Chinese Democracy will destroy any album by Metallica. Im not sayin that as a fanboy either but Hetfield cant hold Axl's balls.
Nobody in Metallica can hold a candle to their GN'R equivalent.
Lets dont get too carried away, they do have a guy named Lars Ulrich who is undeniably one of the greatest drummers ever to pick up sticks.
I am biased because I am a huge fan, but even if I wasn't, there's no denying Lars talent on the kit. He may have lost some of his speed over the years, but he still has a great groove and is still pretty damn good playing live.
Check out his playing on their Live Shit box set from their Seattle 1989 gig, as there's some really great drumming there.
Here's some footage:
