Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett is not a fan of social media outlets. In a recent interview with VICE magazine, Hammett says he stays away from them:
"Well, personally, I don't give a f**k about social media. I'm not on Facebook, I'm not on Twitter, I'm not on Instagram, I'm not on all these other f****n' things that I don't even know about, and I don't give a f**k. I don't care. I. Don't. F*****g. Care."
However, he said that the platforms may be useful for others:
"But there are people in our organization who recognize the power of social media and the power of getting the word out there. Social media can be extremely effective for whatever thing you're doing or whatever cause so I think it's important, but personally, I don't give a f**k."
