Sadly it was probably Kirk Hammett, circa 1989, now... Not so much

Yeah definitely James and Kirk from Metallica. King Nothing was the first guitar song I remember that made me go, "I'd like to do that."

A fecking ugly chick, too!

Mine was Hank Marvin, of course. There wasn't any other guitar player back then - the rest were all nameless hacks.

Anything from the black album onwards is not really Metallica, you checked out their early stuff?

Robin Lyftogt. He played Iron Maiden's Phantom Of The Opera at form 2 camp. That was when I decided I would give up violin and take you guitar. After that Satch was the first guy to melt many brain.
