The smug face of a millionaire who got rich and got on magazine covers playing guitar at a club level.
DIE
>>65652735
dont talk about him like that
he's the only metallica member who isn't a complete asshole
>>65652735
ok let's see you get on Vocaroo and play the Ride The Lightning solo

>>65652848
brah those kurt cobain solos are true music
>>65652848
Yeah those were some killer solos Dave Mustaine left them.
He was good on the first two albums, everything after that got steadily worse and worse.
>>65652631
It must feel really nice to be the only talented guy in your extremely overrated band
>>65652735

It was more contextual and periodic. He could have been Jimmy Page-tier and Metellica would have still been a huge success.
>>65654362
mechanix is an example of why megadeth will always be a second rate band compared to 80's metallica, overcompensating to the point where all the fun an soul were take out of the track for no depth mall tier angst and nasally snarls
>>65652735
is there such a thing as a good guitar player to you people?
>>65654488
I didn't know Kirk wrote all their lyrics, composed all those riffs, and has to sing while doing 200 bpm downpicking.
>>65654613
Jame's downpicking is him making the best out a bad situation of being the retard who wasn't shown how to alternate strum/pick early enough and now has an impossibly bad habit. Even his solos have too much downpicking.
>>65654650
He didn't even play any solos until the 90s though? At least I'm pretty sure all those blues rock solos on TBA/Load are him and not Kirk.
>>65654613
>I didn't know Kirk wrote all their lyrics
He didn't, that's why he's cool
>>65652767
let's see him play Race with the Devil on a Spanish Highway without him sounding like a wanker.

couldn't you just swype the words 'the', 'black', and 'album', or are you trying to look like a chode?
You'd think a guy who was trained by Joe Satriani would be able to do something other than atonal scales.
Where prospective movie makers back then recognized that they were entering a big business, people who wanted to make music often didn't--they just wanted people they'd never met to hear their voices. That doesn't mean they were unaware when they ventured into the studio that the people who could help them be heard had already set up shop--just that they often didn't like how the biz worked when they found out. This contradiction came to a head with the American rock of the post-Beatles '60s, which was dominated by former folkies who distrusted the music business on principle. The same was pretty much true of early rock criticism.
But although the leftward tilt of my politics back then was permanent, and although I figured correctly that too many young artists were getting cheated, anti-commercialism was never my line. I liked hooks and hits and DJ patter; I liked Motown and bubblegum; I preferred The Who Sell Out to Tommy. And because I'd heard a lot of jazz, I was underwhelmed by the cult of the guitar solo. So I firmly believed that rock wasn't about musicianship. It was about concept and short-fast-songs-with-a-good-beat.

4:10 - that same riff appears on Rust In Peace. Great thievery, Dave.
>>65654677
he played the middle solo on master of puppets, the 2nd solo on orion and the middle solo on to live is to die
>>65655071
Yeah I know the slow midsection on MOP is James's playing, but I never really thought of that as a solo per-se and also they never play that part of the song live.

john cale is aight, I guess...
I used to shit on Kirk until I got around to watching Some Kind of Monster and realized he's the only person in the band who isn't a raging egomaniac and the only person who actually acts like a professional. Felt bad for him being forced to sit there awkwardly while Lars threw spaghetti at the wall while James called him a fuckhead.

this is probably his fastest solo - starts at: 5:40
>>65655134
still remember his comment calling bullshit on not playing solos during st anger because it was the trendy thing to do, and that it would date the album to that period of time, he was pretty much spot on
"Kirk Hammett is the worst guitarist I've ever heard. I remember how back in the 80s, he was always appearing on the covers of magazines and being voted Guitarist of the Year and stuff like that and I'd be like 'What? That guy is terrible.' He has this vibrato that, oh my god, it's so amateurish. And I'm afraid to say this because I might meet him someday."

>autism
>>65655134
Nah, he's just a betamax who sits there with a shit eating grin and obeys all of James/Lars's orders without question.
>>65655193
His statements in that scene were such a strong criticism of the direction of the band that I wonder if James and Lars understood the full implications of them.
He basically called them out for being followers rather than leaders and for being desperately insecure about the band's place in music.
Metallica fans who had been complaining since the black album were vindicated by a member of the band.
>>65655274
Because he wants to avoid conflict and just play music instead of getting into it with Godzilla and Mothra, who have the power to overrule him.
>>65655289
That kind of happens to a lot of long-time bands and they were going on 20 years when St. Anger came out. They end up following trends set by younger guys instead of setting them.
Man, at least James has grown into a mature, sophisticated adult. Kirk is a manbabby who thinks he's still 16 and buys skateboards and ugly sneakers from Foot Locker.
>>65655343
Wut? James is an ol' country-fried hick. Just because he was photographed outside a boutique in LA buying his wife a dress for the Grammys doesn't mean he's sophisticated.
