Kirk Hammett, Metallica
“Hammett is number "ONE. " Okay, maybe not the best but definitely in the top 5. He's one of the pioneers of metal guitarists and has unbelievable skills. The best example of his abilities are in "Master of Puppets" the instrumental 3 and half minutes into the song is pure brilliance. He is what makes Metallica click. Let's be serious Lars isn't the best vocalist but the background trash metal music is what attracts people to the band. He is that music. Hammet embodies Metallica and all the greatness of metal.”
“the $#@$#$ greatest of all #$^#@& time”
“He's not the best, but man is he good. He's definitely heavy metal, and can go insane with a guitar. If you've heard him play any of his better songs, you'll know what I mean.”
“Kirk Hammett,Metallica
For not being ranked in the top ten of guitarists I think he is one of the better guitarists to play Heavy Metal ,I think he is better than Eric Clapton and he deserves to be in the top eight.”
“Kirk Hammett needs to be up there somewhere...listen to fade to black...enough said”
“Kirk hammett is one of the best guitarist in the world.. he deserves to be with the top 10...listen to Master of puppets.........”
“just listen to Ride The Lightening
and you will see why he should be number 1”
“I think that krik hammet of metallica most be in the 5 place of this list!”
“he has got the best guitar solos in the best songs of the best band.
”
“Kirk is just amazing all together. Everything is put together extremely well and has an amazing ear for chord progressions!”
“Listen to the S&M concert for hearing him do some crazy whah-whah stuff. definetely better than Slash i'd say. but not as good as his private teacher Joe Satriani or Steve Vai, Micheal Romeo or John Petrucci. Kirk is one of the most inspiring guitarist I think together with Angus and Page.”
“I think that kirk hammett is the best for almost all the soos than I listened in my life, I been listened Metalica all my life and for the solos, sorry, forgot, for trhe 3 solos of Fade to Black, the 3 solos of Welcome Home, and I don't know, all the solos, he is the best, he is my #1, then is Slash, and Angus Young, but kirk is the best”
“Kirk Hammet is a guitarist with a legend of pushing as much guitar chords screaming in your mind til it hurts”
“Listen To Ride The Lightning Or Master Of Puppets...”
“He is one of the most amazing guitarists i have ever listened to, his solos are just amazing. Songs like Master of Puppets are so amazing that this guy probably had to stop for a few seconds to cool his hands down before they melted. He should defenitly be in the top 10 and not Prince as #1.”
“no doubt the best guitar player ever with the best band ever”
“Since he's not in the top 10 here,he definetly deserves to be in the top 10 in the best metal guitarists of all time,no lower than 5.”
“kirk hammett.... wow, this guy is crazy with a guitar... songs like one, blackend, battery!! there is no other guitarist that can come up with face melting solos like that, but he isnt just great with metal... like nothing else matters, they got a bunch of songs like that, kirk hammett can play anything so i clearly think he should be in the top ten”
“he is the most amazing guitar hero i've ever seen.just listen to metalicca song..........and you know about it.”
“1.Fade to Black
2.One
3.Call of The Ktulu
that was the greatest solos of all time
if you don`t believe it, just listen to the tracks and you will know why
”
“He is number one!

“He's should be number 1!”
“Kirk Hammett is an awesome guitarist,the solos in fade to black, ride the lightning, one, and master of puppets are some of the best i ever heard”
“kirk hammet is probably one of the best guitarists in the world he should easily be in the top 5 best guitarists”
“he is one of the best definately shouldbe in the top ten song like fade to black and the unforgiven really can make your soul awake”
“SHOULD BE IN TOP TEN.”
“GREAT THAN SLASH...PLAY BETTER THAN PRINCE......”

“I been listened Metalica since i was teenager,whoooaa that man really .......,you should listen damage inc, stone cold crazy and turn the page.Makes me crazy”
“Just listen to the "one" solo... then you'll understand why he should be number 1!”
“top 10 easily, just listen to "one" and u will no wot i mean”
“Kirk is great gitarist,one of the best...no doubt.But sometimes I feel his fingers arent sure enough and does some mistakes...but who doesnt...Despite,hes the best for me...”
“Kirk Hammett is pretty much my favorite guitarist on here, his solos and his riffs are amazing they are just impossible. I think he's way better than Jimi Hendrix but I think jimi isn't that great”
“How hes not in 1st or 2nd I do not know.
Check out everything he's ever done. Like Master of Puppets, Battery, One, (Welcome Home)Sanitarium, etc. etc. single handedly, the greatest ever”
“Kirk Hammett... I only just got into Metallica recently and I love it... He is an amazing guitarist and has a unique style and loves his Wha-Wha.. the best solos are in Master of Puppets... Fade To Black.. One etc etc etc... I wouldn't call him the best... but he is a guitar legend.. for those about to rock I salute you...!”
“why so low he should be in the top ten atleast im mean he helped make metal what it is today”
“best guitarrist ever, listen to the call og ktulu solo, what an amazing song. he should be in top ten! he should by Hendrix side that is his inspiration!”
“Why the hell isnt the best metal guitarest in the top ten he is in the worlds greatest metal band! and not in top 10!”
“Kirk God Hammett is Just the best ever!! He combines rhythm and powerful fast solos, not too many guitar player have that blessing.”
“what the hell are they thinking...Kirk must be a weeeeaaahhhy ahead!!”
“Kirk hammet is the best guitarist ever.He tottaly freaks out on concerts,his solos are amazing.I wonder how do those srings on his guitar stat there.
”
“Kirk should be NO1 because just listen to Fade to Black,Master of Puppets,Outlaw Torn,Bleeding Me, Welcome home (sanatarium),creeeping death, An the Classic Seek and Destroy”
“Dude Kirk is the he can smoke anyone at a guitar battle. Long time Fan of METALLICA
”
“kirk hammett should be at number 2 hes no match for hendrix but still amazing”
“best ever should be NO1”
“Well deserved, even though I would put him in a better position.
Just listen to "One", "Master Of Puppets", "Fade to Black", "The Call of Ktulu" or "Enter Sandman"... you will be impressed. =)”
“Metallica are legendary geniuses, it really annoys me when people don't understand them. Jimmy Paige etc haven't produced solos any where near as brilliant as kirk, to live is to die, orion, fade to black- classics!”
“Kirk is the best. If ya have a doubt, listen to his solos in the Black Album, Master of Puppets & you'll know what I mean.”
“Kirk is the best guitarist in the whole world man he should be no. 1 on the lest
”
“kirk is deff top 10 listen to all the albums before black album insane.........he is my favorite guitarist by far...METALLICA YEA!!!”
“Just saying, none of those other guys (exceptions: Slash and Hendrix) can go as crazy as Hammett (i. e. : solo in One, the whole song Blackened)”
“Should be WELL above Synster Gates (Who can't even remember his own solos) Kirk Hammett play with Metallica and doesn't kill the song with solos.”
“FOR GOD SAKE HE'S THE BEST NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!
”
“He is a lot better than SynG”
“Kirk Is good, very good, But even I as a die hard metallica fan can admit that Hendrix, Van Halen, Slash, Page, and maybe some others are better. Kirk can play awesome solo's, he's very fast and plays flawless. I've seen him Live and he has a very good Live performance. He very much deserves this top 10 place. My personal top 10 is: 1st-Jimi Hendrix, 2nd-Eddie Van Halen, 3rd- Jimmy Page, 4th-Slash, 5th- Carlos Santana, 6th- KIRK HAMMET, 7th- Angus Young, 8th- Prince, 9th-Eric Clapton, 10th- Adrian Smith... But I most of all loves kirk's style of playing...”
“He shouldn't be no1 but he should be close. He destroys Sysnster because he is overall better and not an emo loser in a pathetic excuse for a metal band. Thats all I have to say.”
“his solos..”
“Hes maybe not the best, but he is so great! He should be definitely in the top 5.
This guy should be over Slash.”
“Should be in the top 3. Listen to some metallica solos ull see why”
“His riffs and solos are way too good not to be number one.”
“Riffs are awesome”
“Awsome guitarist. Much better than dave mustard-stain And is one hell of a guitarist.”
“kirk hammet's a near perfect guitarist (cause there's only one who is perfect) he shreds, he plays chords, he can do anything”
“Awesome guitarist”
“Kirk is waaay better then Matthias Jabs”
“Stop your Nagging pooisgood. No One Could ever be better than Kirk Hammett. Dave Mustaine is such a rip off. If he's so good, why didn't he and his band
“KIRK HAMMETT is more batter then Jabs
I thing KIRK should be last in top 5!
He is a great guitarist and a good man
