If we're talking about singing on their most recent works, then I would say that Mustaine does indeed beat Hetfield.

I mean, compare the System has Failed vocals - for all their unspectacular nasalness - to St Anger (fran-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-toc) = GODAWFUL.

And as for Mustaine being a pre-pubescent Macaulay Culkin, yeah fair play, but Hetfield hardly sounds the mature one whining "I'm madly in anger with you".

I think the conclusion to make is simply this - not a great singer, fitted well with their early material. End of.

Well said, but then again you're a Maiden fan so you must be doing something right.

I was listening to Seventh Son this morning too

"Restless sleeeeeeeeep, the mind's in turmoil,
One nightmare ends, another's fertile,
What a dream, when will it end,
And will I transceeeeeeeeeeeeeeend"

Great, great album
