Speaking of governments:

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victims of what said should be
A servant `till I fall

Easily one of Metallica's best songs, and it is Kirk's best guitar solo (as most of his solo's are crap).

Metallica?

At The Gates cover of Escape (they called themselves snockrocket for some reason)

LOL....wut? And his solo's what?

Kirk is great technique wise and fast as balls, but the dude has little feeling in his solos. You can be fast and have feeling (ex EVH, joe bonamassa, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson etc.) but Kirk just shreds. Which is cool and I like him as a guitar player, but he ain't one of the best

Yeah but that's a far cry from "they suck".

Most of his solos do suck, and if you think he's a great guitarist then you have little to no musical talent. Guys like Marty Friedman absolute smoke Kirk in terms of technique and musical ability.

I agree he definitely doesn't suck. He's just in a great band and that's why he gets a lot of hype. I think in the guitar world that's why a lot of people hate him. Dudes good at shredding and that takes talent, but playing musical and shredding are two different things and I think most people will agree we like both.

Based on your posts on this site, it's obvious you are a genius in many areas.

See if you can figure out if that's sarcasm or not.

I was a guitarist in the Jazz program at UT. I have no doubts that I could easily school you in anything music related. Suck on that info.
 
Sure, buddy. Whatever helps you justify your lack of talent. "but...but...Kirk Hammet is good at guitar!"

Haha.

Never seen that one before. That's almost as original as Kirk's ability to play the Pentatonic scale. Keep up the good work!

Good lord, are you Pee Wee Herman? You might as well start saying "I know you are but what am I?".

Oh wait......I forgot, I can make you disappear.
 
I move to strike the last 15 posts from the record.
Sorry, binge watching Making a Murderer has seeped into my every day life.

This was a great rock band, The Hellacopters

Nick Andersson fronted them and is super talented. He also played drums and guitar and did some vocals for Entombed on their earlier releases.
