Meh. Plebs gonna pleb.

I thought he's been married for a really long time

>>70118527
still a higher level than me so i can't complain

>>70118527
Kirk usually looks pretty sad to me

t. butthurt djentfag who's too autistic to understand why people like good hooks and riffs more than sweep picking

That pretty much describes all of Metallica (switch guitar to drums for Lars) except for Cliff and pre-90s Hetfield

>>70118527
He might not be the best guitarist in metal, but at least he can play to a high level of competency. Can't say the same for Lars. Also at least Kirk's not an arsehole as far as I can tell.

Metal is mostly shit and Metallica are trash but you're even worse for thinking that the ability of the artist has anything to do with the quality of the music

>>70118674
To break it down, Metallica were best if you liked catchy songs you could sing along to. Slayer didn't have much of a sense of melody or songcraft for comparison, but their songs win hands-down for sheer fist-smashing aggression. Anthrax never tried to be anything more than campy good-time fun music.

kirks pretty good

ur mad
>>70118674
this, although metallica is bad

Metallica is shit. Straight from Wikipedia:

Ulrich has been criticised for being a poorly skilled drummer by some fans and media and for diminished performance over the years. Ulrich said in a 2012 interview that he "regressed" at drumming; although he exercises regularly to stay fit, he doesn't regularly practice drums "in order to get better."

"The criticism used to bother me, back in the day – and I spent a lot of time overcompensating for that on the early records. But then you wake up one day and you're like, 'whatever.' It hasn't bothered me for about 15 years. I'm no Joey Jordison. I'm no Mike Portnoy, and I have nothing but love and respect and admiration for all those guys. When I hear some of the young dudes, they blow my mind with what they can do with their feet and stuff – but it's not something that makes me go, 'I need to feel better about myself so I'm gonna learn how to do what they do with my feet.' I'm not a particularly accomplished drummer but I am very, very, very good at understanding the role of the drums next to James Hetfield's rhythm guitar. I guarantee you I'm the best guy in the world for that, and that's enough for me!"

—Lars Ulrich

Kirk peaked on RTL, it was all downhill from there.

kirk isn't even that bad
lars on the other hand

>>70118984
Please watch Kirk play live nowadays. He makes Lars' playing look clean, tight, and organized...

>Metal is mostly shit and Metallica are trash but you're even worse for thinking that the ability of the artist has anything to do with the quality of the music

This sounds like something Christgau would say.

>>70119025
>nowadays.
He's fucking old and probably has arthritis

What the fuck do you expect?

>>70118906
Objectively what's wrong with this quote? Not everything is about how fast you can play.
Also if you think Kirk is a bad guitarist, you're a bad guitarist.

>>70119069
>there are tons of guitarists his age or older, playing just as good, if not better, than they ever have in their life

>>70118527
>t. millennial scenecore kid

>>70118925
Better than most of you lot.

>>70119172
Who are you quoting?

>>70119172
Tony Iommi was playing really tight on the final Sabbath tour and he's almost 70. The hand surgery he got some years ago definitely helped him.
