Did Hetfield Really Cheat Downpicking? 🤔

Gary Holt just dropped a bomb in Guitar World, claiming even James Hetfield cuts corners with downpicking! Holt says tendon issues forced him to 'cheat' more, and that strict downpicking rules in thrash are kinda a myth—everybody does it, even the Metallica legend. Fans are now debating: is Hetfield’s rep as the downpicking king legit, or has he been faking it all along? This could totally change how we see thrash guitar heroes! #Metallica #Slayer #GuitarDebate #Downpicking #JamesHetfield #Entertainment
