It should be absolutely no surprise to anybody that he can shred like that. He would anytime have the potential to play as anyone's lead guitarist he is an amazing guitar player.

I actually prefers the way James writes a solo. The actual solos and his style.
Nothing Else Matters and the first solo in MOP. Bluesy stuff. However, it's obvious that he doesn't do a lot of soling, just listen to any demo out there. On the other hand, Kirk improvising a solo is really painful to listen to.
Don't get upset, this is from someone who has worshipped this band since 1987. I fucking love them solos or not.
James hetfield is a really tight rythm guitar guy.. I can´t compare his style to any other rythm guitar player i´ve heard... his solo made me laugh x)
haha. they gotta have fun sometime. it's not james' job to play solos, so he doesn't have to be the best at it. he does what he does best, keep the rhythm. i'm sure if he HAD to write some over the top solos like kirk he could, but he doesn't. go back to the clips of kirk and the year and a half in the life of metallica. bob rock bashed the shit out of kirk. let him try that with james. i don't think so, buddy. pow! right in the kisser! funny vid.

Why the hell is kirk hammett even in metallica. His leads are crap even compared to this stuff by hetfield and he's a rhythm player and an awesome one at that. Hetfield must have the best right hand in the world. Nobody touches him.
JUST listen to ecstasy of gold, james is playing for 30 years, has an amazing sense of rhythm, great knowledge of theory, kirk is all pentatonic and wah wah pedal...dont mean to be harsh but buddy, they are great musicians, they can actually write shit, dont bring up st anger because that was bob rock's fault
Thats because he doesnt practice solo's and scales etc. I bet if James played as Kirk since hes early 20's he would be just as good :D AND.. he was just improvising and fucking around here :P
Hetfield is the shit, and I think is and excellent rythm guitar player, but he can be a lead guitarrist cuz he does not alternate his picking so he needs to force it a lot.. i still think he rulez and i wanna be just like him
Ok, if any of you tweeps have heard Hetfields solo in Nothing Else Matters at the end, you'll know that he's a kick ass lead player. He's just fooling around here, settle down kids. And by the way, Hetfield will always kick Mustaine's ass.
Shouldn't really bring it back to Mustaine, but as good a rythym player as James is, his lead work will never match Dave's, even if he was pissing around there!
Thats shouldnt be a surprise... after 50+ years of playing guitar, he would be a complete looser [ok, almost] if he couldnt solo... but i've seen him soloing in some country jams... James Hetfield is the definition of "bad ass" on the dictionary.
