I'd say that Hetfield is totally a virtuoso. He may not be the fastest lead guitar player, but there are so many people trying to be able to play like him.. Same goes for Jon Schaffer for example. I mean, playing a song isn't the same as sounding really tight at it.
When it comes to lead guitarist virtuoso's, I have to admit that the extremely fast playing starts to bore me after a while (Yes, I'm looking at you, Yngwie, though I do like your music).
Dream Theater writes some intense stuff, though for me, the really prog-ish riffs they do sometimes (you guys know what kind of sound I mean) hold less emotional value.
