Seriously, Malmsteen is far too repetative in his playing and so is Hammett. Malmsteen is good but he's stuck in harmonic minor with no way out except blues and occasionally flamenco which is pretty much harmonic minor some more for him...which gets old fast...and Hammett does pretty much the same with really basic runs in the 12th and , tapping, sweeping etc...
In Both Cases it may sound good, musically it's boring.
