Kirk Hammett Names the Guitar Riff that Shifted Heavy Metal
Most people agree that Black Sabbath invented Heavy Metal. But according to Metallica's Kirk Hammett, they also RE-invented it on their 1975 album "Sabotage".
More specifically, he credits the song "Symptom of the Universe" for a "shift" in music that led to both Thrash Metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal that would spring up in the late '70s and early '80s.
Quote, "Just that song in terms of the attitude, the choice of notes, how it was played, and the fact that it was just the main part of the song and the hooks of it. Once you hear that riff, you'll always hear it again and again.
"It's just an amazing riff. That riff in itself shifted heavy metal and I have to give that album and that particular song a lot of credence."
