More quotes by 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'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!
Kirk Hammett
Guitar playing is both extremely easy for me and extremely difficult for me at the same time.
Kirk Hammett
Ampeg made incredible guitar heads in the early Nineties and then stopped. And I don't know why. The one we used had a nice clean, warm sound, and it blended well with the other amps that were in the studio.
Kirk Hammett
Much of my playing is rhythmic and choppy I use a lot of double stops. The wah just accents all those stops and chops and brings out the rhythmic aspect that much more.
Kirk Hammett
I went through a whole blues period in the Nineties, and that had some influence on 'Load' and 'ReLoad.'
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
I think it's morally wrong to keep someone away from what keeps him happy.
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
One of my favorite horror films of the Nineties was 'Event Horizon.'
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
A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
Kirk Hammett
The main riff for 'SandMan' was just something I wrote one night.
Kirk Hammett
It really shocked me just to hear of the fans' response to 'St. Anger' not having guitar solos.
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
Although I'm a lead guitarist, I'd say that a good 95 percent of my time onstage is spent playing rhythm.
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
Basically I just had to say, 'Screw everyone around me - from now on I'm just gonna play what I think is important to me and our music.' So I gave the big finger to all the current trends in technical wizardry, and just went off and did what I felt was best for the songs.
Kirk Hammett
My guitars are my umbilical cord. They're directly wired into my head.
Kirk Hammett
The movie 'Black Cat,' from 1934, is one of my favorite movies.
