Read who wrote the songs on those albums... See how little input Hammett had not to mention his sloppy technique.
I don't mind people thinking his the best (even tho IMO his rubbish) but saying HE revolutionized metal :(

Any way listening to Cacophony as of late Jason Becker just :eek: And I believe he was 17 when he recorded Speed Metal Symphony.
