  • personally i like metallica's version better because the lyrics are better, and the song is played at a better tempo. the middle part where kirk added on to it sounds soo good and kirk actually changed every solo of daves in this album, he only used the first 4 bars of the old solos and then from there he changed it

  • mustaine wrote the song it's meant to be fast. metallica just play it slower because there not skilled enough to play as good as mustaine! i like both version's though so all you metallica fanboy's can fuck off!

  • four horsemen is better IN EVERY WAY take it from a guitarist. changing into "another song" means complex song structure and thats what influenced most of today's metal

  • the horseman is shit! half way threw it turns into another song wtf? and besides even if u call fourhorseman better ur still givin ur credit to dave xD all metallica did was ruin it , o btw @AwashRocker999. metallica is ment to b thrash and there version sux, jst shws they have to rip off dave to make sumfin good, and even then they ruin it xD face it metallica will alwais suk!

  • Metallicas version is better more smooth and metal like. Megadeths version is unclean and thrash like IMO not good

  • horsemen 100% better than mechanix

  • FUCK METALLICA

  • @93thrasher mechanix is better than four horsemen, killing is my business is better than kill em all. But If were gonna talk about 1983, show no mercy fucks both albums in the ass

  • Dave mustaine makes me wanna run through the streets of pakistan with a an AA-12 automatic fire Shotgun, in full gear.

  • HAVE TO GIVE IT TO THE HORSEMAN

  • James

  • prefer metallicas better

  • Both of them are so fucking badass!

  • horseman are much better

  • metallica ftw

  • Horseman!!!!!!!!

  • The Mechanix sounds more Thrash.

  • Hey Guys! I have a new video! check it out!

  • i'm big fan of both of them, but for me mechanix wins, after listening to mechanix four horseman just sounds lazy, it's still good thought

  • @Tettuli

    i agree

  • both are good,but i gotta go with the four horseman.im sure this comment is gonna piss off some megadeth fanboy but so fuckin what.the four horseman was cleaner,heavy but still had much melody n rhythem.mechanix doesn't have that cuz it just seemed like mustaine was trying too hard to out-do metallica.

  • Thanks for the info

  • both sound good but i would go with megadeth cause dave wrote it in the first place he deserves all credit

  • @mrfailsalot I have to agree with you. It seems like Hetfields version is at half speed. Dave has a complicated and intricate style that is hard to mimic. As a guitar player myself Metallica's stuff is easy to play, but some of the solos put out by old Megadeth (Marty and Dave) are murder to learn man! Just an opinion! They are both epic! On a different post somebody made the comment if Dave never left Metallica we would have been cheated out of Megadeth. Makes you think...

  • To all fellow metalheads.

    Instead of a Metal rebellion i propose a new plan.

    1. Don't bash other metal artists, we need to unite. We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together.

    2. Watch more and other metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list

    3. Instead of bashing pop, promote metal with logical reasons, not just "METAL RULES!"

    If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and also spread it around if you like this idea"

    STOP VS

  • MEGADETH!

  • @mrdavedoherty haha how much Dave pay for that comment?

  • I like both songs, but I think that Mechanix was better on No Life 'Til Leather when Dave recorded it with Metallica. The version recorded by Megadeth sounds kind of rushed to my ears and it is also not very melodic.

  • I like both songs, but I think that Mechanix was better on No Life 'Til Leather when Dave recorded it with Metallica. The version recorded by Megadeth sounds kind of rushed to my ears and it is also not very melodic.

  • Metallica is and always has been better.Megadeth are still fucking great though.

    Alot better than bands today

  • the mechanix was better when dave was in metallica! but now the mechanix sucks huge dick!!!!

  • Metallica was way better than Megadeth back in the 80's but now Megadeth is better

    I'll be awesome if metallica makes a fuckin thrash album!

    anyway... The Four Horsemen is better

    Metal Up your ass DAVE!!!!! hahah

  • mechanix is faster, much much faster, but horsemen is better, the lyrics r much better, the singin is better, and the solo is much better

  • it's DM's song so it's : the MECHANIXXX

    MEGADETH = METAL

    METALLICA = poprock xD

  • @DirtyLuvah metallica = pop rock????, i take it you never heard of megadeths album risk

  • @MetallicaMadMan666 Yeah, album Risk vs. Black Album, Load, ReLoad, St. Anger, Death Magnetic. Nice comparison, jerk. Oh yeah. United Abominations and Endgame. Nuff said

  • @0intelligence0 black album is a great album, and yea load, reload and st anger arent that good but they're not as bad as risk, that album was pure shit, at least load - st anger had some good songs, theres not 1 good track on risk, plus cryptive writings and youthanasia are pretty crap to, but yea i agree with you that united abominations and endgame are really good albums, i like death magnetic but endgame beats it hands down, FUCK ITS A GOOD ALBUM, fuck this im away to listen to it

  • @MetallicaMadMan666 St. Anger sucked as much as Risk did. Hey, Cryptic Writings at least had thrash songs like FFF, She-Wolf and Disintegrators. DM was cool, but they still haven't got the old-school feel like Megadeth now. It's a disappointment not to have a good album like they used to make for 20 years now, eh?

  • @0intelligence0 i prefer st anger over risk, theres no song on risk that i enjoy but there's a few on st anger that i think are ok, and FFF, she wolf and disintegrators are ok songs but they arent thrash, there more like hard rock, and you are right that it is a disappointment that tallica cant make albums like they use to

  • @MetallicaMadMan666 Lol? Dude, they aren't 80's old school thrash songs, but they have a very thrashy character. I actually find one or two songs from risk listenable, while St. Anger is a heap of noise and non-connected, awful-sounding riffs, horrible drum sound and drumming and singing make my ears bleed. Also, Dave noticed Risk sucked, so he went back to older style, and succeeded, while Metallica didn't do so.

  • @0intelligence0 metallica have gone back to their older style with DM, its just no were near as good as 80's metallica, lets just say we both agree that new megadeth kicks new metallica's ass, ok?

  • Mechanix!!!

  • Sorry you typed all of that in the video description to get responses like megamaiden1994's.

  • James is better vocalist

    Dave better guitarist

  • METALLICA IS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!

  • MEGADETHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHH the better!!excelent solo

  • Horsemen is so much better.

  • HORSEMEN

  • i like the four horsemen better but this vid isnt fair. the mechanix sounds like it 10x faster then from kimb

  • To be fair, this version of Mechanix sounds like it's live & it's significantly faster than the one on Killing is my Business. Although Dave plays Mechanix faster anyway, but this version is way too fast. It could also be from a demo.

  • regardless, both of these songs are stuck in my head now. so i dont care which one is better

  • mechanix is a laugh... mustaine has the worst vocals and plays the song so fast it loses its clarity....

  • ][V][EGADET][-][ WINS!!!!!

  • MEGADETH!!!!!!!!

  • more is speed is less maenig for you? dave plays that way be cause he can, and he feel that speed. mustaine is the super sayayin of hetfield...

  • Megadeth!

  • MetallicA rules!!!

  • The faster you play, the more meaningless you get.

  • I guess you can imagine why the vocalist in kill em all was james and wasn't mustaine... megadeth songs are good but I hate mustaine's voice...

    ...but lthat is my personal opinion.

    In mechanix you can't enjoy the riffs as good as the four horsemen

  • The Four Horsemen is a little bit to slow, The Mechanix is a little bit too fast

  • METALLICA FUCK YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!

  • pancakes are his business... and business is good...

    fuck you

  • Mechanix, Megadeth, Megadave, Metallidave, he owns metalliva, literally.

    i know james and lars formed the band, but when dave joined, it was instantly his band, get over it faggot emos.

  • Metallica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • MEGADETH!!!

  • MEGADETH

  • MEGADETH:but who made this video put a demo version of mechanix....the quality is too much lower..in any cases long live to megadeth..they disgusted me only once...metallica more than megadeth.mustaine is a genius

  • is horsemen the four horsemen

  • hell yeah horsemen wins for 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000 points

  • hetfield had a really bad ass look in 1983 it was awsome

  • you guys are all idiots. Dave wrote BOTH songs so keep your mouths shut by thinking horsman is better then mechanix when they were written by the same person. you guys no nothing do you. Why do you think dave had to rewrite the song and name it mechanix. becuase metallica took the four horseman for themselves and totally pissed dave off which i sure the fuck would have been too. this conversation is over

  • Comment removed

  • @aldude345 lol ok he wrote both....so what? its not over fagot if he wrote all metallica songs or not still metallica is ALOT better dude actually i dont need to shit u out with facts cause u perfectly know it metallica is better

  • @mewmas yes i admit they are better if you look at the numbers. BUT lest not forget that megadeth have stuck to thier roots besides risk and that album was i thought pretty good as well Dave eats james for breakfast on the guitar and i dont see james holding the goldon god redward do you. And also thier music is much more comlex and thrash like and i dont know why the fuck metallica is still a considered a thrash band when there are far from that these days. Face it musicianship goes to dave

  • Comment removed

  • @mewmas and one more thing. If metallica tried to make any song like headcrusher, diolectic chaos or this day we fight. There arms would fall off and they would be blown sky high. lol. got anything to say to that :)

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @mewmas I really dont know what makes you think kirk is better though. He is very overrated to todays standard of music. Just check out some of chrises videos on youtube and you will see what i mean. And chris's REAL talent lies away from megadeth. just do some youtube searching and you will see what i mean. Skill and music writing wise... Chirs is ten times better. You find me some proof to challenge me and i bet you run into a brick wall :)

  • @aldude345 nah i never said kirk is better and if i said well i was wrong but i said james hetfield is better than dave and lars better than nick mmmm i mean he would never be able to finish any song from And justice for all.... his feet would fall of his body cause he wont be able to play "the shortest straw" LOL and u say this day we fight if u think about the 80´s u know it metallica is NOT at megadeth level but alot better beggining with cliff

  • @aldude345 and also u cant actually just say megadeth is better than metallica because megadeth is a metallica ripoff... seriously it was created by dave´s anger to james and lars

  • METALLICA vs megadeth :)))

  • Dave mustaine is the best and he's much better than james hetfield but i gotta say that Horseman is awesome and is better than mechanix.

    But that means nothing,kill em all was a great record but megadeth has proved to be better than metalica.

    Metallica could never release something like Rust in Peace.

    But this is a neverending discussion...

  • @MCALL99 Actually I think both of them have ammzing skill, but for doing different things: Mustaine writes epic, fast, ripping solos and Hetfield writes these really really memorable melodic riffs. Nothing wrong with any of them, but still I think Megadeath by today are a lot better than Metallica, whereas back in the eighties they were on the same level.

  • @MCALL99 hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha­hahahahahahhahahahahahahahaqha­hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahhaha let me laugh. man who's considered the greatest metal band in the world? who had won thousands and thounsands of grammys. and if that rust in peace album is good why didnt it won death magnetic on GREATEST METAL ALBUM EVER. youre pathetic

  • @MCALL99 How have megadeth PROVED to be better than metallica?

  • four horsemen wimp shit.

    mechanix real thrash

  • Not a fair comparison! The Mechanix is a live version and is being played waaaay fast. The Mechanix is faster, but, much cleaner on the album. Love both bands, but, I gotta give it to Megadeth! Its heavier and just plain THRASH!!

  • This might be the ONLY thing I like better from Metallica that from Megadeth.

    The Four Horsemen is way better than The Mechanix.

    As a Megafan, it hurts to admit that, but it's the truth lol.

  • From how i play mechanix's dave's version is to slow but i play that way to fast for it to actually be recorded but i like both version's i wish it was the four mechanix's making the speed mechanix and then the awesome solo that the four horsemen has

  • megadeth has always had better lyrics...and their over all image and sound has always been better to me..i love metallica but what..kill em all..ride the lightning..master..justice..bl­ack..magnetic? the only ones i own..vs killing/buisness..peace sells..so far so good..RUST IN PEACE..countdown..youthanasia.­.cryptic..hidden treasures..world/hero..system/­failed..abominations..&endgame­..not to mention all of Slayer..the mega audio sux...mechanix=wolf...horseman­=family pet

  • @troceroquijas dude WTF, NO man, megadeth lyrics sound wierd examples: hello me meet the real me, what do you mean i dont pay my bills

    metallica has better lyrics like examples: death in the air strapped in the electric chair, So let it be written so let it be done To kill the first born pharaoh son I'm creeping death

    also james beats dave at singing

  • mechanix sound very bad...

  • i think the four horment was write by mustaine in metallica and the mechanic was write by mustaine too

  • The horsemen solo kicks ass!!!

  • HETFIELD!

  • megadeth is just a bunch of random shit and there lucky that it sounds O.K on there good days

  • This vid is shit...sorry. you're comparing early day megadeth live material to metallica studio version. how is that a fair comparison?

  • I'm glad the Dave left Metallica, the new Metallica is the biggest joke of a band i know. I mean yeah they are pioneers but their new album was complete garbage. And Dave created Megadeth which is such an awesome band.

  • when i first heard mechanix, i laughed...  what a joke.... the vocals? omg, embarass much.. no wonder my brother told me to avoid megadeth...

  • Comment removed

  • Mechanix wins. Only thing that's better on the horsemen are the lyrics. Mechanix has an intro and a more complex starting riff, and it's double faster, and i like the solo better than horsemen

  • METALLICA RULES!! MEGADETH IS DETH & FUCKOFF!!

  • @nmg4499 Feeling butthurt, fanboy? Go fuck yourself, ridiculous poseur, you didn't even name one reason. If you don't like any of the Big 4 of thrash metal, you're nothing more than a faggot poseur, so go die

  • @0intelligence0 dude daves a gay machanic and it might be faster but it sounds way shittier than the horsemen i got both megadeth and metallica records, and both are good bands but metallica is on a different level than lameass megafuk

  • @TheMrphilshit hahaha, Metallica can only be jealous of Megadeth musicians. EX: one thing: Gar Samuelson. It's disrespectful to compare him to the lameass douchbag Lars

  • @TheMrphilshit Whatever, it's your opinion. But it's a fact Mechanix is better. It has better guitar work, better drums (By far), better solo. Only thing, as I said, that is better on horsemen is lyrics.

  • @TheMrphilshit Thats because youre not badass enough for megadeth... the four horseshits is lame.

  • MUSTAINE

  • how the fuck do you make the transition from lead guitarist to singer and rhythm like if your try to prove yourself as a fucking beast then shred up as lead guitarist. Plus how can dave say that Kirk sucks when dave is the fucktard that got his own ass kicked out and believe me he had plenty of chances to redeem himself hes obviously or was blind to the fact that he was a terrible drunk. So for sum1 to say that he deserved a 2nd chance well than your oblivious to the whole story...

  • All , kindly stop the bloody argument and admire both the bands...these are better than fuckwhose engage , shit park , dicknot and other fuckin numetal pieces of bikinis

  • Comment removed

  • can you imagine hetfield, ulrich, mustaine and burton will be like the best thrash metal band ever

  • Four Horsemen wins. Metallica is my favorite band, but I love Megadeth too. Except Dave Mustfail fires his band members after every album... fail. Megadeth isn't even a band. It's really just Dave Mustaine's solo project, since he has a new band member for like every album.

  • Can you blame him after what Metallica did to him, he wrote the the music that made them what they are with kill em all. Then they throw him out without ever letting him trying to clean himself up.

  • METALLICA!

  • i like how you put megadeths live version, where sound qaulity is crapper and theres a couple of mistakes, and metallicas is the perfect studio verion, dude serioulsy make this fuckin fur and stop bummin tallica!

  • I also just want to add how stupid these comparisons videos are. If you're just gonna play the music side by side it's going to just end up being a flame war between fanboys, saying one band is amazing and the other is shit, finding no middle ground. If you wan to actually COMPARE elements of the songs, such as tempo, or things added such as the bridge solo in the Four Horsemen, that's fine. But as it stands, it's just a huge troll fest.

  • I dont think Dave and James can be compared. Dave is more of a lead guitarist while James is a rithym guitarist. Both can be respected within their our terms... James has written some of the heaviest riffs in heavy metal. On the other side Dave has written some of the most remembered solos in heavy metal. However Dave has been very consistent in releasing albums while Metallica has been very consistent on stage.

  • Metallica everytime.

  • Megadeth everytime.

    oh, and

    @TarmacSkin

    While I agree that Dave is a great lead guitarist, he is first and foremost rhythm player, and an amazing one at that. He most of the songs / riffs in Megadeth, all of which are fucking amazing (and almost always more complex than Metallica rhythms). Megadeth has almost always been incredibly solid live (times when Dave was really drugged up it was a little rough, but aside from that...).

  • no metallica would not be better if they had dave........ i think if cliff burton wouldnt have died metallica would be like they were when they came out with ....and justice for all

  • how can u say metallica wud not be better with dave? dave is the greatest metal guitarist that has ever lived, and he'd ahve kept tallica on the straight and narrow.

  • horsemen is better

  • In my opinion, both bands are great, but if Metallica wouldnt have fired Mustaine, Metallica would be wayyy better today :o.

  • i love both bands too,but i think it´s better metallica fired mustaine because if they had 3big egos in the band they had already disband in the 80´s.

  • true dat :P

  • hell yeah

  • Mechanix is so damn fast that is almost noise, i prefer the four horsemen

  • and metallica goes on mostly with brutality, megadeths music bit more technical, that why i like megadeth more

  • pffft, my opinion is that megadeth is better, before every1 starts whining, i say that mustaine was chosen world's best guitarist 2007-2008, hammet was 5th. and hetfield was 20th.and its true that mustaine wrote the most of early stuff of metallica. AND!!!! listen to lars's drumming, that's what destroys metallicas music, i dont sat that metallica is wrost band ever walked on earth, lightning and puppets are good albums, but metallica went hugely downwhen cliff burton died,

  • Very true. Dave is much more technical than both James with the riffs and Kirk with the solos. And Lars killed it especially on St. Anger with the terrible sounding steel percussion.

  • ehh i very much disagree.

  • haha dont make me laugh if you dont know anything about metal better shut your mouth xD... lars is a double pedal drummer and megadave change drummer every year! megadeth is a one man band xD

  • it seems that you didnt get my point, i meant that megadeths music is technicaly better, in every point, and it doesnt matter is megadeth one mans band i choose my favourite band from music, not from the members of the band, and it's same to me if the chanche their drummer once a day, only if their music keeps good

  • Mustaine did not write most of Metallica's early stuff. He helped write a handful of songs on Kill 'Em All and co write two songs on Ride The Lightning and that's a fact. He didn't write any Metallica songs after Ride The Lightning.

  • Of course you say that four horsemen is better 'cause that megadeths song was so shit quality.why not listen the version what is on killing is my busines...

  • Pfft...

    Way to stack the odds, playing a live version against a studio version.

    (mechanix sounds better imo)

  • Mechanics sounds worse 'cos this is live version vs. studio horseman. Put both live (or studio) and then comment...

  • 4 Horsemen absolutely better than Mechanix. Mechanix is just faster and it sounds stupid...plus it doesn't have the awesome part that horsmen has (2:01 in this video) BTW, Dave did not write any Metallica song in full. He has writing CREDITS, which means he made contributions. Metallica wasn't going to write all new songs. You have to remember that they fired his ass the same week they were gonna record KEM.

  • THANK YOU!!!! sick of hearing how dave wrote all their early stuff. not true not true. he made CONTRIBUTIONS ...... AT BEST. james has proven he is everything and much more

  • jajajaja horsemen is so better!

  • horseman in my opinion kills mechanix.. Mechanix is like freaking going way to fast and does not show any passion... That is one thing about Dave he may be great but a lot of times he cares about speed not if it is great sounding. :|

  • @PotatoSeargent but live versions of both songs are at the same tempo

  • @PotatoSeargent Well, they are a thrash metal band...

  • you know what no one is saying here? that Mechanix were suposed to be a Metallica song. so in one way its kinda hard to say that one version is the best one.

  • how can you compare endgame

    to and justice for all?

    years apart.

    maybe Mustaine isnt the best song writer alive.

    but he has made some pretty amazing songs in Megadeth.

    just saying no need to compare him with James.

    Dave just doesnt give a fuck.

    (Just Saying)

    I Love Both Bands Anyways haha

  • Metallica has always been and always gonna be better than megadeath. Megadeath is good to but not that good.

  • @Tharag999

    you're going to claim that "Metallica has always been and always gonna be better" when you can't even spell megadeth correctly?

    Megadeth has always had better guitarists and drummers, Metallica has always had a better singer. lyrics and song writing depend on the listener and how the song applies to them.

  • A verse from Endgame: I woke up in a black FEMA box Darkness was all around me, in my coffin My dreams are all nightmares anymore And this is what I dream every night A verse from Death Magnetic: When the world has turned its back When the days have turned pitch black When the fear abducts your tongue When the fire's dead and gone Now its blatantly obvious that Jame's is a better lyricist...now and back then.
  • wtf this day we fight rapes all death magnetich 

    what you say about the day that never comes

    LOVE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD=== wtf REALLY!!!

  • lol

  • Go listen to vocal track only for Blackened.

    Hetfield fucking SLAYS Mustaine in every possible way on that whole album alone. Lyrics and vocal wise.

  • James has always been and will always be a MUCH better lyricist than Mustaine

    James has always been and will always be a MUCH better singer than Mustaine

    However

    Mustaine is a better guitar player

  • really i always thought mustaines lyrics were deep

    daves voice fits with the music you dont want an american idol winner being in a thrash band

  • Hell no

    Listen to Endgame- here's a sample of the terrible lyrics: "they said the concentration camps came out of nowhere... yeah right!"

    Now listen to James' lyrics on Justice for all: "Halls of justice painted green, money talking"

  • oh yeah explain what

    "Halls of justice painted green, money talking" means?

  • how money affects people, not that hard to understand.. dave is awesome, but james is one of the signature ppl in trash, and metal!:D

  • It's the lyrics from ...and justice for all. The lyrics refer to social injustice

  • Dave's lyrics for The Mechanix are RIDICULOUS!

    Hetfield's version aaaall the way

  • thrash is defanitely something you dont compare lyrics in, it is all in the instruments

  • If its all about instruments then why the fuck do trash bands include a singer???

    Lyrics are obiously important

  • omg first of all it is thrash not trash and just about every band in the world includes a singer....if it werent for the instrumental stuff the music would all suck.....thrash is about musicians who are incredibly skilled at the instruments

  • MWCHANIX

  • <333MECHANIX!!!!<3333

  • Let's see? a demo version vs. a studio version. of course 4 horsemen is going to sound better. Just use both studio versions.

  • i like horsemen more. i love both bands, but horsemen sounds so much more refined and evil

  • men Mechanix is better a man what cant hear knows it

  • i like both but mechanix more

  • Only a Megadeath fanboy would claim that Mechanix is better than Four Horsemen.Megadeath play the faster they can,Metallica play as fast as it needs to be perfect.And i wont even speak for the lyrics and vocals cause its preety obvious.

  • Hetfield is a brutally accurate rhythm player, and a great compliment to kirk's leads.

    Dave is a great songwriter and can write very complicated material, though hetfield is a much better singer and rhythm player. Dave's solos arent bad, but Marty Friedman is simply godly, and his solos outshine Mustaine's.

  • I agree, also gotta give james props for keeping metallica in almost the original line up (except base), it kinda irritates me that Dave switches players every couple of albums. and yes Marty Friedman is godly, well said lol

  • I agree. although i wouldn't say het is better at rhythm. they're both pretty accurate, but hetfield's singing doesn't suffer as much while playing a difficult rhythm. although for the most part, mustaine's riffs are probably a tad more complicated. they're both great

    and yeah, marty was probably megadeth's best lead player, but both the chris's are pretty good too XP
