Sorry I didn't get into more detail.
Here are just a few better than Hammett:
Please listen to the playing from:
the dude.....................tune...................................CD
John Norum.......... Heart of Stone...........The Final Countdown
John Norum.............Opium Trail......................Distant Voices
Zakk Wylde.............1,000,000 miles..........Book of shadows
Randy Rhodes...................Mr Crowley.............Blizzard
Paul Gilbert..........To be with you....slow melodic non-shreding - Paul on ice
George Lynch...The Hunter............under lock and key (dokken)
George Lynch.....when heaven comes down.......beast from the east
Marty Friedman & Dave Mustaine ...Hanger 18.... Rust in piece
Marty Friedman & Dave Mustaine ...Lucretia.....Rust in piece
Ty Tabor.....................Pretend..............Dogman (king's x)
Ty Tabor.....................higher than God......Tape Head
John Sykes................This is the One....thunder and lightning (thin lizzy)
John Sykes...............Ptolemy................blue murder
there are many others way better than Kirk,
like Joe on ice nine or satch boogie,
or in his sleep....
but my fingers are tired.
You get the idea.
Sure Kirk has a few great tunes and solos...
but for a major band that's toured for 20 years...
He should be fifty times better, like Randy was.
Happy New Year
