METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett (a.k.a. Kirk Von Hammett) joined Swedish progressive metallers MESHUGGAH on stage this past Sunday, April 12 at RockBar Theater in San Jose, California during the second installment of his annual horror-themed Fear FestEvil, a music and memorabilia event. Fan-filmed video footage of Hammett playing a guitar solo in the MESHUGGAH song "Bleed" can be seen below.The second Fear FestEvil took place Saturday and Sunday, April 11-12, with appearances by Slash, SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor, ROB ZOMBIE guitarist John 5 and performances by MESHUGGAH, AGNOSTIC FRONT, HIGH ON FIRE and more.In a 2002 interview, Hammett said about MESHUGGAH: "You know, I think MESHUGGAH is brilliant. A lot of that extreme stuff doesn't make much sense to me, but when I heard MESHUGGAH, and everybody was talking about them at Ozzfest, I just sort of... I just respect it a lot. That type of stuff, it's not something that I listen to on a daily basis, but it's interesting to me. And there's not a lot of metal stuff that is that interesting. But like MESHUGGAH, that's really fucking interesting. You sit there and say, how does he actually play that on drums? And then you start getting into like, well, does he actually play that on drums? [Laughs] But it sits in a very different place compared to anything else I've heard."
