LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-NOV 18, 2019…PUT 57 CANDLES ON THAT BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR METALLICA’S KIRK HAMMETT. PERSONALLY, I FREAKIN’ LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GUY. HE’S ONE OF THE MOST DOWN TO EARTH GUYS YOU’LL EVER MEET AND HE IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED MOTHERFU*#@$S ON EARTH. WE WERE INTRODUCED TO HIM IN 2000 AT METALLICA’S CONCERT AT 3COM PARK WHEN HAMMETT REQUESTED TO MEET US BECAUSE HE LISTENED TO THE SHOW!! WTF ! JUST A GREAT DUDE. HAMMETT WAS RANKED 11TH ON “ROLLING STONE” MAGAZINE’S LIST OF THE TOP 100 GUITARISTS OF ALL-TIME. IN APRIL 2009, ALONG WITH FELLOW METALLICA MEMBERS LARS ULRICH, JAMES HETFIELD, ROBERT TRUJILLO, FORMER MEMBERS JASON NEWSTED AND THE LATE CLIFF BURTON, WAS INDUCTED INTO THE “ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME”
THIS IS COOL, KIRK GIVES A GUITAR LESSON ON HOW TO PLAY “MASTER OF PUPPETS”
