As for the rest of what you wrote, I realise that you are one of those fans who simply won't accept anything wrong with the band. Better singer, drummer, bla bla bla is not a fact and it is like you putting your fingers in your ears and shouting la, la, la.
I used to be like this about Bon Jovi, not accepting any criticism or not understanding that other bands have great achievements too. I was about 14.

In the end, it's becoming a Jovi vs Metallica debate lol.
It may be to do with age or maybe music taste, but let's be as objective as possible (subjectively lol).
Metallica are legends in their type of music, Bon Jovi are a commercial band who have a great frontman, who knows exactly how to play the game: when it was cool to be hard rock, they were hard rock; when ballads were in, there were Bon Jovi; country, there they were; pop-rock junk (in Jon's words), Jovi went for it. They also had one of the best guitarists in the world.
Player vs player, you can't compare. It's different music. However, Lars Ulrich is a legend (due to his style and novelty, technically he is nothing special); Hetfield is a rhythm guitar legend and their bass players are first class. Kirk has created some amazing solos (specially AJFA).Except for Richie, Jovi's players are amazing session musicians.
I don't think THINFS is Jovi's worst album because it isn't 'hard' or that Metallica's is looking good because it's 'hard'. Saint Anger was extremely hard and extremely shit
. BB had feel, lyrics and GUITAR, Lost Highway is very well structured, WAN had some brilliant acoustic songs and IWY. THINFS has none of that. Hardwired (so far) has well structured songs and feel.
Hate to say it, but Bon Jovi has become Jon & his band. Metallica are and have always been a band.
