Megadeth vs Metallica

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

I say megadeth. better riffs, better vocals... insane solos. Also, TSHF kills St Anger.


Rust in Peace vs MoP.... lol no contest there.



I like them both.... but i could destroy all my metallica cds and not even care.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

this is war! make your vote with choice.

Consider:

Mustaine vs Hetfield
A Tout Le Monde vs Fade to Black etc....

[Last_Child]

Mustaine > Hetfield

A Tout Le Monde > Fade To Black

Megadeth > Metallica


hmm... Easy. Megadeth.

well said.

I love both of these bands, and have done for about 15 years.

Megadeth easily wins musicianship - no doubt they have always technically been better than Metallica.

However, my vote goes to Metallica.

Firstly, whilst Megadeth are a solid live band, Metallica are in a different league.

Secondly, Metallica have done more to promote heavy metal worldwide.

It's difficult regarding quality of material, because both have written such classics. But for me MOP and Ride the Lightning will always stand up against anybody elses metal albums.

Mustaine and Hetfield are both the best rhythm players metal has ever produced, there are enough riffs there to keep everyones necks sore!

But for me the clincher is this - if Ulrich and Hetfield asked Mustaine to join Metallica tommorrow, he would do it without thinking: he knows who the beeter band is.

Some kind of Monster showed that he's spent 20 years been bitter about not being part of it.

Now I ain't criticsing Megadeth - I love that band, and they have helped get me through some tough time and given me some great memories. Can't wait for the new record.

But for me it will always be Birth School Metallica Death.

Megadeth. Listen to Good Mourning Black Friday & My Last Words, then find anything from Metallica that compares. Their best songs are from Ride The Lightning, and that's just because Mustaine wrote the most memorable riffs in those songs. Hetfield is a better lyricist, but you have to have the music to make it work.

The main reason he wouldn't do this is he couldn't fire them after 1 or 2 albums....like every other drummer or guitarist he's had.

Dude, watch the scene in Some Kind Of Monster.

He'd join in a heartbeat.

I just don't see it. Now if Ellefson and Mustaine joined Hetfield & Ulrich, we might have something. I'd love to hear a full length studio album with those 4. But to be honest, I've never liked Ulrich, Newsted, and only somewhat like Kirk. And Megadeth was always the 2 Dave's. (until now).

But Megadeth has always been my 2nd favorite band. Favorite overall in heavy metal.

I agree with Peace Sells at #1. Black Friday & My Last Words are my 2 favorite songs from them. I might put So Far, So Good, So What at 2nd. I really like that album.

When comparing to Metallica, I always told my buddies to use best album vs best album. Master of Puppets vs Peace Sells. Rather than 3rd album vs 3rd album etc...

[/ ScQUOTE] YEAH. The league of fuckin' useless shit.

Garth Brooks did loads to promote cuntry to an even bigger audience worldwide. I don't like Garth Brooks.
Fat Boy Slim did the same for 'Dance music' He's a sack of crap, AND he was in the house martins. 'shudder'

Shell have promoted the use of petroleum,
Hagar the use of shit hair, tequila, fatness
Eddie the eagle, the non-use of the human brain...

Megadeth 'coz the parties are better, the fans are better but most importantly when talking about bands..

THE MUSIC IS BETTER





just sayin'
