METALLICA's HAMMETT: 'DAVE MUSTAINE Played Fast All The Time. I Play Melodically'

David Fricke of RollingStone.com recently conducted an interview with METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow.

RollingStone.com: You have been working on the new METALLICA album for almost three years. How do you know which riffs and solos to keep and which to throw out?

Kirk: I know whether I'm cutting it or not. And I always try to make a solo the best it can be. I recorded over 100 solos for one track on this album — and the solo is only 25 seconds long [laughs]. But it's apparent when the solo works that it's all there. It's either "Wow!" — or it's not good enough. It's that black-and-white.

RollingStone.com: How would you describe your role in METALLICA's two-guitar sound?

Kirk: James [Hetfield] and I have always been complementary. We've never gotten into guitar squabbles, like a lot of bands with two guitar players do. His approach is primal — rhythmic and percussive. Mine is more technical and fluid. I see the guitar as a bunch of scales and tones. I write riffs and arrange chords to make sure they fit tight harmonically. On a lot of the albums we did in the Nineties, I was doing orchestration, looking for something that fit over a certain part to make it more exciting — a texture, a chord, a little lick here, a chug there. We've strayed from that. We've gotten back to the one-voice guitar thing we did in the Eighties. The album we're working on now is about METALLICA as a single thing — a locomotive coming to mow you down.

RollingStone.com: Is there a solo on the early albums that was a breakthrough in your playing?

Kirk: When the other guys heard the solos on "Creeping Death" and "Ride the Lightning" [both on 1984's "Ride the Lightning"], it was a different aspect of soloing than they were used to. [Original lead guitarist] Dave Mustaine played fast all the time. I play melodically. And I play parts, different sections that make the solo as hooky as possible. Although I've always been very flashy. I admit it.

RollingStone.com: How did you write the riff in "Enter Sandman" [on 1991's "Metallica"]? It's up there in instant recognition with "Smoke on the Water" and "Whole Lotta Love".

Kirk: My friend has a guitar store, and there is a big sign in there that says "No Enter Sandman" [laughs]. SOUNDGARDEN had just put out "Louder Than Love". I was trying to capture their attitude toward big, heavy riffs. It was two o'clock in the morning. I put it on tape and didn't think about it. When [drummer] Lars [Ulrich] heard the riff, he said, "That's really great. But repeat the first part four times." It was that suggestion that made it even more hooky.

Вот заливает, а!!!! А не наооборот ли Mustane играет мелодично, а ты пилишь как на пилораме, Kirk???

мелодичные соло например у Diablo, Arch Enemy, у Megadeth времен Marty Friedman'a.
А "киркуша" и правда любит пилить, но он как-то делает это красиво и всегда к месту. Даже упрекнуть его соло невчем. красафчег одним словом)))

А вы мудаки)

Хм...по моему Mustane в общем плане более сильный гитарист, чем Hammett. А если учитывать последние 15 лет игры Хамета, то он тогда воще Дэйву, даж в подмётки негодится...Ну как говорится: сам себя непохвалишь, никто непохвалит))) Странно, что Mustane хоть и самолюбивый чел, но и то так часто неговорит о своём гитарном таланте, так как Kirk)))))
Anton from-T у Megadeth и до и после Friedman'a, было полно интересных гитарных моментов, просто пик популярности этой группы был именно при Friedman'е!

MitchLucker - быдло

Так и преставляю Кирка по-царски сидящего в кресле и покуривающим сигару))) Не верю, что он так соло и впрямь оттачивает по мелодике...

ImmortalTim +1

Что вы на Кирка взъелись, а народ? Хотите поспорить, что его соло идут к месту? Попробуйте сделать лучше... Суть в том, что Метла меняла стиль от альбома к альбому (пиком трэша признан ...And Justice For All к примеру), а вы судите все в рамках одного стиля. Эт неправильно. Не буду споить насчет Мастейна, но сравнивать двух гитаристов все равно сложно и не очень-то благодарно. И откуда вам знать, как Кирк пишет соло?! Мож он и не заливает...

У Arch Enemy мелодичное? Да у них там хроматизмов! А вот соло Хэтфилда действительно мелодичные!
