2015 NYC Jam HAMMETT SCHENKER 

Was gonna say it ain’t exactly original That’s where I know it from…and loads more. Kirk looked star stuck and dumb struck

@@AVM-Music Yes! Star struck and dumb struck is right! 🤣😂👍🏼👊🏼🤘🏼🍻

@AVM-Music He always looks dumb-struck. :)

@@antesmolcic4354 that’s a fair point. Switches between dumbstruck and fearful child while his parents argue

“Hey! I took a basic blues and did this!!!”

No, just Kirk. Not hard really at this point. Mr Hammett is fried

Yea its less that and more that Kirk just shits all over his own progression. It doesnt make sense that hed be THAT unprepared playing over his own progression and jamming with one of his heroes.

Yah he is miles and miles above everyone but about 10 guys ever that's reality

And doesn't have the "ear" to realize he plays his solos in the wrong key.

Not really. Kirk Hammett is lead guitarist of the most famous Metal band in the world. Hardly anyone knows or Michael Schenker or UFO.

@@sagarsunar Yeah, but fame doesn't mean you're great, otherwise Ariana Grande or Billie Eillish are better musicians than Bethover or Mozart, Kirk is average at best, he has good moments but also terrible ones, in the 90's he was a shocking guitar player, messing up every time live.

Playing like shit does not = "humble". If anything he massively disrespected Schenker (who he has cited as a huge influence) by playing so poorly and amateurish with him.

@@blahzay_ But when he said _Michael you're incredible!_, he was perfectly spot-on. Of course the class difference was obvious (even the sound difference as soon as MS first touched his instrument) but at least the master / pupil relationship was respectfully kept up. Kirk behaved well and showed so much enthusiasm. Later on Michael invited Kirk to guest on the first track of Michael Schenker Fest's album Resurrection.

​@@blahzay_sure you cam play the fight fire with fire shitty solo

Clearly "jamming" is not a strong point for Kirk....not the first time I've seen him play an entire improvised solo in the wrong key....have to question his "ear" abilities.

Kirk just got lucky when he was offered to play lead , in a band that became huge .. due to the riffs from Hetfield . He's a decent lead guitarist , but not a great like Michael . And many other's . Just got lucky by fate

His playing is "sterile" and have seen him more than once play leads in the wroing key in an improvisational "jam" scenario.

@@sir60man70 what other examples do you know of?

lol kirk stole a schenker song to impress schenker with.

No shiet and Michael destroyed him instantly 😂😂😂😂😂

Thats cause Metallica has in the fine print of their contract that they shall rip off the whole world

My fave UFO song

Yeah for sure!

For real.

I've been playing shows and recording most of my life... that improv was smokin. They seem to be having a lot of fun which is the entire point of playing music live. The homage and respect to this extraordinary talent is way overdue in my humble opinion. However, and most importantly, Michael Shakers playing is unparalleled and he plays effortlessly off the cuff.. kiddos for the attempt to trade licks with the master.

If someone cant hear how shitty Kirks playing was either theyre tone deaf and their ears are shot, or they are too nice to admit it, possibly delusional

Sure but you can hear the difference in skill

they're not rough,they're judgemental jealous a-holes that never amounted to anything in life and like to feel better about themselves by putting someone else down

Same here. I just turned 60. Been playing since I was 14. I think when you've been playing that long sometimes you get bored and back off for a while. Then something makes you get fired up again.

58 here and Schenker is my major influence. It takes daily playing /practice to keep the chops. I'm still pretty limber except for a bit of arthritis in my thumb. It is what it is.

One Legend Michael Schenker... and one Legend only in his mind Kirk Hammett

Yeah I know, and yet some people belive Kirk is a great player... he is average at best.

Actually that so called chord progression is Kirk's attempt to play something that sounds like the UFO song " Natural Thing " . I'm not kidding, look it up.

Yea your basic 12 bar blues but with power chords, taking something thats already common and basic to something truly elementary

It's called playing in key...and after 40+ years Kirk is incapable! It's fucking mind blowing!

Absolutely

What do you think of The ones with Graham bonnet. I think they are on a par with barden ones. The rest of the singers Michael had just spoiled his music.

Nah

At least he practised beforehand, while Michael`s just improvising.

He should be embarrassed but being in the band he is they have developed the most incredible lack of self awareness ever witnessed in music.

Do you play electric guitar? He nailed the solos. Of course I prefer MS sound and his way of playing. Those Emg pickups sound horrible, zero mids. If he used michael's rig it would have been way different.

Not out the key, but he used A dorian.

Yeah he doesnt have a studio backing him up to fix his terrible playing... live performances paint the whole picture with flaws and all..

Kirk sure did

listen to "natural thing" by ufo, you'll see exactly where kirk stole it from, lol. unbelievable

LOL! i guess you didnt hear Kirk "play" over it

I did. I'm just referring to him talking the blues thing as a some kind of a safety grid. Sadly Kirk's still Kirk, though.

Hammetts soloing mostly in the key of E. That rhythm is in A.. Embarrassing.

Yeah he's letting us know he's a Luciferian on the side of evil not good. Most people in the industry have sold their souls to Satan for fame. I hope he repents before he dies or he will end up in Hell forever.

I like the Lemmy poster. At least one Rock`n`Roller in the show.

If he had an ounce of self awareness he should have been red faced embarrassed.

@@muriloninjayep. This video would’ve been cool if it was 1984-88 Kirk, back when he actually gave a damn about keeping his chops up. He sounds like a total amateur here, a shame 😢

Michaels was one of Randy Rhoads favorites as well

Then he shouldve practiced

Why clown ?

He knows it, MS is one of his idol’s.

Imagine how bad you would have looked lmfao

@@tommilitello198 lol, I'm a perfect Mr. Nobody in the guitar playing community , I don't have to show anyone anything...I'm not some called "metal guitar legend" that it seems has completely forgotten for decades how to play decently ...

Dont have to be a guitar "expert" to hear how shitty Kirks playing is here, it does take someone whos tone deaf if they CANT hear how bad his playing is though.

Nope, just people with functioning ears. Being an enabler and sycophant won’t get you anywhere.

@@blahzay_ and here you are

Me too!!

I was gonna say, it sounds alot like Natural Thing in the beginning part of that chord sequence. Of course, Kirk & James had V’s as their first guitars because of Michael. My guitar hero too…

@@chrisdumler5949 And Michael had it because of Rudolf and Rudolf because of Johnny Winter

@@jcmangan Yeah, but you know what. Nobody popularized the Flying V in R ‘n R like Michael. Not quite sure if Rudy got it from Johnny though.

@@chrisdumler5949 very sure. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wJJuilIlGqA.html
