I would have to agree. The first time I heard the solo on "Fade To Black," it literally picked me up by the throat and threw me dow to the floor. And till this day, I;'m still begging for more. The biggest concern on your minds is that Metallica have changed their sound drastically over the past few years. Well I wouldn't go that far, because if you ask me they are still some of the hardrest working guys in this business, and whenever I leave their concerts, I'm always more than satisfied. Stop trying to live in the past, the future of Metallica, and Kirk's jazzy playing will live on.

Speaking of jazz, I think it's cool that Kirk has added some jazz elements to his sound, it definitely livens things up a bit. :D Don'tcha think?
