He was amazing 30 years ago. Now, he's the laziest guitarist ever. All of his new solos on the 2 most recent albums sound totally uninspired. Heck, you can switch them around. Him only using the Minor Pentatonic scale isn't even the issue. It's the fact that he's just repeating himself, and that it's obvious how he went into the studio and recorded the most basic licks he could remember. Ffs, look up basic Minor Pentatonic licks on Google. THAT IS PRECISELY what he keeps playing, just at high speeds and with a Wah pedal. Look at Eric Johnson, in comparison, who absolutely knows how to make that (overused) scale sing. Kirk is so lazy. He's no longer "really good". He's mediocre now.

​@@jasongraham4425 learning from james would be preferable, he can solo and he has insane stamina in his right hand. As long as you dont learn drumming from lars, id say Metallica is a pretty ok band to learn from.

That’s why you listen to other bands. Pentatonic is easy to get stuck in so listen to other bands with good leads.

​@@saladhands1127 I learned drumming from lars hahahah. I still do some larsisms but at least I play tighter then him now

All laughs aside, that first solo was super clean

I laughed out loud, well done

Kirk is legend

This is so accurate 😂

It's so accurate lol

It’s like his solo is filled with licks

I dont know why he is criticized, it isn’t like he is trying to copy another guitarrist, it’s his own way of playing and for me it’s what made Metallica’s iconic sound

Hes criticized because he does the same blues licks over and over again in several songs, he isn't creative, and he never made metallica famous, james did with his voice and lyrics

@@Ibol406 Fade To Black outro solo is ten times more meaningful than any solo Dave Mustaine ever wrote. There's a reason Metallica is goated, you people are a joke.

Joe satarini (sorry for misspelling) is solo 1

How I comment on videos vs how I actually comment. 🎸

He said he goes into a recording studio these days without having anything planned, so it's more organic. But he got where he is today BECAUSE he knows how to write a catchy solo. Modern examples are Halo on Fire and Moth Into Flame

@@thor-tas2110 yeah most of his stuff these days is uninspiring and probably lazy, plus his mind has gone from all that weed he smokes. I feel if he had some more lessons with Joe Satriani or went to Marty Friedman he could take the solos in interesting directions. But I guess we should be grateful Metallica are still releasing music.

He can still make a good sounding solos just look at his new solo album. It is lack of motivation that he sucks so much in Metallica. I think he is burned and does not care. The last Metallica album where he recorded new great solos was Garage inc.

@@kkarxnot like he's got any say in his band whatsoever so it's understandable he just shows up for improvised solos and leaves. Seems to be having fun with solo projects and the wedding band.

Im scared to accept how accurate this is

I thought I was the only guy that figured this out!

This made me giggle because i can actually see it 😂😂, the fact he was taught by joe satriani just like steve vai was taught by joe, bugs me. Kirk has so much talent and blows it by spamming his pedals

That’s so true, I remember my dad saying his solos weren’t particularly great or well structured to me when I was younger, it was safe to say I felt outraged. Listening to him play now I’m older (and after improving my guitar playing) it only made me realise how right my dad was. The guy just tremolo picks the same pattern and moves it up and down the same string.

I got into an argument with someone who thought Kirk was insanely better than Mustaine. Lol. Like Kirk is good, no doubt but Mustaine plays all over the place and Kirk kinda sits in the same pocket for his songs. The guy didn't like that. Kirk is more controlled, Mustaine is just playing fast all over with no musicality or anything ... Guy was confused

@UCAHyRZgv98v82nmcIifQ2Qg bro, Dave wrote the majority of the music in his discography. The drums, the rhythm, lead. He can play it all on guitar, no doubt. But Dave has a better command of all the tools required to play his instrument. The only difference being that Kirk can do and does more radio/ ear friendly stuff and Dave kinda needs a bit more of an advanced ear to truly appreciate his playing and song writing. I started on Metallica, love them. Didn't get into Deth until after years. Love Deth, so good. But Mustaine was the leading force. I play guitar. Playing Metallica...a lot of kirks stuff is played the same. Variations on a theme, is what classical music might call it. Dave is all over the fret board. Playing rhythm and solos that are unique. Kirk kind of sounds the sound no matter what. Idk how to describe it

This dude probably wouldn't be playing guitar if it wasn't for metallica
