Kirk Hammett Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Kirk Lee Hammett (created November 18, 1962) is the lead guitarist as well as a songwriter in the heavy metal band Metallica and is a person in the group since 1983. Before joining Metallica he formed and named the group Exodus. In 2003, Hammett was rated 11th on “Rolling Stone”‘s list of The 100 Greatest Guitarists Ever. In 2009, Hammett was rated number 5 in Joel McIver’s novel “The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists”.

Hammett has written and given riffs for Metallica songs because the group’s second record . Any of these riffs, used in “Enter Sandman” became one of Metallica’s most famous tunes. The bridge for “Creeping Death” was initially an Exodus riff that Hammett took with him to Metallica. After the draw was finished, Burton looked at Hammett, and said “I need your berth,” to which Hammett concurred, saying that he may have the ability to sleep better in the very front of the bus anyhow. Early the following morning the tour bus slid off the street and overturned, throwing Burton from the window — later killing Burton. Hammett has said in a interview he once believed that it easily could’ve been him who was killed rather, since Burton was sleeping in what was considered Hammett’s berth. He afterwards declared himself, “We attempted to set in solos but they seemed to be an afterthought so we left them out”. In 2009, Hammett supplied the foreword to British writer Joel McIver’s novel To Live Is to Die: The Life and Death of Metallica’s Cliff Burton.

#Quote
1I think it's morally wrong to keep someone away from what keeps him happy.
2There was a lot of anguish after Cliff died, and basically Jason was the punching bag. We vented so much on him, and it wasn't really fair. [on how Metallica coped with the transition from bassist Cliff Burton to Jason Newsted]
3We were very, very frightened. I had to sit down and take stock of my life and see if I had a life outside the band, because I was questioning if there was even a future for Metallica. That was a scary thought; when you've been in a band for as long as we have, you take for granted that it's always going to be there. [recalling the uncertainty of Metallica's future, after Jason Newsted left the band and James Hetfield entered rehab]
4A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
