Cryptic, ok I agree, the St Anger cd is a big steaming dog turd but the earlier stuff was amazing. I actually like the leads on Kill Em All, yes it's cheesy and over the top by todays standards but for it's time it was ground breaking material.

Jolly, I 've never noticed any mistakes in Seek And Destroy, but then again I havent listened THAT closely recently. If there is one there, "I prostrate myself before you and beg your forgiveness" (name that movie)

Well, the thing about Hammet is he hits a lot of off notes. When he's tremolo picking you can hear him hit a lot of notes twice that he means to hit only once and such.
