I am positive that Metallica would have made it as big as they did even if Dave had never been a member in the first place, Dave was not by any stretch the muscle or brains in that band. Would I argue that he's a great guitar player? No. Dave is a great player. But he is not the reason that Metallica hit it big. Cliff Burton has always been the forefront of talent in Metallica, a brilliant bass player, just too bad he passed away when he did.
I don't know how you came to the conclusion that it was Dave that took Metallica to the heights of fame and success they've achieved, and you couldn't be more wrong about Dave 'creating' speed metal. Dave also didn't make 'everyone' get up off of their ass either, you give the man far, far too much credit.
I probably shouldn't even have taken time out of my day to reply to this, as I doubt you'll even be around again. Point is...
You're wrong.
