Sari Sari Etc.: Chefela Hammet

Meet the rocking celebrity mom Chefela Hammet, proud mother of Metallica lead guitarist, Kirk Hammet.

[@sinceagesago5258]

This is where Kirk gets his humble, caring and soft touching voice from, his mother! Amazing musician doesn't make you a great man but a loving family will lead you to many great things in life!

[@samodivala]

his mom is so sweet and adorable thanks for making kirk :)

[@cey1]

She feels special because she's his mom. Dear Kirk, you really have a lovely mom. She resonates through you :)

[@bobs.stevenson9704]

i love how she talks like hes still 8 years old

[@kst9839]

kirk is still an 8 year old deep inside. Thats why we love him.

[@allanhetfield1922]

I think that's the reason why Kirk still sounds like a teenager

[@kewl-asian]

Filipino women are the strongest and most encouraging. Thank you mama Hammett for creating Kirk ❤

[@nickpayne1641]

Super annoying if you're married to one though. They dont let you spend your money and the house always smells like garlic and fish.

[@floaterxjaY]

Nick Payne fo sure you had an indian girlfriend. Don’t get it mistaken😂

[@shiijicleowellgates1105]

Kirk is Filipino, let's support him!

[@zombiea1936]

@@nickpayne1641 wtf is wrong with you I’m sure you smell like earring backings talking about someone on the internet. Tf is wrong

[@thequintessential5503]

I get teary eyed watching this. I feel that Kirk inherited his kindness from his mom. Chef felt seems like a sweet lady who dealt with a lot of issues with her late husband but managed to overcome it

[@eileen1820]

I worked with her when I was a young student. She's taken me to a few concerts with limo, backstage and everything. It was awesome! She's so pretty and goes by the name Sash. ❤❤

[@thequintessential5503]

Eileen D you met her?? Aww

[@eileen1820]

The Conrad We both worked together for about 4+ yrs for GSA, a Federal Govt Agency in San Fran. That's why I was lucky enough to get invited. She still lives in the home where a she raised her family in San Pablo (East Bay). She's really funny and playful. I like her very much.

[@thequintessential5503]

Eileen D they way you talk about her makes me wish I could meet her in person

[@tranthony1768]

Eileen D Did you get to meet Kirk?

[@LadySeraphineCC]

I KNEW KIRK HAD A LITTLE SOMETHING IN HIM! 😅😅😅 As a Filipina Metalhead this just makes my heart happy. I had no idea he was Filipino! I don't encounter fellow Metalheads who are Filipino like me. It makes seeing them live all the more special. ♥️🤘

[@wingedassassins]

Ever heard of death angel? They’re Filipino also from the Bay Area.

[@Dilley_G45]

​@@wingedassassins yes....they were well known in Germany in 1990 😉

[@Dilley_G45]

Half Irish half Filipino. Interesting Combo....whisky and adobo

[@dacechasinghawk3910]

Kirk is lucky to still have his mom.

[@firsttenor76]

I always thought he looked filipino... and now, I know! That's pretty cool. One of my favorite bands of all time!

[@TORNETfly]

SHE'S SO SWEET! I'M ITALIAN AND MY WIFE I'S FILIPINA ALSO :-D

[@Krrrimmi]

THANK U mommy Chefela for not forbidding Kirk to become a METAL legend unlike usual parents do. BIG PRAISES to u ma'am. :))

[@arnielim]

Thanks mommy for havin kirk!

[@OBOTROYNYUSA]

We have a Filipino babysitter and she is just an inherently good human being; we have never seen her as an outsider. After getting to know other filipinos I can safely say that their kindness, humble character, diligence and cleanliness are just staggering. It is no surprise to me that Kirk Hammett is still such a humble and nice person despite the enormous fame.

[@megadooche1295]

She looks like Kirk when she was younger - Lol - the phone's ringing in the background, probably Kirk.

[@TaguroSuper]

If there is a "kind heart" element in Metallica, it probably comes from Kirk. He helped the band to stay together by having deep faith with his band mates specially with James (alcohol problem/addiction). He did most of the cheerleading when the mood is down. Mama Kirk taught this value I suppose.

[@75apocalypse]

Thank you for raising a great man! I saw him live for the first time in 1988. He is a SUPER TALENTED MUSICIAN but more importantly he is a GREAT HUMAN! :)!!!!!!!!!!

[@eileen1820]

Sash is the sweetest and funniest lady. I worked with her for years at GSA. She invited me to many Metallica concerts and she is an awesome generous lady. She's proud of her daughter and other son too, big time ♥️

[@sugarfreaknomore]

wow! he's Filipino! i had a big crush on Kirk when i was a teenager i can't believe it.

[@Bfair123]

I can't blame ya, Kirk is simple but has an appeal especially when he was younger until now with long hair, love it!

[@Leathurkatt]

Half Philippino. His father was mixed Caucasian (English, Irish, etc...)

[@supremo6415]

Now I see where Kirk get his mannerisms... Astig!!!!!

[@juliegogola4647]

Now we can see just why Kirk is such a nice guy, his mama raised him right:)

[@sadiqqdaoud4210]

Great job Mrs. Hammet. Your son is completely awesome to me and many millions of people.

[@reptilicus975]

Chefela has been in music mags and factoids for years. Since I was a kid. I really love Kirk and his mom because of how they are just as people. It's really cool. Love Chefela. As far as Kirks father, to tell you the truth I haven't heard much about him. Actually nothing. I just know his mother has supported him endlessly over the years. It would be interesting to learn more about his dad.

[@kobra.kidding]

kirk once said in an interview that on his sixteenth birthday, his father started beating up his mother. kirk tried to intervene, but he ended up getting beaten up too. kirk's also mentioned how he and james kind of come from the same place, with not great fathers.

[@leetorry]

Ever wondered why Kirk added filipino/mexican/spanish touches in his work? why thanks to his mom of course! :)

[@Sperry411]

I have a huge crush on Kirk Hammett!

[@simphammettpovs1754]

Same. I'm such a simp for him. :)))

[@hansdampf3468]

As a son I guess you can't make a mom a better present than making her proud of you.

[@kvdtube2798]

His mother is just as beautifull as Kirk ^^

[@Phenomenalhardy]

The best Half filipino ever

[@DayInTheLifeOfAl]

Kirks Mom is a lovely lady. I met Kirk once, he was very kind.

[@gabriellebragg7097]

Aww!! This is so cool!! Clefela seems to be a very sweet person just like Kirk ❤

[@tranthony1768]

I was blown away when I heard Kirk's 1/2 Filipino. It's amazing to know about Kirk

[@mianlibz6744]

Ron lang gyud ko😱. I love Metallica. My titos are die hard fans of them. They played the songs of Metallica everyday. And I remembered when I was in day care, It was the first time I heard about their music. And i grew up listening to it. Such a great honor 🙏.. 🙌💋❤❤❤

[@scazermazz]

Rock moms are the coolest. Go look up Virginia Grohl, she is awesome too, I forget the year but the last time Frank Zappa played in Philadelphia, I met his mom. It was Valentine's Day. I was 7 rows back and seen a friend in the 3rd row. Still was about 45 minutes til showtime, so I went up and talked to him. I noticed the Zappa family in the first row. So, I go up and seen one older woman in the row. I asked "Are you Franks mom?" She smiled a little and said yes. So I'm talking to her, how do you like Philly, when did you get to town, usual small talk. She was such a doll. I go back to my seat, the bud I went there with asked who I was talking to. FRANK'S MOM!! He asked if I met the rest of the family, I said WHO CARES? I MET FRANK'S MOM!
