I do agree with you about Kirk. He is consistently overrated, but mostly by people who haven't listened to enough metal to fill a teacup.
Why would they have to listen to Metal to appreciate him? Thats foolish.

Half the metal that could fill a tea cup is self-indulgent noodling, with the only redeeming quality being that it isn't the rage-tard on the microphone who can't give himself an aneurysm soon enough.
