Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are not bad either. "Six-Barrel Shotgun" is a great song and their latest album is interesting too.

Yeah, no shit.
Kirk Hammett, along with Tom Morello and Kerry King, are THE most overrated lead guitarists on the face of the earth, and in the entire universe.

are losers..Ok i may be harsh but hear me out..
Kirk Hammett never tried or wanted to be a guitar virtuso. If he wants he will be shredding, doing one million sweep picking arppegios and releasing 100 instructional videos..
Kirk is all about wrtting solos to enhance the song..Listen to Disposable heroes, creeping death, Fade to black, unforgiven, e.t.c..
Imagine if there was a yngwie malsteen type solo in the middle of disposable heroes...It will really destroy the impact of the story telling of the song and the atmosphere..The solo in disposable is actually simple but it makes the song much bigger than it is...
I like malsteen, satriani, Vai and Friedmans solo works but i think metallica is more about the monster riffs, and story telling and concepts than individual expertise on their instruments..
If you wanna hear an out of the world guitarist listen the onse i mention above, if you wanna hear an amazing drummer find it in bands like Meshuggah, Rush, Dream theater, Slayer and so forth..

Kudos to Jerry, Sean and Rob. Rob should ditch Metallica while he's ahead, he was really great in Jerry Cantrell's solo albums.
