- Apr 22, 2009 5:45 pm PTHow exactly did Kirk Hammet score lower than James Hetfield? Hammet plays lead guitar and Hetfield plays rhythm (as a general rule, of course) And I'm glad Petrucci scored that high, although I would put him first :P

Sounds about right... Dave Mustaine is one of the most devoted guys to his band I've ever seen.He writes all the songs, he sings while playing some killer riffs, and he can dish out a mean solo too.Plus, not many people could get kicked out and deserted by their best friends, far far away from home and get over it the way he did.
