Can't believe that they spend a lot of time recording and 'creating' new songs to find out that those are the 'best' solos that Kirk can come out with.
The fact that there are no pre Death Magnetic songs (except for I Disappear) included in this list says something. I also find it funny how everyone hates the IDHAS solo even though it's the same type of solo we've been hearing. Shred solos. Now everyone thinks it's illegal for Kirk play those type of solos lol. Hot take: The IDHAS solo is 🔥 imo. It's way too overhated. 😩 You forgot the worst solo tho: EVERY SOLO FROM ST. ANGER!
I think the guitar solos that Kirk Hammett has done on The Black Album all the way to 72 Seasons were inspired but that inspiration leads to repetitive ideas and confused writing. I think it's Kirk wanting to be edgy and technical while maintaining his signature tone, keeping it in the confines of the song, and doing something different. Being inspired to play or create a solo he is always down for. He needs to do a solo none metal album I think. He needs to maybe not do a metal solo project but one inspired by blues and jazz. This could restart the creativity for metal guitar solos. Different ideas that does work in blues or jazz but can translate to metal also. Maybe even add more delay or more distortion even reverb to the over used wah.
Whenever I hear some of these solos, I always think to myself: "I can't believe this is the same guy that wrote the Ride the Lightning, the Blackened and the Shortest Straw solos". Even after losing his phone, he couldn't come up with more interesting improvised solos, like the one he improvised on The Thing That Should Not Be. At least he wrote SOME 'decent' solos on 72 seasons.
The second solo in Suicide and Redemption is actually played by James and the first one is played by Kirk. The extended parts on Guitar Hero are by Kirk
The fact that a half of the list are solos i actually like kinda makes it more like it is your opinion-... but you didn't include Devil's Dance solo? That awful slide solo that sounds so ear-piercing?
Solos in Judas kiss and My Apocalypse Very good!

dude really made worst kirk hammett solo's list and didn't even put the lux æterna 💀
I Disappear is not a bad solo, it sins with his low duration and his simplifying but it's cool, it moves you?
I like how he says “what the hell is this?” almost as if he could play it better
My favourite Kirk's solos are actually from St.Anger lol

My Apocalypse solo is amazing, idk what are you talking about and the ending is very creative. Also I don’t think that part from I Disappear is a solo
i don’t think it’s entirely kirk’s fault. metallica hasn’t done anything new since 2003.
We can at least praise Murder One's solo for not being mindless wah wah spam, however uninspired it is
In the house that Jack built, kirk got rid of guitar and just grabbed 7 wah wahs and ran a marathon with them
And the solo if darkness had a son sounds interesting, and certainly more interesting than half the solo on Hardwired... To self-Destruct

I'm surprised James let those solos fly..he's such a perfectionist
The remastered version of kirks solo on suicide and redemption is 10 times better. I didn’t even know there was that winded extension of it.
