I suggest u listen to a little bit of Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Angelo Batio, Herman Li, etc, to know what SPEED means. After u r through these people, Kirk will seem to be playing his stuff in slo-mo.

When the point of speed and quality comes up.... no one beats Malmsteen.... :)
In case of some beautiful and quality guitar playing, Steve Vai, Santriani, Mustaine, Jakk, Slash is simply awesum !!! But again Hammet is also one in my good book... Its his quality reflected in songs like Unforgiven... I was so into Metallica at one point of time... :) Metallica meant life back then !!!! Then I transitioned onto hearing God's like Blind Guardian, Opeth and Rammstein.... :)

I understand that u r a die hard METALLICA fan, no harm done, but when u make commets like that, u actually make a mockery of speed metal. While Kirk is fast and good, calling him the "meaning of speed" is way too much to digest.

I suggest u listen to a little bit of Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Angelo Batio, Herman Li, etc, to know what SPEED means. After u r through these people, Kirk will seem to be playing his stuff in slo-mo.

Anyway, this is what your "meaning of speed" had to say about DRAGONFORCE.

Anyway, lets give it rest and move on, shall we.

Don't ever underestimate Kirk Hammett, for he has not only speed, but also melody. Yes, there may be a handful of guys faster than him, but none have his unique combo of speed and melody. Dream Theater's guitarist is another guy like hammett.

And yes, ever heard Blackened? Kirk Hammett is one of the greatest guitarists ever, and he is comparable to guys like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Toni Iommi, BB King, etc.

And I am NOT a die hard metallica fan, atleast of their newer live shows anyway. Don't jump to conclutions.

And yes, one more thing: Kirk is the meaning of speed not because he is the fastest, but because he can produce melodies even at ultra high speeds.

Frankly speaking METALLICA never really impressed me, don't know why. For me it was always SEPULTURA and PENTERA who defined freaking hard. Before that it was BLACK SABBATH, LED ZEPPLINE and DEEP PURPLE who really appealed to me. Somehow, i completely missed the early 80s rock scene. The only album, other than Master of Puppets, that got me hooked was their self titled album Metallica. Other than that, METALLICA, or MEGADEATH etc never seemed to fulfill my voracious appetite for hard music.

Anyway, at the end of the day.....

viva la ROCK

I am one satisfied customer of the pre 1990 bands. But the newer stuff is not as good as before.

No one listens to Marylin Manson here.?? :( .I love all of his songs.!!He was the one who got me outta pop and rap and hooked me on to Hard rock and metal music.For me the top artists are:
  • Pink Floyd: Listen to them 24x7 on my music player.
  • Marylin Manson: First hard rock artist I listened to and got hooked on to.
  • Opeth: Benighted and Circle of Tyrants amongst others rock.!!
  • Cradle of Filth: Just when I am in head-banging mood.Don't listen much otherwise.

I used to listen a lot of Nirvana songs too.But they sound more like High-school band now..:|

But what ever anyone says, Led Zeppelin is the best when it comes to complexity of vocals and Dream Theater for their extremely progressive and complex music which none of us can hope to successfully play.

Dance of Eternity is a godly instrumental along with SoC and Erotomania, SoC being my personal favourite :)

not really waiting for it, lost the hope since the last cd and i always have lot of other stuff to digg to, just looked up the news for you.

"The release of Metallica's new album has been delayed again, sources from the band's record label told Stereo Warning. The album is now expected to hit the stores in September. Originally Lars Ulrich said it would be out in February, then the release was delayed till April. With the band still in the studio, it was clear that April was not gonna happen. Fans can take comfort in the fact that the last time the band spent this much time in the studio the year was 1991 and the result was the "Black Album". One can only hope for similar results this time! In the meantime, the boys have lined up a few dates for their upcoming European tour this summer."

yup. remember St. Anger. It sucked. Big time. But they say this will be a real good classic E Tuned high audio quality(and clarity) old school full speed classic thrash album. Hope they keep their promise. I Expect an Instrumental.

LOL... since we're all voicing opinions, as a guitarist myself (not a very good one though) I must say "Hammet SUCKS!"

He has nothing in terms of speed, technique, melody, or anything comparable to the greats. In guitarist circles I think theres some joke about Hammet being Satch's worst pupil; second worst pupil is Slash!

You want to listen to amazing rock/metal guitars?

Joe Satriani (everything, usually slower and more melodious, but with amazing techniques)
John Petrucci (Speed and melody)
Steve Vai (crazy techniques -- look for his three-stock guitar solo)
Paul Gilbert (again speed, melody, techniques)
Reb Beach (listen to black magic)
Van Halen (for those into 80s style leads)
Yngwie Malmsteen (who is fast, but quite classical and boring at times)

Insane?
Michael Angelo Batio (double stocks like you've never seen used before)
The Great Kat (crazy classical-shred woman)

A very special mention goes to:
Jason Becker - a true guitar hero!
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Becker

Of course I don't expect people to agree, but here's my 2 cents worth anyway!
