Metallica have checked in with the following update:
"Look who showed up to San Diego Comic-Con International! Kirk brought his Kirk Von Hammett action figures down to the floor for a series of signings on both Friday and Saturday (July 25th and 26th).Later in the day on Friday, Kirk joined Robert as well as Chris Prynoski of Titmouse to talk about the "'Tallica Parking Lot animated short that Robert spearheaded last year.
Friday night also saw the Scion A/V Metal Fear FestEvil after-party with Exodus and lots of friends. Keep an eye on the Kirk Von Hammett's Fear FestEvil page here for a full wrap-up from the evening!"
Hammett celebrated his pre-Kill 'Em All life by jamming with his first band, Exodus, at his Fear FestEvil After Party at the San Diego Comic-Con International. The gig was an extension of sorts of Hammett's onstage reunion with the band at his Fear FestEvil in February, where he played their song "Piranha" and a cover of Blue Öyster Cult's "Godzilla" with them. Now, he's saying that onstage reunion led to something bigger: "I play a guitar solo on the new Exodus album," he tells Rolling Stone.
The guitarist reports that after hanging out with founding Exodus drummer Tom Hunting and guitarist Gary Holt, the opportunity came up to play on a song called "Salt In The Wound".
"It felt really casual, really cool – just like it did back in 1980 when we were all just hanging out back in the day," Hammett says. "Me, recording a solo on their album was a huge thing for me. Other than the Exodus demo that's been heard by a lot of people, it's the only time I ever recorded with Exodus. It was a huge thing for me."Read more at Rolling Stone
