KIRK HAMMETT TRYING TO PLAY LIKE YNGWIE MALMSTEEN  

not even close, if anything he sounds like bucket head on crack

😆😆😆

He is his favorite wife.

that look means "Hey James, was it good to trade Kirk for Dave"

James is clearly the Alpha and Lars his puppy dog…

No james,no metallica.lars had the idea,not the abilities

They are best friends

Rising force cd ! That's Killer guitar playing

@@hoshangharis6428 Mind blowing for it's day 💯

@@christineayres7199 for me still mindboggling. I still study it and try to take things from his guitar playing . Specially on LP

@@hoshangharis6428 Yeah always something to learn but for me Jason Becker was the master of Fast Guitar 🎸 playing he was revolutionary

Its called economy picking Kirk. And no, Yngwie does sweeps very often.

He actually said "See you in Tokyo bitc$, but was edited. You might already know but it was a reference to the infamous Yngwie airline flight recording when a woman poured a glass of water on him lol. It's funny that James know about that hilarious audio.

​​@@back2vinyl493I can't remember exactly when it was but there was an old Guitar for the Practicing Musician issue where they interviewed Yngwie and gave him a blind listening test or various guitarists in which he was basically roasting them all. I specifically remember Satriani and then when they told him it was Joe, Yngwie walked it back a bit saying he's normally fantastic. I seem to recall them showing him Kirk as well though and he ripped him apart, so I wouldn't be surprised if the band members know that as well. I'm pretty sure when Rolling Stone magazine did their top 100 guitarists of all time they listed Kirk above Yngwie, which was ludicrous, but they also listed Kirk above Joe Satriani which was the biggest wtf bullshit ever considering he was Kirk's teacher and is objectively better not even an argument. 😂

@budgiecat9039 Ya, had no filter. I remember he did an interview in Guitar School magazine and they asked him what he thought of rap music to wich he replied "That stuff is rock bottom sh*t!". 🤣

@@back2vinyl493 I think like Mustaine, Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols, Yngwie Malmsteen, and my irate Iranian Karate Sensei that once beat me up in class for an entire hour when I was 16 because he was pissed off and had to take it out on someone has mellowed out more with age. I think Gene Simmons is getting the opposite though 🤣

​​@@back2vinyl493 He was telling the truth! Rap and Hip hop is rock Bottom S#@t! 🤢🤮 it is not "Music" at all.

Hahahahahahahahaha🤣🤣🤣

Most amazing is that he only used downstrokes 😂😂😂😂😂😂

And eat donuts

His guitar playing has become dull, repetitive live and on CD 😅(the man has a lot of great tunes, riffs, melodies, classical chord progressions and he deserves credit for his influence on european power metal guitar playing and metal in general. EVH did that for hard rock but when it comes to metal YJM is a major influence imo) His last enjoyable album to me was "Perpetual Flame" (I'm fond of his early classical guitar playing. Of course he is not a John Williams or Vicente Amigo kind of guitarist but you can tell he was devoted to the instrument) Cheers

@@jilly9437 No... donuts...!

I remember when i first started playing guitar i was 13 i walked into a record store with my mom and they would have guitar tab books as well. I bought Trilogy shit album and tab book blindly mainly because the cover of the album had him holding his guitar on a cliffside against what looked like the dragon Tiamat from Dungeons & Dragons (even though i was never into D&D) so yeah bought it sight unseen and he became one of my influences even before EVH, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Metallica lol

If so, I am an atheist.

There is troggs tier fight footage captured in these rehearsal vids. Probably will never see the light of dday unless someone close to the band leaks it

Kirk and Lars really enjoyed it in the 90s 😂😂.. Little tongue here and there remember that? 😅

Yep. I didn’t see Kirk try to play like Yngwie at all. Not impressed at these video titles

Exactly. To me this stuff just feels like click bait trying to give fans the impression that Metallica can’t play anymore. So they pretended that Hammett was trying to play like Malmsteen to get guitar snobs to piss their pants laughing at Kirk because Malmsteen once said he wasn’t very good.

​@@MusicissuperiorEVHROX316well Yngwie was right albeit it snobbish 😂

Yngwie didn't consider top three string arpeggios as true sweeps. Thats why he said that. He certainly never did any of those huge sweeps the Shrapnel guys or Drank Gambale were doing.

They did play it love

*live

@@raneshmaurya Kirk's solo to that cover was terrible... As usual 😅

As much as Europe sucks John Norum can play.

Would you like to come to my house for a poached egg on toast?

@@asensibleyoungman2978 where did you learn English, Dr.Souse!? Come to my land for green eggs and ham

No dude. Listen to the entire albums not just two songs. Yngwie has a way richer discography than Metallica

@@ManowarMasino I don't disagree with you and one of my favorites is Battle Hymn recognizing your name Manowar!

@@bluefrost6687 Manowar! Born, to Live, Forevemore! Right, to Conquer, EVERY SHORE!!!

Ever seen that picture of him and Lars kissing? That’s makes a man fine to you?🤮🤣

He mixes it. Its not full on legato like Satriani, Holdsworth or Reb Beach from Winger.

@budgiecat9039 yeah I know

bla bla bla.

😂😂😂😂​@@sadsadasdsadasdsadas

Kirk could care less, hes more famous.

No one can

@@Skull7727 maybe, but their better musicians than he.

master of puppets, and justice for all, ride the Lightning > rust in peace

st anger > super collider

load > risk

@@TiayolandaofficialVEVO Many songs from those disks had Mustain's compossitions and the other real musician, Burton

Master Of Puppets is far better than Rust In Peace

James was just being plain goofy,,, its so obvious…

Hey geometry dash Im geometry dash

You know for years i always thought 'wow how does Kirk sound like Mustaine in solos but not as good,', then i found out he was actually just using Mustaines solos from early on. He then just kinda acquired that aggressive style of playing (Zakk Wylde is another one) but then once he learned what a wah wah pedal was he got progressively worse. Shoulda kept getting more Satriani lessons

You’re right, Yngwie is a virtuoso monster guitarist. Anyone knows that…but I’d rather listen to Kirk any day. Kirk has great feel and Yngwie is sterile. To make a more relatable comparison, Mustaine is better technically than Kirk too, but same thing. Being a technical wiz doesn’t mean shit…Unless you’re Steve Morse who would smoke both of them and everyone else too.

Also I doubt Kirk wishes anything lol. He’s worth like 200 million. Yngwie is worth 5.

​@@dalstar925Yngwie has more feel than modern Kirk that's for sure, 80s Kirk... Don't know

Well I’m sure even Kirk knows that, but the riff is where it’s at. I can’t off the top of my head remember any Yngvie riffs but know all of Metallica’s

@@kevinfry7127 well do you listen to more Metallica or Yngwie

Jason Becker Paul Gilbert Greg Howe Vinnie Moore Ritchie Kotzen Maybe Steve Morse and Uli Jon Roth

Exactly The Final Countdown. Europe.

​@@katekrylov that sounds like what james is playing but kirk is doing a mini shred in the opening

@@rarebear6889 yes, I think you are right. Funny how Rob calls it Roxette.

Its sarcasm. Its from an old interview

You're thoroughly uninformed.

Yngwie doesnt own Ferraris? Thats funny because he does

@@budgiecat9039 he owns like what 3 ?4? Kirk prob has a fleet of 15 -20

@@sinnerboy6009 prove it

@@budgiecat9039 prove what bro ? Just check Kirk and yngwies net worth on google

I think its mixed. Its sarcasm plus respect

Rob for sure but 80's kirk definitely can 😎🤘

​@@DarkKastle13nah

I'd say five. I dont what he learned from Satriani but it clearly wasnt much. Vai had more training plus the influence of Frank Zappa Kirk was using Dave Mustaine's solos and didnt grow much out of that. George Lynch even after hitting it big, still took lessons. Thats why i respect him.

I've seen it so many times, players devote their lives trying to nail down this type of technique, to the detriment of other areas of their playing. It becomes a soulless exercise of muscle memory and a fidget toy. It's quite sad really. I went down this road myself, foolishly thinking that if I could master technique I'd be able to play anything. Then you hear someone like Robben Ford, and realise you're still a beginner.
