Kirk Hammett
Kirk Hammett, still a member of Metallica, was drafted at the age of 16 as a substitute for Dave Mustaine, the former guitarist of Metallica. His parents placed him on a plane to New York to meet the band after frontman James Hetfield confronted Hammett. As he stepped into the room, the band was not pleased by the boy, but they signed him on the spot as soon as he nailed the solo for the single “Seek and Destroy.”

Chuck Berry
Chuck Berry, born in 1926, was a founder in Rock and Roll. He died in 2017 at the age of 90. Berry brought three aspects to rock music: an irresistible swagger, a fixation on the guitar riff as the primary melodic feature, and an insistence on narrative songwriting. Joe Lynch wrote. There is no question that if it were not because of Chuck Berry, today’s rock music might not be the way it is today.
