How can anyone not like songs like Run To The Hills?
Seriously.

I have heard that song a number of times (and many others of theirs) and I just cannot like them. To me they are like a parody of a metal band. Dude's vocals are so over the top.
Metallica is overrated.
Cliff was a fine bass player but I've listened intently and he was no Jaco. He wasn't a David Ellefson, even.
Kirk is a middling lead player. I personally have known better guitarists.
Both over all.Goes to show songwriting > technical musicianship.
I'm of the Megadeth variety. Speed metal. Contrasting solo styles : brute force /melodic fretboard gymnastics. Four or five distinct parts per song, with middle eight segments, and energetic chording.Deathcore and Metalcore are the best heavy metal genres. Core bands make Old school traditional metalhead's blood boil. I'm 37 years old, a musician, and love a lot of the old school shit too but a lot of those core bands rip.
100%.Both over all.
I've heard technically brilliant playing without heart and playing that could have worked but it was too sloppy and unlearned.

If you have ideas in your head but no skill to showcase them, then they remain stuck in your head, with no one to hear but yourself.
100% agree with you there.Obviously.....great songwriting/average playing trumps average songwriting/great playing, though.
I only listen to his instrumentals with one exception : Now Your Ships Are Burned.Yngwie Johan Malmsteen comes to mind. Great musician, average song writer.
*embarrassed*100%.
Limited players who can write are boring but in a different way than technical players who can't write.
The only thing is, atleast a writer can get a player to play for them.
That's basically what Megadeth do, Dave can't play very good leads, but he gets some of the best lead players alive to solo and do leads for him. Works well.
