this was right after "The Thing That Should Not Be" i'm guessing. Kirk made all these crazy sounds in order to resemble the beast, mentioned in the song, going back to it's dark deep lair. I can imagine this especially with the last ten seconds.
@DragonForcebest you lock the strings inside the bridge sadles and the top nut where the strings go through is also locked so it basically cant go out of tune
well metallica were my first love... n i truly think they are awesome... but i regret one thing dat everytime i look at them, its like they have rehearsed the things over n over n over again... n played that a million times... they lack spontaneity n improvisation on stage... jus going off completely random n pulling of wonderful awesome one-time shit... kirk makes awesome solos in the studio... but why cant he improvise??
kirk is great in the context on metallica but in reality he isnt half the virtuoso that some people seem to think he is. There are many more far better players out there. He has been playing the same solos now for 20 years. I hope im proved wrong with the new record.
maybe you just need to watch more videos instead of basing all your judgment on this trainwreck. like the solo in lisbon; it may not be shredding but i still love it
I have spent many a (happy) hour watching Kirk solo here. have also seen metallica live a fair few fans so its safe to say that im a fan.
I say again, Kirk is a great player but their are far better players out there. your comment 'it may not be shredding but i still love it' shows that you are one of the many people that confuse speed with being a good player. 90% of being a great player is about coming up with and playing good material and not the speed at which it is played!
lol he copied off of herman li. it was a motor bike noise. look up herman li game noises. He's the lead guitarist for Dragon Force BTW. an amazing band
I tought I liked it until I saw this piece of pure solo shit. Like wtf is that. Do random notes and harmonic and go crazy with the whammy bar? Just break you're sting it'll sound better. Very dissapointing
kirk is my favorite guitarist and i would much rather see him play a real guitar solo but hes been doing that for over thirty years. i think hes bored of it
i wish metallica turned back into what it was before like in the 80's cause hetfield's voice and look is crap, i hate the new bassist, lar's hair is falling out, and that solo from kirk was just plain noise, they should just try to grow their hair like before (exept I dont think lars can do that anymore) and hetfield should cut out that beard.
why do all of you have to be jackasses about every little mistaek everyone makes. rob is one one of the best bassists out there, he wouldnt have played with ozzy if he wasnt. so what if he cant grow his hair, its not like its his fault. why do all you idiots watch these videos if you know you are just going to post crap comments about how you hate the band and the videos. just back off. and dont reply to me cussing me out.
look man i love metallica but you,ve got to admit that they are not what they used to be its ovious that metallica's style and fame has gotteng weaker over the years. hit me back whith your opinion alright?

Hmm I have to admit, even as a MetallicA fan, that this solo kinda sucked =/ bit dissapointed in Kirk.. It might be very difficult and stuff to do that, but IMO it sounds like crap =(.. well MetallicA still rules =D and I was there soo.. *yay*
Umm this is just a continuation of the effects that are suppose to be at the end of the thing that should not be, am I wrong? So in actuality this is good, it's not meant to be a shredding solo.
for gods sakes. all you idiots talkn shit. "non trained" ear my ass. kirk hammett has been doing stuff like this since before the fucking Justice tour. no its not a musical masterpiece, but have you ever heard the one leads/solo, have you heard the sanatarium, fade to black, master of puppets solos. if ur talkn down on krik than obviously not. think before you type dumbasses.
If you play guitar then you know it is just noise, but that its controlled noise. He has total control of his guitar and using the effect to create different sounds with it. Its pretty complex on the mechanics level, but to the untrained ear "its just noise".
straight shredding does get annoying after 20 minutes or so, well, repetitious anyways...i mean, how many fucking variations of arpeggios can a guitarist create that sound unique w/o getting boring, i personally find the 'noise' he makes with the trem bar and wah amusing, anyone can go and make noise but kirks 'noise' is vicious sounding, do you not agree?
