  • he is not the best guitar player of all time, but for me is one of them... and comparing... i personaly think mustaine is good with the riffs but kirk is the MASTER with the solos

  • Dave is a better all around guitarist than Hammett.

  • who cares about mustaine or hammett..friedman ownz them

  • anyone who thinks dave mustaine could play like this is a freaken fool,

    when kirk plays fast he plays very clear note to note,when dave plays fast he

    sounds like a mess,his solos are out of focus and just sounds bad .

    and this solo kills anything dave has ever done..sorry sad but true

  • @vlmmosto I agree, I love Dave, but his solos are pure shit. Sometimes, in the context of a song his balls to the wall playing sounds good, but if you listen to the isolated solo tracks it sounds like crap. Messy pentatonic slop. I wouldn't want hear what a Mustaine solo would sound like in songs like Fade to Black, Wherever I may Roam, One, etc. Kirk isn't great technically, but when in the studio he comes up with solos that fit the songs really well.

  • @kingv911 right on bro,it's true,but kirk technically he can do everything

    but he is more the type to do a solo that serves the song right,even if it

    means not showing his fullest capability,because even james and lars

    don't want him to do just any kind of solo,they want him to solo for what

    sounds best for the song,but dave mustain just wants to shredd fast in

    all his solos even if it dosen't serve the song right,that's the difference

    between the 2.

  • @vlmmosto Exactly. What Mustaine excels at is coming up with awesome riffs and song structures, and being a strong frontman.

  • @kingv911 exactly,we rule

  • @vlmmosto lol?i seriously laugh at your stupidity...poor idiot,go listen to justin bieber.

  • @cromaticas ahhhh,another jealous megadeth fan ,sorry loser

    but metallica is the biggest and greatest metal band of all time,

    and megadeth is rated number 14th(pathetic)

  • @vlmmosto lol,i like metallica a lot more than megadeth buddy.you know shit about guitar playing if you say kirk is better than mustaine.kirk fucking sucks.he only plays with his wah now to hide all his mistakes and his terribles bends and vibrato.he sucks,get over it.

  • @cromaticas hey dumb ass,kirk is voted 2nd greatest metal guitar player

    of all time by the most important guitar critics in the world,,from guitar world

    magazine and guitar magazine there the two greatest guitar critics in the world,

    and dave mustaine was voted number 19 by them..and kirk has also won

    the most guitar awards from their award show,more than any other metal guitar

    player in the last 30 years,so you don't know shit when it comes to guitars,

    their professionals and your not.

  • @vlmmosto well its pretty obvious that you dont play guitar,no point in arguing with you.you're too deaf to realize all kirk solos are the same thing in different tonalities.oh wait,you probably dont even know what that means.

    cya.

  • @cromaticas if you think you know more than a professional critic

    then your a dumbass,make a name for yourself 1st,then you could talk,

    but your a nobody..and kirk is a versitile player,he is classicly trained,blues jazz

    and everything else,and dave mustaine only knows how to play riffs and

    shredd fast,that's all,and that's why critics say kirk is better,and yes

    i play guitar better than you dumb ass,sorry you lose ..sad but true

  • @vlmmosto kirk versatile?are you stupid?all he can do is play the pentatonic minor.really,you know nothing about guitar playing...dont mind answering,im

    blocking you anyway.cya and learn some music theory before talking bullshit...

  • @cromaticas Dave isn't that great, at least at lead. I'm sick of people comparing Dave and Kirk, where people argue Dave is better because he doesn't use pentatonic scales, yet almost every solo from him I've seen is mostly blues based pentatonic runs. Marty, Chris Broderick, and Poland are the great leads in Megadeth, not Dave. And Marty admires Kirk. Dave and Kirk are both way overrated, but Kirk is better, feel free to message me if you disagree, I'll gladly teach you about music.

  • @RobertWilson48 How is Kirk overrated?

  • @metallifreak23 Skill wise, he is still great though nonetheless.

  • @cromaticas And besides, memorable solos add the touch and feel to a song, I hardly hear any memorable solos from Dave. (Maybe a few if that). Tornado of Souls = Marty, A Tout le Monde = Marty, basically anything off Rust, their best album = Marty, and yes Marty can rip the balls of Dave easily in lead playing as with Kirk.

  • @vlmmosto but hammet gets sloppy and mustaines are faster and he can play longer

  • @brawlingdog883 i don't think so,mustain is overated by the megadeth fans

  • @vlmmosto im more of a metallica den megadeth its kinda just a fact but I loVE HAMMET!!

  • @vlmmosto "clear note to note"? Didnt know 'wah-wah-wah' was a musical note..

  • @plqaz43291122 your to stupid to understand because your a kid who

    still watches cartoons

  • Best Studio song

  • i.... i think i just wet myself

  • Fuckin' too high quality

  • imo kirk is alot better than dave.when i like a solo i could give a shit how technical or fast and complicated it is. to me a truly great soloist has to have feeling and soul. and kirk will win that contest any day over dave

  • High quality my ass

  • Metallica has said themselves they're not great musicians in themselves. That should give you average musicians hope, and humble you stuck-up awesome musicians who'll never achieve anything near what tallica has...

  • @natazer That's 100% false...

  • @natazer Metallica has sold 100 million albums and when they say that there are better musicians, they say that out of modesty. Stupid nobody like you, always interpret in a negative way. Youtube is giving out way too much space for fools like you to take vomit in the name of comments.

  • clearly whoever added that annotation at 0:43 doesn't play guitar...That's not hard to do at all...kirk sucks as a player now....rehashing the same old shittly licks he did 25 years ago...only now they are so drenched with wah its unbareable.

  • @MrShredtilldead He doest suck . . or else they wouldnt have made it this far homie. . .but yes his new solos now arent that good

  • @MrShredtilldead when you are in one of the worlds biggest bands, then you can insult kirk, if you are so good, then why arnt you in a world famous band?

  • @MegaGrody Whether you're in a band or not, whether you even play an instrument or not, you can still have and express negative opinions about music and the people who make the music. I'm not a film director but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to say when I think a movie sucks.

    By your logic everyone in the world should just shut up and keep their opinions to themselves if they aren't kissing the ass of the musician. That "you're bashing this person, you must be jealous" shit gets old.

  • Comment removed

  • jajajajaja sweeeet jajaja

  • It's be cooler if Lars could play his parts too.

  • @krustykarl If you watch this video its proof he cabn. Or if you've ever seen em live.

  • @ZexusGaming Funny, I don't hear any doublebass in that clip.

  • @krustykarl Audio is pretty bad i cant tell. But Live he is awsome

  • @ZexusGaming I've seen them live a couple times, and these days, he is not awesome.  Especially on the doublebass, he completely phones it in. Especially on Dyers Eve, because he never could play it. The kicks were 'created' in the studio by an engineer. It's well known.

  • @krustykarl oh he must be getting old. fair enough :) and i didnt know that about dyers eve

  • it's so... flawless, full notes and all my god!

  • Looka all these ppl with these long ass comments...stfu and enjoy.

  • To all those people who are arguing id rather judge the solo by how awesome it sounds and how it fits in the song but if i were to judge kirk as a guitarist (he's my inspiration : O) then id say he's not the best but does the job and now it's the money i gues i mean look at the solos on death magnetic -.-' i mean comparing this to justice solos its like if magnetic was first : O theyre so easy to play but also not everyone can be as creative blah blah keep it metal \m/

  • That was shite u can barely even hear it

  • 0:43 ! those word came into my head when I saw that ! autch !! xd

  • Jeff Loomis, Tosin Abasi, Paul Gilbert, Joseph "Joe" S., Brian Carroll, and David Scott M.

    That is all.

  • @Jamsessionroom1337 Aren't in Metallica, that is all.

  • @UKRCyanide Silly fanboy, in terms of skill one of those surpasses kirk in everything, does that mean kirk sucks? yes, but will you still like him? of course, so then nothing of yours is being hurt, just spreading around the truth.

  • @Jamsessionroom1337 First of I never mentioned anything to with skill, liking Kirk etc so what a stupid and pointless comment that was but yes, I like Kirk he's in my favorite band of all time therefore I do like his playing regardless of skill/technique. All the people you mentioned are all influenced by Metallica especially Tosin so before you try and post a smart arse comment maybe you should actually research the people. All those people are instrumentalists, so again stupid comment.

  • @UKRCyanide You're a fanboy, first my point is made regarding skill, you take my point out your argument is invalid. Second i don't care what you like, third my point is this.

    Kirk sucks, all those other guitarist don't Paul Gilbert doesn't give three fucks about metallica, neither does Sachafunkis, neither does buckethead, and definitely not dave mustaine.

    "All the people you mentioned are all influenced by Metallica" Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

  • @Jamsessionroom1337 Hahahaha, Satch taught Kirk guitar you fucking idiot. Mustaine was in Metallica and Buckethead well, I don't care much for him. And yes, all those people are influenced by Metallica.

    PG - guitar technique magazine he says he is

    Satch - well taught him guitar so that's obvious

    BH - no cares about him

    JL - influenced by him guitar world interview

    TA - jam play dot net interview he says he is

    Don't care much for the rest of them. So yes I know my shit, obviously you don't.

  • @UKRCyanide You're really a fucking idiot aren't you?

  • @Jamsessionroom1337 Nope, I'm going from fact you're going from fiction. Just watched your video, I think we can now establish you're the fucking fanboy. Probably one of the shittest guitar video's I've seen, and just because it's Buckethead doesn't make it good or hard, it's shit fact. Kissing his arse and then putting a cover like that up, be quiet you no nothing of guitar or anything musical, it's apparent.

    Should spend more time playing instead of talking shit.

  • @UKRCyanide It's really funny how you think i'm kissing his ass when i only mentioned his name twice, your not even talking from a perspective that is of any relevance to the original topic.

    Your just speaking a bunch of crap that deteriorates from the original point which is this.

    All the guitarist i named are better than kirk, that's it.

    Is it true? YES OF FUCKING COURSE!! I don't know why a video of two takes in a song learned by ear has anything to do with kirk hammet being a bad player

  • @Jamsessionroom1337 Can you not read? You called me a fanboy so I explained why you are, I never mentioned Kirk's name to begin with, you posted a stupid comment so I posted one exploiting you being stupid, simple.

    To be honest you're the type of person that their mum wish had swallowed on that drunken night when you were conceived. End of the day, they are better no denying but Kirk & Metallica have better music, fact.

    Now like I said go and spend more time learning instead of chatting shit

  • @UKRCyanide Now the deteriorating begins again and now that you have no point, the insult begins with absolutely no point of relevance.

    You hopped on his dick, (and kirk) being the worser player trying to find ways of denying his abilities against people who are clearly better. and you failed.

    Second paragraph (you assuming bullshit again).

    There's no such thing as "better" music, just thinks you like and things you don't,you simple minded music elitist.

  • @Jamsessionroom1337 "There's no such thing as "better" music, just thinks you like and things you don't,you simple minded music elitist." you just contradicted everything you've said and that was the point I was trying to get across but when there is no reasoning with dickheads it's better to speak to them like small minded cunts, which is exactly what you are. And about you being shit, you insult Kirks skills I'll do it to you, simple. You're in no position to talk about peoples guitar ability.

  • @UKRCyanide  Refer to the first paragraph of previous comment.

  • @Jamsessionroom1337 Refer to the bottom of that comment, you contradicted yourself therefore making everything you've said pointless & useless. I'm not even sure why I'm continuing to comment, you clearly aren't in any position to judge anyone else's guitar playing, those players are better yes but they have nothing to do with Metallica, so why post that comment on this video? No one really wants to hear about other people on a certain video.

    Was a unnecessary comment, and I'm done "arguing".

  • Can I just ask why the first video choice that pops up after this video finishes is a fffffffuckin' Ke$ha song?

    Christ, what is this world coming to.....

  • high quality ???  =

    holy shit!!!!!!!!!

  • MISTRZ"D

  • Dave and James Are Fucking Guitar Gods...and fuck you all fucking haters...fucking stupids or what??

    Stay fucking metal |m|

  • Dave mustaines got awesome vocals man

  • Some serious skill here people

  • Dave = (Kirk+James) x 2

  • @Megatallicaupyourass

    Dave is not a skilled guitarsist, and he sings like he is constipated!

    Stop trolling you fag!

  • @AdnOd86 Ok man thats just my opinion and thats about guitar, not vocals

  • @AdnOd86 He is a skilled guitarist! One of the best! i like james way better but u cant say that dave is good

  • @AdnOd86 What?Dave is a very talented guitarist.Now days Kirk can't play his solos good live.But Dave is still pretty good.Not to mention his other guitarists Chris broderick and Marty Friedman are a lot better than anyone in Metallica.Don't get me wrong-I like early metallica but since the black album they don't play very well at all.

  • @AdnOd86 are you dumb? if u dont like it thats fine but he is very skilled that is an undeniable fact

  • Dave = Kirk+James

  • It's funny, cause people say Kirk isn't that good any more, Maybe he's not as good as he was in the 80's (he was a beast then, compare his finger work then to now)

    But yet he's ripping this solo, imagine what this film would of been like if it was back in 1988-1989 :O

  • Kirk kiss the ass of dave mustaine

  • he runs scales big deal

  • he runns scales big deal

    

  • Kirk Hammet never uses any other intervals than Seconds.

  • Sweet what?? Metallica has decrease their speed and they seem like they do not know the songs, they have changed all tempos and solos...

  • @zamambuco it seems like they dont them because they havent played some of these songs in years

  • @loco4201...yep Mustaine writes better shit than hammet.

  • @furbiscuit916 Does he?:L

  • @bamchongtube....i agree.anybody can sound good with a wah pedal.P.gilbert is one of my favorites,Shawn lane and Vinnie moore.

  • insane!! <3

  • to be honest everyone who says kirk hammett is amazing needs to listen to paul gilbert, jeff loomis, mohammed suicmez, an so on, kirks orite yeah, but he uses the wah pedal too much, waaaay too much

  • Stop fucking arguing goddamn! we're in the same fucking boat... Metal is Metal PERIOD we are not like those hip hop R&B douchers acting like it's some damn competition! The only reason Kirk would be considered better than Dave would only be cuz he is in the role of "lead guitar" so he can concentrate alot more energy toward doing just that. Dave might not be the lead guitarist like Kirk but he writes way more complicated riffs than any Metallica and has to focus more enrgy on singing and playing

  • @loco4201 Dave does have some pretty sweet solo's though you got to admit. He's got it all: looks, awesome voice, killer chops, and incredible band members to back him up.

  • @loco4201 i dont care if riff is complicated or not i need it to sound good!

  • @loco4201 So basically you say "STOP ARGUING WHO IS BETTER" and then you come around saying who you think is better -_- complicated != better btw, so don't use that as your argument.

  • WTF?

  • *-* Kirk Hammett Rulez!

    Kirk Hammett>>>>>>>>>>> dave mustaine

  • Lol james is better then both ;)

  • Hammett is lazy

  • @KinaskyHenk

    is lazy now, wasn't back in the day

  • i just learned how to play this, feels so fuckin amazing XD

  • damn i love his ouija

  • this solo is so much fun when ya learn it

    but it is one of his most challengin ones i think

  • thanks for ruining the video lars.

  • If you started to watch and like 10 secs after you thought "Holy shit!!" Thumbs up

  • "So sloppy, so slow, so weak" Bullshit !

    "...I nailed his girlfriend before i left..." Dave Mustaine, but Kirk could say "...I nailed all his solos, and guitars, before HE left..."

  • @otpenagos Mustaine is a whiny, jealous bitch. I fucking hate him. Sure, Megadeth is a great band, and he's a great guitar player. But Dave is the biggest fucking bitch of the modern metal scene. And now he claims he's become all christian and stuff as a desperate act to redeem himself from his bad reputation. My gosh, what a fuckin' moron. And as for your comment, I'm pretty sure none of the guys in Metallica had girlfriends at the time Dave got his sorry ass kicked out.

  • @pmanderson Totally agree

  • @pmanderson amen bro

  • Narutoguy56 why would u compare holy wars to enter sandman and then say dave is better because sandmans boring How about master of puppets to risk oh risk is boring i guess James is better. I can do that too

  • Legendary shred

  • kirks the man... and the wah master :))

  • 1 doucher is pissed because he can't play this. LOL

  • But you have to agree Dave makes the best metal riffs. For instance, Holy Wars. That riff is insane, while Enter Sandman is being overplayed and also fairly simple to play.

  • @narutoguy56 but you are doing a incorrect comparation... those songs are different styles....holy wars is thrash metal, and enter sandman is more commercial (and for that reason is more simply) if you are going to do a comparation, do a correct comparation. (and holy wars intro riff (its a great riff!!) is only picking xD it took me practice but I can play that, and I think it isn´t very complex xd)

  • oh fuck ! Kirk Rulz!

  • kirk,s got somthing that dave dosent have ...... and thats melodi.... where do u think slash would have been without it.......

  • this solo actually isn't that hard to play. however, it is fun to play XD

  • Comment removed

  • no way man looking down the cross is mostly tremelo picking its sounds pretty cool but there is not much technique to his solos as kirk hammetts and i like hamster hehehe

  • Lol. Mostly tremolo picking? Stick with guitar hero.

  • @razorslice17  mustaine just 17 15 12 frets that it holy wars solo in my darkest hour solo that a dave mustaine solo

  • @guitarherofanatic04 you must hear kick the chair solo, my last words, wake up dead

  • @guitarherofanatic04 what? dave is much more skilled then kirk, kirk uses fucking pentatonics all day long. hes the only guitarist i know thats famous and that sucks NOW! hes so fucking sloppy and overuses wah. dont tell me but he has emotion and dave doesnt? What?! Dave has fucking more emotion, look how just agressive he is. What uses Kirk as technique? Wah+15-17-18+Whammy bar. Thats it lol

  • @likestojam its all pretty much opinion buddy,there both good no doubt, i believe dave is more technically talented and ive been playing for 15+ years. i have battery posted on my page. i can play mostly everything they both wrote. no need to fight for whos better or not, thats an argument that will never end so it pretty much boils down to personal preference

  • Every time he plays a solo, look at his strumming hand, wat does it say? FUCK MUSTAINE!!! IM BETTER!! lol, insane playing btw, metallica wouldn't be the same without him

  • Badassness. Just... complete and total fucking BADASSNESS.

  • the riff right after that is one of my favorites ever.

  • dont forget we are not talking about virtuosos, both dave and kirk are just guitar players who fit to their bands, its not their intention to out play anybody

  • @Aremine well said.. i think us fans care a bit more than they do whose actually better.. lol

  • kirk may be better than dave but dave will allways be my favorite

  • the part u said omg holy shit about was the easiest part!!

  • we can barely hear Kirk :(

  • this opinion may not matter, but satriani beats all

  • dave is alot better technically and is much more musically natured......but Kirk has good phrasing.

  • kirk 0wnz!

  • im sick of this shit between kirk and dave if dave dint get kicked out or watever happened 2 him megadeth would not of excisted fair enough i like kirk more cus he was in my time when i was born but hey i like metallica and megadeth both great bands \m/

  • HURR DURR DERP I THINK METALLIDETH IS DA BEST BAND EVAH AND DAVE HAMMET SUCKS BALLZ INSTEAD OF KIRK MUSTAINE WHO IS DA BEST GUITAR PLAYER OF ALL TIME

    I SPEND MORE TIME ARGUING ON YOUTUBE WHY MEGALLICA IS TEH BEST THAN AKSHULLY LISTENING TO THOSE BANDS, BUT U CANT SAY IM WRONG BECAUSE I EXPRESS MY OPINION DURR

    Jesus christ ... we are here to say "kirk hammett rocks" or "kirk hammett sucks" nothing more, nothing less

  • @Anemonicus Anyone perpetuating the Metallica/Megadeth argument needs to take a damn good look at this wisdom here. Maybe get it tattooed on their foreheads.

  • you can't even hear him playing!

  • kh ouija is ono of kirks best guitars

  • i bet you there was some like, metallica roadies talking about a megadeth solo when kirk was recording the solo for this, and that got kirk so pissed, that he came up with this fucking masterpiece :D

  • Kirk and Dave are Both great guitarrist, Stop comparing them! GOD!

  • Oh My fuckin' God!

  • kirk plays it so smoothly!

  • thats is so awesome!!!! how can anyone do that :O

  • u motherfuckers need 2 get over the whole kirk and dave shit kirk cant play the last solo on holy wars by dave and dave cant play this who gives a fuck!! theyre both sick as shit fucking queers!

  • the only way this video can be bvetter is if u can actually hear the solo, u can barely hear it

  • ERES LA VERGA KIRK XD

  • immah go throw my guitars away now.....

  • totally agree dave speeds shit up to fast and takes the music out of it

  • @stryderfilms since when was speeding solos up a bad thing?

  • WOW are u sure dave dosent need a fuckin wah petal to dround out the missed notes

  • @DisciplesOfAlliance dave is a better guitar player for A THRASH METAL BAND, kirk is a better musician, he can make a solo with full feeling, meanwhile when dave play a solo you want to bang your head, dave is a better technician guitar player, but kirk is a way better musician

  • @DisciplesOfAlliance i dont think so... dave is pretty fuckin good. watch she wolf live. but they are both good :)

  • @DisciplesOfAlliance i agree, kirk does win as a lead player, but if were talking about whos a better rhythm player i would say dave, seeing how kirk mainly writes solos

  • @88fanforlife well ya but theyre opposite sides of the guitar spectrum here...kirks lead and daves rhythm..now compare hetfield to mustaine...or... hammett to broderick or freidman

  • Comment removed

  • @DisciplesOfAlliance agreed ^^

  • @DisciplesOfAlliance rofl you are funny

  • @DisciplesOfAlliance Dave is much better guitarist over all, He is a song writer, and a much better rhythm guitarist than Kirk. Kirk doesn't even really write songs.

  • @dukeljk Considering that kirk wrote the most recognizable metal riff of all time, Enter Sandman......

    I Disagree....

  • @DisciplesOfAlliance

    Dude, the most recognizable riff of all time was deff not Enter Sandman, that riff ultimately riffs like

    Master of Puppets

    Damage Inc.

    Ride the Lightning

    Call of Ktulu

    Enter Sandman is over played. Dude.

    But I do agree Kirk is the better guitarist.

  • @Metallica032693 I meant to the world not just metallica fans.....

    Everyone knows the enter sandman riff even if they don't know it's by metallica....

  • @DisciplesOfAlliance

    yea, kinda sucks the rest of the world doesn't know these riffs

  • @dukeljk

    BULLSHIT

  • @DisciplesOfAlliance They are both absolutely amazing! Discussing about who's better is just stupid, because Metallica fans say "Kirk all the way" and Megadeth fans "Dave all the was". (I love both bands, but prefer Metallica, though) Let's just say that they are BOTH incredible and that's the end of discussion. :-)

  • when was this?

  • dave mustaine cant play this ;), for the people who says that mustaine is better than hammett, take this !!!

  • haha so true!

  • @RodHammett95 ???

  • He's 1000 times a better guitar player than I am(I'm talking of Dave). And I can play this solo. If you got facebook i'll link you the video where I play it, just PM me. Anyone can play this solo, it just takes some time to practice, took me 2-3 days. It's not about playing it, but making solos. I don't know if Dave Mustaine can make solos like these but I'm pretty fucking sure he can play them.

  • @RodHammett95 Both guitarists have different styles...you can't expect them to perfectly match what the other can play, and saying this is proof of Kirk being a better guitarist pretty much shows how little you know.

  • @RodHammett95 I think Dave could do that solo too, Kirk Hammett solos are awesome but not  soo hard
