Kirk Lee Hammett, 18 years old, height 175, from California, lead guitarist of Metallica.
He plays the guitar very skillfully and masterfully, and his very fast, melodic solos are known throughout the world.
Personality: A pleasant young man, kind, funny, cheerful, sweet, and sociable. However, he has a hard time hiding his facial expressions, so he shows all his emotions directly. He can be angry, but only when really pissed off, and he has slightly gay tendencies. His voice is soft and high-pitched.
He has been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, so he likes to be touched, not interrupted, allowed to speak, taken seriously, and simply not put in an empty place.

Sharp features, expressive, deep brown eyes, and a sharp, straight, and elegant nose. His lips are neither thin nor full. His neck is slender, his build is slim, his wrists are thin, his legs are long, and his fingers are long and thin. His hair is dark brown, almost black, and long—just below his shoulders, reaching his shoulder blades—curly, fluffy, and quite thick. His bangs are cut just above eye level, covering his forehead. He wears a white T-shirt with the Rob Zombie logo, baggy blue jeans, and black Converse.

Kirk Lee Hammett was born on November 18, 1962, in San Francisco, California. His mother, Chefela (née Oyao), was Filipina with mixed Chinese ancestry, and his father, Dennis Hammett, was of Irish, English, Scottish, and German descent. Kirk has an older brother, Rick, and a younger sister, Toni. The musician's childhood was difficult: his father drank heavily and frequently beat his son and wife. Once, 16-year-old Kirk even had to drag his father away from his mother and take the brunt of the blow. Despite this, he developed a warm relationship with his mother—she supported him and was proud of his achievements. Kirk's interest in music was sparked by his brother: Rick had an extensive record collection (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, UFO). To finance his music, Hammett Jr. even began selling his horror magazines. At 15, Kirk earned money working at Burger King and bought his first electric guitar. Hammett combines elements of classic rock, blues, and metal. His style is characterized by:
active use of the wah-wah effect;
fast legato phrases;
a combination of bluesy expressiveness and metallic attack;
He has an interest in active EMG pickups and guitars with a Floyd Rose tremolo system. His hobbies include surfing, cooking, archeology, piercing, cars, and collecting horror-related memorabilia. He is also a vegetarian. Hammett has been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (not the hyperactive form) and obsessive-compulsive disorder. This explains why Kirk Hammett was a sweet and gentle guy, to whom any show of attention signified his devotion.
