paddys missus would like to know what you think of kirk hammett as a lead guitarist

[metal paddy]

is kirk any good tell paddys missus what you think and she says a big hi to all the guys out there she luvs you all

 

[Jesse Pohjalainen]

To me he will always be one of the best guitarist out there.
I love his solos, they are amazing.

 

[Mr. Tentacle Face]

Uhhh...He plays a lot of stuff in E? He's well good though. I was glad when he had a go at Lars and Jaymz in 'Some Kind of Monster' about them wanting to ditch solos. The trendy bastards

yes i see that in film he was a bit upset dude

 

[Base Delta Zero]

He's excellent. A student of Satriani, he brought classical guitar to metal. I don't know if he was the first but he's definately one of the best.

It's sad to see such talent go wasted on such mediocrity.

HE IS GOOD HE SEEMS TO WORK WELL WITH HETFIELD LIVE

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

The most overrated guitarist in metal. period. Yeah he is fucking good, but nowhere near the best.

HEY DUDE DID ANYONE SAY HE WAS THE BEST PLEASE DONOT COME ON HERE SO BITTER DUDE TAKE A CHILL PILL :Smokin:

It's gotta be somewhat hard for Hammett to work with Hetfield as Hetfield uses downstrokes almost exclusively. Though Hetfield's really fast at the down-strokes, this still has to limit him. But yeah, they do well together otherwise.

WHAT I MEAN IS HE PLAYS LEAD BUT SEEMS TO TAKE A BACK SEAT TO JAMES WHO IS MORE OF A SHOW MAN AND KIRK SEEMS TO NOT MIND THIS BUT I THINK KIRK IS A EASY GOING GUY

My beef with Hammett is he lacks originality. It's all E minor solos...Pentatonic...most of the solos off the first 3 cds sound exactly the same

BUT IF YOU HEAR STUFF FROM THE 80S AND STUFF NOW THERE ARE DIFFERENCES AND THRASH METAL IS NOT COMPLEX IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE SIMPLE IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THEN DO NOT LISTEN TO IT LISTEN TO SHIT LIKE OPETH DUDE

 

[unknown]

But if the guy was taught by Joe Satriani, one of the greatest guitarists ever, I would expect more than just typical solos repeated ad nauseam. I didn't say I wanted complexity...I want variety.

I can't deny he played on some bad ass albums back in the day. I'll still give him credit for making me headbang!

[Scourge of Malice]

That's what I'm sayin!

yeah sorry dude i have been on the beer for somtime today

 

[CF87]

Kirk Hammet is one of my favorite lead guitarists. I don't care what he does now because it's 25 or something years later and you can't expect him to be the same. From what I remember bob and metallica would not let him play solos on st. anger.

Hammet was also ten times better as a lead guitarist than dave mustaine who people make a big deal out of.

 

[sumairetsu]

I think he's okay. He's nowhere near my favorite guitar players, though he does have talent.
