Lars may have been a good drummer at one point, but that point was over two decades ago; and I'm not saying Hammett is a bad guitarist, he just isn't the god like being many people think he is. There are a LOT better guitarists in the world that people haven't heard of. Jari Maenpaa is much better, but I doubt anyone has heard of him.

i'm not saying they are good, i'm saying they were good and to attribute their success solely to Hetfield is wrong. they pretty much invented thrash metal in the early 80's, and their first 4 albums are among the best metal albums of all time. ya they sold out and commercialized their sound, but that doesn't mean you can write off how influential they were and say that they rode the coattails of one guy
