One of the fastest guitarist ever. If you see him in concert he does arpegio runs that will blow your mind. The only reason the new albums don't have solos is because James Hetfield writes all the songs and he never writes anything that pushes Hammet's skills.

Get the Kirk Hammet mug.One of the best technical guitarists who plays for the band Metallica. He started off in a garage band called "mesh", then Exodus and Joined Metallica in 1983. He does ripping solos and playing at lightning speed.
Metallica would be nothing without Kirk Hammet. James Hetfield is a great guitarists and all, but Kirk Hammet superior
