Who would you say has the best vocal chords in thrash?
For me, it's neck and neck between Tom Araya and Chuck Billy.

Hetfield's voice is one of the best in my book, although Metallica weren't really thrash....

Metallica weren't really thrash? If kill em' all and Fight Fire With Fire wasn't thrash I don't know what metal is

Yeah. But Kill 'em all was one album. That's one album out of...8? I don't think you can call them a thrash band on that evidence. Master of Puppets wasn't really thrash, but that is supposedly their "best" album. When bands change genres such as Metallica have done, I think we should categorise them as they were when they were most respected, or base it on the amount of albums they've made for each genre. Or perhaps we shouldn't categorise them at all....but that discussion is for a different thread.
Perhaps I'm completely missing the point here, but I actually think Hetfield's voice didn't become superb until after Kill 'em All, therefore, he isn't necessarily my favourite "thrash singer"
