"Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield showcase two of the most important qualities that make up superb metal songwriter — air-tight rhythm playing and intricate yet memorable guitar leads. [...] From a guitar standpoint, much of Metallica’s influences come from early Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, and in many ways these acts walked so Metallica could run. There’s are a number of reasons as to why Metallica are the biggest metal band in the world, but for the most part it all comes down to their songs and more specifically Hetfield’s and Hammett’s approach to the guitar."

"In the 37 years since Metallica’s explosive 1983 debut, Kill ’Em All, Hammett and Hetfield have established themselves as metal’s quintessential guitar tar alliance. [...] Hetfield played buzz-saw guitar like a disgruntled logger jacked on Jägermeister. And although Hammett’s internecine solos seemed, at times, to have been beamed from Mars, the point was clear: a Metallica that played together nicely would be a lie."

"If there’s one band that’s had both an astronomically massive impact on metal and heavy music, and is also the single biggest band in the heavy metal genre, it’s Metallica. [...] To date, no other metal band has achieved the same popularity and widespread critical acclaim as Metallica. [...] Metallica’s achievements are so far and above any other metal act that it would be seen as controversial to not consider them as a part of heavy metal’s Mount Rushmore. As long as metal music continues to exists, Metallica have and always will be one of the greatest metal bands of all time."
