I have to disagree with Dickenson being better than Hetfield vocally. If you listen to Metallica's entire catalog of songs from their first album, Kill 'Em All all the way through their newer stuff like Load, Reload, S&M, etc.... you'll notice Hetfield displays a wide range singing ability (for heavy metal music anyway).
Listen to how effectively Hetfield creates the proper mood for each of these very different songs:
Hit the Lights (Kill 'Em All)
Outlaw Torn (Load)
Master of Puppets (S&M live version)
No Leaf Clover (S&M...I think this James at his best)
Turn the Page (Garage Inc.)
Nothing Else Matters (TBA)
However I do like Dickenson. I even liked Bailey when he was with Iron Maiden. Maiden is a great band and they will go down as one of the greatest rock bands of all time. But Metallica (whether you like them or not) has had more influence on the metal genre than any other band in the past two decades. Their stuff will live forever.
