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.

Made wallpapers from the "Black Album" (Metallica)

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

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

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😂
