Kirk Hammett Really Sucks!

Kirk Hammett really sucks! Why, you may ask? On this site, I present my reasons on why he’s over-rated and over-hyped, as well as links to some TALENTED guitarists.

  1. Sorry: Kirk sucks bigtime
    Al

    It blows my mind that Kirk Hammet could be such a lousy guitar player. He should be thanking god that he’s backed by one of the best bands in the world. How is it possible, for a guy who was part of the 80’s guitar scene could have such lousy technique?? I’ve heard the idiot pay out of key solo’s countless times, always with the same repetitive licks…
    And for all the worshippers: Kirk Hammet is god… compared to whom???The guy from Blink 182?? Sure. To Eddie Van Halen, George Lynch, Joe Sariani etc… definately not. Get your heads out of your collective asses and listen to some real guitar playing.

      Listen dips**t your not that great of a guitarist yourself. Just because he uses the same licks that doesnt make him bad. That waht solos are. Licks that are contantly used and reused. Some of his solos are actualy really cool. Granted he has his low points but dot **** ing bash him. CUZ EDDIE VAN HALEN SUCKS MY RIGHT NUT!!!!!

    2. Kirk is the best metal guitarist ever
      BG

      When Im listening to Metallica songs, i come clear, that all part of Kirks solo is there, because IT MUST BE THERE. The solo combines maximum virtuosity with maximum creativity and harmonizing with the main subject of the song. Kirk is a guitar god. Not the only in the world, but in metal music surely HE IS the best.

  2. kirk kix ass!!!
    kirk worshipper christine

    listen freak, personally I think that you are jealous and are just saying this shit to get attention. Did you have a tormented childhood or something? Where else will you hear such prodigous guitar leads…NO WHERE. they don’t exist anywhere else but at the hands of all-mighty kirk. GET THERAPY 🙂

  3. Id like to see you play
    Stefanie

    I suggest that u shut the hell up because i know that u cant do any better. If u do want to be better than kirk (which will never be possible) than u should spend more time practicing guitar trying to match up to how he plays than making stupid idiotic web sites about people that u think suck that is a complete waste of time to be doing something like that! I could spend much hours arguing about how kirk is one of the best guitar player that i have ever heard in my life but i have a life unlike you so i think that i have wasted enough time on u so bye

  4. FUCK EM ALLL < you know that Kirk IS THE best guitarman
    guitardude who loves Kirky Boy

    Not one FUCKING soul should diispute KIrk as the best. I mean, common,
    no one can match his creativity in his solos. He’s capable of doing TEN solo albums , besides being a member of THE BEST band ever METALLICA<

  5. KIRK ISN'T GOD AND IDIOT NEITHER
    Bore

    Kirk is very talented guitar, i respect him becuase i play guitar and he has pretty hard solos, but he isn’t the best! FAR AWAY FROM THAT. I know there are lot of metallica fans who says Kirk’s the best. But hey people, who’s better? Metallica’s any solo or Van Halen’s Eruption, or Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci. If someone didn’t know: JOE SATRIANI WAS KIRK HAMMETT’S TEACHER!!!!!!! AND HE’S MUCH BETTER THAN KIRK. I like Kirk more but Satriani is better or Van Halen …

  6. you must be retarded
    somebody

    Hey, you stupid idiot you are such a dumb loser i would like to see you pick up
    the tablature to any one of his solos and try to play two notes it’s pretty damn hard. let me tell you i know how to play guitar and it’s not easy to match what he plays. i’d like to see you even try to play a vibrato on the14th fret twice just like him i ‘ll bet tyou dont even know what a vibrato is so if you can come to me and play the solo in bleeding me i’ll come down off my opinion and say kirk hammet is not the best but until then Kirk hammett is the best guitar player and i could probably argue alot better but i have better stuff to do than argue somebodies playing ability that we all know is the best guitar player in the world. so shut up you stupid loser

  7. asshold,Kirk Hammett is so great dumbass,motherfucker cocker
    King

    HUUUUUUU,another guy who thinks that is better than Kirk,come one wake up, hi´s not the best in the world, but hi must be better than you,sucker,just listen to Master of Puppets solo,you´re one of the biggest idiots i ever met

    1. Re: asshold,Kirk Hammett is so great dumbass,mother**** er cocker
      gilligan

      : HUUUUUUU , otro tipo que se cree que es mejor que Kirk , ven un despertar , de alta no es el mejor del mundo, pero de alta debe ser mejor que tú, tonto , sólo escucha Master of Puppets en solitario, que es uno de los más grandes idiotas i conocido

  9. Kirk Hammett, the guitar master
    chris

    Im not going to down everyone cause of their beliefs but I’d just like to say, can you play the blistering solo’s that he has played over the years, and can you kick ass every night for like 3 years in a row while on a tour, every tour? Well then shut the hell up. Kirk Hammett is as close to God as they get!!!

  10. oh yeah and another thing since August whatever 1,809 people have NOT come to see why kirk hammett sucks (because he doesnt) they have come to see y u r SUCH A MOTHER FUCKING PRICK and what u think doesnt matter compared to all of these other people who agree with me that Kirk is god

  15. Kirk Hammett
    Aaron M. DeHart

    My friend, although you are entitled to your opinion, I must say that I have to disagree with you. First and foremost Kirk Hammett is classically trained and has enduced many new creative styles and nuances that are now apparent in many of today’s new guitarists. Moreover, if Kirk Hammett was not a noteworthy musician, Joe Sat would surely have never taken him under his wing. Finally, Kirk has added new flares to his style. Music changes and it is always wise to incorporate new forms of music into one’s playing, rather it be classical, blues, or funk. This helps to ensure that a stale style will be avoided. Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield should both be noted as guitar Gods! Peace-

    1. SERIOUSLY?
      Dave

      Did you just seriously rank Kirk Hammett below Kurt Cobain? ARE YOU **** ING RETARDED? My ASS could play better than Kurt Cobain…with one cheek tied behind my balls!!!

    2. Re: I agree that kirk hammett sucks balls
      DjangoIs KING

      :Kirk Hammett doesn’t suck, if you had a buddy who could wail like Kirk you would say wow you’re sick. HOWEVER I think that Kirk is EXTREMELY OVERATED. He is just a decent frontman of a popular band. Of course he can’t hold a candle to Satriani or Vai.

    3. Kirk Hammet is the worst lead guitarist EVER!
      Destroyer666

      Seems like all of you are just trend-posers whom worship hammet and metallica mearly for the fact they had been praised in the past by MTV reviewers.

      the truth is the metallica sucks and so does kirk hammet.

      All of their early stuff were composed by the one and only Metal-God, Dave Mustaine!

      metallica are a second-rate megadeth wannabe band.

      1. Come on people! KIRK SUCKS!
        kevin rezendes

        Kirk sucks. He can’t play anything out of the pentetonic scale! Why do you people think he is great? Am i missing something here? We are talking about kirk hammett from metalica right? If its the same guy i’m thinking of he sucks! Although he doesn’t play guitar he plays the wah wah pedal. lol

    4. Piss off!
      Metallicat

      Angus Young is the biggest fucking loser ever! What kind of fag dresses like a school boy? He doesn’t deserve to be the guy that washes Hammetts sweaty underwear! And Kirk Cobain???!!!! What the fuck are you talking about? Cobain couldn’t do shit except play 3 different chords per song, probably because he was on so much heroin, didn’t want to confuse himself.

      1. you guys obviously suck at guitar if u even play cuz kirk’s stuff isnt supposed to compare to steve vaugn… its metal not classical.. hes the best metal lead guitarist… hes in the hall of guitar fame 4 it so stfu

    1. KIRK REALLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
      Kevin

      I am a guitar teacher..There are a lot of great guitarists out there…. I had to laugh when i saw kirk hammet on the cover of GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE..OMG! WHY? Lately from what i hear ha has played everything he knows on a couple of cd’s..Thats why you will hear a wah wah pedal a lot more now. Because he ran out of things to play..Anyone with minimal experience on the guitar can pull off the solos that he does..I have figured out every solo that is thrown at me.. Why does metallica keep him? The singer plays way better solos than what kirk does. why why why..every solo that he does sounds the same just add a wah wah pedal to a fast pull off and you got a kirk hamett solo..I know satriani taught him..I always doubted the truth in that..IF he did take lessons from him he wasn’t a great student..well i am done here…hope someone sees this…email me at [email protected] …..don’t get me wrong metallica has some great songs but as far as kirk goes??????HE SUCKS SOOOOOO BAD…I’d rather hear the melodic sounds of one of the seven dwarfs in a blender. lol email me and let me know what you think???

      dave

      first of all you suck why would you be stupid enough to publically diss a guitar legend over the internet the only thing i can think of is you are like me ive been trying to copy his work for 10 yeasrs and i still cant play as good as him in his songs and did u actuall listen to one of his solos u must not have cause the are on tune and each note follows the last in perfect harmony and if u cant get that u must not be very musically inclined kirk hammet is a god and no body will ever top him i guess an idiot like you thinks slash sucks to well who do u like

    5. Re: Kirk Hammet sucks ?
      jess

      you are entiltld to an opinion and i will not tell you that you suck just because you don’t agree with the rest of the world. unlike most people you have enough brains to make your own decision instead of following the crowd and believing all the bullshit they tell you. i however like metallica but don’t think they are something ultra special, and admire you for voicing your opinion!

    6. Re: Kirk Hammet sucks ?
      Trevor S.

      Dude, If you think you’re so great Lets see your dumb ass get out there and do what Kirk did. He has way more money than you and has accomplished more music wise. I think you better go and play you’re shitty folk music with your non-talented friends

      1. no kirk lee hammet is the coolest in the world!!!!

      First of all,Peter you suck!!!
      You must be really stupid if you say that K.Hammet sucks.He’s one of world’s greatest guitar players.And that’s not just my opinion, our opinion, the MetallicA fans opinion.Anyway,we, the Metallica Fans…"WE DON’T GIVE A FUCK".Of course,you think that we are "cavemans",that we
      headbang all day…so what?You think you’re better than us?

      Joe

      Kirk Hammet is an amzing guitarplayer,,, you can not say that he is not good just because you dont like his style,, he is one of the best in his style if not the best,, there is alot of guitar players that i sometime think arent so great bui actually are,, i just assume they arent because I dont like the style,,, so Overall what I am saYing is
      KIRK HAMMET RULES AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT I DONT CARE BECAUSE YOU KNOW HE FUCKIN RULES

    9. Re: Kirk Hammet sucks ?
      no 1

      Have you even heard Kirk play??? By the looks of your little speech, no. I`d sure as hell would like you to see YOU play that good!(oh wait, a person of your integretigy can`t play the guitar) Kirks the one who inspired me to play, and I don`t appreciate your dissing him. Just because you have an opinion doesn`t mean you have to broadcast it to the world!

        anon

        For ur information i am not a head banger or a metal head or any other pathetic prejudiced based moron names u mite hav. My music tastes r vast, they range from miles davies to mozart, buddy holly and yes, metallica. I hav a grade 8 music theory (that means i no alot incase ur little brain doesn’t understand) and i think kirk hammet is the most admirable guitarist i’ve ever come acrros. You say ur a guitar teacher (which probably means ur very stupid), i play 5 different instruments including guitar, and i aspire to play like him. In my opinion the thing that makes kirk hammet so great is his sense of MUSICIANSHIP. As a guitarist, like most others u probably don’t hav much idea wot that means, but i can tell u that kirk hammets brilliance does not come from ‘how fast he plays’ or any other crap like that. Perhaps if u actualy listened 2 sum more metallica stuff rather than just 1 or 2 early thrash metal songs, u mite hear wot kirk hammet is capable of.
        Open ur mind.

      I generally don’t like people who put other people down. But this is what I have to say ;First of all ,your comments on this site (Kirk sucks) shows that you are all a bunch of morons ,who think that somebody who plays fast in a famous band, has to be good .The only thing I hear is, a lot of noise and notes that are poorly phrased whith an irritating "duck" like sound, from somebody who had some lessons with Joe Satriani in the back of a musicalinstrumentstore(???) .And that’s your idea of a guitarhero ? And somebody, who dares to say something about that, should die ??? By reading your comments and the kind of language you use ,gives me a good picture of you all. Stupid , "caveman"like morons, who have been headbanging for so long that there is no brain left in their heads. A guitarplayer sucks , when he becomes a caricature of himself and plays the guitarhero he’s not. When you are a fan ,that’s OK , but everybody has the right to have an opinion .And if you can’t deal with that,than that’s your problem. And if you’re so stupid, that you hate me for writing this, than I pity you all .

    THE WAY HE SOLOS OVER JAMES’ RIFFS IS SIMPLY AMAZING.
    HE DOESN’T PLAY BECAUSE HE WOULD LIKE TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT HE’S GREAT BUT BECAUSE PLAYING IS HIS PASSION.
    HE DOESN’TEVEN TRY TO BE GOOD BECAUSE IT’S VERY OBVIOUS THAT HE IS.
    HE GOES WITH WHAT SOUNDS GOOD FOR THE SONG AND NOT TO SHOW OFF HIS SKILLS.
    HE IS NOT THE PIECE OF SHIT THAT YOU’RE TRYING TO TELL EVERYBODY BECAUSE YOU RE THAT PIECE OF SHIT
