Kirk Hammett talks about Rush

[FMJHollowPoint]

KIRK HAS SPOKEN: RUSH IS METAL \m/

[erl4nd0]

metallica actually used the riff from tom sawyer in welcome home (sanitarium)

[philradz]

"The High Priestststs". Haha, Kirk.

[shredmaster100]

the guitarist from rush has the same style as kirk hammett so now we know where kirk got his playing style

[LLB9977]

went to Alex's bar in Toronto, awesome dude.

[megatonydeath]

How awesome!

[JackOrion0670]

"Big influence... huge" and yet Metallica is in the RRHOF and Rush isn't?

[Theshiggityshwa]

@JackOrion0670 Rush doesn't want to be in it. They kind of have been interviewed about it.

[Cincinnatus1869]

@JackOrion0670 the difference betwenn a sellout band and a band that does what it wants. Playing what you want and not what the times call for will not get one into the rock hall of fame .

[znogypogy]

@Gcrash95 there's actual people who think rush is gay ? who and where ?

[whitey211]

I was so glad they spent a bit of time on the movie talking about la villa, it's one of my favorite instrumental songs, and my favorite guitar solo for the same reasons Kirk talks about. The intro is just beautifully haunting and the way it builds is just perfect.

[scat4u]

@Gcrash95 awesome

[Galtline14]

@Gcrash95 Just give them time, if they are young and are musicians they will soon find RUSH. If they are not musicians and just metal heads who gives a rats ass.

[mcul2112]

@Gcrash95 your friends are gay.

[oOSignalzOo]

Best part of La Villa Stangiato

[ihatebobsaget1989]

@Gcrash95 i bet they just think it sounds gay because of the higher pitched vocals, you have to take the time to really listen to rush and then you really start to appreciate it, is really starts to grow on you.

[SgtZaqq]

At least 3/4 of Megadeth love Rush too. Just saying.

[163388416]

When it comes to imagination, complexity, quality and most of all uniqueness, Rush is the way to be.

[MrLizardKing96]

@Gcrash95 Hahaha, you don't need to prove Rush to Metallica fans, I mean seriously, would Rush ever release anything as bad as St Anger or that Lulu crap they did with Lou Reed? I don't think so.

[jtmd11]

"The High Priests of Rock and Roll"..and yet still not good enough for the R & R hall of fame??? fuck that gay hall of fame..they can have madonna and run dmc......my hall of fame has Rush at the top of the list.

[iknowmyus3rnamesucks]

@jtmd11 They aren't in the R&R hall of fame because they've stated they absolutely will not accept any sort of invites...

[Mglosk]

@Gcrash95 See I always saw it the opposite way around. I mean metallica is kind of second rate posers. They tried to cover workingman by rush and couldn't even get off the ground. As musicians they are lacking much.

[thetroopermmm]

metallica es metal comercial, metallica es gay, solamente sus 4 primeros albunes fueron buenos lo demas es basura,

larga vida iron maiden y helloween.

Metallica = justin bieber

[Theshiggityshwa]

@thetroopermmm Iron maiden is just as if not more commercial than Metallica, bro.

Metallica=A band worthy of commercial success.

The 80's were cool. The now is far better. Listen to a band called Mastodon for evidence.

BTW, Rush Kicks ass.

[Jellybeantiger]

@Theshiggityshwa Nah,70's prog Seeing Genesis with Gabriel,all those prog bands back then woulda blew my mind.Not to mention seeing Zeppelin and Rush in their heyday.

[krombee]

if only lars was inspired by rush...

[TheFashionbugs]

@krombee I know then Lars' drumming might actually be interesting!

[pkfiya]

@TheFashionbugs if only...

[MetallicaRush101]

Guess who my two favorite bands are.

[GloriaChiever]

Is any real musician who doesn't respect Rush?

[luc00leh]

@GloriaChiever or Maiden, Sabbath, Diamond Head, Judas, Megadeth? I just love heavy metal!

[pkfiya]

@GloriaChiever nope they are logical contradictions.

[zomgoodnessih8u]

@GloriaChiever if they dont, t hey dont know what music even is...

[apacolypseday]

@GloriaChiever that mel dude from the 40's lol

[TheMetallica7x]

@GloriaChiever Rap artists.



[KaGribeiro]

@TheMetallica7x I think she meant REAL artists.

[TheMetallica7x]

@KaGribeiro Good point

[moleman1976]

@GloriaChiever No

[TheRealCritique]

@GloriaChiever I've known musicians who weren't big on the vocals or the style, but noone's ever questioned their musicianship.

I hadn't listened to them for years, and brought up Fly By Night, and was blown away by it all over again. People might diss Rush because they made so much music, and it's not all as good as their best, but their best is damn great.

[tav095]

what song is that?

[gugarhcp]

@tav095 La Villa Strangiato

[philkearney0577]

rush is for people who enjoyed tv shows like tommorows world and krypton factor and enjoyed painting model armys in their bedroom at their mums house when they were well into their 40's

[Tod661]

@philkearney0577 I have never heard of either tv show.....Post somewhere else...I appreciate music.I love Floyd and I love Gabriel,The Who...Beatles nut...I love Rush,their songs make sense

[starXXkiller]

@Gcrash95 DUDE the same shit happens to me ill show em this video

[DBBMino]

@bobmarleyisgod1 Metallica is my favourite band of all time but in all honesty, they don't come close to Rush's epicness.

[folsum53]

To this day Metallica and Rush are some of my favorite bands. Seeing Kirk talk about them like this is just plain awesome.

[superslayerguy]

@Gcrash95 same here brotha!

[bytorbytor2112]

Nice one Kirk.  Your a Dude And RUSH are simply brilliant.

[Mozart1220]

I think it's great to see Hammett do this, but in the same vid, (Beyond the LIghted Stage) Sebastion PUKE also turns up. What is he? A proffesional commentator now that his 15 minutes are up? he shows up in all these docs, like we care what that wannab thinks. Sorry to vent.....

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@Mozart1220 Sebastian Bach? Probably one of the top five rock voices of all time? Look I'm not a huge Skid Row fan myself, but to try to discredit his amazing voice is just insane.

[Mozart1220]

@banklikefrankwhite1 Top five voices of all time? Are you KIDDING? If that were true why doesn't he ever SING? He's a has been from a one hit wonder band. Now he just turns up on everyone elses "tributes" so he can get paid.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@Mozart1220 lol. Whatever you have to tell yourself man. He had more than one hit for one, and for another, he performed and got good reviews on Broadway, where a great voice is sort of a requirement. You don't like their music, fine, that doesn't take away from his great voice. Out of curiosity, did your girl cheat on you with him or something?

[Mozart1220]

@banklikefrankwhite1 MY wife likes men. He's still a teenager. He's a nobody.

[xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx]

@bobmarleyisgod1 No man, I'm serious. I mean, Metallica sucks nowadays but they were the shit back in the 80s.

[luisiko24]

@reSAVAGEGUY Nobody can touch rush !!!!

[xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx]

Kirk Hammett KNOWS his shit, man! For him to compliment Rush's style really speaks because he's an equally epic musician.
