Sounds like Kirk really wants to play blues. I would like to hear an album of that
@maxscardanelli618510 жыл бұрын
Yeah. So would I. Althought it's not really surprising considering the fact that 'Load' and 'Reload' were two of the worst Metallica albums from their entire discography. Even 'St. Anger' was better than those two piles of dog shit.

@@PinoyMukbangPro Load is a good record, ReLoad was meh, St. Anger gets fun after a while, Death Magnetic has good songs with bad production, and Hardwired has ok songs with flawless production. Metallica is and has been doing great throughout their career with the only true low being St. Anger, not because of the record but because of the social struggles in the band.

@Adipsia18 жыл бұрын
Because that guitar is iconic. It has the blues imbued in to its DNA (albeit the UK's version of the blues from the classic era of the '60's). It's a classic guitar that belongs in the hands of a guitarist who understands its lineage and can carry things forward. Nothing against Kirk... but the force is not strong within him.

This is what I say to that: Yeah, he "made it", as in Metallica are a very successful band, but it didn't happen by accident. He wrote all those riffs that we love so much. Yeah, there's probably better players. but being a good guitar player doesn't mean you can write badass riffs.

@Cheapooo fender strat is very good to start out on, hell even a squire strat is ok but if you have the money get a mexican one for about 400, but they're great for everything clean and funky, rock and metal work ok on 'em but the bridge pickup will have to go if you plan on metal (I suggest hotrails), and maybe the others if you use them with lots of distortion (tons of hum) I've been using my strat since I've started playing, only crappy thing is the tuning and tremelo system, but you can mod
