Bigs Quote by Kirk Hammett

“Basically I just had to say, Screw everyone around me - from now on I'm just gonna play what I think is important to me and our music. So I gave the big finger to all the current trends in technical wizardry, and just went off and did what I felt was best for the songs.” quote by Kirk Hammett — Download Open image
