Guitar Battle: Dave Mustaine vs. Kirk Hammett

[kurty310]

U lot are freacks man KIRK HAMMETT is the guitar god !! Get it in ur head

[theultimatexperience]

>_> Dave wrote riffs and solos for the Kill 'em All album. And he made the spider riff in Master Of Puppets.

[mastermac96]

FIRST OFF DAVE WINS!!! , but because these are all rifts and Kirk doesent write the rifts James shows him, and Dave writs everything that must means obilisly Dave is a beter guitar player , but Kirk is still pritty good with the solos. DAVE WINS!!!

[Slaugthermen666]

fuck! dave its alot better because he does musics kirk plays a cat dying

[cdmante66]

Dude i LOVE METALLICA just got to admit Dave is better.

[nbaboygame]

seeck and destroy is dave's song...so yeah ! Dave wins

[mseals29]

@nbaboygame Dave didn't write Seek and Destroy.

[nbaboygame]

@mseals29 i know , i was saying that he played it first

[mseals29]

@nbaboygame No that is not what you said but I now know.

[StallionTTT]

Kirk wah pentatonic bad vibrato and bends hammet sucks

[TheKovajatka]

Dave wins in every way he writes better Solos, Riffs and Lyrics

[imakazero]

1:41 lol dave helped write that riff

[fedeabbott]

mustaine kick ass of kirk

[MegaRatt44]

The truth is that Dave crushes Kirkie. Dave has created many riffs that shoot Kirkie to the field. Best Metallica riffs are created by James, so you waste your time when comparing riffs between Dave and Kirk. All what Kirk knows is to plug in and do: "Wanki wankie, wah wah"

[sasukeuchihalb]

this isnt even a guitar battle! but regardless, dave wins.

[MADCrazyGun]

My mind says: Dave Mustaine is better (of course) because he sing too, maybe he don't play much solos, many solos play Friedman (not nowadays) but he writes solos, so maybe he first play solos, after that he write..

[dtsjakitos]

seek and destroy fue escrita por dave mustaine al igual que wiplash chequenlo y van a ver kirk nadmas las interpreta

[urfiredloser]

dave couldn't play solo's to save his life, even he will admit that.

[skaterobban]

@urfiredloser Its hilarous to see ignorant comments like this around. because you basically just said "Hi im a fucking idiot"

[urfiredloser]

@skaterobban you've got a small penis.

[sozebee95shreds]

just saying seek and destroy is dave mustaine to

[Rimpianto]

I don't get fanboys. Although you love a band you can be objective and admit when other musicians are better.

Kirk is an average guitarist, Lars is an average drummer, James is good but there are better guitarist out there, but anyway i love Metallica.

In this case, Dave hands down.

[RockandHowl]

Me > Kirk & Dave, end of discussion.

[YepWeMakeVideos]

@RockandHowl you must be marty

[qwerty5161]

muataine



[felipemaiden13]

Dave > Kirk. Metallica > Megadeath. Who cares? For me, only the fact that both bands are still alive is enough to make me happy.

[XxXbboyfrankyXxX]

mmm ok... mustaine wrote seek & destroy ass hole!!!!!!!!

kirk is not a bad player he is amazing BUT please Mustaine is better... who can sing while playin' such monster riffs as mustaine does... NO ONE! accept mustaine is better ppl...

[123MetallicA1234]

@XxXbboyfrankyXxX he wrote parts of it... and remember that James is and was the songwriter in the band. ][v][egadet][=][ & /v\etallic/-\ 4ever!

[Mine172]

Mustaine is by far a more technical guitarist

Kirk is a great guitarist nonetheless but his solos are too repetitive

[808yorkie]

Mustaine and your an idiot if you say Hammett

[wiskeybreth]

dave mustaine is the man, shredding like he does, both rhythm and lead, and singing, if kirk had the ability to do what james does, only playing solos for all songs instead of just a few, the question would be a lot more relevant. they are both awesome, but i think that mustaine has the edge over mr hammett

[battery670]

HAMMETT

[danlash656]

how about you compare killing is my buissness and the memory remains? that really not as biased as angry again vs seek and destroy :O

[kagazmazter]

this video sucks

you shit head go and fuck yourself bitch



[jecmetal]

Dave is much better than the poser of metalligay DAVE RLZ this world!!!

[DrDoodlesVonDoodles]

@jecmetal dude your a poser a real metal fan would like both megadeth and metallica

[jecmetal]

@DrDoodlesVonDoodles jjaja go hear your load and reload fucktard jajaja i love the first metallica records,and i love all megadeth records,metallica now sucks so much,you're the poser jajaja!!!

[DerelictAdvent]

Lol, you people are retarded...

If you've seen mustaine live, you know he runs circles around hammett. Rhythm and lead, there is no comparison.

[0intelligence0]

you gotta be fuckin kidding me... Dave is a rhythm guitarist and he plays solos better Kirk, and he sings and writes songs, too! Listen to She-wolf from Rude Awakening live, that performance is better than the whole Metallica's discography! not to try compare kirk to marty... kirk's solos are minor and pentatonic scales and a bunch of wahwahwahwahwahwah, while marty play scales whose name you can't even pronounce!

[DrDoodlesVonDoodles]

@0intelligence0 nah dave is a rythm and lead its just in megadeth hes rythm

[sr40oz420]

@DrDoodlesVonDoodles no hes both havent u hear most of his solos in every song moron

[SycamoreHill14]

Way to post a biased video. Master Of Puppets should have won the battle alone.

[EddieVH666]

why the hell did they choose angry again for dave. Wake up dead owns anything kirk has ever done and wait whats this kirk seems to be playing daves music anyway so this isn't really a fair battle. they both make great songs and riffs both bands are great but dave plays way cooler solos and his music is more interesting period

[MegadethDude0389]

wtf he cut angel of death just as araya was about to scream

[Contosoldier]

Dude for all you Kirk Lovers. Dave Mustaine is totally better for one reason. KIRK USED ALL OF HIS PLAYING STYLES AND JUST CHANGED THEM A LITTLE BIT. Kirk is a phenomenal lead player but Dave can play lead but is a nasty Rhythm player. There both good. But Dave is better.

[Spamazoid]

No need for it to be a contest.

Both do there job, personally i don'y like Mustaines singing but that doesn't mean he can't play guitar

Megadeth song are not awfull either and some kick ass (Hanger 18, Symphony of Destruction) rock and two of my favourite Metal songs

but Metallica all the way for me and Kirk is a genius

[RyanAitken95]

@Spamazoid well said

[guildcode]

@Spamazoid No offense, I really respected your comment.

but kirk isn't that much of a genius because what is so genius about solos played with wah on through the whole solo.

and to the poster of the video, why would you show riffs that james invented, not kirk.

this is rather a guitar battle dave vs james.

I mean kirk only does the solos and sometimes he does a small part in a song.

[axelitometallico666]

common try to play the trooper its easy now try play mmm every breath you take the police every its hard

common try to play mm nothing else matters now try to play mechanix or symphony noting else its hard please not compare

Please take a good guitarist is not the q alone makes the best but the best plays q has the best experience that the other guitarist Hammett is much better than mustaine but plays faster but with easy chords

[aerosmithcrazzy]

dave mustaine sings and plays better than kirk hammet kirk hammets a foney that just plays dave mustaine songs daves 10000000 times better and can kill kirk hammett u guys r on fucking pot

[FallingFromTheLight]

Both great guitar players...I can't choose...

Wait how about me...i win

[jeremmy78]

Im fan of metallica but i accept kirk is a lot better

Megadeth!!!!!!!

[7VicRattlehead7]

what we got here? a guitar god(dave mustaine) and a wah god(kirk wahmmett) well this is a terrible joke i think we all know who wins and who s by far better... and thats dave...

[canadeth73]

All you guys picking Hammett,are you serious?Mustaine is miles ahead of Kirk in talent.Kirk hit his peak a long time ago while Dave keeps on expanding his trade.Sorry,but this isnt even close.

[numnuts96]

kirk hell ya

[7Whitewolf3]

"hammett win the battle obviously"....What ever Kid, Dave Absolutely Destroys kirk, only shity players, and little boys will pick kirk

[orcastrong]

kirk hammett- listen to call of ktulu and fade to black solos. Both sound better and are harder to play

[LukeLewisAnimation]

@orcastrong Funny that Dave wrote Call of Ktulu it was called When Hell Freezes Over then tho.

[BrettYounker1]

@LukeLewisAnimation i thought cliff wrote the call of ktulu because he was an HP Lovecraft fan?

[LukeLewisAnimation]

@BrettYounker1 Nah bro its Mustaine he has said so himself that was one of his songs used on Ride the Lightning along with the title track. I'm sure Cliff was involved to they were friends and band mates for 2 years. But most of the riffs on the first album the 2 on Ride and parts of 2 songs on Master are Mustaines riffs and lyrics, except The Four Horsemen aka The Mechanix because James changed Mustaines lyrics on that song for the recording of Kill' em All. Now you know :)

[BrettYounker1]

@LukeLewisAnimation lol i knew the rest, but thanks for setting me straight for ktulu

[MaveRicK7393]

jajaja como que kirk es mas que mustaine? dave le enseño a kirk jajaja !!! esa cancion !!!

[DrCornwallis100]

Kirk, but not based off this video.

[DTPVH]

This isn't a good comparison because one of kirks songs is off kill 'em all. Anything after that except for call of ktulu is fine but kill 'em all was daves work.

[7Whitewolf3]

Leonardo, or the guy who traced a bigger smile on the mona lisa face?

Only Half-assed-players and little kids would chose kirk in this stupid competition

Btw it's phoney, and plaguristic and un-inspiered ,to use the mans own Art agianst him , Lame Vid

[Vampiretheo]

dave mustaine or kirk hammett...hmmmm

Jon Schaffer ;)

[guitar8976]

hammett



[oleoleep]

hammet!

[TheBreezyrn]

tough choice, two different styles, but... i think kirk hammett edges mustane out.

[estebianoxronaldo]

MUSTAINE KICK HAMMETT ASS

[manuel8887]

Hammet

[AnacondaBite01010]

Kirk Hammett dumbassess

[LachambredeWarrenPrd]

You chose great songs for Kirk Hammet, but where are the solos of Mustaine from Dialectic Chaos ? Into The Lungs of Hell ? Wake Up Dead ? Holy Wars ? In My Darkest Hour ? Burnt Ice ? Five Magics ? And the list is very long ...

Kirk Hammet is good, Dave Mustaine too, after it is a choice from you, personnaly I prefer Dave

[Sketch95]

dude these stupid "guitar battle" things are getting old. how many damn combinations can you make?!?!

[MegaKeke97]

kirk hammett

[jaagup117]

Outro: Iced Earth-Stand Alone

UPDATE: After reading all the comments and reading my mail, Dave Mustaine clearly won this battle. Keep a watch out for a new battle. no faget Kirk won it

[MrFisherman17]

Kirk Hammett!!!

[williamtrevormcneil]

i hope you know that Kirk did not do any rhythm guitar work on any Metallica songs from Kill 'Em All to The Black Album

so the songs you had for Kirk not only did Kirk not write the riffs to, but hes not even the one playing them, James did all the rhythm guitar tracks in studio.

[Bamtadam]

where are Holy wars, hangar 18, rust in peace, peace sells, and a lot more. mustain always was a better guitar p., in studio and specialy live, mustain plays good guitar and he sings at the same time, kirk only plays guitar, and even though you need both hands to count kirk's mistakes. anyway, they're both good guitar p. both have created awesome riffs, so whats the point of this battle?

[thesuperpizzaman]

The only reason Kirk sees better is because he picked Musaine's simplest riffs. Mastermind has a riff about 6 times cooler then most Metallica songs. Kirk is still good though.

[jmeproductions0]

I say mustaine.. In my opinion, Kirk sucks now...type in "Kirk Hammett sucks now"...and dave was in first place on 100 greatest metal guitarists...u can google it

[Bearskickass976]

Dave Mustaine played the guitar on seek and destroy

[JasonGH313]

@Bearskickass976 he just wrote it did he record it,NO!

[Bearskickass976]

what?

[JasonGH313]

@Bearskickass976 Dave was kicked out before the recording of Kill EM ALL

[Bearskickass976]

No he wasnt. Look in the cd. (Y) guitar playing DAVE MUSTAINE!

[cuyzo]

Dave Mustaine is good but Kirk Hammett is the best i love !!!!!METALLICA!!!!! yeah

[carvinguitar1]

MUSTAINE!

[Moritzius1981]

hammet

[zeroalexi]

DAVE MUSTAINE

[goarmywest]

Hammett all the way

[Fuckeeeerrrr]

HAMSTER!!!

[happyman3196]

why angel of death i the intro?

[MrUphigh]

I like Dave ore i think he is better ...

[LordBartXDark]

Sheatrigger8 Seek And Destroy is from Kill 'Em All. And Kirk didnt played that... Dave did...

But Kirk wins as 4 me...

[MrJn889]

@LordBartXDark yes that is true im just 13 with all song on my ipod from metallica and Kirk is better

[edgeofsorrow69]

i think dave is better when it comes to the riffs and shit like that but solos dave is a shredder and kirk is better rounded in soloing so dave wins when it comes to riffs and kirk wins when it comes to soloing but they are both great guitarists

[TheGottfred]

wich year were Dave Mustaine in Metallica? and Kirk is the best!!

[YTPisme]

Kirkinator wins hands down.

[Funnington]

Kirk

[TheEarl96]

it's a know fact the kirk is better he's o the rolling stones list number 11

[VomSoCo]

@TheEarl96 -yeah and if its on "rolling stones list" then it must be true...

gtfo- its all opinions and music comparisons are fucking stupid as is.

its like first graders saying my grandpa is older than yours....

[TheEarl96]

@VomSoCo but kirk hammett is better hands down and you can't say other wise ask anybody majority of the ppl will say kirk is better

[VomSoCo]

@TheEarl96 - clearly if the "majority" of people say kirk then it must be true..

not gonna argue or respond after this.

all i am saying is opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

[TheEarl96]

@VomSoCo hey bro i'am just saying kirk is better joe satriani taught him so there is no way dave could be better but yea everyone dose have a opinion

[jswaggington]

@TheEarl96 hey how did joe satriani teach him did they know each other or something?,family?

[TheEarl96]

@jswaggington Kirk hammett when to him for privet lessons after during the recording of kill'em all metallica's first album if you don't wat kill is is

[metalmania73]

kirk hammett

[CHR33L3]

Kirk Hammet!

[antonelo17]

dave's intro on black friday destroys any kirk's solo... come on guys... how can u even compare dave with kirk... you are embarasing dave

[metallica1119]

@antonelo17 are you fuckin retarded Kirk absolutely rapes dave. Marty and kirk re more comparable . that could go either way

[LIVANTERIUS]

@antonelo17 your a dork ;)

[metallica1119]

A) Dave's a rythim guitarist

B)Kirk's a lead guitarist

C) Marty Friedman plays most solos for megadeath

D) Kirk wrecks both Marty and Dave

[antonelo17]

@metallica1119

i listen both... metallica and megadeth... but saying that kirk is better than marty friedman... oh man you must be kidding... i respect kirk but he sucks big time if u compare him with marty... and megadeth rythms are more challenging than metallicas solos

[LIVANTERIUS]

@metallica1119 right :D

[jaimecarloshamilton]

Kirk is a real sensitive guy and he would give up anything for metallica, Dave is a well talented musician, but he's a dick, he came to my hometown and yelled "fuck you Biloxi ! I'll never play here again!"

[ozzyosbournefan08]

KIRK HAMMETT FOREVER!!!

[MetalHead83]

Dave obviously , lol hammet has nothing comparable to any of Dave's records

[MetaIIica93]

Mustaine is better than Kirk. RiP, PSBWB, KIMB Endgame kick ass !

[Leadtheband]

Kirk Hammett

[jorgefg666]

kirk easilly

[wacik14]

They are both good

[Ice00z]

Seek and destroy is a damn good song but... Very easy.. But i like metallica more than megadeth so Hammet wins ;)

[TheRomulo1986]

MR HAMMETT!!!!!

[aldolfje]

HELL YEAH

MR HAMMET AK THE RIPPER !!!!!

[TheMastereffects]

off course Kirk

[d3vilchild7]

you picked two of very few songs that i like from megadeth...

they are both pretty good, maybe mustaine is better but i don't understand why they chose him as the number 1

[realliquidsnake]

Mustaine!

[metallica96ful]

kirk hammett

[DarkChaosKnight117]

hammett win the battle obiously

[ToaJoe]

Hammett used to be better than Mustaine during the 80's and LEAD guitar. Ever since then, Mustaine has been better than him at lead. Mustaine has always crushed Kirk at songwriting and rhythm guitar. Therefore Mustaine wins. And Marty Friedman obliterates them both.

[freshnAyt]

oh man Dave's Gesang ist fürn arsch

[XDcH]

Marty Friedman is better that they both xD

[zazoreo]

kirk hammet all the fucking way.

[Rushisftw]

Good Mourning Black Friday's intro solo destroys pretty much any solo by Kirk.

Still both are great, but Dave is a much better riff writer.

[TheArbiter0]

hammett ...obiviously

[guitarwizard987]

Kirk hammett he may not have written the solo's on kill em all but he did write fade to black outro solo, creeping death solo, and the unforgiven solo. Those imo blow any lead work that dave has ever done outta the water. Love em both though.

[rororodrii]

Dave Mustaine :D

[Pidza48]

i think tis video is so bad why just a few seconds on some songs INTRO???  why not solo?

[Kriaturametal]

seek and destroy's solo is not a Kirk solo...

[MetallicA4658]

yea it is. go listen to Metallicas seek and destroy before Kirk and then listen to it with him in it. they are different in many places but Kirk also played that solo on the spot so he improvised and it sounds perfect!

[Kriaturametal]

But is not made by him. I know he plays it perfect, I mean he should have chosen other solos Anyway, this aren't solos xD

[twojemytoes]

well im just gonna say they are both unbelievable players but kirk although has some songs that sound awesome with wah some songs just suck from it enter sandman but there is better songs to use for both

[xXVaZK0Xx]

Naaaah Andreas Rudolf Kisser from Sepultura is the best! xD

[Tyson1205]

dave sucks

kirk is a guitargod

[JHendrixProductions]

YOU SUCK THEN

KIRK SUX COMPARED 2 DAVE

[frozenturd007]

I just wanted to point out that the song, "Seek and Destroy" which was used as Hammett's example, featured Dave Mustaine playing lead guitar on the album, and was written partly by Dave.

[counterstrikeanton]

Dave is not on kill em all !!!! They recorded it after he got kicked!!! Dave suck and everybody knows that!!!!

[lgcmetallica]

kirk is the best

[7Whitewolf3]

Dave....And only little kids and shity players, would vote otherwise

[Edel99]

I have a penis in my pants!

[Octane2009]

kirk owns dave mustard anyway!

[0maZter0]

KIRK is the best .. ever...

dont have no comparison ...

are different riffs .. Musical different speeds ...

Kirk is my Idol... but i love megadeth too!

[Threnody018]

i think slayer wins xD

[xwz453]

KIRK!!!!!!!!

[YANKELRUL]

Kirk is better

[maneco88]

where's holy war?

Wake Up Dead

Mechanix can be compared to the Four Horse Man

Seek and Destroy too, but only if yo use the dave version... you can find it by type in dave em all

[lzeppelinrocks]

Dave can shred better and has more skills and is insane. Kirk is still awesome and i think plays more from the soul.

[Rispse]

Mustaine is way better...

[ssarush]

KIRK!

[Rispse]

sux balls

[TheAbsorbant]

This was utterly pointless, to compare the two you'd have to compare their soloing skills. Kirk didn't play any rhythm guitar on any album before "Load", so there's not one note of Kirks guitar playing in this "battle". What you've effectively done is compare Dave to James Hetfield.

[1994AaronSmithcars]

i say Kirk because did you know that dave's doing one more album then he finish

[rnrmustang]

What does the amount of albums have anything to do with guitar playing?

[onett128]

the first battle fails

dave played seek and destroy

[jetsguy74]

i think if you let kirk use effects, it would be even. but just shredding, dave owns him. my question is who plays the opening solo on good mourning/black friday? is that dave or the other guy (poland? i forgot his name). cause that is epic mind blowin shredding.

[ThrashinAllAround092]

the long bending notes are poland, but the first "actual" solo i believe youre referring to is mustaines, along with the second. chris poland plays the solo near the end of black friday

[brattchx]

dave
