It's undoubtly a genious imho, but it's just a matter of tase, some like other genres more and blabla (you know how he story goes). It's the way you look at him. Sure you can look at him as a selfish, greedy person, but that's just too easy and besides would that make him a worse guitar player ? I don't think so.
Who ever said that Metallica was just some garage boy band who got famous and ****y is just being ignorant. You can't deny Metallica (and that includes K.H.s fabulous guitarplaying aswell) has unchained some music revolutions in time. Yes, you can say they weren't and that 'this particulary band' was revolutionary, but again just a matter of taste. He might be a commercialiser of the music he makes nowadays (with nothing else matters in mind...) but still he has writen some music that's really awesome (and this goes for whole Metallica).
How can he not be a good guitar player when he had lessons from Joe Satriani ?
