We got a Kirk Hammett solo on Megadeth album

[Techdeth]

Apparently it was played by Reb Beach.

They also let SteveStevens harmonize Rebs solo

I personally think Dave sounds better here than James does doing it live now haha

This thread inspired me to listen to the entire RTL album this morning at work. It's a classic despite it's flaws.

I remember my whole life, I always have had Master of Puppets as my number one and Kill Em' All as number two, etc. Ride the Lightning was a toss up because the Black Album is a fave too.

The past probably ten years or so, I realized that the only reason I didn't have RTL higher is because I was so used to hearing those songs on their own, in concert vids, etc. That album is a sold number 2 for me now behind MOP. The songs are insane on there.

Kinda fun I guess, although unnecessary.

Makes me sad because it reminds me, Kirk used to be a solid, interesting guitar player. Both he and Lars forgot how to play their instruments after the bloated Black album tour, the tour that stole Metallica's soul.....

But it has to be said, there is no WAY Mustaine would have come up with solos as interesting as the ones Kirk did on that album in 1984. Kirk did a great job!

I remember Kirk being the dude back then. I actually think Lars plays better now than he did during the Load and Unload years where he was an interior designer and sculptor or whatever he was doing.

Nothing beats a solid number two.
