METALLICA MONDAYS
I really enjoyed going back through and learning this track for the Metallica tribute gig. I really believe this is where Kirk Hammett was finding his stride as a guitarist (I'd say getting lessons from the master Joe Satriani would have had something to do with it!) It'd be on this album and the next few he'd create some amazing solos. To me, the opening guitar solo just has a beautiful melody. Click below and enjoy!


My first band gig in 3 years!
So post covid, the gig offers have been coming through hard and fast. Though, I never expected I would get a band gig with the Metallica show "Ride the lightning....." I once jammed with these guys on the Gold Coast back in 2008-2009 or something like that. At the time, I wasn't able to make a commitment with these guys to be their Kirk Hammett. Fast forward all these years later, I get a message from Kris (James), to ask if I could help with filling in for their band mate. W
