I'm glad he didn't dwell too much on soloing.

I truely thought this said "Since you don't hear much of Kinks on the CDs..." at first (it's early) LOL!

I thought it was cool. What year is the from (it says GW 2005 but it must have been recorded a long time ago me thinks).

He was playing a cool Gibson at first, but then switched to an ESPee LOL!

[/ QUOTE ]Wow! Harsh criticism there. Must be really cool though to suck and still sell records and have people come out and pay to watch your band play! [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Kirk isn't bad, he's just mediocre and not very unique. Hats off to him though...... he's written a few really cool solos and is living the dream.

Some of the greatest metal tunes ever written. To me.. Master of Puppets is the heavy metal version of The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album.
He's just an average lead player though.
Because of the songs he has written.. I am a huge fan.

I would have said The White Album but your point is made [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Kirk is a perfectly acceptable player. His solos on RTL & MOP are perfect for the music...

What songs did Kirk write? He ONLY played solos on the old albums (up to the black album).

Re: Since you don\'t hear much of Kirk on the CDs...

You know, he is a really nice guy....but I HATE his lead style. Look, he is better than I am, but in my ears his solos suck.

The only Metallica solo I have ever liked is from "Nothing Else Matters", and that is James.

Not really...but I haven't listened to that record in quite some time.

I wish he would shelve the wah-wah pedal for good.

Also, is it just me, or did he have quite an ass-load of equipment to creat what was really a very mediocre tone??
