More quotes by Kirk Hammett
One of my favorite horror films of the Nineties was 'Event Horizon.'
Kirk Hammett
The movie 'Black Cat,' from 1934, is one of my favorite movies.
Kirk Hammett
I'm not into that whole Satanic thing. It's just something to fall back on if you don't have much imagination. Singing you fiftieth song about having lunch with Satan--I'm not into it. It's silly.
Kirk Hammett
I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.
Kirk Hammett
Guitar playing is both extremely easy for me and extremely difficult for me at the same time.
Kirk Hammett
I think it's morally wrong to keep someone away from what keeps him happy.
Kirk Hammett
I'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!
Kirk Hammett
I was really, really wild in my early twenties and a bit self-destructive.
Kirk Hammett
For a while I was collecting Satan and devil stuff - you know, anything that had to do with old Beelzebub or Lucifer. But I had to put the brakes on it, because there's a lot of stuff out there, and the collection was just growing too quickly.
Kirk Hammett
If a guitar is too easy for me to play, it makes me too laid back. I like to battle with my guitar.
Kirk Hammett
I went through a whole blues period in the Nineties, and that had some influence on 'Load' and 'ReLoad.'
Kirk Hammett
We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.
Kirk Hammett
If I had unlimited funds, wall space and storage, I would collect a lot more things, like 'Planet of the Apes,' 'Star Wars,' science fiction stuff, autographs, and prop guns and weapons. I have to draw the line somewhere.
Kirk Hammett
Jeff Beck is one of my heroes and has been since I first picked up a guitar.
Kirk Hammett
Metallica is a very complicated, fragile thing. On the outside, it's all metal, but on the inside it's very delicate.
Kirk Hammett
We wanted to offer something new to our audience. I hate it when bands stop taking chances.
Kirk Hammett
For the 'Load' album, I was experimenting so much with tone that I had to keep journals on what equipment I was using. For 'Hero of the Day', I know I used a 1958 Les Paul Standard with a Matchless Chieftain, some Boogie amps and a Vox amp - again, they're all blended.
Kirk Hammett
Although I'm a lead guitarist, I'd say that a good 95 percent of my time onstage is spent playing rhythm.
Kirk Hammett
Musically, there's a movement called the flatted fifth that's really evil-sounding. It was outlawed by the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. That movement is what gives you a real evil sound that conjures up dark, fantastic images. It's like an audio horror movie. It personifies what a horror movie is about.
Kirk Hammett
A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
