Rock Talk with Kirk Hammett 

Kirk is such a cool dude man

"girls do rock, by the way" I LOVE THIS MAN

The lady in the beginning is trying so hard. My heart goes out to her.

*in the back of my head while they talk* Why, am I dying? Kill, have no fear Lie, live off lying Hell, hell is here Lyrics written by Kirk 🤘

Dirty little secret: kiss was considered a joke of a band for kids back in 75-78. I was there I remember.

What a down to earth multi Millionaire

I was PRAYING he would bust out the unforgiven solo lol

What an honor.. to have Kirk Hammett speak. I would love that in my life! 🙏🏼❤️

Any interview that Kirk Hammett is you got to love

Wow! Kirk used to study at Film School, just like Jim Morrison.

I could listen to Kirk talk all day! He's a busy man, yet takes time to do things like this, says alot about him.

He is a sweetheart.

The fact that someone of his stature takes to do this and donate his time and museum pieces shows the kinda man he is ....so humble

If only those kids knew the Living Metal God was in front of them...

i listen to metallics with my kids to make sure they know how great they are

Wish he had a wah pedal hooked up to his mic so he could wah his voice 😩😂

Nice session with an exceptional artist ! Every day his guitar playing allows me to escape to a better world and make me feel a little euphoric , for which I thank him very much ! He is also very honest, modes, positive and creative. These are features that I appreciate very much among world artists, especially as they are less and less common. Kirk, you are definitely one of the best guitarists in several generations. I wish you a lot of smile and further success ! I Love&Respect You ! :)

As a guitar player, I know maybe two scales, I do a lot with those but I know there are many more scales I can play and learn. It amazes me just how cool the electric 6 string guitar really is. It's not about fame or money, it's about being one with the instrument. You get there, you went somewhere special.

It was nice to hear Kirk take the high road when he talked about Yngwie considering the fact that Yngwie has said some NOT so nice things about Kirk. Kirk is a cool dude, I'm glad I watched this video, thanks for posting.

Hello Columbia Arts Academy, I have always been a big fan of Kirk Hammett! I enjoyed this 46 minutes very much. Thank you very much for uploading the video! With lovely greetings from germany

These kids doesn't know how lucky they are

As a Broke College student in 1991, I used to save my money and spend on food frugally just to buy my next metal cassette tape, like eat ramen endlessly...man those were the great old days, I remember the Black Album when it first came out and I hated it...grew on me eventually and IMO it's their best album ever

“Way cooler than the trumpet” ?!?! OMG Kirk!!

Kirk taught Gary Holt, nuff said

Love u kirk....my inspiration

Kirk would adore "Signal Music Studio" RU-vid channel. This channel is such an inspiration for songwriting.

Kirk is a Legend, the dude who wrote the Metallica song: Creeping Death

I do love that I got to catch the end of cd buying and flipping through the packet reading lyrics and everything.

I totally love Kirk.

amazing and so capitivating!

kirk is so wholesome and encouraging at the same time. getting cooler as he gets older.

Kirk You RULE 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Some dude heard I was learning guitar and gave me his entire collection of Power Play magazines, 2008 to 2020 every copy over 160 of them. I have spent the last few days immersed in the albums and artwork in there, I don't get to flip thru the sleeve but I am thankful to have RU-vid to just type in a random band and find some thing they've done. I am now on amazon ordering preowned and old Cds to build a collection before it's too late. I've always loved Metallica since my brother played me And Justice For All, first that eerie Blackened intro then Justice the track, going from that acoustic intro into heavy as hell riffing. That Made me pickup a guitar in the first place. I pretty much got hooked on those early albums and I found Pantera too. I was addicted to EVERYTHING Dimebag darrell has done, him, Kirk and James have been my teachers without knowing it. Now I have all these magazines to continue my education. I might subscribe to the mag and continue the collection then someday give it all to an aspiring young guitarist

Would have been awesome to see him jam thru that dual rec

Bro peace and love 💘

Album cover art, lyrics to the songs, credits, posters ,stickers as in Pink Floyds DSOTM album. Ya, all that was nice to have.

Damn I miss looking through racks of albums and tapes - getting excited by the covers! First heavy album I bought at a small record shop was Nuclear Assault's Game Over. I even miss that with movies in movie rental places.

Music is the best therapy....

t amo kirk 😭😭😭💖💖💖

Kirk should get with Rob Zombie and make an original horror movie

Metal God for real!

very cool.

Wish Kirk would come to Florida state university 😂 just saw ZZ Top last year while at school

Lost her at, “it had six strings and made noise…” Amazing preparation for an interview with a professional guitarist.

The music in your head all time around IS "tinitus" 😊😁

Glad to see guitars and a 1/2 stack were there as props. ;(

yeah, posters, Mirrors, and patches for your Denim jacket !

Good Lord...have mercy!...I once was blind...not deaf!!

This is a great interview, but what is the point in all of that equipment for him not to play? Lol.

Marshall MX® straight cabinet 4X12", Peavey 6505® Plus Head = awesome sound

Even in the Colombia Museum Of Art Craft Fair in 2022, one of the members of Metallica can show up.

would love to jam with him

I wonder how many people were waiting for him to pick up that guitar and turn on that amp😮😮

KRK! \m/

Didn't Jack White also have that Montgomery Ward guitar?

That Megadeth font on the backdrop tho lol

Kirk is sooo stoned right there. Hes a big weed fan even though most dont mention it. I met him backstage twice in the 90s and him and Newstead reeked of it after the show.

You know could the intro be any longer though kind of like get on with it where is Kirk

Hmmmm, Mesa Boogie on a Marshall cab? Hmmmmm, interesting.

In one hand, this is awsome. In other, private schools are taching metal. That does not make sense.

Who IS metallica 🤔

Why does she talk to the audience like a kindergarten teacher???

Who knows who metallica is?

Why does he have all that gear and not play?

These chairs look so Uncomfortable 😭😭😭😭

Gotta say.. I’m Pretty sad watching that green light glowing on the amp for 45 min. .. 🤣 there are starving kids in other countries who don’t have glowing green lights and tubes Kirk. . Ya could’ve fed us some riffs

I am the real FRANKENSTEIN 😠💥

We need a METALLICA FROM THE START TO NOW NOT THE MONSTER ONE

Not, in any type of way trying to be disrespectful just curious, is Kirk's stutter natural, shyness, or because of his known history of substance abuse? Just curious.

He seems so really unaware of his distinguished presence. ...wow!

You mean to tell me that the yappy tennis player that can't keep time for shit actually let someone else in the band talk...

He’s hard to listen to. Kirk always seems like he’s uncomfortable and nervous in interviews

Kirk is and ok guitar player couse james and lars are the song composers Kirks solos are great dont he nows how to make cool solos and thats it Like the great guitar players make solo albums

He's not better at speaking english than playing the guitar obviously 😂

Wish somebody had asked them why they went whimpy and if they will ever start playing metal again. Haha. I rem back in thrn day they would go around making fun of bands that sold out and cut their hair etc. Said they would NEVER do that. Well, they cut their hair and started writing horse shit music. Def WASNT metal. Hell barely even Rock...🤣 yeah. I wouldve loved to have heard that question asked. Metallica died after the black album. That was the last album I purchased.

I'll admit hes good playing the rhythms to the Metallica songs but his leads are always the worst part of all Metallica songs,he believes hes in some high level but he is no Alex skolnick frankly he sounds sour

Thank God he didn't play..
