Skillwise, Marty Friedman is too much for Kirk Hammet...
Pero Kirk Hammet has the appeal to make the crowd go gaga..
I'm not saying that Kirk Hammet sucks. Magaling din yun ah.. He would not become the Lead guitarist of Metallica kung di sya magaling..
It's like a comparison between Slash and Guthrie Govan..
Guthrie is a demi-god guitarist when skill is the concern..
Pero Slash pleases everyone.. In fact, he was once the highest paid instrumentalist in the world..
