What does Hetfield have to do with this battle anyway? Geez, you're getting me confused as hell man. This is King vs Friedman, ok, poor Marty is getting no attention anymore.
Is part of thrash, but it's NOT what makes thrash great. It may work for Slayer, but for the other REAL thrash bands: Anthrax, MegadetH, MetallicA it's just a novelty, it's good to have some fast songs, but overdoing it just makes the album sound like it's all 3 minute fillers. I also hate bands who play so fast that their songs end at the 3 minute mark, that's BO-RING. There's MUCH MORE to metal than playing fast. PanterA's a great example.

Oh and Friedman's not poor, he's winning the poll thingy.
