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.
I'm saying that the people who hold Kirk in such high esteem haven't heard anything by similarly talented artists: Devin Townsend, Lee Altus, Marty Friedman, Mikael Akerfeldt, etc. They're not obscure and they certainly aren't noodlers. But they put Hammett to shame easily enough.
