Is James Hetfield the greatest rhythm guitar player in metal? Or even all time?

Its gospel that he is like a metronome. Lars only has his guitar and vocals he plays to. Obviously he is the glue of Metallica. King of the downstroke for sure. Whos better? I think his solos are extremely underrated

I woulda voted Scott Ian.
And Alex Skolnick for lead.

For what he has done, in the band he did it in and over the time he did it..yeah.
A lot of people think Dime was a great lead player, but I think he was a better rhythm.

Dime and Vinnie are sorely missed!

Tom Petty has a nice catalog IMO.

Malcolm Young, RIP. There are isolated AC/DC tracks of just Malcolms guitar on YouTube, Listening to them makes it apparent that his playing was way more than half of the AC/DC sound

I think he's clearly the better soloist of the two in the band.

I think even as much of a bitter shitstain of a human being as he is he would admit Hetfield is the best rhythm guitar player in metal.

He has my vote.....
Posted on 9/23/21 at 7:15 am to Lucky_Stryke
Metal...possibly. All time... no.

Dave Murray and Adrian Smith switching back and forth from lead to rhythm is pretty amazing. They are so talented…

Metal-I guess, but who cares?
All time-
Keith Richards
John Lennon
Don Everly
Malcolm Young
Brad Whitford

Tom petty played metal? I swear reading comprehension is non existent to some of you

All time? No, James wouldn’t know where to begin with a chicken picking rhythm

quote:Nah, he ain't so bad. And he might. But he has many utterly sick rhythm lines. I would offer Addicted to Chaos, and Mastermind as fine examples.

Lmao. I wasn’t even drinking last night and missed that. My bad baw.

Joe Duplainter -Gojira ...Hetfield would be a student in his class
Dave Mustaine is also better than Hetfield by a mile
Lead is --- Ulrich Roth -Scorpions
