And in the midst of the madness for Metallica in anticipation of the new Album “72 Seasons”, which we remind you is released on April 14, Kirk Hammett set out to alienate us, stating that the solo of “Master of Puppets” makes him bored to play it. Even though it is one of the most popular and loved songs.
The statement is typical:
“What I’m going to say is that people are probably going to hate it, but it drives me crazy to play that fucking guitar solo in Master of Puppets every time.”
He went on to say,
“People love that guitar solo and they come to see that. That’s okay. For this part of our career, all those solos are a given. I don’t see them as solos anymore. They’re parts. I get bored of it, but it’s exciting to the world hears it”.
And summarizing his words, “You know, I’m not bored of soloing. I’m just bored of playing the same thing all the time.”
