Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has contributed guitar work to Carlos Santana's "All That I Am," due September 13. As with his past two records, the disc will pair Santana with contemporary artists, but Hammett will likely be the only metal performer. Other acts on the record include Michelle Branch, Mary J. Blige, Big Boi, Black Eyed Peas, Los Lonely Boys, Sean Paul and Robert Randolph.

Exactly Metal-up-ur-ass!

Honestly, he still played some great guitar on St. Anger, it wasn't as long as some of his other work, but it was still great.

Broken, we're both huge metallica fans, but hammet's guitar on St. Anger doesn't even compare to his earlier playing, and secondly and off subject kinda, kill em all has one of the best solos ever on Jump in the Fire . . . which was done by Mustaine i believe, and as much as i hate dave mustaine, he is a f***ing amazing guitarist

As a guitar player myself, I wish Santana would stop whoring it up for pop stars to sell records. He's much too talented to be playing with Michelle Branch, Sean Paul??, etc... I still like him but he should make a non commercial album that showcases his true talent.

Guess who??, shut up write now. Just shut the fukk up. Metallica is not going to go on Jane Pauley with Black Muscle shirts, jeans and wristbands like at the concerts. Besides, these guys are gettin pretty old. You should be happy that one of the biggest metal bands in history is on a talk show! IN UR FACE SUBURBIA!!!!
