Kirk Hammett-Embarrassing Blunder

[DoRullings]

I really don't understand this bullying of Kirk on YouTube. Every earnest person who has ever touched a guitar must admit that he/she has experienced the same as Kirk does in this video. I can still remember the very moment I heard "One" for the first time. I was visiting a friend who had just bought "... And Justice for All". We were stunned! He has composed many solos which is nailed into the history of metal! Kirk is a great guitarist I still admire deeply!

[LeandroCardim]

Now Kirk is going to use Wah-Wah in the riffs also to mask his msitakes? lol

[EnthusiastGamer]

"holy shit" lmao =)

[kornf13]

Kirk Hammett is a lot of things .... a guitarist ain't one of them ! maybe a guitar owner

[Giveupthefunk100]

[Kaizer665]

Just Kirk Omelette ...

[4567pino]

[TheMetalChannelNZ]

homo lips dun dadada dun dun dun.

[Andromelian]

I'm Dave Mustain and Kirk is my bicth.

[BatisPL]

James is so sexy in these glasses <3

[moss85]

@BatisPL he had Lasik surgery in 2005, no longer wears them.

[1975dze]

Kirk abi gitar dersi vermeli :D:D:D

[covertsniperr96]

What a douchebag. Ive always hated Metallica

[MonsterBuddy10]

@covertsniperr96 We shall rise against metallica

[berre451]

satch FTW <3

[krisgraves69]

Lol. I have the same look like Lars has when my band is trying out new members

[6paidaa]

lars just sittin there like hes being punnished for drummin xD just watchin sad :( (rofl)

[simonsays270]

The notes in between aren't fucking with Kirk, Kirk is fucking with YOU! This is his rebound back into stardom from controversy fools!

[BrutalGrindPredator]

shut up everyone and give the poor man his WAH!

[alekszanver]

Trivia . Kirk hammett is a half pinoy . MABUHAY ! ahaha

[IntelligentProbe]

"this one" and "that one", James really knows his stuff! ;)

[nikeelitesquad123]

"HOLY SHIT!!!" this Guy is fucking priceless

[destihado1]

Embarassing album...

[aik7744]

yea i've got that...its... notes in between are fucking with me...lmao

[dreamsofreasonmusic]

This is totally RAD. We've all been there! Props to whoever posted this.

[damnrightman13]

ahh.. good times. i saw this vid first when i'm still in high school

[RoleyPOHLeyOly]

these annotations are fucking hilarious haha



[JonathanMichaelSpain]

Haha Jesus.

[gearsofwolf]

I'm not the only that learned that riff in 2 minutes right?

[IrrelevantHero]

This is weird

[devilslayer888]

It just goes to show you that every musician has there bad times.

[RushAnthem69]

Kirk Hammet = Most overrated guitarist EVER!

[TornadoOfMegadeth]

@RushAnthem69 it so right

[nr900]

I was watching Marty Friedman shredding and I thought to myself "he is WAY better than Kirk Hamett", so I searched for "Kirk Hammet Is Crap" and landed here. I was not disappointe!! lol :)

[stillAfreak2008]

it´s a shame that people see him as a GUITARHERO.

This guy sicks !

[ImTheFunkyDrummer]

MAAAN du you know Machete?? He looks like..

[SherySambora]

KIRK IS SO HOT!♥

[Alekat247]

Anyone who plays guitar has been in the same situation! If they say they haven't, they lie!

[ishani859]

@Alekat247 True i play guitar and i've been in such situations its not a big deal you get use to the riff after some time the reason he's not able to play it is because he's not familiar with what the notes are and riff itself is pretty new.

[BrutalGrindPredator]

Maybe Metallica could make albums faster if they did like Slayer and just had Hetfield record all the guitar tracks instead of waiting until Kirk learns to play the riffs properly

[mauijim00]

what was so embarrassing?

[FATimandolinator]

bieber must die !!! xD

[BrutalGrindPredator]

legendary face at 0:45

[IndyFishing]

"I did this to him" LMAO

[tonycool990]

i dont like kirk anymore

[philippeioutioub]

Everyone can have bad days so I won't blame him for that. However I don't really like Metallica just because of his solos that I think are uninspired. Putting Dimebag from Pantera (rip) instead and for me it would have been the best metal band ever.

[wraithchild1000]

James´ thoughts on this: "Damn, we shouldn´t have kicked Dave out of the band!"

[black9602]

Krik is human jajaja



[Tafka17]

Kirk Hammett.. the guy who made solo for Dyers Eve can't handle this riff.. so here is your proof we all are just humans haha

[craksracing0com]

ajajjajaaja its very funny but....but if this is embarassing....then....

what should be called saint anger ?

....so kirk , dont warry if you have trouble playing shit riffs....just make a new ride the lightning

[Bodomforever666]

@craksracing0com But Kirk didn't write any riff from "Ride the lightning"... Not the song anyways

[killthedead23]

... Still better than Lulu

[pritishsai]

The quotes made my year 

[brammie890]

His first guitar lesson, So cute <3

[MegaMalik90]

And I thought Kirk Hammett was better than me.. XD

[ter50]

"Sounds almost as shit as my snare", the best quote of this video!

[Agentbromsnor]

This why St. Anger is also known as St. Hetfield.

[mirkomcbrain94]

YAAAGADDAT! (and he continues failing)...

[LittleDirtyBlonde23]

Lars is like a little child with his cheeky smile - 1:19

[kingdomsgate]

I thought the way Kirk was playing it from the begining sounded better.

[statch1]

somewhere Dave Mustaine is laughing his ass off

[Bodomforever666]

@statch1 Well I sure hope so, he deserves it xD

[KingKombat99]

This makes me feel better about my guitar skills actually. Even the greats have good days and bad days.

[SparkToast]

NO, YEAH, I got that! It's just the notes in the middle are fuckin' with me.

[MlKEPORNTOY]

I like his flavor saver.

[matyviola]

everytime i see the vide.. the annotations are always different

[RCT3VideosRock2010]

Even Kirk Hammett has bad days!

[gtarmn75]

Kirk is still one of the founding fathers of the thrash scene. Don't forget his work in exodus. Metallica choose him for a reason.

[skaterobban]

@gtarmn75 he barely did anything in exodus he founded the band and left... gary holt is the heart of exodus and has carried that band since day one so dont give other people credit they dont deserve fool.

[gtarmn75]

They are all great and so is kirk. Kirk is

[gabriba]

I love him! hahaaha

[gtarmn75]

Besides James is probably the best rythem guitarist in the metal industry. Remember who came before the lamb of god's, avenged 7x ,as I lay dying, cannibol corpse, death etc. And metallica coppied maiden and Sabbath and punk.

[ManiacFromGreece]

@gtarmn75 Chuck Shuldiner was a better rythem guitariost(rip) so is Dave Mustaine and Mile Petrozza,he is as good as Nergal at rythm guitar

[gtarmn75]

Everyones styles different. His leads are far more technical than any metallica riff. As a musician you can always learn. As soon as you think you know it all some new guy will wipe up the stage with your ass.

[thehumancamel]

ha james can hum it better than kirk can play it

[savageblue25]

how the fucki does this get almost 2 mill views???

[Xinder777]

satriani is a god...he could teach him to play a guitar...

[CrackedStyle]

"your skill is receding along with your hair" hahahahahahahaha

[Lucas060606]

He's seen drunk

[Sunsetsonthehorizon]

"HOLY SHIT!"

[macp0333]

0:43

James, can you call dave?

[sicfuker25]

this is one of the funniest videos i've seen, Metallica has the ability to turn everything into gold even if it's a failure hahaha

[mathewisaachtmlc]

Kirk's playing through a PINK Randall (i think) Head. Wow. So not gay. -.-

[MetalFTWin]

I really like the fact that if you type in Kirk Hammett is gay in the search field, this video shows up at the top :D

[zacharykt338]

LOL what a fail. gotta love em'

[awesomemaster1906]

I AM THE TABLE!

[lowry2403]

James is A Master and Kirk is his puppet ... :DD

[abvflux]

Dave Mustaine made 5,824 accounts.

[awesomemaster1906]

@abvflux mine was one of them.

[EvisceratorBand]

Me: I can play better than Kirk Hammett.

Some random dude: Good job, here's a cookie.

Me: Okay...good point...

[warbringer174]

LARS AND JAMES ARE LIKE... '' WTFF!!!!!! this guy used to play actual thrash with us right?" hahaha god metallica was awesome back in the day..

[theophany1770]

Thanks for this. It's awesome!

[adil2552]

Guys, I would've never guessed that this video would one day reach 2 million views. I was a 15 year old kid at the time, 4.5 years later at the age of 20 I'm still enjoying all the positive/negative comments from you guys.

[weses1]

@adil2552 crazy... this is my first time seeing this video, and it's been up since 2007... and you just left a comment D:::

[7thLeviathan]

@adil2552 not there yet!

[bigamai]

@adil2552 funny cuz the firs time i watched this vid was exactly 4 and a half years ago!!

and it still cracks me up!!

[SoulHarvesterNS]

"Just shut the fuck up and give my my WAH!" xD LOL

[nitrousninja1]

joe satriani said kirk is lame. Out of anyone to say something. I'd listen to him

[ShortFingeredShreder]

@bikibaws Finally somebody who shares my opinion!

[bikibaws]

@ShortFingeredShreder he's my favorite member ever since and then after i saw the some kind of monster dvd i respected him even more...his face and voice still makes laugh though

[ReBooooo]

kirk is awesome, one of the greatest guitar players alive, he isnt just amazingly skilled like other metal bands,he brings a lot of emotion to his guitar playing,he is differente,this shit happends to the best of the guitar players

[VEVOTroll]

He's still better than Dave Mustaine

[jzama85]

LOL they need mics to talk to each other at 3ft away. They shoud give away all that equipment to real musicians.

[UZIMANIC]

What's the matter kirk? Too much cocaine the night before? :P

[InfiniteMisery003]

lmfao!

i know how this feels. once one mistake starts, its a downward spiral from there. even you already know the riff! LOL

[needmo2]

Holy shit.

[kiowa216]

All of u Kirk haters can kiss his multi-million dollar ass while u waste your time watchin 'Tallica vidz.

[Nevigo]

Hammet suck.

[lilkk711]

[NickolozMcCool]

[Vencermos]

Satriani crying

\m/ metallica wooohooo

[ggorieu]

metalica sucks dick GO MEGADETH

[randomcrazyfun76]

@ggorieu megadeth wouldn't be around if it wasn't for metallica, so shut it!

[thefearlessmouse]

What song was he attempting?

[randomcrazyfun76]

@thefearlessmouse sounds like some kind of monster... ?

[TheRebelsoldier12]

[Koroar]

Kirk is such a legend stuff like this makes him even more awesome!

[MinusHuman12]

The captions made this video 5 times funnier

[seanwolfyprevatt]

the captions make the video

[ericaw004]

Lars has no room to judge.

[ManiacFromGreece]

0:44 Lars facial expression.Kirk should have said "Wanna bring Dave Lombardo for a rehearsal?"

[mistress0fpuppets]

um this one video doesn't give anyone an entire obligation to just bash him, guitarists with more experience than him certainly have off days, everyone does, he is still an amazing guitarist nevertheless.

[Gentlefist999]

hahahaha all of the annotations are probably accurate. :D

[MrAppolo777]

0:37 "i Need Beer" LMAO

He really makes that face!!!!

[MetalFury7]

[anthrmthrfckr]

Brrrrrr rah rah...

[Xnothinbetter2dewX]

[VEVOTroll]

Kurt Cobain can do that riff.....oh wait

[cirazoli]

@VEVOTroll haha thats funny cuz he is dead! :D

[Postelini]
