This is likely the song that defined Metallica's musical goals. It's not that Hammet couldn't do it like Uli. It's that Hammet cared enough to try. Metallica rules.
@gorgatch I wouldn't really call him a professional musician. I'M a professional musician, he's just a performer with some degree of skill but take him out of his genre and he's just another guitarist.
@Medihvable I do think that much gain fits the song... Have you heard Testament's version? What I think does NOT fit the song is that guy with the red Flying V. He sucks big time!
but this solo if you want to lay really like uli,is fucking hard,its the only solo that wh.en i saw played slowly i realize it was harder than it looks played fst cause slow you see the micro bends,the .its plenty of litle not usual details.theres lots of guys playing this solo on youtube even myself played it...but i never saw anyone do it with this weird bends is really kind of a sitar technique.see uli lesson of this solo on youtube.hope it helps

hahaha i bet you half of those people dont even know what song that is. because they were to busy looking at these SELLOUTS!! Fuck New Metallica! And Justice For All And Forward (Downhill)
I like how Kirk listened to Scorpions and Uli and tried to recreate Sails of charon. Obviously Scorpions's version is way better, but this one's not bat either! I'm proud of Kirk for this :D. Long live Scorpions and Metallica!
@skaterobban I respect Mustaine don't worry. But It's not a reason to hate Kirk Hammet. I just can say than I love what he do When I hear his guitar riffs on fade to black,Welcome home (sanitarium),one and so many other songs. I don't know if his solos are impressive,but some riff he created are just beautiful and amazing.
How Ironic Kirk Claim to play guitar 361 days a year, after 30 years of experience and he can barely pull of a basic pentatonic scale solo without messing up. I love Metallica but more Kirk is getting older, more he fail...
I don't get where the hostility is coming from. He only did the opening riff to Sails of Charon (correctly btw), the soloing he did isn't supposed to be, from what I can tell, the solo to the song.
apparently he took lessons from Joe Satriani... he must have been either a) drunk or b) asleep or c) both a and b, during his lessons.. because I don't know how else Steve Vai and Alex Skolnick (who also took lessons from Satch) turned out so well and Kirk turned out so shitty... and he hasn't gotten any better in almost 30 years... wtf?
@thecurse23 i dont think either a,b or c is correct...well he is in a thrash metal band.that u need to realize..a band that makes music which does not sound similar in every album with the same licks..no disrespect to steve vai.but guitar players like him are pretty boring..
@mulholland1985 And why you have solved that it solo he has simply decided to make lyrical digression, always wait for that that of the best and they too people well hasn't played and what now???
@1Sifting no he actually played it technically well enough, it just dosent sound very good. I get where your coming from though alot of the folks who comment on here about how trash Kirk is usually cant play at his caliber.
Must be a real ego trip to stand on stage, play some sub-par, generic, hackneyed bullshit - and have thousands of people roar in approval as you raise your fist in triumph.
I would have been embarrassed to play that solo in public when I was 18, much less as a full grown man with decades of experience.
Metallica may always stand as the epitome of selling out and turning to shit.
Seriously - fuck these guys. Twenty years after the 'Black Album' and I'm still pissed.
@Msan666 Im not a Metallica hater,In fact i Love Metallica Since i first saw them live at the L'Amours in Brooklyn back in the early 80's Probably way before you where even born..But come now,If you knew what kirk was trying to play you would say the same thing...And although Im NOT a fan of Justin Bieber music,He is rather a good musician for his age,Check out his Percussion talent on Youtube...And your sissy boy comment,LMFAO!!Good one,I'm surprised you didn't call me a Cocky Poo Poo head.
@Joeskint Kirk the good fellow has simply decided to execute song which as well know in this country as well as to a metallica....Beauty in music not only in complexity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
somehow it became popular to bash Kirk (and Lars too). Have you forgotten master of puppets, for example? Back in the 80's Metallica was the game changer, opposite to mainstream, no music videos. Remember how different metallica was compared to all the 80s shit?
even still, metallica is great for catchy melodies and an image, but the hard work doesn't show. the riffs are very similar to each other, and Lars is a C grade drummer by metal standards. Why has Lars never done anything new?
come on all you clever boys!who are you to judge kirk hammet?have you ever reached his career?have you ever served the music you like so much like him?everybody likes to criticized but when comes to him, he's nothing to say.everybody knows that uli is better guitarist than kirk, but that doesn't means that kirk is not awesome, try to play or create some solos with YOUR signature like him at unforgiven 1 and then you speak .-
Terrible. Without Metallica Kirk Hammet would be just another 40-year old Guitar Center cashier. James Hetfield rox my sox tho
