|
||
soon to be released. #1 is about James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett. #2 you'll
|
||
havta find out. O.k, on wit the show---
|
||
|
||
|
||
JAMES HETFEILD-=-=-Master of lyrics and killer riffs!
|
||
James Hetfield is a rarity in Metal<!>a frontman who would rather take a back
|
||
seat when it comes to discussing himself and his muzak. The most private
|
||
member of Metallica...James has made no secret 0f the fact that he hates
|
||
doing interviews and prefers to let his muzak do the talkin'. On the rare
|
||
ocassion when he does speak 0ut, he's VERY h0nest and blunt. In person he can
|
||
be shy or outgoing, quiet or loud, depending on his mood. Ask 6 different
|
||
people about him and you'll get 6 diffr'nt answers. In addition to composing
|
||
and playing wickedly creative riffs, he writes and sings some of Metal's most
|
||
intellegent, powerful lyrics and that no one else could ever make them sound
|
||
"so grim, so true, so real"
|
||
The son of strict Christian Scientists, James was a quiet kid, and
|
||
was into sports<kinda eerie, huh?> His older stepbrother played drums in a
|
||
local band and turned James into rock in general, Black Sabbath in
|
||
particular. In his junior year, the Hetfields moved from from Downey to
|
||
LaBrea, CA, where James attended a "really preppy high school". It was the
|
||
kind of place where it was taboo to like sports AND have long hair. James
|
||
kept his hair and dove into his guitar. He played f0r a while in "High
|
||
School party band" Obsession, doing mostly Zeppelin and Sabbath covers and
|
||
latre formed Leather Charm, an outfit he once described as "Not too happenin'"
|
||
It was around that time that he met and hooked up wit Ron McGovney, who would
|
||
soon be Metallica's FIRST bass player. Metallica was formed when James
|
||
met Lars Ulrich through an ad in RECYCLER 0riginally the bands singer,
|
||
James wound up playing rhythm guitar as well when they couldn't find any one
|
||
else wit the right feel. Latre Metallica looked into a frontman to give James full concentration
|
||
on guitar, but it never happened, so he continued doin' both.
|
||
Metallica just wouldn't be Metallica any other way.
|
||
|
||

Welp, thats de first part from me, Splattergut. Hope you enjoyed it.
|
||
What would be cool is that you print it out and put it in your bathr00m for
|
||
future references!
|
||
|
||
|
||
Now on to part 2...you probably just skimmed the above note from me....
|
||
|
||
KIRK HAMMETT-=-=-=-Just a normal down-to-earth virtuoso
|
||
Kirk Hammett has the destinction of being the most cheerful member of
|
||
Metallica. Usally in a good mood and a unfailingly genial, his sunny nature
|
||
can belie the fact that he's a very serious, very accomplished guitar player.
|
||
The de late '60, Kirk's older "hippie" brother turned him into Jimi
|
||
Hendrix, Santana, Led Zeppelin and other happenin' sounds way back then.
|
||
When brother Rick was at school, young Kirk would pick up the guitar and
|
||
attempt to play. He seriously began to play at 15 and started a garage bamd
|
||
"about two weeks latre". Kirk, a friend who recently got a bass and other guy
|
||
who could sing all plugged into one amp in the bassist garage.
|
||
After school, Kirk took jobs in a warezhouse<just kidding> really in
|
||
a warehouse and a Burger King(tm)in order to buy guitars and an amp. At age
|
||
20, he decided to take guitar lessons and studied with Joe Satriani for a
|
||
few years to refine his technique. In '81, Kirk and drummer Tom Hunting,
|
||
formed Exodus. They gigged around local and once played on the same bill as
|
||
Metallica.(right before the band flew to N.Y. for their 1t LP)
|
||
It was while Metallica were out east they decided Dave Mustaine must go.
|
||
When kirk recieved a call asking him to join de band, he thought it was an
|
||
April Fool's joke. No joke, he flew to New York where he jammed wit James,
|
||
Cliff, and Lars. Kirk 'members it being a strange situation cuz he really
|
||
didn't know them and they weren't letting on om what they thought of him. He
|
||
realized that he was hired when he was included in the recording of
|
||
"Kill 'em All". Casual beginning to what would be a momentous relationship.
|
||
Kirk's inventive leads and k-k00l attitude are one quarter of what
|
||
makes Metallica great.
|
||
|
||
AHHHHH! That's better. Well, hope ya enjoyed part I of this shit.
|
||
I would like to thank MOVIE MIRROR for making s0me 0f this possible.....
|
||
Shit...I guess that's all from me......go get the next issue or else.
