  • dave doesnt usually play lead on stage

  • you guys only think dave is better because o the top metal guitarist but i ask all my friends,family members kirk i say kirk too

  • lol four horsemen/mechanix speed difference : DD

  • it comparing apples and oranges people. its two different styles dave speed and thrash to kirks more bluesy style of metal. there are always gonna be kirk haters just cuz dave is faster and sings. kirks solos flow more with a little more technicality but dave is a shredder so you really cant compare the two

  • FUCK KIRK DAVE KICKS HIS ASS AT PLAYIN

  • Kirk's a little more technically skilled, and playing the right scale for the song has been a challenge for him, but Dave is a much better balanced musician in the sense that he not only plays but he writes the songs and plays a huge part in their arrangements too. And whether you like Megadeth or not you have to admit that Dave is very good at writing.

  • I think that dave is better but he has no rythm he only stupidly plays guitar

    kirk is more slow than dave but he has rythm

  • @synshadows1000 Dave's better, but he stupidly plays guitar? First off, way to contradict yourself, and second, how can you STUPIDLY play guitar? It's not like Guitar Hero where you can master it in a day, or just wing it and be stupid. You have to actually have talent to make the damn thing sound good. And you have to make LOVE to the guitar, not just beat it senseless. And Dave is a specified RHYTHM GUITARIST who also does lead...how the FUCK does he have no rhythm? Listen to Wake Up Dead, man

  • Is this supposed to be a joke? You're seriously comparing a guy who uses MAJOR whammy bar and wah wah to cover up his mistakes, to a guy who's written some of the most intense and speedy solos in thrash metal history? Dave Mustaine should be compared to the guy who TAUGHT Kirk Hammet (Joe Satriani, although I'd have to give the win to Joe...), not this bullshit comparison.

  • @MrHoopla I wouldn't say taking classes is being taught to play. Kirk was taking Joe's class during the time Kill'em All was recorded so Kirk already knew how to play, and play well. He just wanted to tighten up his style. As for comparing Dave to Joe? I don't think (my opinion) anyone can compare to Joe. I have seen all three live and Joe is flawless.

  • @mseals29 Totally. Joe IS flawless. He's easily one of the best guitarists on the planet. Now what I'm saying is that it's OBVIOUS that none of Joe's talent rubbed off on Kirk when they were training together. The two can't even be compared. Especially since Kirk Hammet lives and breathes ONE FREAKING arpeggio for most of his solos, and other than that just sticks to Penatonic stuff. Boring.

  • Which all songs have are used here??? plz tell me ......

  • @Maidenize666 First was In My Darkest Hour by Megadeth, next was Master of Puppets by Metallica, third was Mechanix by Megadeth, and 4th was Mech...er...Four Horsemen by Dave Mus....er...Metallica (lolz..). As you can see, Dave's written far better solos than Kirk. Not only that, but almost every solo from the first 2 albums were written by Dave Mustaine, and only slightly altered by Kirk Hammet. Listen to the last 3 solos. They're almost identical, except Dave plays much faster. And HE wrote em

  • No contest ! Mustaine all the way !

  • Neither.

    Dave Murray from Maiden tears both apart 

  • @maidenaust Semi agreed. Dave's still got as much talent as Dave does. Both Dave's have solos that rip anything HAMMET'S ever written apart.

  • Dave's ego destroyed dave himself, Kirk always be Kirk, both are beasts

  • People need to realise that Dave Mustaine being better, is a fact. You can like Metallica more, but Dave will always be the better guitar player.

  • Kirk's only talent is in his right foot, operating the wah pedal. Also, his solos that sound good, are Mustaine ripoffs. By the way, Dave wrote everything for Megadeth (even some bass and drum parts), sings and plays solos. @internecine69 Dave sounding always the same? Dude, what's about that pentatonic-minor-wah shit? Kirk never goes past that...

  • @0intelligence0 Go learn a solo of his

    then talk

    There just as tough as daves solos

    Daves!Not marty or chris

    Learn one,post a vid,and then ill bow down to you

    Because i know how tough his songs are,go watch my older vid of my band covering "one"

    It wasnt easy XD

  • @internecine69 Dave's solos own Kirk's ANYTIME. Like: Last Rites/Loved To Deth, Skull Beneath The Skin, Looking Down The Cross, WAKE UP DEAD, The Conjuring, Devil's Island, My Last Words, HOLY WARS, Five Magics, Lucretia, Tears In A Vial, Washington Is Next etc. He's a way more proficient guitarist and a musician that Kirk...

  • Even

    in my opinion

    kirk has better solo ideas and structure

    from some of ride the lightning to black album(even if they did sell out) he was still making badass solos

    Dave is an ass,but a good guitar player and sings,but i can play and sing to,so its not a big deal to me either,and his solos are just...all the same,no different key or anything

    So i call it Even

  • @internecine69 You might be able to play and sing, and so can I. I can even sing to the riff in Poison Was the Cure (it's easier than everybody thinks), and Holy Wars. Now I'd like to see you TRY to play and sing to riffs you create that are as difficult as anything Dave's written. Dave's not only a better lead guitarist (which should be common sense in the metal world by now, I mean come on...), he's a FAR better Rhythm guitarist than Hammet is, as well. No contest.

  • @MrHoopla Um,i have

    i do sings and play my shit

    and metallica

    including kirks leads

    Thats why its not a big deal to me

    You think im kidding when i say,i play and sing...no,Im serious bro,I shred,play,and sing

    Thats why dave doesnt impress me,Now Alexi laiho from COB,impresses me

    Not saying daves a bad guitarist,because yes,he writes the songs,but this is a guitar battle,not song battle XD and daves solos are all 12 15 17 really fast,or in that pattern

  • @internecine69 Yeah, the 12,15,17 thing was a good point, but not accurate enough to be counted as a good argument. Holy Wars, Burnt Ice, and maybe 2 other songs I can't think of right now isn't ALL his solos. He's written literally hundreds of solos that don't make any use of that 5 fret pattern you said. Although a lot of his improvised solos in Live concerts make use of that, at least he's having fun and just goofing around. It's better than never moving your index finger with Trem pick. Kirk

  • @MrHoopla We haveboth made good points

    In the end,Were both right,I just like kirk because daves an asshole

    Both of them,are not Great guitarist,but Ive just got my opinion and you got yours

    And i respect that,and at least im not running through dave mustain vids,trolling the hell out of them.Im just a fan of kirk,always have been

  • @internecine69 u realiza that krik is a deuche

  • @kingdiamondtheeye And how do you know this?lol

  • @MrHoopla the best and most epic solos of megadeth were written by poland and friedman.not by mustaine.don't take friedmans or polands solos saying that its mustaine.if he were so good at leads he would be hiring rhythm guitar players for megadeth and not lead.he is one of the best rhythm guitar players ever but not a lead.so no comparison with hammet who is a lead even though as a musician he is much better than hammet and all the lead guitarists that ever played in megadeth.

  • yes actually i can

  • @kirkhammett191 yeah in your dreams mate

  • kirk is better at everything and btw daves voice sucks dick!!!!!!!!!!

  • @kirkhammett191 Because u can sing better and play the guitar riff he plays at the same time don't you?....

  • Kirk. The End!

  • Dave destroys the,cheap knockoff, corprate baby,logoish ,wha pedle stuck to his foot,coudent play if his life depended on it ,Goof ,Hammy the hamster

    you have ears people use them

  • Dave Mustaine ftw. not even close

  • screw em both...MARTY FRIEDMAN!!

  • @tylerbate420 fuck marty jason becker :) . narr love em both fuck Hammett then :)(

  • I think Kirk is a better lead player than Dave Mustaine, but Mustaine is a better song writer.

  • dave beats him

  • Ahh and other thing, kirk even couldnt copy Dave solos as well, and plus, check the tempos, Dave played em faster, kirk really slower

  • I just listen in the video, Dave vs Dave. All the solos comes from him

  • jajaja el solo de los cuatro jinetes es de Mustaine no de Kirk tonto .... para refrescar tu memoria Mustaine grabo kill em all con metallica ... ahhh ,

  • Both are amazing

  • ofcourse dave pwnes kirk.

  • kirk changed dave´s solos because these were too complex for him, DAVE OWNS!!

  • whoever thinks kirk is a good guitarist really should be ashamed as gutiarist (unless you just recently started playing) trust me, i used to think he was god too. but god, Dave kills him in everyway. and Dave ain't no god either. not even close as a matter of a fact. but he is probably one of the best rythym players on the planet, and still kills kirk in solos. people i would consider gods are Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Shawn Lane, Jeff Loomis, Paul Gilbert, etc...

  • Mustaine is better than the failed son of satch.

  • fuck that question is it KIRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKK KIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK RULES HES FUCKING BETTER

  • @zidanpolo lmao!!! better? how? you can't exp[lain how can't you? hahahahahaha!

  • FROM TWO, ONLY ONE... HAMMETT

  • kirk is best

  • Does anyone else find it funny that your comparing a guy who is meant to play lead, doesnt have to sing and play (kirk) to a guy who sings, plays, wrote one of the best thrash metal albums (rust in peace, being up there with reign in blood and Master of puppets) and he plays solos, even though he really isn't supposed to?

  • @Razzbri I fully agree, he's not suppose to play solos, because they really don't sound anything special (one exception is the kick the chair solo)

  • @buoghuoj devils island solo, good mourning black friday, wake up dead? all great solos dave wrote and don;t get me on the metallica ones that he wrote

  • @Razzbri  so true man!!

  • @Razzbri

    Fyi, Dave isn't really that good of a singer. Not dissing him or anything, but he just isn't. I'll admit, Dave is more talented than Kirk. He's able to (somewhat) sing, write, and especially play.

    And another thing, it's not like he's playing solos WHILE he's singing. Now that'd be something.

    Metallica = Megadeth in my opinion.

  • malmsteen ! lol...

  • haha a good guitarist in his own right, but his technical shit gets a little old

  • @randizzle89 pfffft/ malmsteen is better than both by far. lol

  • @Phant0mAssass1n malmsteem plays like a god but sounds like shit.

  • Dude, I dont know if its just me, but that first pic reminds me Angus Young... who is that?

  • vocalist for sepulutra

  • MUSTAINE! THE KING OF THRASH!

    all of metallica's greatest songs are written by him anyway!

    (I LOVE BOTH) i just prefer dave mustaine!!!!

    MEGADETH FTW!

    and if you actually pay attention and listen then you would clearly see that dave is bettter as a guitarist. its not that much an opinionative conclusion :) 5 stars on this vid btw :)

  • and justice for all, master of puppets, no remorse, fade to black, bell tolls, damage inc, all of metallica's greatest songs none written be mustaine, point proven

  • @guitargek07 but also arent written by hammett

  • From a big Metallica fan:

    Dave Mustaine is much better

  • dave mustaine is a prick and an asshole. megadeth sucks ass. kirk hammett fucking owns dave. metallica for fucking ever.

    \m/

  • fuckin fan boy, Dave owns the retards ass anytime and you didn't even state a reason why Kirks better

    DAVE MUSTAINE 4 PRESIDENT !

  • dave porsupuesto

    aguante megadeth !!!!!

  • could james do solo`s? was he good enough to do lead or only rythym while singing?

  • Kirk Hammett. Mustaine is fast but sloppy.

  • I like both

  • The answer is = 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists

    by Joel McIver

    and Dave wins, obviously.

    Please kirk, learn how to use a Wah, you make my ears bleed.

  • DAVE MUSTAINE BITCHES!!!!!

  • dave because he is faster and he wrote some of metallicas better songs

  • kirk

  • daveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­e

  • woah he cut off kirks solo >:O!

  • i like both too!

  • DAVE!!!!!!

  • dave just destroys kirk and eats his childreen

  • a webo0o apoyo al killemall009

    a webo0o

    pero0 prefiero0 a kirk lee hammett

  • Dave Mustaine!!

  • Kirk may have more feel,

    But he's not as versitile.

    Dave has little feels,

    but hes so much more outside of one box,

    as it seems 2 be with kirk.

    I give them a tie

  • kirk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it really depends for me, IMO Kirk's soloing is  better and more versatile(altough he uses the same scales a lot) but Mustaine's riffs are FAR SUPERIOR to kirk's in every way.

  • Too bad almost all these solos were composed upon a "single"-tone riff...

    They should have more interesting backups like Glenn Tipton who almost always ends his solos in a really spectacular way, most thanks to the creative riffs behind the solos

  • Dave > Kirk.. both are very talented though

  • the last solo on mechanix sounds like random note but wen u hear kirk last solo on four horsemen it sound like her knows wat hes doin mustaine is good rhythm player but kirk better solo play (well at least back then wen he didnt use wah as much)

  • wow! dave really does better solos!

  • Dave!!!!!!!!!!!

  • benton for pres mustaine for vice lol

  • no fair using four horsemen to solos on top of eachother

  • Mustaine is a better player, but Hammet wasn't stoned

  • Kirk Hammett!!!

  • mustaine grande

  • kirk es solo un ladron de ideas si no se hubiera robado las ideas de mustaine no seria nadie y lo unico k haria es sacar discos malos con ganas como el death magnetic

    mientras k mustaine es un genio compone buenas canciones como peace sell, hangar 18 etc puedo enumerar muchas y lo hace siendo original y todas las canciones tienen riff muy diferente muy de unas a otras mientra k todos los riff de kirk son casi iguales o sea malos

  • eres un recentido..... todavia te acuerdas de eso que paso hace muchos años..... y ademan esas canciones de mustaine tambien son de hetfield... en ninguna parte sale que la hizo mustaine solo.. en todas copero hetfield asi que nadie a robado ideas a nadie, aunque no halla coperado mucho tambien le pertenecen a hetfield... y creo que la letra de four horsemen es mejor que la de mustaine "the mechanix"

  • Could Someone Please Tell Me The First Two Megadeth Songs Played

    And By The Way Mustaine For President!!!

  • Don't get me wrong, Hammet is BAD per se, but technically, its not even a question that Mustaine blows him out of the water. Not to mention that Dave can actually write songs, Hammet relies on Hetfield as far as writing goes.

  • Thats supposed to say ISNT bad per se, just fyi.

  • Comment removed

  • if ur a so called metallica fan u shud have known that mustaine was in metallica prior to hammet!!

  • Dave Mustaine is a more diverse song writer and player. He can do the straight up shredding and put feeling into his solos. Kirk hammet just overuses his Wah- pedal and aimlessly moves his fingers up and down on the fret board.

  • hammet is better and has played longer

  • Lets put it this way. Ive been playing for a year and a half and i love playing kirks solos cuz their fun, but i cant even attempt Mustaines solos, to good haha. Love em both, Mustaine kicks kirks ass tho

  • everyone who says Hammett never seems to give a reason onnly "Hammett pwns Mustaine"

    which is why you are all fanboys

    Hammett is a great player but Mustaine wins all there is to it

  • kirk hammett

  • comparing an old metallica guitarist to the new one.

    kirk all the way!!!!!!!

  • Yeah haha that's why he uses wah and do the same scales all the fucking time. Seriously, just listen to Wake up dead solo. I've heard Kirks guitar playing at DM and the solos sucked ass seriously...

  • kirk is way better

  • ur an idiot

  • How is he better?

  • Lol for all saying Kirk Hammett, listen to his solos on the No Life til Leather demo.

  • DEFINANTLY KIRK HAMMETT! dave will never be half the guitarist kirk hammett is!

  • dave has way more variety. from the blues scale to the pentatonic and minor/major scales with some harmonic minor(wake up dead).

    the only thing kirk uses is like pentatonic with sometimes an f# thrown in

  • Did U Ever Try The Solo of Dave In My Darkest hour... Ah ah ah 10 Seconds of Orgasm !

  • FAN BOY

    Im sorry but saying Hammett beats Mustaine is like saying PC games are better than Porn, Mustaine is faster, plays harder and faster riffs , he's a better shredder he has a mix style of lead and rythem plus he is the vocalist the answer is obvious when Mustaine is simply the best

    MUSTAINE FOR LIFE

  • 1:Mustaine creates whole song even whole albums all by himself Kirk only solo's.

    2:Mustaine his rythmm parts are sometimes even harder then Kirks solo's

    3:Dave is technicaly better if you deny this your just a fanboy for sure and at musical point its opinion.

    4:Mustaine sings while he plays wich is pretty dam hard especially Megadeth thats insane to sing and play.

    5:Kirks solo's really suck on Death Magnetic!!!

    6: Dave is the godfather of Thrash metal suck on it fanboys cause its true.

  • Man ,screw you just go and die.

  • wow thats a interesting thing to say.

  • 5 indisputible facts, and yet the fanboys will fight back

  • Dave rules!!!!

  • KIRK HAMMETT

  • Kirk Hammet

  • on the first screen that dave has an orange guitar....isnt that a dean guitar??

  • yup.

    look at the head the wings clearly are the dean logo.

  • dave is for SURE faster...the thing that hammet is good is his own unique solo whriting...but still he has not very unique style of playing a thing that dave has....

    DAVE FOR SURE in my opinion...

  • you can't compare them.... Dave is much much better... actually hammett is a pretty lame guitarist

  • kirk hammets solos sound kinda the same to me

  • Dave is faster and Plays much better riffs plus he does vocals and can handle both rythem and lead skills

    MEGADAVE 4 SURE

  • Dave win !:p

  • Kirk mainly because he has been with Metallica when they wrote much better songs than with Dave. Dave only cares about, "Oh ya, I just like to sound fast! I don't like playing slow!"

  • Listen to his solos on High Speed Dirt and the demo for Symphony of Destruction. He CHOOSES to play fast because its his style, and it fits metal more.

  • mustaine is better

  • I always thought that it was a dick move on Metallicas part to take Daves solo and put it in the "Kill em All" album.

  • I got kirk on this dave is awsome but they didnt play some of Kirks more amazing solos

  • MUSTAINE ALL THE WAY

  • DAVE WIN :D

  • creo que alos que amamos metallica ala gran mayoria tambien nos gusta megadeth y este tipo de pelea u debates no tienen caso en nuestro caso ami me gusta mucho megadeth y tmb creo que alos fans de megadeth nose pero ellos son los que hacen esto no se si es porque estan enojados por lo que paso hace ya mas de 20 años. saludos metallica y megadeth grandes

  • dave eates shit ...

  • SO DO YOU =D

  • hammet all the way!!

  • we can't compare 2 music's gods! METALLICA AND MEGADETH 4 LIFE!

  • Dave owns

  • I am massive Metallica and Megadeth fan. I really think dave is talented. But Kirks solos are so much more fit into songs where as dave just does a mad solo that sort of does that. Overall Kirk Hammet as he brings so much to metallica and also he wrote the enter sandman solo which some say is the geatest metal solo ever.

  • nothing bad about metallica, but enter sandman solo sucks!! Its just wah wah all the way!!

  • Daves had the harder life

  • Dave all the way..

  • Kirk!... i think METALLICA would have been less successful with Mustaine, Megadeth is my second favorite band though

  • Mustaine is realy great, but Kirk is betterm my opinion.

    Mustaine vs Hammet = God vs. God

    Megadeth vs. Metallica = God vs. God

  • ¡DAVE MUSTAINE!

    ROCKS

  • I'm going with Dave on this one, not just for his solos but also a lot for his riffs and stuff like that

  • Dave is not always the main guitar.

    Maybe Kirk made more solos.

    Or not?

    If im not right, tell me.

    I support ]-[ E G A D E T ]-[

  • kirk is gay...

  • Kirk just because

  • dave!!!

  • dave blows balls

  • kirk wins but metallica could get better drummer...lars is shitty. <3

  • both are great.. one thing i dont get though.. when it comes to the 4 horsemen, everyone thinks daves solo is better coz its played faster. I think kirks version is better when its played a little slower. i mean speed doenst mean its better, which its seems everyone thinks..but thats just my opinion.. and for the record. I know that dave wrote the horsemen solo.

  • okay dave mustaine wins without a doubt i mean kirk isnt even that good hes not bad but when compared to a thrash monster like mr.mustaine

    he looks pretty bad like god awful if u ask me

  • Dave Mustaine by far for me

    (Kirk Owns too)

    But dave wrote jump in the fire!

  • Both are gods whit guitar but i just like kirk a little bit more

  • Dave Mustain won

    fuck all the pozers that vote 4 kirk !!!

  • Dave is way better

  • These 4 solos by kirk fucking murders dave. Damage inc, Blackened, Dyers eve, and unforgiven... Bring on the thumbs down but there is not one solo by dave that can top the thrashy solos of damage inc and dyres eve...

  • why does all do thumbs down on kirk fans???? both amazing gods.. but i think dave makes all his solos to fast and needs tro concentrate a bit more on accuray... kirk does both i think:) il vote kirk but dave is amazing ofc too:D

  • DAVE MUSTAINE IS THE MAN!!!!!!

  • Speed doesn't make Dave better.

    I think Kirk sounds more under control, and thus, better.

  • There both good but I like Mustaine better.

  • P.S To use 1's own music Agianst 1 (mecanix)Is un-ethical, tastless & proves the oblivousness off the public at large......Dave's a God........kirk's very average
