@ Boo Boo:
Right, they may not be the preemminent bands out there when it comes to chops, but compared to the bands listed (nu-metal et. all) its like playing a toddler in Family Fued. Godsmak has a decent drummer now and thats the only thing they compete in.
Hammett may not be as good of a Metal guitarist as other bands have, but he's a better guitar player in general. I always think of the scene from Metalocalypse scene where they give the blonde sweedish guy an acoustic guitar and try to teach him blues. They bend a note and ask him to repeat it and all he does is play hammer-ons in a 6/32 time signature.
And because things get off track here, I'm not saying S/T gave us the "universe of ****" I'm saying thats what I'm hearing from people.
