It's been a while since we've seen Ricoboc so I felt I better take over
until we elect another mod for this forum. Sorry Ricoboc no pun intended
Ok let's take a look at Kirk Hammett as a guitarist. Do you like his
style,licks, and do you think he should be in the same category as say
Hendrix,EHV,Page etc.
I would rate him 2-5. He's ok but nothing to write home about. He's more of
a songwriter then a guitar slinger. Which there's nothing wrong with
that.
What do you think? ____________________

I dont sence much soul in his playing. Nothing really original, same
over-over-driven guitar. Thats just me.

| He has a few good riffs...I like ride the lightning,master of puppets,and
justice for all was not bad...Thats all I like of their music...I would
give him a 4 to 6 out of ten...4 for feeling and a 6 for technique...He can
play...just not much feeling.Sounds to much like he is playing scales...Im
not into that. ____________________

I quite like Hammett, his stuff on Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning
is amazing. That's just my opinion though.

Damn, ziggy's been putting us all to sleep for days, but now he's
working his magic on himself.... The man is a machine...
Mr. Hammett, while being a doozy guitarist comes from the hair-era of
"speed metal", and while I like listening to some, I don't think it ranks
up there with the greats(Pee Wee Herman, Zamfir and the guy who does the
"Law & Order" theme).
The tunes are great as was already said up to "Load" album, then I quit
listening to them(or so my lawyer will say) because of their attacks
against their listeners.
thanks,

| Kirk is OK he messes up metallica's tough guy theme because he's a little
light in his loafers. Overall I will give him 3-5 as a guitarist. ____________________

And he said about the beatles in a guitar magazine along the lines of "I
f****** loathed those candy asses". Better musicians, Kirk Hammett or the
Beatles. Im gonna have to go with the Beatles. I doubt few would disagree.
