I assume. How else to explain his over reliance on it?

I once had the same problem as Rsmacker mentioned earlier. Somebody broke into my house and stole everything I owned, then replaced it all with exact replicas! Took me forever to figure it out!
By the way, dry nuts are not happy nuts.The last thing I want to do is hurt you...but it's still on the list.

I did read an interview somewhere in which Kirk stated that he used his Rhoads for the actual recording of "One," and some other stuff on Justice! Figures that once he stopped using Jacksons after Justice their music went to shit!I love admins!

And I'm going to throw this in there because I know someone is probably going to argue that he never played the Kramer or Ibanez. Go to netflix, put bing and purge on your list and watch the Seattle concert.Last edited by eakinj; 01-25-2008, 11:40 PM.In the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on Nyquil

I've seen him play the Ibanez RG live... it's the guitar he usually smashes. I'm sure he's got several, or maybe he just has them rebuilt.
I've also seen him in a photo playing an Ibanez Iceman.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

I listened again to the Justice album yesterday and I'm wondering if Kirk used a strat or some other single coil guitar for most of the solos. They seem to lack the "in your face" sound of the previous album solos, but have a tinny clarity.
Maybe it's just the shitty production, but it made me wonder.
"The Call of Ktulu" is a masterpiece BTW, even if they did spell it wrong. Those guys managed to write some of the most memorable music ever before they met Bob Rock and started writing piss poor rock n roll with muddy sounding guitars.

Yeah I knew he played a strat in that vid, that's what got me thinking. The lead tone he has on that album just seems a bit thin considering he was, I believe, using EMGs by that stage.
But man, his solos on that album, and the three previous, were awesome.

Och that's just bollocks. In recent years I've come to appreciate Mustaine's playing more and hate Hammett more for his loss of talent, but come on. Give Kirk his due. Mustaine could never even PLAY the solos on Ktulu, Orion, Eye of the Beholder etc never mind write them.
Kirk was a fucking genuis lead guitarist for a long time and he did it all pretty much himself. Mustaine always had someone better than him to help him out be it Poland, Friedman, Pitrelli, Drover etc.
Kirk sucks now, I've seen live recordings of him when the St Anger "album" came out, attempting to play old solos and he was awful. He appears to have lost his chops completely. He also started wearing make up and all that crap long after Poison was even cool. Yeah, Kirk and the rest of the band suck, and so does their music.
But his leadwork up to and including the Black album was pretty much flawless. Like Mustaine could have given us the "Fade To Black" intro solo? Right.
FUCK KIRK HAMMETT, but, at the same time, KIRK WAS A GOD BOW DOWN BEFORE HIM!
