I know there's alot of (undeserved) bashing of hammett's skills floating around the internet, but I really wouldn't put him in here (what's a Hendrix killer anyway?). Kirk can play fast, but his best solos were constructed by Hetfield. When Kirk goes it alone (improv or writing) he easily gets stuck in patterns or simply slams on his wah. maybe he made a concious decision to drop modal playing, but i think in the realm of metal guitar leads, pentatonics don't cut it.
MagPie, if you've never heard Stevie Ray Vaughan's versions of Little Wing and Vodoo Chile, do yourself a favor and check them out.
