

I don’t think so. Kirk has more technique, mustaine has more creativity.

[@ZExperiences]

Great interview
