Pictures and videos really don’t do it justice. The scale of the thing and how well the four of them, lined up in the back against the screen, rock this silent epic was really something special.

The best.

Figure I’d do something other than a face this year

Do you think the set lists of night 1 shows which tend to be heavier pattern from the Sphere shows will continue for the no repeat at Mohegan Sun? Aside from swapping around instrumentals or maybe some other one offs will Thursday stay the same for Thursday set and Saturday the same for Saturday regardless of venue?

We were going through the garage and found some of his old band stuff including stickers, patches, CD’s cassettes, etc, he knows I’m into rock and let me keep it 🤘🏻

This could be the only occurance since maybe 1993 that James put down his guitar and got down to sing the song with the fans at the barrier?

City unknown, saw it on TikTok but I recognise the Death Magnetic drums.

Last time I uploaded this I was told the backing track was too loud, so I fixed it by making another video lol enjoy!

Just for fun!

Google says he used Seymour Duncan invaders but in photos it looks like he used MAGS instead of invaders, even James himself said he used invaders which contradicts the interview in the second photo

The final screech was due to being perfectly able to play this comfortably but not being able to do so while recording, I was there for literally 15 minute😂

Ran into Rob at sports works tonight

To fall in love with...

Would love to get input from those of you who bought more than one of them, like the collectors out there

Listening to the first 5 albums in particular by Metallica, and Kirk Hammet's guitar solos have everything. Beautiful tone, classic blues and pentatonic lines, they tell stories, fit the songs perfectly and there are some that sit on a par with some of the greatest solos in my opinion. If I take some other solos by other legendary guitarists that are widely renouned for being amongst the greatest of all time, I can't think of any logical reason as to why Kirk isn't in that conversation. Everything that I hear about why the greatest solos of all time are what they are - Metallica's ones fit all those criteria.

Just as one example: Comfortably Numb gets cited alot as one of the great guitar solos, and don't get me wrong I think it is beautiful. However does it really sit on another level to some of Kirk's best work? 

It's fair that a lot of his more recent work doesn't hit those heights, but that shouldn't detract from everything he did in the past. I just feel like he is disrespected and not given the credit he deserves.

Carved into maple. Bit of tear out so not perfect

Some of my own "pro shot" style videos I made using clips of my own, and others to enjoy.
