Ο Kirk Hammett εξοργίζει ολόκληρη τη βιομηχανία πεταλιών κιθάρας

Μία δήλωση του Kirk Hammett σε πρόσφατη συνέντευξη ήταν αρκετή για να εξοργίσει τη βιομηχανία πεταλιών κιθάρας.

Ο κιθαρίστας των Metallica εισήλθε στον εν λόγω χώρο τον περασμένο χρόνο, με την εταιρεία του KHDK, η οποία παρουσίασε μια νέα σειρά πεταλιών.

Μιλώντας στο Musicradar, ο Hammett ανέφερε «Νομίζω πως είναι η πρώτη φορά που θα δείτε μια εταιρεία πεταλιών να οδηγείται από έναν πραγματικό κιθαρίστα», προκαλώντας, όπως αναμενόταν, πλήθος αντιδράσεων από εταιρείες του «ανταγωνισμού».

Hi @KirkHammett @MusicRadar I run a pedal company w/ my fam, play music/guitar/bass, & have toured. You're not the 1st or last, but welcome.

@KirkHammett REALLY? Almost everybody making new and interesting effects today is a musician. Most of us just can't afford full page ads.

@KirkHammett @KHDKElectronics @MusicRadar you would be surprised how many actual guitar players own and operate pedal companies!

@KirkHammett Looking forward to finding out whether your electronics knowledge and soldering skills are as good as my guitar playing.

@KirkHammett welcome. Many pedal designs come from our experiences as players. Looking forward to yours. pic.twitter.com/2avBGMJPgC

@KirkHammett @MusicRadar I guess you now understand you just told all of us that play guitar and build pedals to fuck off. Not in my store.

@KirkHammett Don't act like you didn't hire third party engineers to design every aspect of these pedals.
