Supposedly Moth Into Flame was about Amy Winehouse. I doubt it's meth, but he struggled with cocaine and alcohol in the past. I think he may have relapsed which is why he didn't join the band for the writing of Hardwired. James made some cryptic comments about Kirk that led me to believe that he may have fallen off the wagon and needed to get straight.
hes not getting younger, 30 odd years of stress, various substance abuse, natural aging. It catches up in different ways. The others dont look much better.
He has that sorta stutter/shakiness thing. Nothing to do with drugs and whatnot, he's had it since childhood. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse. In some 80s interviews he just gets anxious and zones out completely for a few seconds.
Kirk has such a great personality and I love interviews where he gets to talk uninterrupted and speak his mind. He’s so awesome and such an inspiration!
Kirk is a damn fine guitar player who plays in a style that is very raw, but very soulful, in the vain of someone like Jimmy Page; compared to polished and perfect players like Friedman and Malmsteen. I'll take raw and soulful in contrast to polished and perfect any day. Kirk is the man!
I think Kirk was talking about the enter Sandman Riff at the end - he doesnt say, and then he says he got the idea from Soundgarden Riffs on Louder than love. So you can thank Soundgarden for Metallicas biggest song. I guess Kirk was feeling Outshined.
"how would you describe the sound of metallica to someone who has never heard your music?" and you guys just insert as the answer the story of enter sandman riff? this is silly edit dudes. you suppouse to be more prepared and creative.
I'm not wild about they're entire output but I really like two most recent albums, Death Magnetic and Hardwired. I have to hand it to them, most rock mega-stars would be dying their hair and getting facelifts but Metallica seems to have really pulled it together and is keeping it all genuine. Not bad at all for 35+ years!
Man I can’t hear what riff they are talking about he said 89 so I assume post ajfa are we talking sandman or??? It has to be something on the black album anybody seen more footage of this that can enlighten me ?
melissa n Literally watched a video of Kirk Hammet earlier today, watching one again and you're here. You really have no life, you need to be checked into a psych ward because he most likely doesn't believe you exist and either a) you're a troll b) you are actually this delusional or c) he didnt sign your shirt at a concert and now you're out for revenge
