Randall Kirk Hammett Signature Amp

[jujolito1]

lol .l. -.-



[dg082306]

whenever i feel bad about my guitar playing, i watch this tool. hilarious... and shitty technique, too. thanks, i needed a pick me up!

[clownfish51]

After 30+ years of thrashing on a thousand guitars. I just need to quit. Metalica's guitarist's have stunned me shitless. They suck sooo bad, ALL my students, Band members, etc.

Openly MOCK YOU ...MENTALICA, (sorry for the typo*.*) sound like a bunch of angry bees fucking in a coffee can. I await your praises and somewhat pissed-off replies. I've got a light day. Bring it, I THINK I can take it.....*.*

jesus christ....are you all for real?.......sadly, yes

[xcmhx]

@clownfish51 someone put this back in it's cage...

[smileyman455]

Kirk can't even keep up with what James is playing, I doubt he designed an entire amp. What a crock of shit, and it sounds terrible

[DonnieYen91]

@smileyman455 you fucking shit ... kirk before metallica he played in exodus ...and exodus is much more heavyer and hard to play than metallica...

[tmm10811]

It's so funny how people get hard rock tones outta metal amps

[tom06081996]

1:28, that's the moment you don't want the amp anymore......Like he says, it's LIKE a fender tone.....it isn't and it never will be.....

maybe cause of legel reasons,

that sucks, if you buy this amp, you have a sound close to kirks and you are not allowed to play metallica for legel reasons.....

[Guitardude81597]

why cant he play metallica stuff? i understand for the copy right reasons but what are the reasons that would make it illegial if he did play metallica's stuff?

[tom06081996]

@Guitardude81597 It's easy (i think).... Metallica doesn't want anyone else to play their music (for free) because they want money for it.... I think that's bullshit in this case, cause this is a fakking Hammett sign...

btw, Metallica sucks, Megadeth is way better!

[CraSSiou]

@tom06081996 TROLOLOLOLO

[DaveyMurray1]

@tom06081996

And Anvil kicks all their asses.

[Macsk8ing]

Sounds like shit.

[MegaSony3]

@Macsk8ing are u special?

[Macsk8ing]

@MegaSony3 are u a faggot?



[TheEternalLeader]

Why does it sound so muffled ?!?! I guess it's because I'm not on my computer but whatever.

[21otakugirl]

@Betonification he's probably one of the most versatile guitarists, I'd like to see you do better

[imemine5]

@17solstice That is the one thing I dislike about the GW gear vids...I would think that Kirk (as one example here) would LOVE for him to introduce his amp to a HUGE market of GW subscribers in exchange for being able to cover some Metallica songs. Oh well. :-)

[chapitrilfo]

It sounds like shit

[ermonski]

well, can it go up to 11?

[Nugromant]

They can't play any riff because of Copyright !!!

No pueden tocar el mismo riff a causa de el estupido Copyright

[RandyRhoadsFan11]

what guitar is that?

[zwolinux]

@RandyRhoadsFan11 ESP Eclipse Snow White

[Bobby59]

ALOT OF HATERS ON YOUTUBE.

[runelink2]

1:56 random powerchords

[Symphox85]

PERO TOCALO BIEN ENTER SANDMAN YO TE DEJO!!!!

[TCreationGtr1603]

He even has kirk hammett's whiny voice.

[augusrockhouse23]

I dunno if it is the guitar but this sounds like shit

[MetaITV]

what they should of done was have all the tones from all there albums.

[YashKirkDaveFan]

i wanna combine this amp with the dave mustaine signature cabs, kirk's crybaby and dave's new zoom multi-fx pedal, KIILER TONE

[OffishellHK]

@DmirtyDaren kirk did use randall amps, he swapped a while ago. why else would he have a signature amp with randall?

[96lolstar]

@595michael595 just buy a pedal

[agentcamo]

Kirks amp sucks

[Cyanide5151]

the cheapest looking foot controller ive ever seen

[JimmyF95]

I want a Dave Mustaine signature amp...

[DmitryDaren]

what the fuck, kirk never used randall. and it does sound different. 

[96lolstar]

@DmitryDaren His first amp was a Randall and i saw Metallica rehearsal vid and he uses that amp!

[TheLowermen]

sandman , the "legal-reasons" version

[Metalhead121396]

modified version of the song is so much better

[Metalhead121396]

modified version is so much better

[miko589]

I want this.

[jordanhante]

wtf it sounds like hes playing through a can

[Heineken1712]

i don't really dig metallica'S sound nowadays. the guitar sound was sick on the justice album and on black album imo

[slipknotgogeta]

sandmna FAIL

[SavageDutchman]

@slipknotgogeta he changed it up so he doesn't get sued by metallica empire and record companies.

[MetalInstrumentals]

@slipknotgogeta Comment FAIL

[brioshell]

@slipknotgogeta typing FAIL.

[xJustynLx]

@17solstice

That's okay. Its not like Kirk can play it either xP

[deah70]

nice but i would much rather have a hetfield sig. to bad theres not one.

[Knife40]

@17solstice Yeah.... Guitar World you will be next napster.

[Metallica666Thrash]

LOL the first demo is his version of Enter Sandman :P

[MrHakkiz]

@Metallica666Thrash it sounds a bit false

[kristofreynders]

the KH 2 preamp model sounds horrible !

[dg082306]

@kristofreynders the module itself isn't bad, my buddy has it. his playing on the other hand, offends the eyes as well as the ears

[gojirason]

@Metallica666Thrash cuz he cant play the exact thing cuz of copyright shit, so he has to variate it obviously.

[Satansbitch101]

kirk would never use that much middle

[MrDohmah]

most amps are black....

[xerox9800]

the sound is a copy of enter sadman

[coasterfreak5928]

@17solstice o okay I was wondering why it it kept sounding like he was trying to play Metallica songs and failing.

[mysterik234]

@17solstice care box...

[SoleMetal2518]

@MetallicaRockz55 yes he uses the head onstage along with his wah pedal

[MetallicaRockz55]

@SoleMetal2518 Oh cool

[96lolstar]

@MetallicaRockz55 Yeah

[zoneforgamers]

sounds awesome

[Cerberuselite]

If he'd had started the review with "fuck lars" and busted out some enter sandman, id have positively LOL'd

[ThatGuyWith8Strings]

Wow, I didnt think of that, thanks for the correction

[ThatGuyWith8Strings]

@tiberiusize

[ThatGuyWith8Strings]

He played enter sandman incorrectly...

[Tiberiusize]

@ThatGuyWith8Strings

he can't play any of the songs correctly for legal reasons (if he does, they can get sued up their ass)

[luistijerina]

Why is Kurt from Glee doing guitar demos?

[MrMegadeth131da]

@luistijerina why are u watching glee?

[kanalR3DX]

LINE 6 RULEZ

[razmossis]

I'm sorry, but that amp sounded like balls, fair enough the clean tone was nice but that gain sound was weak ass

[richogem]

@razmossis you hear it through a camera? :|

[razmossis]

@richogem It shouldn't matter, you can get a decent representation of guitar sounds through most things these days, i mean check out this video /watch?v=TmOQ1tt22q8 this IS the metallica sound... recorded with a video camera

[richogem]

@razmossis well... if you raise the treble and mids by 2, or 3 you get a better sound for sure

it does sound a little dim but still, video camera makes it even worst.

[buymeamic]

Randall is still producing terrible sounding sh[t and seems they don't care.

[VlaDuZa]

lol Kirk participated in the making of this amp and it's sounds as much as Dave Mustaine participated in the writing of the Black Album.

[ElGbayRGX]

Nice amp and amazing playning as always !!!!!!!

[chickabuka]

People can be harsh judging these days sounds good, he gets the point across, there arent many metallica you tube lessons out there just check.

[mac13ane]

1:28 - 1:45 was that supposed to be enter sandman :I

[lesbianseegullmaster]

@mac13ane yeah but he cant play copywrited songs

[BLStribute]

@mac13ane You should see the video where he's playing don't cry by guns n' roses on a dean dime from hell. 2 words for that attempt. EPIC FAIL!

[otishaywater]

ya play something weve heard about a billions times!!!

[aidanrockstar]

This guy can play!

[ShredderBenjamin]

Dont know wy people are moaning about the riffage... Maybe he's not allowed to play actual metallica riffs for legal reasons...

[cjalmighty]

@ShredderBenjamin Yes, guitar world cannot play real riffs of any band for some stupid copyright reason. Check out the videos featuring the adrian smith and dave murray guitars on guitar world, it's prety dumb

[Rockerboy3872]

Paul shreds like a beast, but his riffs are terrible

[Elluen]

FUCK THAT GAY!

[brando18guitarplyr]

every thing he plays looks a bit like Metallica XD

[ImmortalDestructor]

Signature products are a cash-grab and it's likely the artist doesn't even play it! Sure you will get a good sound out of it but so will other products at half the price. If you buy used (which you should) you will find it even cheaper than that!

[TheGuitarstation1]

play some metallica chump!!!

[coltsuperocean10]

@TheGuitarstation1 ....not the brightest are you? This is a review that goes out on a Magazine DVD hence, he is not allowed to play original Metallica material because of copyright infringement!! If you watch other Guitar World product reviews the music played by the reviewer is just so slightly different to the original artists music to get around this copyright law. Hope that answers your question chump?

[TheGuitarstation1]

@coltsuperocean10 ok fair enough

[Langtw]

The exterior is blacker than the blackest black times infinity.

[K3NxRaiNsxBl00d]

perfect guitar perfect amp \M/

[666RiffsOfDeth666]

mesa all the way kirk got his sound from mesa NOT randall!

THIS AMP COMES WITH A CASE OF FREE WAH PEDALS!

[guitarpicknick]

@666RiffsOfDeth666 actually no he didn't he got his original sound from a Marshall.

[666RiffsOfDeth666]

@guitarpicknick i know that but kirk didnt get his true sound until he joined mesa

[guitarpicknick]

@666RiffsOfDeth666 yeah good point :).

[tokojojiji]

is this tube or ss?

[yummpyummp]

this or Mesa??

[M1R2A1N]

@yummpyummp i thing Mesa is better

[sk8rifa]

@yummpyummp Mesa for sure! Mesa Boogie MArk IIC is the real Metallica classic sound

[joeysixtysix]

Does it come with auto mess ups and constant waaaa waaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaa waaaaaaa just like hammet's real playing? Everyone wants a signature amp from a guy who blows at guitar HAHAA.

[Sulfur183]

@joeysixtysix Stfu and stop hating Kirk plays a helluva lot better than you im sure!

[Hotdog40404040404]

play 0:36 over and over

[TheGreensuperman]

@Hotdog40404040404 lmao sounds like a robot "amp module has the standard gain"

[Hotdog40404040404]

@TheGreensuperman amp modu-ampmodu-ampmodu-ampmodu-a­mp--stfu lol

[AugustBurnsMe]

this is a esp ltd ec-1000 right ?

[RigorMortis203]

@AugustBurnsMe Yes it is : ) one of my favourite guitars ever.

[AugustBurnsMe]

@RigorMortis203 how much does it cost ?

[RigorMortis203]

@AugustBurnsMe Depends i'm from Portugal, but if you are on USA check out on Guitar Center, but if you live in Europe i totally advise you to buy that guitar on Thomann, but one thing i have to say, it's expensive, if you don't have the money to buy that guitar, t

[RigorMortis203]

@AugustBurnsMe Depends i'm from Portugal, but if you are on USA check out on Guitar Center, but if you live in Europe i totally advise you to buy that guitar on Thomann, but one thing i have to say, it's expensive, if you don't have the money to buy that guitar, try to see LTD guitars (it's cheaper and it's part of ESP) Hope i've helped

[AugustBurnsMe]

@RigorMortis203 oh yeah thank you ...

i love that guitar and just want to have it ^^

[accadacca100]

I wan't a James Hetfield signature amp

[RigorMortis203]

@accadacca100 amen

[guitarsbunch347]

@accadacca100 mesa boogie triple rectifier my friend.

[236987451]

@accadacca100 There is... Its called Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier :P

[hatekillripstab671]

@accadacca100 there may be a need for a james hetfield amp but that doesn't remove the fact that want does not have an apostraphe in it..........i love annoying people.....

[mwells15]

@accadacca100 All you need is a Diezel, dude.

That and/or a mesa boogie. Both are badass.

[KrilleBoyz]

@accadacca100 Then buy a MESA Boogie Head. :)

[roadifier]

@accadacca100 Get the triaxis and a 295

[Death66reaper6]

@accadacca100 they can't make one. it would be too awesome for the world to handle. he's pushing it by using signature pickups. if they made a hetfield signature amp, the earth would collapse in on itself

[SmackdownVsRawcmpunk]

i understand the legal reasons and all but they should be able to do the main riff's of Metallica songs for people who play Metallica and are thinking of buying a good amp. And that Enter Sandman rendition kicked ass

[xcrossfire225x]

it sounds like enter sandman

[JiggerBooWigger]

Too much lows which isn't good when mixed with a bass guitar...sounds muffled, the mids are crushed, this Amp stinks

[fahredinn]

can i play on an amp without a cabinet ??

[Odinsgade]

@fahredinn

No, but you can buy a combo amp.

Amp and cabinet in one box.

[dimlightbulb10]

Kirk actually has a pretty crappy tone. The tone James has is over 10x better. Crisp distortion and heavenly clean.

[TrebleWizard]

sounds like shit

[wolfman109h]

kirk doesnt even use this amp

[96lolstar]

@wolfman109h He uses that

[wolfman109h]

@96lolstar

ok thx

[Arvains]

wtf...this amp is complete shit...sorry, but THAT SOUND mudd!!!

[VlaDuZa]

This amp is ok.. but I expected more from Kirk.

Metallica's Mesa Boogie amps (which they used during the Black Album era, and I think sound the best) were way better than this Randall.

[Ubermetalhed]

Pretty average amp, much like Kirk as a guitar player nowadays.

[aktivvisit204]

this guy play fantastic . who's that???? wheres he comes from?

[MattKondrath]

hahahaha he was playing like, metallica songs except retarded

[studiobuddy]

sounds like shit and overpriced

[Jerrymonyor]

@studiobuddy fuck you

[kohy1990]

@studiobuddy Yes, I agree.. I'm realy loving Kirk's stuff, but you can get a lot more better amps for a lot more better prices...

[GuitarHeroJeremy9]

GREAT! now the only things u need is his signature guitar and wah.

[pie5797]

@GuitarHeroJeremy9 gotta love that Crybaby

[shadowriser22]

I'm getting a new amp, WOULD BE AWESOME TO GET THIS :D!!! but is it really $10,000???

[ZebrasFromHell]

@shadowriser22 Nah not even I think it`s around like $800 or $700

[sk8erboy398]

If ur gonna play metallica at least play it right.

[AcousticTransmission]

@sk8erboy398 im sure he would if he could, you obviously dont know about legal issues with music.

[Wojteo92]

enter sandman fail :D

[xxa411xx]

For the low price of $10,000 I heard......

[philbio66]

@xxa411xx

lol

[Macsk8ing]

Crazy ass, when I have the money to buy a ferrarri I'll buy one of these also.

[Pianoblacks]

all of guitarworld's video sounds super compressed whats with that

[metalrhoads]

it's not kirk hammet's tone

(it lacks a wah pedal)

[t0psecretshit]

carly fiorinas face is annoying

[mitchbowes2010]

a master volume a master density control a master presence but wheres the master of puppets

[squirttilithurts]

I heard that Kirk only uses this amp for cleans when playing live. I think he uses the Diezel VH4 for all the distorted stuff. Is this correct?

[boeymei]

@squirttilithurts distorted should be a triple rectifier

[vOuijaa]

@boeymei Dual

[DowntownTB13]

@squirttilithurts no, he uses all kinds, he uses randall, and the diezel for distorted, and mostly randall for clean

[CoolKwstas123]

He cant play any songs of Metallica cuz of the shitty copyrights. So he plays something close to Sandman to let us hear the sound we would have.

[gonerongdotcom]

dose anyone no how much all of dat would cost? i mean everyting except his guitar

[MegaGuitarforlife]

@gonerongdotcom around 5000$ i gues, with all those effects and inclusive the recording material ..

[vegetajk]

he have skills

[Bluemoon4655]

i guess he isnt allowed to play copyrighted songs like the real enter sandman, and not something that sounds like it

[amicoolyetno46]

WANA PLAY A METALLICA SONG FAG?

[mickiew4]

@amicoolyetno46 because of some copyright bullshit he cant play metallica's shit. it was the same when he demo'd the randy rhoads stack

[amicoolyetno46]

@mickiew4 awww gay :(

[arva300178]

The almost enter sandman riff was pretty cool :)

[oggerocker]

How about play some Metallica riffs?

[LennyGFX]

@oggerocker Do to copyright shit they cant play any metallica riffs.

[FelTurtle]

@marchussilvamgs Black people don't own the colour black.

[thatsthesameoldshit]

@FelTurtle Where the hell are you from spelling the word color with a U

[joseph02251]

@thatsthesameoldshit Because it is the english way



[4Kars]

@thatsthesameoldshit LOL!

[MeLoveBonesTv]

@thatsthesameoldshit I bet Your an American. You guys spell words the lazy way. odor,color,sulfur,catalog, the list goes on...

[thatsthesameoldshit]

@MeLoveBonesTv I'll bet you're from New Zealand not knowing the difference between contractions or positive pronouns when writing a sentence; using your for you're.
