Kirk Hammett Lost His Phone (And, Whoops, 250 Metallica Riffs)

FUSE TV - Kirk Hammett Lost His Phone (And, Whoops, 250 Metallica Riffs)

Metallica might be lightning-riding gods of thrash, but lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is still very much a mortal, 52-year-old-and-only-getting-older man. On Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta's podcast, it came out that Hammett lost an iPhone stocked with 250 "musical ideas." Check it out, via Blabbermouth:

"I put riffs on my iPhone, but something very unfortunate happened to me about six months ago. I lost my iPhone [containing] 250 musical ideas. And I was crushed. It didn't get backed up. And when it happened, I was bummed out for about two or three days. I walked into the house. My wife saw me and she said, 'Uh-oh, what's wrong? Did you get a phone call from a relative?' I said, 'No.' She said, 'What's going on?' I told her, and she understood.

I lost [the phone]. I just plain lost it. I can't find it. I'm still looking for it to this day. I just set it somewhere and… It still might turn up. I'm hoping it will. To try to remember those riffs…? I can only remember, like, eight of 'em. So I just chalked it down to maybe it just wasn't meant to be and I'll just move forward with it."
