Metallica - The Wait (Jam '04)

[Pelleman666]

@TradersPost Yeah of course, it's just that his solos are so melodic that it's more like a different part of the song instead of just going for it with the wha-pedal. You know what I mean?

but as I said I really like Kirk's solos

[VideoOpinion]

The true facts are, Kirk never knows what key he's in, ever! He's always flat or sharp on his bends, and he never lands on the right ending note unless some producer in the studio shows him what to do. James is the man! Kirk is the lucky tag a long "lead player". You know it's true, don't blame this comment....

[Metallicazor]

@VideoOpinion JAMES FOR PRESIDENT

[metalehead95]

only james and trujillo have talent.kirk just knows techniques

[gigi876]

@metalehead95 This is the best comment on this video ! Really true what you said man :)

[jackwontknow1]

I love how even for rehearsal they use 57s instead of cheap mics.

[NowayLaughs]

@jackwontknow1 57's arent that expensive..

[MetaITV]

i want what ever there using

[rapid287]

s there any clip or link where hetfield is soloing and if it is not nothing else.....

[hoang1428]

Try typing Blackened reheaseal room, James does the solo to it , Kirk was like "WTF!!" and i ve seen one where James did Creep solo too

[rmhm73]

[rmhm73]

E & F

[dethmag]

ElFrankus is one dumb cunt, most of the comments here are fucking crap.

[wrigleyx]

beautiful!

kirk is better than james on solo ha ha ha!!!

but, anyway, great video, i love that!!!!!

[HorstKirkPageKian]

damn! of you who discussed about who is better at soloing - does anyone of you play an instrument?

you don't know what you're talking about, what james did was a JAM, not a solo. i could do that as well. the powerchords are getting upwards while james jammed a few notes downwards. no big deal.

jesus!

sorry i usually don't comment that often, but there are so many wannabes on youtube who think they know something.

about the video: nice warmup jam, i love that song! KJ version is good also!

[ultimateguitar553]

Does anyone know why James doesn't use his ESP Explorers as his main live guitars anymore? yes i know those models are out of production.

[doctorsadvocategame]

He really likes those Les Pauls now adays. If hes not playing one of his ESP Signature Les Pauls, He's playing one of his explorers or a flying V

[ElFrankus]

As a guitarist , James is better than kirk, as an all-arounder. 95% of guitar you hear in the records are James alone. solos are kirk, ONLY.

[stosstrup666]

james can play solos too....remember a year and a half..where james is at a bar and he's playing blues with some band with a strat????

[dimitrisagreborn]

...and the very nice solo at the demo version of Enter Sandman (Making of Black Album)

[regnabdaehnikufesin]

James actually wrote the solos of a lot of Metallica's earlier songs for example: Hit the Lights...and he's actually a really good guitarist

[StiffNips13]

jaymz wanted to be lead guitarist after they kicked dave out he didnt want to be the lead singer. hes underated imo

[Severtized]

@StiffNips13

Because you spell James as "jaymz" I don't find the information on your post trustworthy.

[GoFuckYourself131]

@Severtized well considering James Hetfield signs his name as 'Jaymz' nube......

[Severtized]

@GoFuckYourself131

He does? I thought it was just spelled that way on that Garage Inc. cover album. Even still, it's pretty lame.

[Hashwizard]

james has rhtym kirk has leads..he need to learn some new scales tho

[cradleoffilth666666]

love james!!! <3 awesome solo!!!

[DarkLabProductions]

he puts a lot of emotion into his solos! i love it

[MissSexi25]

okay that was sexy...James Xox

[StingDJ9]

that was a nasty solo

[Caschten]

@ polisbatong post... jamyz might not be that fast but just take look at the Ecstasy of Gold Cover `Tallica did, the solo is NOT from Kirk!!!

It`s james playing, I dind`t belived it myself... but it`s James playing!!!

[MasterKjK]

James is a badass riff"er", and Kirk is a Badass solo"er"

[Pelleman666]

@MasterKjK actually, james is a kickass sologuitarist aswell, as he wrote one of their most breathtaking solos, Nothing else matters..

I love kirk's solos, though, and he is also a great riffer, since he wrote the all so famous enter sandman riff:)

I guess they're bound to be the(to me) greatest band in the world..

[McLoughlin4]

@MasterKjK could not agree more

[polisbatong]

you guys better start realize that james and kirk are both really good guitarists. kirk is faster, better and technically better than James in playing solos for sure. I bet James can't play like Kirk can but james has made great solos as well. there are things james are better doing which Kirk cant do as good....like downpicking fast like hell. try master james in that and you're a God!

[d4m1]

James is better than kirk

and kirk is better than james

[sexy1314]

what the heck are you talking about explain it

[Smeschies]

James can solo better than Kirk

[NITALLICA247]

no

[nickmjones]

Agreed, 100%. Kirk's vibrato is out of fucking control.

[Metallimeister]

james is everyones father haha

[Yesterdayss]

james looks like claire's father in Heroes

no, he really does

[NITALLICA247]

james can do a good solos too
