I think this is such a great cover. Not exactly the same because kirk is not the exact same guitarists, which makes this version so special. It has kirks own twist.
kirk is an awsome guitarist (new metallica sucks) but nobody should atempt to recreate any song of these following band/musicians: hendrix, beatles, pink floyd, and black sabbath...they just never sound right
f u ck for those who disrespect kirk . look very shit ! he the one who respect hendrix so much . other "shit" guitar player . have they respect like these ?
@evansayschill I don't think so... No body had been playing like Hendrix again. He will be the legend forever and its imposible to compare with modern bands or guitar players still if they can play better.
I like Satriani for exempl and maybe he is better on guitar triks and he is very original but he can't play such organic songs. I think that maybe Hendrix never had a guitar lesson...
@mailhoax You're right, Jimi never had guitar lessons in his life, Neither did Eddie Van Halen. In fact, many of history's greatest guitar players never once took lessons.
@walshy0001 this was actually recorded back in the 80's when they were because its one "Live Shit" and yes i agree there are way more guitarists out there that have sum MAD Emotions but the dude has sum emotion is his guitar playing dude... p.s. sky isn't pink normally.. and obviously thats what i ment haha
@walshy0001 and SMWhit3out @Christ... Can't we just stop fighting jeez.... So what hes not the best but hes extremely good.. plus everyone messes up; ESPECIALY WHEN DRUNK.. if you know so much about them then you would know that they were all RAGING ALCOHOLICS... and give it to the guy., he did a great cover.. also if Kirk Hammett can't show emotion, then the sky is pink... Just look at Fade To Black; all the Unforgivens; Outlaw Torn. There's your emotion... just stop fighting it's stupid......
I'm pretty sure that this was done nowhere near the time of their early days when they where always drunk (I could be COMPLETELY wrong on that though, i'm just assuming) and i never said kirk doesn't have emotion. just that there are much better emotional guitar players out there. i wouldn't consider him extremely good from any viewpoint at all, to me he's one of the most mediocre "Professional" guitarists out there IMHO. btw, the sky is pink during the sunset ;)
When it starts off I thought fuck this is gonna be good but then at 35 seconds it just sounds like any other metal band tribute trying to recapture Jimi.
I know they don't but It isn't terrible, and I think they more than make up for it with the quality of the sound, feel, look, components and everything else the Strat has to offer. Definatley the sound though, you can't find it anywhere else.
@cmjmkcapbpjhdsatjx Yea I agree, a very versatile (spelling?) guitar the Stratocaster, and with HSS, HSH and maybe HHH models, there is a Strat for everyone.
@cmjmkcapbpjhdsatjx yes because fender would of made a profit from selling normal stratocasters and flipping the strings and setting them up like a left handed guitar. and randy rhodes is trash. could he play leads and sing at the same time. sometimes even soloing while singing. could he write licks to a song backwards. could he record an album in 2 weeks and have incredible studio quality like hendrix did. i didnt think so
@cmjmkcapbpjhdsatjx well hendrix didnt even use scales. he didnt know theory. hendrix learned everything by listening to records. he got to the point where he knew what sounded good by ear. thats why hendrix's playing is so lyrical and not restricted at all. rhoAds focused on his pentatonics and lydians and phrygian while hendrix just kicked major ass without having to study to do it
@cmjmkcapbpjhdsatjx Rhoads is one of my favorites but he was just a guitar player.... Jimi Hendrix was a force of nature! There's Jimi Hendrix and then there's the rest.
@cmjmkcapbpjhdsatjx i hope your not suggesting that a signiture guitar makes you good and hendrix was a pioneer, as rhoads good as he may be was just a player
fuck all of you kirk is the shit whether you like it or not, he learned from joe the next best, who had inspiration from the OG jimi, dont even get me started on how great Metallica is, if you dont liek Metallica then your deaf
The speed solo at the end is done well but dont fit. I dont care for kirks vibrato... to me it always seemed a little off time and at times made the guitar almost sound out of tune. Vai has much better mechanics and feel it's almost inhuman at times. One of the most graceful nerds ever. Love eat em and smile. That era is over. Guitar heros of old they all deserve our respect anyways.
kirk hamment has been doing great stuff in metallica...i fink hes not as skilled as steve vai but plays more with emotions...and music without emotion is not music.
waste your time? do u you expect me to believe ur comment without seeing A LOT of HARD evidence. his solos don't sound basic compared to jimi, I'm not saying he's better, but even by jimi standards Kirk is epic.
hmm, kirk's more technical, but the guy doesnt even have a vibrato developed after 25 years of playing. the guy is an amateur who made it big, thats it. compared to jimi, well i think they're both overrated but jimi takes the cake in everything besides technicality, and im still not gonna search videos for you, you can do that yourself...
well, i tend to hate on guitarists everyone likes, and most kirk fans know nothing about guitar, so i bash on them and kirk. jimi was ahead of his time and started basically everything, but compared to guys now, hes an amateur. and kirk, he has no creativity, cant bend, cant do vibrato, cant play anything out of the pentatonic shape, he has some great solos, but the rhythms james does behind them makes it kinda simple to make an epic solo over if you get my drift. but anyways, yeah...
I kinda feel the same way about Jimi, but i just thought that if people liked him so much that he had to be talented even if i couldn't hear it. But I'm not sold on Kirk, especially on creativity. If you listen to the songs carefully you'll notice that other than his solos Kirk also has a knack for making riffs that truly set the atmosphere to fit the message of the song. Within the pentatonic shape Kirk can play as well as just about anybody.
I guess with James and Burton playing their riffs behind you there's not much reason to learn vibrato, but you need to check his bending man. In the end I guess whatever sounds good goes, and Metallica sounds better than epic.
It's no fact. I don't like many genres but I'm also not a guy to hate any. it's always confusing to see fans of different types of music hate on other music because of how it compares to their favorite. You like instrumentals, so you can't accept the fact that a guitarist from an actual successful band could be any good on his own. That's why you can't accept Kirk Hammett as the talented guitarist that he is and accept him as a the better of Steve Vai. I'm still a fan of Steve Vai though.
What are you talking abouuut? I love Mettallica :@ And I didn't said Kirk sucked, I just said Steve Vai is better, and he is. You can't compare Kirks work to Steve's work.
I like solos too and that's mostly what i meant by instrumentals. All I'm saying is that if Kirk ever decides to go out there and rip out a crazy solo you wouldn't be thinking Vai is better.
Steve Vai can play faster, but that has no bearing on who is better. Frankly, they're equals. Each has a separate style and "better" is up to each individual's musical preference.
You're right, but I'm not talking about who plays faster :P I like all guitar styles, but what steve vai plays is my favorite style, because of how easily he can express his feeling through the guitar
actually he's not going going against everyones opinions. Jimi Hendrix may have been the most influential guitarist, but to say he is the best or anywhere near the best is just damn ignorant. and Kirk Hammet is EXTREMELY overrated, he is definately an amateaur. oh and btw, Kirk hammet has only made 1 riff for metallica, which was enter sandman. Kirk has never played anything out of the pentatonic shape, still has no vibrato, and is extremely sloppy but covers it up with his wah wah pedal
I don't care much for Jimi anyway. Calling Kirk an amateur is not only retarded, but also pointless. I mean, on what basis do you draw your criticisms. Your comment sounds like you slapped a group of guesses together and put on on display.
group of guesseS? those are actual flaws in kirks playing, Kirk is extremely overrated and no where near a professional. you thinking that kirk is good is retarded as well.
You say they're actual flaws, but what are you basing your theories on? Your Ears? they have no credibility whatsoever. Kirk is not only a professional, he is a legend and one of the greatest. What do you think of Metallica?
are you a retard? they are based on watching his technique in countless live videos, ACTUALLY KNOWING HOW TO PLAY GUITAR, knowing music theory, and tons of other sources. and even if it was with my ears, what's wrong with them? your ears are your greatest tool in guitar playing, when you know how to use them. ask countless professionals, paul gilbert, yngwie malmsteen, jason becker, etc. and speaking of ears, kirk hammet can't improvise for shit. which is something that relies heavily on ears
Well, I've seen a ton of Metallica vids and know that they never show Kirk close enough to analyze his technique. Music theory, is really a bunch of crap. Also, you know im not asking anyone about ears. As for improvisation, have you ever been to a Metallica concert. If not, you should go to one and watch Kirk put together improvised 20 minute solos. If you have, then you know what im talking about.
metallica was my favorite band for many years, and i have seen literally thousands of metallica videos, so i actually have studied his technique. his vibrato is just god awful. and music theory a bunch of crap? wow, no wonder you kirk hammet fans are so ignorant and blindly follow him. and i don't give a shit how long his improv is, they are still horrible. just look up the video, "how to look like you know how to play guitar on youtube" it basically shows kirk hammets style, and how crap it is
dude now your just becoming desperate for anything to say. success has nothing to do with musical talent, at all. if it does, does that mean that britney spears is more talented than kirk hammet? or the jonas brothers? or lil wayne? please dude, just stop. your embarrasing yourself. and the only reason why he is big at all is because of metallica, which btw, james is the main songwriter of the band and the reason why they are big
Kirk and Metallica are much more successful than all the artists you named. Musical talent translates into success if you are talking about metal. Seriously though, i would listen more attentively if 5/6 of your comments didn't sound unreliable and completely made up.
trust me, nothing what i said is completely made up. really, i'm surprised you haven't heard some of the stuff i have already said. and in metal, that doens't mean shit either. success doesn't correlate in musical talent, and shouldn't but retards like you think it does
yes you are. you are scraping the barrel for anything to say to back up your precious little kirk hammet, when you really have no credibility at all. and don't tell me i don't, because if you honestly think i'm the only one to say this, then you obviously have a lot to learn. also, if you think he's good in the first place, you also either have never played guitar, or played for a relatively short while
my credibility is the knowledge about guitar, music theory, and what's right and wrong. and the support of thousands of other guitarists who think kirk is extremely overrated. i used to think kirk hammet was a god at guitar, until 8 months of playing guitar. Kirk hammet is just an ameateur who got big. end of story
how do i know that your knowledge of the guitar is reliable? look, there are thousands of haters for just about every great guitarist. There are Kirk haters, Steve Vai haters, even Slash haters. trust me I've argued with all of them and they all try to convince me that the artist in question is overrated and sucks. plus, he didn't just make it big, he made it bigger than just about everyone, except maybe Michael Jackson. Is it possible to make it that big on luck? i doubt it.
usually the only Vai haters are rabid Yngwie fans. but sorry to break it to you, slash is pretty overrated too. and Kirk Hammet didn't make it big, metallica did. so that's why everyone thinks lars is the greatest drummer of all time, that's why everyone thinks kirk hammet is the best guitarist in the world, etc. Kirk Hammet could NEVER make it as a solo artist. i guarantee that for sure
Well, you don't like Kirk or Slash and I guess you're not a big fan of Vai. I'm floored. Kirk can make it as a solo artist like Vai not like Jimi, he can make it.
don't make assumptions, because look at the first 3 letters. ASS. don't assume i'm not a big fan of Vai, Vai is one of my all time favorites, along with Jason becker, Marty friedman, Shawn Lane, Kiko Louriero, and Jeff Loomis. and no kirk couldn't make it. kirk is one of the most repetitive guitarists in the world. he does the same descending triplet pattern in EVERY SOLO.
creeping death, fade to black, blackened, the four horseman..... you name it
If you're a fan of Vai, then why don't you like Kirk or Slash. I didn't make an assumption, I took a guess. He does the same pattern in a Handful of solos but that is far from being the same solo. He could make it.
because vai has amazing technical skills that he knows how to incorporate with emotion to make something unique. same thing with Jason Becker and Marty Friedman and that is why they are my favorite guitarists. Kirk and Slash, although they may be able to make some emotional solos, don't have the technical skill, creativity, or originality to make it as solo artists. i mean, kirk has only made 1 riff for metallica, and you thinking he could make it solo is just retarded, sorry
no they are not. they are just basic blues scale 101. nothing special about them at all. if you want special guitarists, once again, listen to jason becker, marty friedman, shawn lane, paul gilbert, steve vai, and so on. you act as if i know nothing about them at all. just to clarify, when i first started playing guitar, my idol was kirk hammet. i thought he was a guitar god. i liked slash, but not nearly as much as kirk. but then i found out how much of a hack he is. you will too
oh but as far as listening, i still listen to metallica. i mean, fade to black is one of my all time favorite songs. i don't admire them as guitar virtuosos or anything though
he is a good player walshy. there is plenty of room for improvement, but the man knows his way around the fretboard. maybe not an a+, but a pass mark.
no, i honestly don't think that he passes an A. i really suck at ratings, so I couldn't give you an honest opinion on what i think he would be. but i believe only the best of the best could reach an A, like Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Rusty Cooley, Jeff Loomis, Paul Gilbert, etc.
@musician4 and i will admit, i was talking a lot of trash about him, which was unnecessary. Although i never pay attention to him or his music anymore, he was the one who got me to start playing guitar in the first place. without him, i wouldn't be playing at all. although I may find him extremely overrated now, i have to respect him because without him I would not be playing at all
alright then, i was trying to be mature, but you've given me no choice. Kirk is one of the most mediocre "Professional" Guitarists i have ever seen. he lacks creativety, playing on the same scale his whole career and his foot is stuck to his wah pedal.
I think this is such a great cover. Not exactly the same because kirk is not the exact same guitarists, which makes this version so special. It has kirks own twist.

well, i tend to hate on guitarists everyone likes, and most kirk fans know nothing about guitar, so i bash on them and kirk. jimi was ahead of his time and started basically everything, but compared to guys now, hes an amateur. and kirk, he has no creativity, cant bend, cant do vibrato, cant play anything out of the pentatonic shape, he has some great solos, but the rhythms james does behind them makes it kinda simple to make an epic solo over if you get my drift. but anyways, yeah...
guitarclaydo 2 years ago
I kinda feel the same way about Jimi, but i just thought that if people liked him so much that he had to be talented even if i couldn't hear it. But I'm not sold on Kirk, especially on creativity. If you listen to the songs carefully you'll notice that other than his solos Kirk also has a knack for making riffs that truly set the atmosphere to fit the message of the song. Within the pentatonic shape Kirk can play as well as just about anybody.
ManikMan3 2 years ago 2
I guess with James and Burton playing their riffs behind you there's not much reason to learn vibrato, but you need to check his bending man. In the end I guess whatever sounds good goes, and Metallica sounds better than epic.

Steve Vai>Kirk Hammet ;P

wrong.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
It's a fact, buddy. Face it.
Mexicanito 2 years ago
It's no fact. I don't like many genres but I'm also not a guy to hate any. it's always confusing to see fans of different types of music hate on other music because of how it compares to their favorite. You like instrumentals, so you can't accept the fact that a guitarist from an actual successful band could be any good on his own. That's why you can't accept Kirk Hammett as the talented guitarist that he is and accept him as a the better of Steve Vai. I'm still a fan of Steve Vai though.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
What are you talking abouuut? I love Mettallica :@ And I didn't said Kirk sucked, I just said Steve Vai is better, and he is. You can't compare Kirks work to Steve's work.
Mexicanito 2 years ago
I don't like an specific genre, I just love guitar solos. But what I like in guitar solos is the melody, and how clearly they express a feeling.
Mexicanito 2 years ago
I like solos too and that's mostly what i meant by instrumentals. All I'm saying is that if Kirk ever decides to go out there and rip out a crazy solo you wouldn't be thinking Vai is better.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
I would. :|
Mexicanito 2 years ago
alright dude,we like like'em both but you prefer Vai, i prefer Hammett, can we leave it at that?
ManikMan3 2 years ago
Steve Vai can play faster, but that has no bearing on who is better. Frankly, they're equals. Each has a separate style and "better" is up to each individual's musical preference.
keithj1992 2 years ago
You're right, but I'm not talking about who plays faster :P I like all guitar styles, but what steve vai plays is my favorite style, because of how easily he can express his feeling through the guitar
Mexicanito 2 years ago
Agreed, i prefer Vai's style over Hammett's. They're different guitarists, neither being necessarily better than the other.
keithj1992 2 years ago
actually he's not going going against everyones opinions. Jimi Hendrix may have been the most influential guitarist, but to say he is the best or anywhere near the best is just damn ignorant. and Kirk Hammet is EXTREMELY overrated, he is definately an amateaur. oh and btw, Kirk hammet has only made 1 riff for metallica, which was enter sandman. Kirk has never played anything out of the pentatonic shape, still has no vibrato, and is extremely sloppy but covers it up with his wah wah pedal
walshy0001 2 years ago
I don't care much for Jimi anyway. Calling Kirk an amateur is not only retarded, but also pointless. I mean, on what basis do you draw your criticisms. Your comment sounds like you slapped a group of guesses together and put on on display.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
group of guesseS? those are actual flaws in kirks playing, Kirk is extremely overrated and no where near a professional. you thinking that kirk is good is retarded as well.
walshy0001 2 years ago
@walshy0001 plz no offenses
safado192935957 2 years ago
You say they're actual flaws, but what are you basing your theories on? Your Ears? they have no credibility whatsoever. Kirk is not only a professional, he is a legend and one of the greatest. What do you think of Metallica?
ManikMan3 2 years ago
are you a retard? they are based on watching his technique in countless live videos, ACTUALLY KNOWING HOW TO PLAY GUITAR, knowing music theory, and tons of other sources. and even if it was with my ears, what's wrong with them? your ears are your greatest tool in guitar playing, when you know how to use them. ask countless professionals, paul gilbert, yngwie malmsteen, jason becker, etc. and speaking of ears, kirk hammet can't improvise for shit. which is something that relies heavily on ears
walshy0001 2 years ago
and i do in fact like metallica, i just think they are overrated
walshy0001 2 years ago
Well, I've seen a ton of Metallica vids and know that they never show Kirk close enough to analyze his technique. Music theory, is really a bunch of crap. Also, you know im not asking anyone about ears. As for improvisation, have you ever been to a Metallica concert. If not, you should go to one and watch Kirk put together improvised 20 minute solos. If you have, then you know what im talking about.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
metallica was my favorite band for many years, and i have seen literally thousands of metallica videos, so i actually have studied his technique. his vibrato is just god awful. and music theory a bunch of crap? wow, no wonder you kirk hammet fans are so ignorant and blindly follow him. and i don't give a shit how long his improv is, they are still horrible. just look up the video, "how to look like you know how to play guitar on youtube" it basically shows kirk hammets style, and how crap it is
walshy0001 2 years ago
Kirk has all his success to back him up, your argument is only your insignificant opinion.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
dude now your just becoming desperate for anything to say. success has nothing to do with musical talent, at all. if it does, does that mean that britney spears is more talented than kirk hammet? or the jonas brothers? or lil wayne? please dude, just stop. your embarrasing yourself. and the only reason why he is big at all is because of metallica, which btw, james is the main songwriter of the band and the reason why they are big
walshy0001 2 years ago
Kirk and Metallica are much more successful than all the artists you named. Musical talent translates into success if you are talking about metal. Seriously though, i would listen more attentively if 5/6 of your comments didn't sound unreliable and completely made up.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
trust me, nothing what i said is completely made up. really, i'm surprised you haven't heard some of the stuff i have already said. and in metal, that doens't mean shit either. success doesn't correlate in musical talent, and shouldn't but retards like you think it does
walshy0001 2 years ago
Of-course it does.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
just stop. your embarrassing yourself
walshy0001 2 years ago
No Im not.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
yes you are. you are scraping the barrel for anything to say to back up your precious little kirk hammet, when you really have no credibility at all. and don't tell me i don't, because if you honestly think i'm the only one to say this, then you obviously have a lot to learn. also, if you think he's good in the first place, you also either have never played guitar, or played for a relatively short while
walshy0001 2 years ago
My credibility is his success. what's your credibility? i didn't say Kirk is the greatest, but i am saying he is a professional and a legend.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
@ManikMan3
my credibility is the knowledge about guitar, music theory, and what's right and wrong. and the support of thousands of other guitarists who think kirk is extremely overrated. i used to think kirk hammet was a god at guitar, until 8 months of playing guitar. Kirk hammet is just an ameateur who got big. end of story
walshy0001 2 years ago
how do i know that your knowledge of the guitar is reliable? look, there are thousands of haters for just about every great guitarist. There are Kirk haters, Steve Vai haters, even Slash haters. trust me I've argued with all of them and they all try to convince me that the artist in question is overrated and sucks. plus, he didn't just make it big, he made it bigger than just about everyone, except maybe Michael Jackson. Is it possible to make it that big on luck? i doubt it.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
usually the only Vai haters are rabid Yngwie fans. but sorry to break it to you, slash is pretty overrated too. and Kirk Hammet didn't make it big, metallica did. so that's why everyone thinks lars is the greatest drummer of all time, that's why everyone thinks kirk hammet is the best guitarist in the world, etc. Kirk Hammet could NEVER make it as a solo artist. i guarantee that for sure
walshy0001 2 years ago
Well, you don't like Kirk or Slash and I guess you're not a big fan of Vai. I'm floored. Kirk can make it as a solo artist like Vai not like Jimi, he can make it.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
@ManikMan3
don't make assumptions, because look at the first 3 letters. ASS. don't assume i'm not a big fan of Vai, Vai is one of my all time favorites, along with Jason becker, Marty friedman, Shawn Lane, Kiko Louriero, and Jeff Loomis. and no kirk couldn't make it. kirk is one of the most repetitive guitarists in the world. he does the same descending triplet pattern in EVERY SOLO.
creeping death, fade to black, blackened, the four horseman..... you name it
walshy0001 2 years ago
If you're a fan of Vai, then why don't you like Kirk or Slash. I didn't make an assumption, I took a guess. He does the same pattern in a Handful of solos but that is far from being the same solo. He could make it.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
@ManikMan3
because vai has amazing technical skills that he knows how to incorporate with emotion to make something unique. same thing with Jason Becker and Marty Friedman and that is why they are my favorite guitarists. Kirk and Slash, although they may be able to make some emotional solos, don't have the technical skill, creativity, or originality to make it as solo artists. i mean, kirk has only made 1 riff for metallica, and you thinking he could make it solo is just retarded, sorry
walshy0001 2 years ago
Your views on Slash and Kirk are ridiculous.
ManikMan3 2 years ago
@ManikMan3
no they are not. they are just basic blues scale 101. nothing special about them at all. if you want special guitarists, once again, listen to jason becker, marty friedman, shawn lane, paul gilbert, steve vai, and so on. you act as if i know nothing about them at all. just to clarify, when i first started playing guitar, my idol was kirk hammet. i thought he was a guitar god. i liked slash, but not nearly as much as kirk. but then i found out how much of a hack he is. you will too
walshy0001 2 years ago

he is a good player walshy. there is plenty of room for improvement, but the man knows his way around the fretboard. maybe not an a+, but a pass mark.

no, i honestly don't think that he passes an A. i really suck at ratings, so I couldn't give you an honest opinion on what i think he would be. but i believe only the best of the best could reach an A, like Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Rusty Cooley, Jeff Loomis, Paul Gilbert, etc.
walshy0001 1 year ago
@musician4 and i will admit, i was talking a lot of trash about him, which was unnecessary. Although i never pay attention to him or his music anymore, he was the one who got me to start playing guitar in the first place. without him, i wouldn't be playing at all. although I may find him extremely overrated now, i have to respect him because without him I would not be playing at all

alright then, i was trying to be mature, but you've given me no choice. Kirk is one of the most mediocre "Professional" Guitarists i have ever seen. he lacks creativety, playing on the same scale his whole career and his foot is stuck to his wah pedal.
