Personally I think Metallica were one of the very best thrash bands and I wouldn't even call myself much of a Metallica fan either.
I never cared for thrash period to be honest, but Metallica reached a broader audience than any of the others. There are some modern elements of thrash out there fusing with elements of progressive and classical rock that I do currently like. As soon as some of these new metal bands realize they should direct their music more mainstream, then all for the better in my opinion.
