Kirk Hammett on his friendship with Jason Momoa [Video]

Last week, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett announced his new coffee table book The Collection: Kirk Hammett. As part of the book launch, a video was released of Jason Momoa narrating the book. In a new interview with Metal Hammer, Hammett discussed his friendship with the actor.

“Jason came over to my house recently at eight o’clock in the morning, so I cooked him breakfast,” Kirk says. “We just sat down and geeked out about guitars all day. He’s a big collector and really knows his shit. He isn’t some come lately saying, ‘Oh, I think I’ll buy me a couple of guitars.’ He knows them in and out – the makes, the models, which brands he loves and what’s rare and what isn’t. He’s actually got this great Korina Explorer.”

If you’re wondering what a Hollywood actor and heavy metal icon have in common, in turns out there’s a quite a lot that bonds the pair.
