Hey guys I’m sitting in physics class so I’m just going to the Syn gates forum to hang out! Anyways what do you guys think about all the backlash Kirk Hammett gets for his playing? It seems if you go to any video of him playing, especially live shows there are always people commenting that he’s “one of the worst players out there”. I know he isn’t the best and can be a little sloppier these days but woah that statement boggles my mind. And besides if you watch older videos Kirk plays flawlessly anyways. Then there’s the wah wah, I’m sure he uses it a little to cover mistakes but I genuinely believe the guy just loves the sound and that’s what’s important. I guess it can get a little annoying to some but it’s just his style and when you hear him play you instantly know that it’s him, and to me I think that is super important, that is not sounding like the next guy. Then you have amazing solos like Master, Creeping Death, Ride The Lightining, One, and The Unforgiven Three. Kirk’s a legend in my eyes.
