The truth is, he is. But like sehaime said his has the characteristic thats perfect for the aggressive sound of megadeth. Many metal frontmen aren't great singers too. Except of course the vocal god, Sebastian Bach.

He sounds whiny, tiny, and with recent developments and releases, has totally lost his aggression which was his only redeeming feature back in the day.
And have you heard him live yet? Flat with totally no agression.
Have you ever heard him sing without the music backup? I have and its not really pleasing to the ears. Yeah I know he's your idol, he's mine too but in term of singing you have got to admit he can't really carry a tune well. Heck even King Diamond isn't a good singer imo but his style is so unique it stands out and he's one of my fav metal vocalist. BTW I'm also a fan of mustaine's snarling voice.

lyrically, megadeth has written better songs in their newer albums, than tallica.
i prefer metallica's older songs coz their lyrics are pretty awesome, esp in mop and justice albums. but now, metallica to me has gone down lyrically.."love is a four letter word..!!!?" haha...still laughing at it while im typing it down.
i still vote for metallica coz they're my favorite band in terms of versatility. metal, hard rock, hell..even country(lynrd skynrd's tuesdays gone cover), metallica have done it. why? coz they can.

mmm hetfield used to be very good with his vocals although he himself doesn't like to sing. 83 - very young, shrieking and all. 84-88 - cool abang² lobang vox. 89-93 - evil growly aggressive. 94-99 - Woohwuuuwooohhhh... i don't understand what he is singing. 2000-2008 - Saint shit vox... can't go back!

Whiny and tiny are not subjective. There is a certain assumption of standards to it. You would know when something is tiny, you don't call a whale tiny. Whiny, also got definition, if the description fits the definition, then it's a fact, not subjective. Same goes for aggression.

alright we're going to english lessons here....
is "beautiful" a description? i would think so
"good" and "bad" are descriptions too anyway...
a whale is not tiny....but is his singing tiny? that is a whole different story
how do u define whiny?
using the whale is bringing this whole thing out of context
basically there's someone who thinks he sounds whiny and tiny while i don't think so....
therefore --> subjective

well it would be true if you're comparing a whale to the titanic, the moon and the sun...the whale WOULD then be tiny. size is relative to it's comparisons.
