On the perspective of lead alone kirk is better. His solos tend to be decently complicated and unique along with sounding amazing and displaying alot of emotion. Dave's solos ten to be (not all of them) sloppy and simply fast with no emotion and generally don't sound that great. Though from the rhythm perspective mustaine will almost always win by far. If your looking for the true LEAD god of Megadeth, it would have to be back with Marty Friedman who gives kirks solos a run for their money.
saying dave is better is like saying a black man can't jump ok obviously if you listen to all nightmare long or phantom lord and hit the lights you can see same with whiplash you can see that hes amazing look at dave he was kicked out and always drinks and he sucks live
kirk hammett plays what dave mustaine does i.e. kirk hammett licks what dave shits, obviously dave mustaine is better than kirk hammett, hamster has never written anything in his life, he just does what hetfield tells him to LOL , do any of u fanboys know why he came into metallica, coz he could just cover up for dave , he just knew to play his parts and nothing else
Mustaine has never really done anything to suggest he's a better guitarist than Kirk, even though teenage Megadeth fanyboys will say otherwise. In terms of skill they're about even and because I like Kirk's music more than Mustaine's, I'm picking Kirk.
Secondly, so what if DM writes and sings for Megadeth? I am not impressed with one single thing Dave Mustaine does, except that he is talented at singing and playing. He deserves credit for that, but NONE of his songs are any good outside of a riff or two, and he sings like he's imitating Gargamel from the smurfs.
Kirk is better for a few reasons. The first is that he uses actual creativity in his solos. He uses lots of texture and shapes to his solos. Dave just likes to bang out a scale really fast... Dave's solos sound like really fast finger exercises. They are all in one style...Simple thrash solos. Kirk actually has some breadth to his style. Dave may be a tiny bit "faster", but that isn't what makes someone good.
the onli thign that kirk has to worried is to write solos.... and Dave has written, and composed all the songs in megadeth wich are awesome, and he has great solos.. plus he sings and plays insane riffs... so Dave is better musician
My opinion is that Kirk is better...but that Dave is fucking brilliant...the argument doesn't matter because they both have their own success...Dave took what was a horrible tragedy in his life (being kicked out of the biggest band in metal) and made it into a success story by becoming the frontman in one of the bands that brought metal to the fore-front of music...quit bitching about either one of em

i dont fukn know and dont fukn care if dave has more skill than kirk, i just know that most of kirk's shit sounds cleaner and better than dave's, and that kirk is also just as good live.
haha joke. kirk cant evn play without a wah pedal. and i play guitar. and the megadeth solos are twice as crazy. thats why megadeths songs are so much more musically intense. and plus the solos off kill em all and ride the lightning are all written by dave mustaine. plus kirks a panzy and metallica sucks now while megadeth still shreds.
@Dragonsroar93 listen to all the songs off rust in peace then decidce. plus ive seen both of them live within the last two months and i can say that dave was alot cleaner plus he had to sing. not sayin kirk is completly shit but dave is definitly better

@SkilletsUSMC the only reason that kirk sounds OK is because he abuses the wah pedal
