Thats not true at all...
Ya wanna tell me that
That the same rift's from to "Kill em All" are the same rifts as "Justice for all"?
Ya neophyte...
Listen carefully you will know that a There is alot more than Arpegiated scales involved in several different modes...
And going to Arpegiated Myxolydian scale's as well with perfect tone.

Do you even know what an arpeggio is ?
First off .. I never even mentioned anything about arpeggiating ... secondly can you explain to me what an "arpeggiated scale" is ? Or do you just mean playing arpegios within a single mode ?
I really don't see what that has to do with what I said though ..
Kirk uses the same motifs during solos .. which is all I said. And I'm not talking about his riffs, intros or what-not .. I mean, for example, listen to the tapping solo in One and then listing the fast solo for Master Of Puppets .. with the tapping aside he basically just reharmonizes the phrases he uses in the master of puppets solo. Listen to fade to black and it's the same type of phrasing. I'm not saying they're exactly 100% the same .. but they give the exact same feeling. I get that impression from everything I've ever him do. He just doesn't add any variation to anything he does.
If you think you've got a good, diverse, opinion of the great guitarists out there you're going to have to stop pushing names like David Gilmoure lol. Not to downplay him.. I think he's the best example thus far of an amazing phraser. But you're neglecting all the guitarists out there who really know how to mix it up.
Listen to some Vai, Petrucci, Satriani, Jennifer Batton, Ynwie Malmsteen, Michael Angelo etc. (though I must admit angelo isn't the greatest example of a phraser either .. he's just a fast as fuck picker and sweeper but that's besides the point.)
But what really strikes me as off about your post was this:
"And going to Arpegiated Myxolydian scale's as well with perfect tone."
Huh ? Who mentioned myxolidian ? I sure as fuck hope you're not trying to claim that Kirk prefers Myxo .. or has even ever used it at all. It's a major mode and I can't think of a single Metallica song that done using a major key signature... though I must admit I don't listen to that much Metallica so I will certain admit the error of that statement should someone bring forth an example.
Kirk loves phrygian and aeolian like I said. I've never heard him use anything different.
