You'd post the images of their cds...but too many people would LAUGH at what a joke comparing them to METALLICA is even more seeing their subpar output.....

And really...you LARVE wasting time...and bandwidth

DEAR LORD! BUSH IS ON THE COVER! MUSTAINE IS A ZIONFASCIST!

Comparing Megadeth and Metallica is like comparing Led and The Who. Both are very different bands, One can truly not decide which one is better. I love Metallica '83-'91, They were the greatest Metal Band on the Planet during that time. Megadeth is good as well, Mustaine is very intelligent in his lryics, Mainly focusing on Social Issues, Very Much like The who in that respect. Metallica writes different, writing about War and the Death Penalty, Very good song writing on that side as well. Very good Musicianship in both bands, Both are defintly not as good, And they're will never be another band like them.

Hmmmm...let's see......

WHIPLASH? Nope...no Mustaine

SEEK & DESTROY......No...No DAVE here....

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE?...No...DAVE's not here.....

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS?.....No DAVE......

FADE TO BLACK?.....DAVE? No....DAVE's didn't write this one either.....

TRAPPED UNDER ICE? no DAVE

ESCAPE?........you guessed it....no DAVE...

CREEPING DEATH?....sorry...DAVE had NO HAND in writing this CLASSIC

BATTERY
MASTER OF PUPPETS
THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE
WELCOME HOME SANITARIUM
DISPOSABLE HEROS
LEPER MESSIAH
ORION
DAMAGE INC.........................No......DAVE wrote NOTHING that ended up on their GRATEST recording..................."



Seems a "bit" more than "one really good album" worth of material....
But...you probably didn't listen to METALLICA back in the day, did ya?!?

Don't tell me..."the vocals weren't melodic enough"....

not a van hagar fan by chance?!?

Hmmm...
I believe "The Four Horsemen" and "Phantom Lord," two of Metallica's best songs EVER were on Kill 'Em All. And "Ride the Lightning" and "Call of the Ktulu", two more of their best songs were on the next one. I did not say album's worth of material. Listen to them back in the day? Hell yes I did and still do listen to the first three albums. Mmmkay???

Van Hagar fan? Me???? You must be fucking crazy!!!

[Matt White]

Phantom Lord sucks.....Call of the Ktulu is an instumental............


CREEPING DEATH is better than ANYTHING Mustaine ever wrote........................

[binnie]

Wow it's 1987 again!

How do you decide if ome band is better than the other?

Surely it's subjective, right?

I mean if we go on success, Metallica win hands down:

95 million records to Megadeth's 20ish million


Far bigger tours etc etc...

And thats not the sort of succes that's come from huge media campaigns and airplay like some shitty boyband now is it? It came from relentless touring up to about 1995 and building up a huge fanbase.

But still, selling more records and concert tickets doesn't make them "better" does it? Just means more people dig em.

Metallica have probably been more influencial, but again how would you test it?

To me the debate of who is "better" is purely artificial and untestable.

I'll always prefer Metallica, I'll always think they were more important, but I can't prove that they are "better", only state my opinion.

To me, the fact that this 20 years old debate still arouses such pasion is a testament to how truly great both bands are.

Are YOU paying attention?
No shit, 'Ktulu' is an instrumental. I don't recall vox or no vox being an issue. Point is, it's a really good tune CO-WRITTEN by Mustaine!

HELLO...McFLY?!?

Again I say....FADE TO BLACK is better than ANY Mustaine song.......and more influential.......

He rode on METALLICA's coattails....

AND...Cliff thought he was an ASSHOLE.......

[Unchainme]

I still would've love to see the line up of Mustaine-Hetfield-Burton-Ulrich, survive, Metallica Would've Been THE GREATEST METAL BAND EVER, No question, they would've owned Every fucking band on the planet with that line up. When You combine two forces like that, It would be like CVH in a sense.

But..Fucking egos have to ruin everything.

[Matt White]

No...Mustaine being a drunken ASSHOLE got him booted from the band...he was in for a total of a year........

CLIFF was the brains of that outfit...which is why METALLICA died with him............

YOU Say Fade is better...I say what they say about opinions rings very true here.

How did Mustaine ride on Metallica's coattails? I never heard one Megadeth song that sounded like them except the stuff he helped write.

And for that matter, Cliff probably thought Lars was a dick, too! If he were here now, he'd probably hate every damn one of them.

Well, we finally agree on one thing.

Good lord, you people are suddenly 16 and 17 again! I never knew it took something as trivial as which band's better to get you guys to experience that second childhood
