More quotes by 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
I think it's morally wrong to keep someone away from what keeps him happy.
Kirk Hammett
Guitar playing is both extremely easy for me and extremely difficult for me at the same time.
Kirk Hammett
I went through a whole blues period in the Nineties, and that had some influence on 'Load' and 'ReLoad.'
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
I'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!
Kirk Hammett
The movie 'Black Cat,' from 1934, is one of my favorite movies.
Kirk Hammett
I've been into horror movies ever since I was five years old.
Kirk Hammett
A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
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
The main riff for 'SandMan' was just something I wrote one night.
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
When I got my first Marshall amp, it was so empowering. No one ever forgets their first Marshall amp if you're a guitar player pursuing a big powerful sound. I mean, no one ever forgets their first Marshall amp.
Kirk Hammett
Jeff Beck is one of my heroes and has been since I first picked up a guitar.
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
It really shocked me just to hear of the fans' response to 'St. Anger' not having guitar solos.
Kirk Hammett
Horror movies started to wane around the onset of World War II, and after World War II, when all the troops came home, people weren't really interested in seeing horror movies, because they had the real horror right on their front doorsteps.
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 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
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.
