Kirk was one of the main guitarists that inspired me to pick up the guitar and become a great guitarrist, so i thank him for that.
His solos from "Ride The Lightning" to ...And Justice For All are really amazing, most of them. Kirk studied under joe satriani and learned NOTHING. THAT is why i cant respect him. Nothing? Could be, but i doubt it. Im sure he learned theory and other stuff that helped him in his playing, that he wanted a different approach in his playing than Satriani's playing is something very different. Exceptional enough to earn him 11th place in RollingStones Magazine's The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. That list is complete crap.

I watched the beginning of this video that you posted.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKiormZsvEg...feature=related Look at 00:48-00:58. He isn't making up new stuff, he just took a section from the Creeping Death solo and used it again, the exact same way, no changes at all. If you study his solos you will see they are all basically the exact same except on the two albums I mentioned. -------------------- |

Kill Em All solos were written by Dave Mustaine.

It's like people always bashing Yngwie because he uses the same scales alot in his music. I don't really care though. As long as it sounds good and not like a recycled version of a previous song. I really only feel like Kirk has a few solos that sound similar.
As to the chug, chug, chug in most of Metallica's songs: that's what you'll here in many thrash metal bands. Metallica might not be the most creative in using that method, but it still sounds good, to me at least. Exceptional enough to earn him 11th place in RollingStones Magazine's The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. WTF!!! I just took a good look at it, and Kurt Cobain, John Frusciante, and the guitarist from the White Stripes are all in the top twenty.
