For Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, there is one electric guitar that stands above the rest in his arsenal for the metal band’s ongoing M72 world tour.

There are also Dashiell Hammett’s “The Maltese Falcon,” originally published as a serial in Black Hat magazine, and John Steinbeck’s first novel, “Cup of Gold.”

The Costa Mesa City Council is meeting Tuesday, presumably to give final approval to the Raiders for use of the Jack Hammett Sports Complex this summer.

“Us guitar players in the West, we all have the same base vocabulary, the same handful of stereotypical licks,” Kirk Hammett of Metallica said in an interview.

Hammett has been jailed for a minimum of 24 years.
