In this episode, we delve into Kirk Hammett's spontaneous approach to recording solos for Metallica's album '72 Seasons.' Unlike his meticulously composed solos from iconic albums like 'Master of Puppets' and 'The Black Album,' Hammett's new style uses the blues scale excessively, resulting in predictable and uninspiring solos. He improvised 20 to 30 solos and left the editing to Lars Ulrich and Greg Fidelman, but the end result leaves much to be desired.
