  • For all you raging fanboys

    /watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&­v=XmVN1BueqhE

  • hard to tell, its exactly the same song with different tempo and lyrics

  • I like them both, but I prefer Megadeth's version.I like its dirty and raw sound. There's something more aggressive in Megadeth's Mechanix.

  • four horsemen.....

    Reason:

    more melodic compared to the mechanix.

    a bit softer and more polished on the ear

    better lyrics(i am sorry megadeth fans,but even you gotta give this one to metallica)

  • There's different things I like that are unique between them both, but I find it hard to judge which one's the best. :|

  • mechanix is better, I like the raw sound that it has

  • intoaccount the end of the 2 issues are so Dave Mustaine are both wonderful but my answer to be better but I repeat mechanix the 2 songs are from Dave Mustaine! :)

  • I prefer the sleezy Raw Megadeth Version ....

  • Four horsemen is better but I like mechanix

  • Personally I like the speed and agression of Mechanix more, but I like the lyrics in the Horsemen more so.... I like both equally.

  • i love the metallica version i like metallica more than megadeth im fairly new to metal so i was neutral when i first listened to both bands. And i gotta say to me megadeth is overrated.

  • if you listen closely, metallica changed the first riff of four horsmen from the mechanix so it sounds different from mustaines version..you need an ear for that ..any way: vocals-hetfield ,guitar- kirk (especailly cuz of the middle section but also cuz the last solo is more melodic and fast whereas daves was just fast). bass-cliff (although ellefson did nicely too) and for drums-i think lars did it tastefully cuz he used rides and triplets during the verses but megadeth takes teh drums lol

  • @Squall6575 lyrics hetfield too!

  • I don't know why Metallica slowed it down on the album. They played it pretty fast live ,at least by '86.

  • @pjustusxi everybody plays faster live

  • i prefer kirks way of playing guitar... and james voice

    but dave wrote it.. both are good but i prefer the4horsemen

  • Four horsemen is better.

  • I like Kirks solo in the Four Horsemen, Daves solo in The Four Horsemen is Awesome too. James is a way better singer. Cliffs bass kicks serious ass

  • lets be real and face the truth that dave is the one who wrote them both so he is the man

  • four horsemen is definitely a better song but dave mustaine was part of the creation of it but its better than mechanix because of the way metallica play it!

  • slower sounds better. so...four horsemen.

  • i like mechanix better...not only do i like mustaines vocals better than hetfields in 4 horsemen, i also like that its how the song was supposed to be..plus, 4 horsemen has more serious lyrics, while mechanix is basically about mustaine fucking some chick in a garage, which some people might not like, but it shows that mustaine didnt give a shit about what people thought, which is what metal is all about...both are epic songs, but i prefer mechanix..

  • honestly the four horsemen is better in my opinion because it sounds more heavy but I think Dave should have just left that song when he was kicked out because Mechanix just sounds so Metallica, if it was instrumental then you would think that Metallica was playing that.

  • mechanix ( the four horsemen ) ...change the name ....only mustaine song !!!!!!!!!

    and version on megadeth is very faster and solo and awesome

  • mechanix Blow away the metallicas one...but both are cool

  • um, megadeth's version is faster, metallica's is slower, but dave's version is about a bunch of girls and he's checking them out. to put it simple, he's a pervert on that song, metallica's is about the four horsemen of the apocalypse, but in all, both versions win in my opinion

  • megadeth sucks

  • Both songs are great!

    Metallica and Megadeth are two awesome bands!

    James and Dave are two geniuses!

  • Dave wrote that song before being kicked out, then he made Megadeth.

  • I like the Four HorseMen better BUT I'm a Metallica AND MegaDeth fan!!!!!

  • Dave wrote them both so...they both win

  • @comicozy87 no, he didnt

  • Stop with this MEGADETH VS METALLICA . 4HORSEMEN ITS GREAT MECHANIX TOO.STOP SAYING METALLICA SUCKS MEGADETH'S BETTER OR MEGADETH SUCKS METALLICA ITS BETTER,FUCK WE GOT TO LISTEN TO THEM NOT JUDGE THEM FUUUUCK

  • @TheRodrigogta4 shut up peacemaker faggot, nobody cares what you have to say and theyre not going to stop feuding just because you decided to write that comment in all caps.

  • four horseman is the shit better thn mechanix

  • There both so great, i like the foursmen because its alittle heavier slower yeah but its longer, so i dont have to repeat the song, but mechanix is so aggresive and just amazing

  • Megadeth: It was written by Dave, and MD plays it faster and with a more thrashy attitude and speed. Sounds epic

    Metallica: Too slow but better singer at this time. More melodic

  • para mi es the four horsemen!!

    q una cancion tenga mas velocidad q otra no significa q sea superior, the four horsemen tiene la suficiente potencia, tiene excelentes solos y una mejor letra y la voz de hetfield es mejor, pero mustaine es virtuoso guitarrista!

    Cheers!

  • The Mechanix is More Better is more fast, is more agressive, is more thraser!!!!

  • las dos canciones las escribio mustaine u_u yo prefiero mechanix porque es la quecanta mustaine...

  • Four Horsemen has Better Vocals & Better Lyrics.

    But Mustaines Great too.. Metal for ever guys \m/

  • Methallica version is slow but clean... Megadeth version is fast but agressive... 

  • its a matter of what you like to hear.. me personally, i dont like mustaine's voice. love hetfield's though

  • Four Horsemen bitch!

  • Mechanix.

  • Do you know why The Four Horsemen is slower than Mechanix??.... Because Kirk Hammet could not play it faster!! Haha, and that people is the truth!

  • Even though Mechanix is faster than The Four Horsemen, I prefer The Four Horsemen.

  • Both are AWESOME. Well mechanix is #7 in my Megadeth list and The 4 horsemen is #13 in Metallica's.Both rock. My opinion about debut albums of the big 4:

    1.Show No Mercy

    2.Kill 'Em All

    3.Killing Is My Business

    4.Fistful Of Metal

  • its stupid how they say Mechanix is better than Four Horsemen, or that Four Horsemen is better than Mechanix. They are the same shit dumbasses. Different tempos, yes. Different lyrics, yes. And Four Horsemen just has 1 part different than Mechanix. Other than that, they are both the same thing! Grow up and open your eyes douche bags!

  • Megadeth!

  • Well, I like both bands alot and i wouldn't be able to judge but the Four Horsemen sounds a little better with melodic , awesome riffs and being able to hear it and has a beautiful solo, while mechanix just has speed and a fast solo. The four horsemen appeal more to me so it wins.

  • i prefer mechanix

  • Why do we do this?really iv been a fan of both bands for 25 years.fact is both bands are awsome both have lasted the test of time and realistically what are our choices?other than Motorhead,slayer,maiden and bits and pieces of anthrax,and a select few soso bands what else is there?christ be happy both bands rock and stop comparing every last fucking detail,there not purses! Stop being bitches

  • @TheMetalliholica

    Dude, there are so many bands better than shitallica. Kreator, Testament, Evile, Pantera, Sepultura to name a few

  • J'ai toujours trouvé que The four horsemen était rapide, mais en entendant Mechanix, ça change tout.

  • Men Of  5 Still Alive .

  • both good songs if you ask me. but i prefer teh megadeth version a little more

  • The four horseman sounds so slow but its still over 200 bpm most songs dont come close to that. Four Horseman is about the same bpm as through the fire and flames which just sounds so much faster

  • Four Horsemen + more fast almost like Mechanix = best choice

  • 'tallica should not hav been able 2 play it dave wrote everything

  • the mechanix doesn't have the triplet bass drum 'gallop' that the four horsemen' has, and it doesnt have the bridge/ bridge solo so i guess METALLICA!!!

  • I prefer James' voice. But I like the speed on The Mechanix.

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK DAVE MUSTAINE SHOULD PLAY THE MECHANIX OR THE FOUR HORSEMEN WITH METALLICA

  • the mechanix yeah!!!

  • Comment removed

  • i like megadeth better then metallica

    but i like the four horseman better then mechanix

  • Mechanix is a lot better. It makes me headbang

  • Well... I like the voice of Dave and the speed on the guitars at Mechanix, butr I like the drums and that bridge that Metallica did... so I think both have their good and bad things....

  • idk i like the fourhorsemen better jus cus of james voice and the tempo is just right. mechanix is too fast and u cud barely hear the riffs

  • Hey, to all Megadeth fans, please don't judge Metallica fans by that moron below.

  • @Scarecrow545 I agree with him

  • The Four Horsemen I dont think faster is better i like the pace of the song its heavy as it gallops throughout and I would also like Dave to play this with Hetfield and Ulrich; musically megadeth is better even though I think Hetfield is a better rhythm guitarist and cliff as a bassist but in the end you have to give props where props are, i love both bands and i for one cant wait for the big 4 to come to the states.

  • I Want to hear metallica and megadeth perfoming that song in one stage! The Four Mechanix!

  • @DrummerSVK83 it´s in Kill'em All Is My Business :)

  • @DrummerSVK83 yeah ...but without kirk ...

  • Mechanix is better, but metallica is a better band, but i still love them both, The Big Four!

  • You must not know anything about metal. Climb out of your mommy's ass and learn some music before you try to come back at me fool. hah what a chump you are.

  • the metallica is better than megadeths is just a sped up version and dont sound as good. but the 4 horesmen is dave song so he did it better the first time.

  • @D011ARS4G011D First off, learn to write English you fucktard. Second, he wrote the song as Mechanix, but the dumbasses that consist of Metallica (postDave) turned it into an idiotic cluster fuck song that does not hold a candle to Mechanix. So no, Dave wrote the song while In his first band Panic, and the buttfucked Lars Ulrich can't play real metal so he had to have it played slower in order to not look like the piece of shit Danish trash he is.

  • @dwdrummer714 also, Lars should have stuck to his tennis. What a piece of shit drummer. Seriously look at videos such as 'Lars feet stink' in order to understand. You fuck.

  • @dwdrummer714 You are Stupid! You even talk to yourself. What a Idiot!LMAO!!

  • @dwdrummer714 Are you telling bullshit stories still. Damn, get a life and go away already chump!

  • @ElectricHellfire hahaha wow you have to degrade your comments to weak attempts of smack talk. you actually gave me a little chuckle. ya fuck. dw drums. thats class and the best drums made. Electric hellfire? Did your daddy call you that when he raped you as a child? Or was it your personal pet name for yourself in your shit gayband?

    How bout you research music and musicians before you try and talk to someone with knowledge, although if you knew half of what I do your head would explode.

  • @dwdrummer714 We apologize. An error has occurred in fetching the comment. Please try again.

  • the metallica is better than megadeths is just a sped up version and dont sound as good.

  • Vocals : Metallica Wins Its so Fucking great

    Drums: Megadeth Wins is more fast

    Guitar: Megadeth Wins is mooooore fast

    Bass: Metallica Wins have best achords

  • Drums are better on Mechanix

  • Not to take anything away from Dave but I kind of like the four horsemen better.

  • four horsemen was recorded too slow and mechanix too fast but vocally metallica wins so METALLICAAAA FTWWWWW!!!!!

  • Mustaine wrote both songs. I prefer The Four Horsemen because the song has more riffs and solos compared to the Mechanix, but in my opinion, Daves singing in the Mechanix is awesome along with his lyrics.

  • mechanix es la original asi que es mejor mechanix cuando todavia tocaba dave en metallica

  • mechanix es la original asi que es mejor mechanix 

  • you are a bunch of idiots that do not play music or have no musical taste if you think that the mongoloids in Metallica are better than the true musicians of Megadeth. And Dave did write four of the songs on Kill em All; the waste of spunk that is Lars and James stole his music. At least they had the fuzz on their peaches to put his name for credit on the album. Fuck Metallica, Megadeth are the real musicians and winners in this battle every single time. So fuck off posers and douchers

  • the orignal is alwas better.

    megadeth \m/

  • The Four Horsemen is way better. Big time. The Mechanix has noting on the four horsemen.

  • Four Horsemen has better vocals, but Mechanix is way faster.

    I prefer Four Horsemen...

  • First of all mustaine wrote mechanix when he was on metallica, when they kiked him out of the band metallica change the lyrics and the title and make it shitty and slower.

    oh did i mention that most of the solos in kill em all where compose by dave

    dave also wrote jump in the fire when was 15 and some part of the lyrics of ride the lighting so metallica should thank dave of all that instead of stealing his song

    ps: both bands are great BUT i think megadeth is better :D

  • @ElectricHellfire i think you don´t want to face reality

  • @reinono654 Reality is you are a STUPID little fat boy with not life!!!

  • @reinono654 you think? dude, megadeth rapes metallica in the fuckin vagina

  • @reinono654 FACTS: Mustaine's contribution to the early years of Metallica were still acknowledged; he received co-writing credits on four of the songs in Kill 'Em All. Two songs, "The Four Horsemen" and "Jump In the Fire" were originally written by Mustaine and "The Four Horsemen" originally titled "The Mechanix". It was performed at many early Metallica shows.

  • Comment removed

  • @reinono654 Following Mustaine's exit, replacement lead guitarist Kirk Hammett added a mid-paced, melodic middle section. Hetfield also wrote new lyrics for both songs and retitled "The Mechanix" as "The Four Horsemen". Mustaine then sped up the original version of The Mechanix, renamed it simply "Mechanix" and included it on the first Megadeth album. Mustaine's other writing credits on Kill 'Em All are for the songs "Phantom Lord" and "Metal Militia. Quit reading unatuherized shit fat ass!

  • @reinono654 Kill Em All is acclaimed for combining high speed and a tribute to the band's early NWOBHM influences: Diamond Head, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motörhead and Venom, all English bands who combined the heaviness and technicality of Black Sabbath with the speed and aggression of punk. It is one of the first and most influential thrash metal albums. Mustaine was not on the record so don't give him credit that doesn't belong to him. Just some more facts for you liar fat boy.

  • Metallica, Four Horsemen hands down. Does anyone remember Mustaine's mess?

  • @ElectricHellfire Mustaine's mess???? He is one of the best heavy-metal guitar players of all time with his crunch riffs and fast solos. WTF MAN.

  • there shouldn't even be the four horseman, it's just a fucking backstab from metallica to dave mustaine.

    by just stealing his song and just to change it.

  • the four horsemen is way better because you can actually hear what james is singing xD

  • metallica wins bitches!

  • I thinkI prefer the Metallica Demo version of this best. I love Dave's Mechanix lyrics.

  • they're both really great songs

    but i gotta say the four horsemen, because i prefer james' vocals

  • I think Megadeth`s version is a bit better, more energetic, but Metallica has different style... So it doesn`t fucking matter which one`s cooler, just enjoy the pure thrash metal \m/

  • the 2 songs has composed by dave... the four hoserments... the prinsipal riff... vocal progresion and the solo has composet bye dave.. kirk only play his solos on "kill e'm all" mechanix realy is a compilation of prinsipal ideas of dave when he was in metallica..

  • The 4 horseman = better cuz the mechanix sound like gay dragonforce

  • It is the same song, but megadeth is a better band, so i'll say mechanix

  • the four horsemen win

  • Chuck Norris Wins

  • mechanix is faster, but it sounds like shit, so the horsemen win

  • Alright every1, lets just agree on the obvious... Slayer is better \m/

  • @x3metallicrose41x not if your very religus

  • @Flames262574 Im catholic bro. And so is Slayer's singer, Tom Araya ;). Its religious/ideaology tolerance that makes us all better people =D

  • @x3metallicrose41x im catholic too i like slayer too man, i know a couple of people that dont like them just cuz of the lyrics and i understand but i dont mind,

    slayers awesome

  • who gives a shit dave wrote both

  • @zetanbow16 this is what im tying to say god dammet every body here are shitty metallica fans....

  • Megadeth and Metallica are both amazing bands the difference between the two is james is a better singer. Metallica also went through that peroid where they wanted to cut there hair, and become new or something the they made load, and reload not the best ideas. Megadeth also had that little peroid to where they made risk which is awful

  • Idk which one i think is better......I think Megadeth's version is more thrashy ina good way....when i play this song i play it somewhere between tempos....

  • nah man megaseth sucks!!! dave is a shitty vocalist and it sounds like there version is sped up!!

  • Comment removed

  • @ThrashMetalAJM metallica sucks megadeth rocks

    and dave mustaine is the best thrasher in the whole world

    and you know what?

    fuck you you dont know what real thrash is........

  • @TheMetalkey i never even said metallica was better!!

    lmao your probably some megadeth fanboy that bitches and says there godz of thrash!!! fuck you bitch!!

    u dont know what thrash is.

    there are many underrated thrash bands that are better then megdeth

  • @ThrashMetalAJM actually my favorite band is exodus and than kreator and than slayer. but i still think that dave mustaine rocks and metallica are playing for their money and not for thrash...

    have you ever heard the album load?

  • @TheMetalkey really? well mines is Evildead and Death Angel!! \m/ well i only like (early) Metallica and dont care for the others..

    ilv heard 2 songs and well i honestly dont like it but w/e

  • @ThrashMetalAJM dude whats is your facebook name?

  • @TheMetalkey i dont use my facebook anymore.. my ex has my sign in info soo fuck thatSHITTT!!! lol.. if u wanmt ad me on this shit.. w/e's good

  • No point for arguments-Dave is a better guitarist by far.Metallica used his guitar parts and changed his lyrics and that's the worst crime a musician can do to another.On the other hand James is a better vocalist but none of their voices really impresses me.Megadeth never imitated metallica.Dave is as old and original as James is.

  • @jona260415 fuck you ya limp dick

  • hasn't anyone noticed that the album 'killing is my buisness' sounds so much like metallica's 'kill 'em all' mustaine is just a copy of metallica even the name Megadeth sounds almost the same as metallica and the logo also looks the same. in my opinion they are both mutherfuckin awesome but metallica has better music.

    (that doesn't mean that mustaine isn't an awesome guitarist)

    Four Horsemen all the way ball lickers

  • I think that the lyrics and singing in The Four Horsemen is better but i like the music in Mechanix better

  • dave can't sing at all. james is 1000 times better singer than dave. and metallica have better lyrics so four horsemen is much better.

  • MEGADETH!! MEGADETH!!! THE BEST BAND IS MEGADETH!!!

    METALLAKAKA HAHAH LOL. GAYS FUCKS!! LOL

    MEGADETH!!!!

  • MEGADETH!! MEGADETH!!! THE BEST BAND IS MEGADETH!!!

    METALLAKAKA HAHAH LOL. GAYS FUCKS!! LOL

    MEGADETH!!!!

  • So, I agree that Dave wrote it, but with Metallica. And it sounded, in my oppinon, better 'cause Metallica puts something in their songs; EMOTION, compared to Mustaine who likes it fast and heavy w/out emotion... But he's still a good song writer. The only thing I hate aboute Dave is that he never changed his fucking 1980 style w/ his lion's hair lol. But about this song, Dave dicided that it was "his" song and copied it with Megadeath, he only changed the lyrics.

  • Dave Mustaine is the winner!!

  • Didn't Mustaine write The Four Horseman? I'm not sure. I may be thinking of another song. But, i prefer Megadeths anyway. Both bands a great ofc!

  • four horsemen is lyrically and vocally better but the mechanix is faster. So i say the mechanix. But if the four horsemen was the same speed as the mechanix i can tell you that the four horsemen easily wins

  • Megadeth!!!!!!! fuck yeah but i dont have anything against Metallica so dont get all pissy

  • I have to say, after watching several live videos of both bands, there are pro's and cons to each. However I feel that Megadeths is faster, and that Dave's solo is better. Plus Lars' bass drums were off time. Overall I like Megadeths better.

  • i have to go with mechanix

  • Personally I just lkike Mechanix more. I've always leaned towards mustaine over hetfield, and Megadeth to Metallica. I just like the song better sped up lol, essentially its almost the same song just faster and slower tempo.

  • Faster is not always better...

  • the solos and tempo for four horsemen are way better but i give dave his props for writing mechanix

  • Fuck Megadouche, Fuck Dave Cockhole and fuck the maker of this vid. Metallica for life Dave can kiss my balls.

  • I gotta say as much as i like megadeth... Four Horsemen blows Mechanix away. mechanix is faster but sounds weak compared to 4 horsemen. Not to mention james's early vocals blow mustaines away.

  • mechanix sounds like sped up.. no tempo, no music, its shit... The 4 HMen = Epic

  • the mechanix is more thrash than four horse men

  • Well admittedly Metallica's version is of course vocally better ,playing is really great by both bands so winner is Metallica (but considering the fact it's Mustaine's song...hmm it's kinda complicated then)

  • @gtbawwfrs just because its mustaines song doesnt mean he wrote the drums and bass or lyrics,

  • @gtbawwfrs it's not fucking mustaines song these great solos were written by kirk

  • @gtbawwfrs Listen here you nerdy fuckhead. Of course the winner would be Mustaine, as it is his song. But the jack rags that make up Metallica turned his material into a tampon of metal; aka pussy shit. Lars can't play over 150 bpm, so they had to go the Charmin route. Grow some fuzz on your peaches boy and learn you some metal.

  • @dwdrummer714 Another basement/no it all wannabe. You are pathetic, get a life little boy. You are not even in the same league as Lars. So stop causing trouble and have your mommy change your poopie diaper. Damn little boy you reak or is that you breath?

  • Four Hosemen all the way

  • mmm mechanix was writen by dave in panic, the four horsemen was a tribute.

  • the lyrics of metallica are way better then those of megadeth, in the end i just like the four horseman better

  • The 4 HM all the way!

    mechanix SUX

  • hey guys i like four horsmen better because it has a more menacing title i mean when i hear mechanix in my head i just see gears.but the four horsmen it sorta gives me a chill.know what i mean.besides mechanix is just a faster version of four horsemen

  • Fuuck youuuuuuu

    The 2 Ruleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

  • Dave Mustaine wrote the damn song so why is the point of arguing

  • Megadeth with Mechanix is so much better! The speed, and the rawness is in another league than The four horsemen.

    Now days Metallica is just a trademark, the last thrash metal album they ever did is ...And Justice for All

    Megadeth have always been and will always be the ultimate Thrash/Speed Metal band.

  • Megadeth and Metallica are the best in Thrash but hey dont forget anthrax , slayer,sadus,nuclear assault, artillery and more man

  • Well mechanix is obviously better, but both songs are sick, but if you look at it another way they're the same exact song! Dave just kept the original lyrics and incresased speed by like 80 bpms

  • @Riverview46 they are both good but daves voice sucks so obiously the four horsemen is better

  • mechanix obviously

  • megadeth has better riffs and metallica has better lyrics :D

  • @GBeast2029 not better riffs dude:P just faster:P Dragonforce has fast riffs.......................

  • @GBeast2029 How can Metallica have better lyrics, if they're both made by Dave Mustaine..
