It's sad to see such talent go wasted on such mediocrity.
Ritchie Blackmore brought classical to metal IMO but Randy Rhoads (before Kirk ever incorporated it himself) perfected it and did it flawless because he didnt just play fast classical influenced metal he also knew when not to play it fast something Yngwie and his imitators never learned... anyways Kirk is ok... i used to like his playing alot especially on the first 3 Metallica albums and in particular on the Ride the Lightning album but him moving away from Modes and classical influence has bore me and his constant use of Wah Wah's as well...
