Dude - a bit of advise:

1. Learn correct english
2. Use punctuation marks every now and then
3. Try to make sense
4. First think - then post

Keeping these in mind will help you not to sound like a completely illiterate kindergarten-dropout.

Well, since we're all (some of us at least), are pulling what we're saying STRAIGHT out of our ass.

I am my greatest guitar influence.

That is quite simply because I am THE greatest guitarist in the history, of the universe.

This is the greatest thread of all time.

It's amazing how much the media can control people. Hell, just take a look at the Rolling Stone Top 100 guitarists. Jack White for Pete's sake made the list. Terrible media.

Kirk Hammet is not good, I don't think he ever was any good. The fact is most of the solos weren't even written by Kirk, James wrote them. To me, that says a lot about Kirk right there. If you're going to talk about a guitarist in Metallica it should either be Cliff Burton or James Hetfield. Not the Hamster man.
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.

Dont forget dave mustain. He used to be in metallica but he was too good so they kicked him out.

I laugh when people say kirk hamster is really good. Someone did tell me that the guitarist from muse was really good once but he doesnt understand anything.
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

That's even funnier than your Kirk post! HAHAHAHA! And you're wrong, if I hit myself in the face, I'd know it, even though I rock and could bury Kirk Hammet.

Santana- so simple, yet so soulful

Roy Buchanan

Dickey Betts

Duane Allman

Mark Knopfler

Hendrix

I think all of the above have a very unique sound. I don't care much for people that are so derivative of others. SRV smokes, but you know who his influence is. I wonder why Robin Trower didn't get the same respect SRV did?

Then there's a whole bunch of old electric blues guys- The 3 Kings, as already mentioned, there's a bunch more, but I'm getting brain lock.
