Kirk Hammett

As Metallica is heading back to the studio following the “Sick of The Studio” break, I will talk little bit about Kirk Hammett. I don`t think he would see this posting but I still can`t resist to utter my plea as a devoted fan at my own convenience. Here we go: 1-Please do solos on the next recording and for god`s sake 2-Don`t use Mesa-Boogie amps for extracting underproduced feeling guitar sounds as it is nothing but an abuse of your great equipment! This also equally applies to your Danish buddy Lars; avoid that shitty editing on the drums, there is no merit in leaving your elusive tone behind. So no more like St. Anger please…Then you will do just fine. You are severly entrapping yourself while trying to impede repetition and creative burn-out by reversing what you have done under Bob Rock like soloing(as the main theme of this post!) but that is apparently bringing out more entrapment on your side. Experimenting with 7 string guitars and alternative tuning styles might be interesting for extending your soundscape… And at last but not least; use Rob Trujillo`s creative potential to it`s full extent… Well some of the stuff here actually should be communicated with James and Lars but you are my man as much as Jason was before he had to leave. Anyway I will shut up now, but more on this later after I hear the upcoming record… And oh yeah, Do Solos! Do Solos! Do Solos!
