That Metal Show Kirk Hammett & Michael Schenker Behind The J

[@JonnySublime]

To all the losers being negative just appreciate something beautiful when you see it or show me a video of you playing with Michael Schenker.

Kirk was amazing in this interview. Totally no ego. Focused on Michael. True gentleman and 100% pure class

[@aaronkristo858]

Because he knows Michael is a superior guitar player.

[@aaronkristo858]

@@sydsnott5042 Hahahahaha. That is funny. Do you play guitar? I get if you are a Metallica fan and just love the songs more. Totally understandable. But ask any guitar player who is better and they will laugh because it isn't even close. Many of the world's finest guitar players list Michael Schenker as an influence. None of them list Kirk Hammett. In my opinion, Hetfield is and always has been the only real talent in Metallica. The rest of the members were just along for the ride.

Only ego in Metallica is Lars but he did some great things. That's part of their greatness.

Michael's tone guys, that tone and vibrato are out of this world!! A majestic sound with just three fingers, just a short jam and you're blown away! Kirk is such a genuine guy, I respect him as a guitar player even though I don't like him that much, but his huuuge smile when Michael starts to shred says everything... We feel it too Kirk!

Good job Kirk for coming up with a riff that is almost identical to natural thing written by the man standing a metre away from you

[@davidday8417]

I actually thought it was Natural Thing !! Sounded pretty damn tight to me !! Michael Schenker could play the phonebook backwards and it would kick ass !!

Schenker getting a second act that's arguably better than his first is a story that doesn't get talked about enough. I think we came *really* close to losing him.

[@theramblers69]

so so so cool, i just saw an interview just before where kirk is saying how much micheal shenker and rudoplh and uli roth and matthias jabs but espexially how important micheal is to him, and to see this after is awesome, ooh yeah kirk, it's awesome to see such happiness

[@guntherachterhof4876]

I like them both. It's raw and imperfect and unedited by God knows what software like they do nowadays.

[@JonnySublime]

If you were standing next to Michael Schenker and he had a guitar in his hands, the intelligent thing to do would be to play a rhythm and see what happens. Kirk took advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity.

[@user-bk8db7ud6k]

The first shit Schenker plays is God level. He's got that 16th note pentatonic stuff DOWN.

[@arvinsander6788]

Amazing to see them both. Great moment. I'm a chess player - we define the best players as grand masters. For me Michael is a grand master and Kirk is a good player. And I'm a fan of Kirk since 1983.

[@jeffmusgrave6467]

A legend and a legend to be on the guitars. Michael's heard that before it's a natural thing one of my favorite songs and then ripping off killer solos

[@andthebeatgoeson69]

When you're remind Kirk's soloing skills have diminished, but his right rhythm hand definitely has a life that Schenkers doesn't. Schenker is a beast tho. Great clip.

[@lifeisnice23]

Lmao, that's the difference between a natural born soloist and a guitarist that has studied to become also a soloist, Schenker is a chosen one, Kirk a good student .

[@cruachan1191]

It's very popular to bash Hammett, but his rhythm playing especially is very underrated. Lets be honest, the guy he has to match night after night is arguably the best rhythm guitarist around (Dave Mustaine always says Hetfield, himself, Rudolf Schenker and Malcolm Young are the greatest rhythm guitarists in rock/metal)

[@willsketchesmusic]

Kirk has always been the type of lead guitarist who composes his solos, he himself has said that improvisation is something that he has had to work long and hard on. I don't think that takes anything away from Kirk as a lead guitarist though, it's just he's better in the studio than in an impromptu jam.

[@basgerritsen9669]

I don't get how there is so much hate about people who critique kirk. It's pretty obvious that schenker can come up with something on the spot a lot better and he might have a stronger melodic sense. I do not like kriks work or style but the fact that he can't improvise that well doesn't make him bad. He clearly knew what he was doing back in the day and he is the type of musician who must think all his parts trough and write them piece by piece. Not bad necessarily just different. You might like his style you might not, those are just opinions. No need to defend anyone, also even if a toddler plays guitar better than you , you should still be allowed to dislike a guitarist. It's just a matter of taste and anyone should be free to express their opinion without getting ripped on, it's music, it's subjective. That said I still don't like kirks playing...

[@EujenSandu]

All what you've just said is about right, except the fact that you never mentioned technique. And the core thing in playing guitar is exactly that: training to do it right, training your hands to be synchronized, your fingers to move on the strings without dirt. And this is the exact thing that Kirk skipped completely, dedicating all his time to mashing and thrashing. A fan could call it "his style". A guitarist couldn't.

[@dragonpundit.6443]

It makes him a poor professional...one that can't read doesn't know theory has poor technique and is just good enough for Hatfield which is okay but he is a joke not a guitar hero.

[@47felix1]

Hammett plays the wrong notes 80% of the time. Nobody hates the poor guy. It's just embarrassing. He should finally learn to combine pentatonic scales with modes when soloing!

[@martyisabeliever]

[@capzisediam5845]

Which guitar Kirk is playing ?

[@jahjah67]

Love Kirk’s enthusiasm but it’s just not good playing. Schenker is one of the few players from the 70’s who is possibly better than he was then. One of THE greats. He also seems like a decent guy. Kirk seems like a super nice guy and I’m happy for him that he has had all his success. As a guitar player, he isn’t a very good improvisor and that’s forgivable because he has and does write really good parts. It‘a funny that Schenker is such a big influence on him. He didn’t cop Schenker’s great vibrato or his melodicism. I can’t really hear Schenker’s influence in Kirk’s playing but it is fun to watch the guy play with one of his hero’s. Life’s short. Rock on, Kirk

[@andthebeatgoeson69]

I think there was a time when Kirk could have "hung" with Schenker. Just goes to show you that you can't be high level if you don't practice, no matter who you are.

[@jahjah67]

And The Beat Goes On I really like Kirk’s playing the first 4 years of the band particularly RTL. I’m not sure if Kirk’s just not a very good improviser or if he needs to work out his solos. Since he “came up with” that rhythm, he should have been able to nail it but it just didn’t sound very good. I’m not a Kirk hater, he’s a solid player and has written some very cool stuff. Plus he seems like a very nice guy but I wish he’d put away the wah and practice playing through changes. Rock on, Kirk!

[@lifeisnice23]

Spot on dude, Schenker is a force of nature, a volcano of creativity, it's almost 50 years he plays like the God he is and still put out quality music once a year, his catalogue is infinite, I've lost the count! Kirk is a super nice guy but he's sleeping on the fortune of Metallica's first four albums, his creativity is mediocre and he's becoming sloppier and sloppier .. That's the difference between a real artist who breathes music and a worker of rock who lives thanks to the music...

[@thomasbrandt4816]

@@andthebeatgoeson69 ~ Kirk just doesn't have it in him to be great, no matter how much he practices.

[@tommurrayGTR]

@@thomasbrandt4816 He was great at one point, he just let it slip and getting back in shape may be beyond his interest. 83-00 is hard to argue with. He nailed his parts consistently. He isn't an improvisor, he wants to be! but he's not. There's really no point being mad at Kirk because he doesn't play like X and Y guitar players, he has style that he enjoys and from 83-00 I loved almost everything he did, from 2003 touring onwards he has let things slip, and Death Magnetic onwards have all had throwaway unmemorable solos... that's something fair to be disappointed about. I hope Kirk gets fired up enough on the next record and writes some good solos! He definitely has written some great ones! maybe James should be producing the solos with Kirk instead of Lars! might be a good start!
