It's not even "shredding". Every time this guy bends a note or plays an arpeggio, I get a migraine. I can find eight year olds on YouTube who play better than Kirk Hammett.

Metallica solos do neither of those things.
This is a funny thread because I agree with both sides. I agree that Kirk is done great things and is a part of one of the greatest bands around but also he kinda sucks. Oh well, it's only an opinion
Same tapping, same scales, same wah, same stuff.
Yeah, maybe, but to me you cant compare EVH to Kirk. Eddie's tone and phrasing are just too good. I think that's where I loose it with Kirt. Even old guys like Billy Gibbons or Iommi, they still have great tone and phrasing. They don't make that great of album's anymore but I still think they are putting out cool solos.
Yeah, comparing EVH to Hammett is like comparing this guy's juggling skills to, say, mine. He could be doing the same routine for years, and still be excellent.
There is skill and then there is who has better songs....
Id much rather listen to Master of Puppets than some lame VH song (imo) like Right Now, or Hot For Teacher any day....
same could be said for many “great” guitar players.... I mean YJM can play, but who can stand listening to him?
