@Decaying Corpse HAHAHA Kirk Hammett would be a no one if it wasn't for the safety net of his wah pedal. His compositions suck from a music theory stand point, literally anyone who's been playing 8-10 years can write catchy riffs like his..and that's all they are. His techniques are limited..meanwhile Nick Hipa is using every tool in his arsenal and doesn't get hardly any recognition. I guess it's hard to see the huge contrast between the two if you're not a musician?
@Decaying Corpse actually it does...Kirk's playing has repetitive/limited phrasing: He almost exclusively falls back on minor pentatonic/blues licks. There’s nothing wrong with this, and almost all rock guitarists still come from this tradition. Slash, Santana - even Eddie Van Halen - have made a killing off of playing blues licks. The difference is that Nick is more creative with his phrasing, and gains a lot of mileage out of one or two scales, whereas Kirk’s solos have invariably contained the same old pedal-steel bends, ascending/descending triplet patterns on the pentatonic scale, and that atonal picked pattern he does down the high E string for the past 35 years (I don’t even have to tab these things out, and you probably know what I’m talking about). When you combine all this with Metallica’s innovative off-kilter song structures and odd-time riffs, the results are often less than spectacular. Yeah they're memorable...but that doesn't define him as a better player than Nick.
@Decaying Corpse don't get me wrong. Im a huge fan of kirk. But if you ever look at his tabs or sheet music, it's all the same composition just played in a different key 🤷♂️
I used to be an AILD fanboy, partly because of this song and solo. His style is not about speed, it’s about feel. The note choice and bends he does just make his guitar scream. And he makes it look easy.
One of the most underrated guitarists in metal. Better than a whole lot of worshiped guys like hammet. It's so easy for him.

Horribly underrated guitarist
