Aw come on, he isn't that bad is he? :think:

[jgcable]

compared to Reb Beach, he does suck. Kirk is a lousy soloist but if he writes the songs for Metallica, he is a great song writer. Anybody that can pen MOP, is a great songwriter.

[MetalMedal II]

lol, He's just angry cos Beavis wore the Metallica shirt and Stewart wore the Winger.

Beach may be a great player, but I don't know cos I aint listening to those songs!

[VitaminG]

can't disagree with anything Reb says. He doesn't make any comparisons between himself and Kirk, only comments on Hamster's playing.

Not only is Reb a smoking lead player, he writes some of the coolest rhythm riffs.

Hammett is leaps and bounds ahead of Beach. Not only in playing ability, but by being in a band that has endured 3 decades and keeps getting better. Not to mention, Hammett's choice of guitars is always a one up on Beach. The only solo I liked Beach do was "17" and that was just wanking off really fast, that's all.

He needs to change his tampon.

Whatever other talents he has, doing the old ""What's he play in? MEGADETH? METALLICA? Is he in METALLICA?" is super lame.

Yeah that fuggin pissed me of when he said megadeth considering every guitarist thats been in megadeth is light years above beach. Ok maybe not lightyears.

I agree. Everyone seems to bag on him but come on, the guy in the real scheme of things is pretty darn good, both in playing ability and in writing. Because there are other players who may do things better does not mean Hammet sucks, it just means they are better.

This guy lost all credibility with that comment about vibrato. Anybody claiming to be a guitar great should know what the hell vibrato is....he's also butthurt because Lars is throwing darts at a Winger poster in the Nothing Else Matters video. The only reason anybody knows who Beach is is because he was first part of the big hair metal trend and now he's come back because of a sudden 80's nostalgia trend.

If he was really so great, he wouldn't need those trends to be known.

[VitaminG]

he lost credibility because he stammered and said vibration instead of vibrato? Reb has good vibrato, Kirk does not. Whether he knows how to say it or not.

It's funny you accuse Reb of relying on trends given that he was a session ace before Winger and played many different styles depending on the gig. Since Winger he has continued to play basically the same style of hard rock in each band he has been in. Maybe he should have chased trends, started playing country rock and then stopped playing solos, before returning to thrash when the youngsters started getting into bands like Trivium, BFMV & Evile.

Y'know, like Metallica did.

Whatever other talents he has, doing the old ""What's he play in? MEGADETH? METALLICA? Is he in METALLICA?" is super lame.

of course, it is possible that he doesn't listen to heavier styles and only has a vague awareness of who is in what band. Shocking to all Metallica fans, I know. Who was the bass player in Kreator again? I like the band, but if someone asked me right now, I couldn't say. Unless I could sneakily google it....
