His former jobs before becoming an awesome guitar player were: burger maker at Burger King and just a dude that worked at a warehouse. He had a band before Metallica called "Exodus" which he came up with the name for. Kirk's older brother was a big hippie and introduced kirk to the popular music of the time. When his brother went away for school, Kirk would pick up his brother's guitar and just fool around with it. By th time Kirk was 20 he started guitar lessons, and about two weeks later he formed Exodus. He jammed with his band and played in clubs, the most famous of which, is the old "Whisky A-Go-Go". At this very same club is where Metallica first noticed Kirk. Metallica kicked Dave out of the band and hired Kirk to take his place. They made "Kill em All" and the rest is history....
