Reitnouer 100k GVWR

That's a perfect example! I knew they were done when Justice came out. All the crap they talked about never selling out, never making videos blah blah blah. Then Sharon Osborne got ahold of them after Cliff died. The Black album and everything after it is utter garbage. They should have have just changed their name and let Metallica die with Burton. Ironically, they stole sooooooo much from Diamondhead I'm amazed they weren't sued. Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning are full of ripped off riffs. Quite sad considering Hammett was taught by Satriani.

 

I had no idea. I'll have to read up on those...

 

Kirk Hamster. What a scumbag lol?! Listen to Diamond Head's album, "Sucking My Love" in it's entirety a couple times if you already haven't. You'll hear riffs that were only changed by like a flat or a sharp and used on several songs on "Kill 'Em All". I was very disappointed when I heard it. I was in middle school and just learning how to play guitar when that album came out. Hammet was a guitar idol to me. I studied his playing intensely to develop my own. I feel like I was robbed!
