The Bio and Whatnot of Kirk Hammet


DOB: 11/16/62

Height: 5'8" Likes: Questionable Medical Devices, Absolut Vodka, Old horror-movie stuff.

Dislikes: Sports and Napster

What Does He Do? He plays mind-blowing lead guitar, and he does backup vocals.

Kirk was born in San Fransico. (He isn't gay!) and like most of the true people of San Fran, Kirk has multiple tattoos, piercings, and other weird stuff, along for a love of Absolut Vodka. He doesn't like sports and roots for the team James or Lars dislikes. Kirk also has a weird collection of ol-school horror movie stuff. (His ESP Boris Karloff mummy guitar.) Unlike James and Lars, he wasn't in Napster Bad!, but he did make the hilarious Sue All The Music World.
