A low-quality video clip of
METALLICA guitarist
Kirk Hammett performing with
TOOL during their headlining appearance at the Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu, Hawaii on Friday (August 18) has been posted online at
YouTube.com. According to one
TOOL fan's eyewitness account posted at the
ToolNavy.com web site,
TOOL frontman
Maynard James Keenan introduced
Hammett by saying, "We have a special guest tonight. He's not [unintelligible], and he's not
Elvis. Well, maybe he's their bastard son,
Mr. Kirk Hammett." "[
Kirk] then proceeded to come out and play guitar on
'Sober'. I've never been partial to
METALLICA, and for those of you who are, I'm sorry to report that
Kirk damn near butchered the song. His drunken so-called 'solo' was particularly sloppy and completely extraneous. Only the band coming back through to thrash the rest of the song out extremely hard saved it. Then he totally tripped out and flustered
Adam [
Jones,
TOOL guitarist] by grabbing him for his 'hug' and kissing him on the mouth! Only to return at the end of the show to the stage to perform the 'we're not worthy!' bow on his knees before the guys. At least he realizes."
