Kirk Hammett is a guitar hero, but when a guitar hero gets to perform with some of their own heroes, that’s truly a special moment.
The Metallica guitarist joined UFO on stage over the weekend at the Avalon Theater in Hollywood as part of the Megacruise pre-party where he performed “Doctor Doctor” and “Shoot Shoot.”
