Overrated like few. Hetfield has half an octave of range, Hammett has been playing the same solo for 30 years, and Lar$ is among the most boring drummers I know. Then there’s the fact that much of the first two albums is the work of Mustaine (and the first contains blatant plagiarism from Saxon and Diamond Head), which says it all. Megadeth, Anthrax, and Testament, along with underappreciated bands like the aforementioned Voivod and Annihilator, overshadow them completely. I might save their bassists, but it’s a pity they are always inaudible.
