re: Mark Tremonti should be Metallica's new front man

This thread is a poor troll but people do realize that Metallica is Metallica because of their diversity right? Nothing is more irritating than listening to the "everything after the first 4 suck because it's not thrash!!!" crowd. Lars has even said they quickly realized that a bunch of nerds wanted them to write Master of Puppets over and over again for 30 years and they didn't want to be boxed in. Metallica consists of James Hetfield plus guests, simple as that. All of those songwriting credits for Lars are for arrangements, and while Kirk has written some legendary solos he's rarely contributed to the real songwriting. He came up with the Sandman riff but even that had to be molded. Trujillo will always be the sweepstakes dude to me and he still doesn't fit. Hetfield is underappreciated because he isn't a flaming a-hole that has overdosed 12 times and kept his name in the news. He is one of the most charismatic frontmen ever in rock and really outside of Guitar World type circles he doesn't get the credit he deserves.
