My top 10.
On this occasion I decided to do it from the vocalists that I consider to be the best.
It is not something official, because it is impossible, it is simply personal taste.

The announcement was answered by James Hetfield, who would eventually join the band with Lars himself, his friend Ron McGovney (bass) and Dave Mustaine (lead guitar).
