Episode 211 - Icons: Kirk Hammett Interview

Happy New Year!

In this episode we break down the wonderful Gibson Icons interview with Kirk Hammett which details his musical journey with Metallica from the beginning days of Bay Area thrash through the world dominance of the Black Album. We also discuss the news that Metallica is working on their "heaviest" album to date, Metallica's record breaking streaming numbers and the revenge of a Tik Tok True.
