Nice collection Kirk, wish it was mine. Lucky bastard.
Hammett’s got the life.Not only does he probably have the greatest horror memorabilia collection of all time,but he’s also the guitarist for the biggest,greatest,and most influential metal band of all time.
Most influential metal band of all time? Apparently you’ve never heard of Black Sabbath.
Um yeah,I’ve heard of Sabbath.But Sabbath’s first 5 albums cant stand up against Metallica first 5.They lost it after Vol.4-Iommi is still the original king of riffs though.
This is a great video, and I can’t wait to get the book. I resonate with much in Hammett’s experience and reflection. I too was raised in northern California in the television broadcast area where Bob Wilkins was a regular influence as a Creature Features host. I also felt like an outcast as a teenager, and in many ways as an adult I continue to. My past and present obsession with monsters and the fantastic, and my resulting monster and sci-fi and fantasy collection, although not as large and expensive as Hammett’s, also provides me with nostalgia, inspiration, and I would add, a sense of connection to the sacred. It’s great to find another member of the tribe, and from so unlikely a profession. Thanks for this video.
I want that collection *.*
But where are the past several Metallica albums?
