He's allright on the stuff that they write for him, but he was horrible on the old stuff. This was the Nation tour mind, which Against and Nation are very mediocre albums. It's the same case as with Blaze Bayley, he was great on the Iron Maiden material written for him, but he damn near got laughed off the stage when he tried to do the Dickinson/Di'Anno songs.
And Hetfield would be a lot better off if he didn't try to traditionally sing, which he can't do.
Only because people are so used to the Max/original versions.
The rest of you, I mock: 'back to da back to da back to da front-LINES ooaaaaaaah ooaaaaaaaaaaaah'. Sure, Max is better.
As for Hetfield, I'll agree that he's hardly a good singer, but his voice always seemed to fit for me. Thrash is weird that way -> Mustaine!
