Ok heres One hell of a guitar-off

[MetalThrasher442]

Scott Ian Vs. Kirk Hammit

 

[The_Great_WV_Trendkill]

It's Hammet

and my pick is Scott

and my pick is Scott

yeah me too

 

[\m/Antisocial\m/]

Hammett hides behind the Wah Wah too much, Ian would destroy him.

 

[among_the_dead]

well since kirk is a lead guitarist and scott is a rythm guitarist the question is impossible to answer.

Kirk is(WAS)a good lead player.
Scott is a brilliant rythm player.



Rob Arnold of Chimaira will soon be one of the best down the road. just watch.

 

[DeathsHead]

It should have Hetfield or Mustaine vs Ian

 

[jackson3124]

Yeah Ian is the king of rhythm(well very close to hetfield)) dave probably of technical leads close to kirk...

 

[nafnikufesin]

Yeah, lead vs. rhythm is like comparing apples and oranges. Kirk's solos were unmatchable, back in the day when he played solos, as opposed to playing a single riff over and over and over for 6 or 7 minutes on each nauseating track on St. Anger

 

[Mr. Wu]

A better contest would be who can drink more sake.

If you saw Some Kind Of Monster, you'd know it wasn't Kirk's fault really.

I guess you have tired that huh? My vote goes to Scott in that contest.

 

[Inside Out]

John Petrucci is way better than Mustaine, and i can honestly say that since i seen them both play. mustaine cant hold a candle to him.

sake idk who would win that, probly Jewcifer himself.

 

[DiscipleOfThePit]

Well...

Scott is probably the better rhythm player but doesn't usually venture above the D string.

Kirk isn't very tight live and never has been. If he was stricter with himself I reckon he could have been a top class player.

Agreed!

 

[johnnieCzech]

Judging from the last live show I saw (a year ago), Kirk has probably improved when it comes to catching tone, sound and preciseness. As I said, he doesn't play leads anymore, but 1) it's not his fault, 2) fast leads show nothing of a player's quality.

so tue. stevie ray vaughn can bend one note or, play a fast ass blues fill and be a great lead player. it's feel and approach that make a great guitarist not how many notes fit in measure. james is still the king of rythm. the guy is tight as fuck. scott very close second. kirk is a lead guitarist so i can't compare him to scott.

Exactly, SRV kicked ass.

 

[DarbysDad]

I go with Kirk

but a Sake contest would rule.

I'm still sad about the night I got thrown out of the Santa Monica Civic on the ATL tour and my friends come out and Kirk played God Save the Queen as an encore with Anthrax.

So, getting thrown out of venues isn't a new thing for you.

exactly - but the HOB Anaheim was the wifes fault I swear
