His band’s in town for the whole weekend, so guitarist Kirk Hammett stops by the casino on Metallica’s night off where he’ll join Mark Agnesi, Director of Brand Experience for Gibson Guitars, for a discussion and exhibition of sorts surrounding a new coffee table book, “Collection: Kirk Hammett.”

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Metallica Takeover weekend starts that afternoon, however, during an artist talk with Tony Squindo a longtime collaborator with the band whose art has adorned much of Metallica’s work.

Tickets to see Kirk Hammett at the Seminole Hard Rock & Hotel Event Center on Saturday, June 7 are still available and start at $33.
