Megadeth vs Metallica

**Matt White** · 07-19-2006, 07:34 PM

Bub....I've heard "Deth since the day they came out......

They've ALWAYS been 2nd fiddle to METALLICA...ALWAYS.....

METALLICA...from "KILL 'EM ALL to ..AND JUSTIICE" wrote the book on modern metal.....

They dropped MAIDEN & PRIEST in their tracks...and scoffed at the Hair bands......

"'Deth" isn't a pimple on their asses........

And anybody that says different either ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER....or is just lying to themselves.....

Now...if somebody says..."I prefer Megadeth to METALLICA...I can respect that.....

But...hating on the METALIKATS becuz they've sucked for 16+ years?!?
It doesn't erase the BRILLIANCE of their CLIFF BURTON YEARS.....

"Cliff Burton"?!?

IF I HAVE TO TELL ONE FUCKING PERSON IN THIS THREAD WHO CLIFF BURTON WAS....I'LL GO FUCKING NUCLEAR.........

I believe a very smart man said that a long time ago before this thread turned sour.

You're from Sanitarium, I'm the protegé of five magics. At least we can agree that both these bands are awesome.

**Matt White** · 07-19-2006, 08:01 PM

MEGADETH rocked in the day.....

They didn't spearhead the THRASH movement...they followed in METALLICA's wake...as did SLAYER, EXODUS & ANTHRAX......

METALLICA were MILES ahead of the competition...up until CLIFF died........

They had:

THe BEST Singer

Wrote the BEST lyrics

Wrote the Best Riffs

And KICKED THE MOST ASS LIVE..........

and that my friend...is the facts...nothing more...nothing less

**sadaist** · 07-19-2006, 10:12 PM

How could Megadeth follow Metallica, or Metallica set the trend, when Mustaine was an originator of Metallica? He started the movement as much as Hetfield, Burton & Ulrich. Master of Puppets is one of my all-time favorite albums. Excellent from start to finish, every note. But Megadeth to me has been more consistent in putting out kick ass albums throughout their career, rather than 1 great album.

I never did hear why Ellefson didn't come back. Anyone know the story on this?

From someone else who is old enough to remember, I'd have to agree with that.

Only thing I'd add is that Megadeth had better musicians, for sure.

But both bands are awesome.

Ok, this got hushed up, so most off what I heard was rumour and specualtion, but here goes.

Mustaine owned 80% of the Megadeth name and Ellefson 20%, an agreement that went back years and years.

Some sort of argument occured over money - Ellefson claimed that he had been ripped off on later records, and once he left the band still wanted 20% of anything with the name on (fair enough it seems to me, if he owned half the name and was there to build the band up).

Ellefson launched a massive suit for millions of dollars - I have no idea what the verdict was, or if tis even finished yet.

Meanwhile Mustaine slammed him, said that Ellefson couldn't keep time, wasn't that integral to the band and even hinted that another bassist may have recorded some of the tracks on the records.

I don't seem them kissing and making up....

ahh but deth has better solos

**Matt White** · 07-20-2006, 08:52 AM

'Deth had a few better solos....and NO better riffs.....

And Mustaine was in METALLICA for a year...and NEVER recorded a note with 'em.........talk about living in the past...................

METALLICA kicked the door open....and Megadeth FOLLOWED..........

It's revisionist history to say otherwise....................

that will change tomorrow. Matt, a FEW better solos? On that piece of shit they just released, solos were nonexistant.

**Matt White** · 07-21-2006, 09:01 PM

Dude...if we're gonna talk recent work....

Are you one of the 12 people that have bought a Megadeth record since Symphony?!?

They've BLOWN goats for ages.......

And they tried to BE METALLICA......

Kill Em' All & Ride The Lightning have Mustaine all over them. Weird that those are arguably Metallica's best 2 albums.

But I must re-state that I love both bands for different moods. Metallica is much fatter (Leper Messiah) while Megadeth is more intricate guitar work (Black Friday).

It's like listening to kids today argue that RATT was better than CLASSIC VAN HALEN....................

WAKE THE FUCK UP

A fucking MEN. Some of you guys are fuckin' idiots...Mustaine had credits on the 2 FIRST albums. He had NOTHING to do with it thereafter.

He only had 4 credits on Kill 'Em All out of 10 FUCKING tracks.

And on Ride The Lightning? 2 out of 8. And one of those is an instrumental piece mostly written by Cliff.

Too many of you are only looking at their post And Justice For All work, which nobody likes. Most of Megadeth's catalog isn't anything that special up against the likes of KEA and MOP.

**MERRYKISSMASS2U** · 07-23-2006, 08:35 PM

You're so right. Rust in Peace, Peace Sells, etc are shit albums and shouldn't even be considered in this discussion.

That about sums it up... and more complex is, most of the times, better.

Ok, Megadeth never had the fan base Metallica did, didn't spearhead the thrash movement, were always "second" to Metallica... yes, these are facts, I wasn't there but I know it. But no matter how much Metallica achieved, to me Megadeth will always be better. Dave knew what he was doing, even whaen he was completely fucked out of his brains. Metallica lost it after Cliff died. ...And Justice for all marked the beginning of the end, even as album sales were up.

Now for a bit of cuntroversy:

Metallica was Mustaine & Burton, bitches!

Cheers! :bottle:

A-fuckin'-men! Dave Mustaine had a hand in writing all Metallica's best songs.

All the best megadeth tunes don't have Hetfield.

**MERRYKISSMASS2U** · 07-25-2006, 09:37 AM

St. Anger - Dave had nothing to do with that piece of shit and it shows.

**mako_kimura** · 07-25-2006, 09:49 AM

I pretty much don't like most thrash metal, but I'll have to go with Megadeth. Not for the songwriting, but for my opinions. Metallica is so overrated, being percieved as the "best band ever" by people in my age group. Also, Metallica recieves too much credit for being the best thrash ever. Remember, Metallica went down hill after 90 for most of you. For me, however, I've never liked them

**MERRYKISSMASS2U** · 07-25-2006, 12:18 PM

I agree. Metallica is not the best band ever. It's cool for people to like them because all the numetal fans who like them make their friends think they're hardasses or something. 90% of those poseurs probably have not even heard of Dave Mustaine. Fuck you Matt White.... even on Megadeth's VH1BTM Ulrich talks of how flawless Rust in Peace was. Imagine how cool that would be though if one day Mustaine rejoined the band?!?!?!??! AWESOME! Mustaine singing Metallica? Hetfield roaring Hangar 18?!? That would be thrash heaven.

Mako_kimura, I respect your opinions greatly. Thrash is probably my favorite genre of metal. I'm not even saying that Megallica are the top two thrash acts. There are tons of kick ass thrashers (Annihilator, Testament, Over Kill, Slayer) and hundreds of insanely good albums (Rust in Peace, Ride the Lightning, Seasons in the Abyss, Oops I did it again, etc.....).

What I am trying to say in this thread is that Metallica is talented, and so is megadeth. However, overall, I think that Megadeth butchers Metallica. They are more overrated than fucking Nirvana.

I personally feel that Rust in Peace destroys any Metallica offering, and I think that Battery can't touch Hangar 18. If you don't feel that way, I'd love for you to express your opinions in an intelligent way and not fucking contradict yourself by saying that you respect others, yet you don't give Megadeth fans' opinions the light of day.

P.S. I'm still waiting for Matt to create some fucking aliases to vote for Metallica in this poll. I guess people would rather be a fucking protege of five magics than fight against napster.

**Matt White** · 07-25-2006, 12:42 PM

Kiss my ass junior...............

megadeth is a footnote....METALLICA changed metal..........

Deal with it

Let's go through the fucking list once and for all.

<B><I><H1><MARQUEE>Everything</B></H1></MARQUEE></I>

after And Justice seriously sucked. The only Megadeth album I didn't like was Risk.

I love Metallica, I prefer Megadeth. They are consistent quality.

Quality over quantity.
