Kirk Hammett on PRS Guitars

[VictorB]

Weak argument

“They’re basically Les Paul copies, let’s be frank. It’s a Les Paul-style guitar and I already have amazing Les Pauls”: Kirk Hammett owns over 100 guitars but none of them are PRS. He explains why

The Metallica guitarist has an enviously extensive guitar collection, but it doesn’t feature any of Paul Reed Smith’s builds

Well, I suppose that nothing will ever compare to Greeny.

By the way, anything after Master of Puppets was the long slow slide of decline, as far as I’m concerned. I saw them on the “Justice” tour.

Some guy started shooting people in the crowd in the middle of the set. I saw his hand holding a revolver in the flash of the muzzle when he fired. The house lights came on and security repelled down ropes and got the guy. They beat the shit out of him while dragging him off.

Metallica’s audience was a rough crowd. I like Hetfield’s playing but really could care less about Hammet’s.

I find it hard to believe that Greeny, a guitar originally used for blues and rock, can do a better job at playing metal than most PRS's...particularly when they can ramp up the gain and adjust EQ to correct for any variations to Hammett's usual pristine tone (sarcasm alert).
