here's a question for more argumen... err i mean discussion: what makes a good guitarist?
plenty of people like kirks playing, but according to many of you he is not a good guitarist, so i guess that means people dont have to like you for you to be good..
i dont believe metallica can be considered 'sell-outs' because of the same reasons already mentioned, they basically did what they wanted to.. kirk expresses himself however he wants to - and we can like it or dislike it, but can we say he's a bad guitarist?
think about it, if you play some music and i dont like your style.. do i have the right to say you are a bad guitarist? i dont think so
seriously i think some people have some personal issues about kirk(and his acclaimed guitar skills) and im not sure why.. but its interesting to hear about, thats for sure
