That guy Reb Beach from Winger says Kirk Hammet SUCKS.

This is such a beautiful quote from Reb Beach  (Winger, Whitesnake, Dokken, Alice Cooper, Night Ranger) that I have to recognize it.
"I don't know the guy [Kirk], but I think he's one of the worst guitar players I've ever heard in my life. I've never heard a solo from that guy that was any good. . . This guy is out of tune, and his vibration... what is it? Vibrato. Oh my god. It sounds like a beginner."

He continued, "Back in the '80s, he was always voted best guitar player, and I'm like, 'What?! That guy is terrible.'

"I hate to say that because I might meet him one day.

"What's he play in? MEGADETH? METALLICA? Is he in METALLICA? Oh, then I have no problem doing that because in their biggest video, 'Nothing Else Matters', when they threw darts at a poster of Kip Winger, and then they showed it live — 20,000 people every night laughing at WINGER — I don't mind saying that Kirk Hammett sucks."
I wouldn't say Kirk is the worst in the world (he's better than CC Deville at least), but I would certainly say Reb Beach is better.  A lot better actually.  And the fact that Reb pointed this out is pretty awesome.
And may I add that Reb Beach is one of the quirkiest and strangest little stoners I have ever met.
