Just to note I am not much of a fan of Metallica. I thought once that Kirk Hammett was talented. That was when I saw a Metallica documentary. However I recently saw him do a guitar solo on YouTube and I was not impressed. For the stuff he was playing he seemed to have the level of guitar playing as someone still in High School. Maybe he was high at the time, and what he wanted to didn't come out that way he wanted. What I am saying is maybe he's better than what he displayed on stage. Either way I have to agree with your assessment of Kirk Hammett. I just didn't agree in the the manner you went about to prove your point. Thank you for knocking down one of guitar idols down a few notches and making me dislike popular music even more.

If The End wasn't self-censored The Doors The Doors would win by far but when he denies himself the right to free expression by refusing to acknowledge the Eodipal content with the word f uck it shows a kind of artistic cowardice that still haunts his legacy. It's all the more pronounced when considering his place in the rock'n'roll pantheon because he predicated what he was doing on wildness and freedom but there was always this annoying self-restraint. My favorite Doors record is Waiting for the Sun. L.A. Woman has some great songs, most notably Riders, but when it misses, it misses very badly. I'll also add that American Prayer is insanely underrated. |

As a massive Swans fan I kind of agree. It's more because I'm disappointed when I don't have time to hear a whole epic song I'm in the mood for (like Bring the Sun).
