ovbs meagdeth resons, in skill megadeth is way more skilled and talented example dave kills kirk, marty kills james, david kills cliff, and nick kills lars, metallica sold out 3 times and sued napster, and they made some of the worst metal albums of the decade and they needed therapy, don't get me wrong metallica is cool and all up to 1988 but megadeth is by far better overall
Said the Metallica fanboy. You mean to say Megadeth doesnt have musical brilliance? It was a poor day for Metallica when they brought in Kirk instead of Dave and a good day for Megadeth fans when Dave was kicked out by Shitallica
I Did not say they did not have brilliance in their songs. "Tornado Of Souls" is maybe on of the best metal songs ever written.
Anyways, what you dont seem to understand is that it is my opinion, yes I personally feel as a long time fan of bouth bands that Metallica is pretty much a couple of levels over megadeth. Deal with it.
metallica plays diffrent genres! megadeth only one! you can see the talent in metallica already! megadeth only reason to famous was friedman, and dave mustaine only cares about himself, moustly of megadeth music vids its always daves face, metallica have only one music video with only james on, megadeth have the same basic in every song, and many songs from megadeth sounds the same, and dave havent done anything else then drinking, drugs and talking shit about metallica, dave is great guitarist
Negative. Dave wrote allmost everything in Rust in Peace, Countdown to exctiontion and Cryptic Writings, Risk was influenced by Marty who wanted to changed the direction of the album to something more "radiophonic"
filthc Megadeth plays different genres, but they are typically more subtle in their approach. The 'Risk' album alone proves you are wrong. Also Megadeth was 'famous' before Marty Friedman joined the band, so your point is invalid. You don't know Dave so you can't truthfully say that he "only cares about himself". You are also wrong about Megadeth videos (makes me wondering if you've even seen one). Sounds like you've been drinking too much Metallica fanboy Kool-Aid!
Dude, do you have a life? I've found you on 5-7 Metallica vs Megadeth/Kirk Hammett vs Megadave. oh god... Is it really that important to you? Telling everyone that Hammett should be ignored? And no, I'm not a Metallica fanboy. I love both bands. Awesome musicians all of them.
i cant belave some of you (newer and older ) fans still think has avything to do with "metal, thrash metal, or speed metal" or any kind of music there the kings of rip off!....there name...there 1st 2-1/2 albums...the only good music with there name on it......fuck people PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
This is very pathetic, i watch the metallica vs Megadeth vid and they put all of Metallicas shit songs on there. Megadeth music literally sounds the same to me. I used to listen to both of em a hell of alot but megadeth is like disturbed. very repeditive.
thats fuckin right megadeth wins all you saying metallica is better obvisously dont know your shit cause your gay and like fat dicks megadeth all the way!!!!
this is awesome. I mean clearly metallica is better than megadeth [megadeth, for a supposedly metal band, released a POP album for christs sake] but in addition to that, we also have the added bonus of people like joe4849323 defending megadth and humiliating themselves in the process. Thanks guy!!!
i cant see how metallica did sell out? they made the songs that james could sing since james voice cracked after black album tour ho lasted for 3 years..he cant sing seek and destroy or enter sandman without his voice cracked..they didnt stop with their style. but they made what james voice could handle..and they wasnt afraid to try something new. metallica still owns since his voice is returning..watch 08 conserts and you see:D
what? you mean the the fact that metallica sold out their principles to appeal to the masses with shit radio music so they can achieve this stature and megadeth didn't. so that makes metallica better? megadeth didn't sellout thier style for money (well maybe there risk album but they quickly learned that error) musicion standpoint megadeth is better corporate music industry standpoint metallica is better and thats the facts
I see your point and in some way i agree. But when arguing who is better out of these two bands, I feel the only thing that seperates the two is metallicas success, which Dave has tried to acheive that level of success, he has admitted it himself saying he originally wanted to surpass Metallica. I like Metallicas "sell out" stuff but prefer the older stuff. (Except for St Anger: lets prey megadeth don't fall to a similar low!)
thanks for a decent grown up response u don't get that much on youtube. I look at it from a musicians point of view (I've played drums for 20yrs) and anybody who knows guitars knows mustaine is way better than hetfeild and hammet also when marty freidmann was in megadeth what a guitar combo!I say put in megadeth's rust in peace album then put in metallica's and justice for all. they were released around the same time and it seemed like almost a duel. if you ask me megadeth won hands down!
I also agree with you about Dave mustaines playing. I also play drums myself but I prefer the writing style of metallica, also i was introduced to them before i heard megadeth so maybe that has something to do with it. But megadeth definately outshined metallica in the mid 90s right up until now. I think death magnetic is ok, megadeth are recording now as well.
I like to think both bands are better off with Dave in Megadeth and metallica as metallica.
I know what you mean. I love the first four Metallica albums and the black album was a solid 'hard rock' release. But for the last 17 years Metallica has released overhyped, subpar, mediocre albums. For all the hype over 'Death Magnetic' you'd think it was the best thing since sliced bread. But I listened to it and found it to be yet another mediocre Metallica release. On the other hand Megadeth is still producing quality metal albums. Can't wait for their next release with Broderick!

Uhh, metallica has released subpar, mediocre albums for 17 years, and megadeth hasn't? Let me introduce you to cryptic writings, risk, [A freaking POP album, jeez] youthanasia, the world needs a hero, the system has failed and united abominations. Guess you ignored that part of their discography, huh?
Death magnetic absolutely crushes anything megadeth have done since countdown.
jost... what's interesting about your comment is that you didn't dispute that Metallica has released mediocre albums for the past 17 years. Instead you used a diversionary tactic that finds fault with Megadeth. The work Megadeth has done can't compare with the subpar albums Metallica has continued to produce. Yes, 'Risk' was a poor release and even Dave agrees it was a mistake. But don't forget that it was Lars Ulrich who encouraged Dave to change his sound.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No, what I did was point out the hypocrissy in a sheeplike post. You're right, the work megadeth has done in the last 17 years CANT compare with what metallica has done, as bad as st anger is, it IS still at least a metal album and has some decent riffs on it. Risk, on the other hand, is a flat out POP album [I love how dave tried to put the blame for it sucking so much on others when he has always been the creative force in megadeth] Pop and nothing memorable about it
jost... 'Risk' wasn't supposed to be a metal album. It was an experimental release (thus the name 'risk'). Yours is the typical Metallica fanboy double standard... it's ok for Metallica to change their sound, but it's not ok for Megadeth to go in a different direction. Dave took Lars' advice and changed their sound. He gave Dann Huff too much production control. The result was a commercial disaster. Essentially the responsibility does fall on Dave's shoulders.

Megadeth is supposed to be a metal band. If you dont want to do metal, do something like an md45. Megadeth is supposed to=metal, but risk proves they can be a POP band. Is dave mustaine another jonas brother?
Your 'sound' argument is typical of megasheep unable to read. Nowhere did anyone say it wasnt ok for deth to change their sound. Youth is good, cw is ok...I guess. The point is its not necessarily about the sound, but the SONGS, and megadeth definitely faltered more than metallica there.
jost... your persistent picking on Megadeth for releasing a 'pop' album implies that it's not ok for Megadeth to change their sound. You also cling to your double standard by saying that "Megadeth is supposed to=metal". Well, what about Metallica? AJFA was their last true thrash metal release. Also, generally speaking, I think Megadeth have written better songs and have a better sound. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Me picking on 'deth for releasing a pop album does NOT imply it's not ok for them to change their sound. You are embarrassed that you came to that conclusion.
Changing their sound is one thing, jumping completely out of one genre of music [metal and/or hard rock in general] to another [POP] is another.
jost... actually mine was a reasonable conclusion based upon your earlier comments. At any rate, your most recent comment implies that it's ok for an artist to change their sound as long as they stay within a specific genre. Metallica had a country song on their 'Load' album, thus your point is moot. Musicians are not subjected to your narrow-minded rules and are free to change their sound or cross genres whenever they want to.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
In reality your conclusion was sheeplike, looking for a retort when there was none.
There are no country songs on load, so your attempt at a point was made in vain.
I'm sorry if your narrowmindedness has forced you into the mentality that you are displaying. Sure they arent subject to not changing their sound, but no one should whine such as you are when said artist is made fun of for releasing embarrassing material such as the humiliating risk [worst album deth or metallica have done]
jost... the song is called "Mama Said". James is even dressed like a cowboy in the video. He played the song with country singer Jessi Colter on CMT's Outlaw Concert... strange thing for someone to do with a song that's not country. Your comments reflect a delusional and hypocritial mind full of double standards. You use diversionary tactics when you're wrong and try to extract emotional responses through mild insults. I've proven you wrong every time, yet you continue to spew forth nonsense.
Last time I checked, mama said was a soft rock song. Perhaps you need to take your blinders off? Perhaps they performed that song because james was there to perform a waylon jennings tune that hecovered, and they also played a metallica song that wouldnt ruffle feathers. That doesnt make it a country song. You've been embarrassed and humbled yet again.
The fact you sit there and say your sheepish fantasies have proven anything is all that needs to be shown to know you've been put in your place
jost... what's James doing performing a Waylon Jennings tune on CMT? Didn't he know that according to your rules of music an artist should stay within their own genre? lol I guess he realized that he's not subjected to your narrow minded rules. So James can go on CMT and perform country songs... but Dave can't make an album that has an overall 'pop' feel? Can you say double standard?
James went on there, not metallica. You're embarrassed again. There's nothing wrong with an artist expanding their horizons, as long as they do it properly. If metallica had gone on cmt to perform a country song, then your attempt at a point might hold some water. Sorry to shoot you down yet again.
Dave can make a pop album if he wants. Megadeth cant and still be taken seriously.
jost... "Nobody on the internet....the waylon jennings tribute was aired on cmt." What in the world are you talking about? Since you obviously didn't read what I wrote and seem to be having trouble forming complete sentences I think we're done here.
Yeah, it was a bad album. I agree with that. I don't know why you would defend St. Anger, but that's another story. However, are you saying it's not OK for a band to make a mistake later in their career? I'd say Megadeth bounced back from it pretty well.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
megadeth is like the frekin ghayest band ever they have horrible singing, and metallica pwns them. even though metallica is old now, they still rock the new album is freakin sick!
megadeth and metallica are completely different styles megadeth is more technical and metallica has more agression ill go for metallica cuz they have allot of great songs
This is just false. No one thinks this. Megacrap is SOOO bad that they should not even be put in the same VIDEO as Metallica. Metalllica. is soooo better than stupid megadeth that its not even funny. This wass rigged. METALLICA IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. I was expecting to get flammed for that. When will people EVER wake up and realize that Metallica was NOTHING special. Sure, they still had their fair share of OKAY material but compared to Megadeth??? Megadeth totally kicks their ass!
metallica was nothing special? metallica has been kicking ass for 20 fucking years, if you know anything about music go listen to some of their old shit seriously megadeth is terrible, dave mustaine is a good guitarist but metallica is just a better band who gives a shit about a fucking youtube video, you think that means more than the actual music
Megadeth is terrible? The guy with Metallica in his name says what? You can't be serious dude. Listen to all of "Wake Up Dead", all of "Hangar 18", all of "Good Mourning/Black Friday", the "My Last Words" solo, the "Lucretia" solos, the "Tornado of Souls" solo, and all of "In My Darkest Hour". If you still think that Metallica is better after listening to these, then you really need to get a new pair of ears. Megadeth has more talent than Metallica can ever dream of having.
I can listen to master of puppets, hell, the entire MP album, blackened, ride the lightning, etc and still say metallica are better. Megadeth have had more talented musicians. Great. Dragonforce has better musicians than megadeth. They suck. Point being that all the talent in the world doesnt mean squat if you cant construct good songs. I dont mean megadeth cant do that, hell they have for a long time. My point is metallica is better because hetfield/ulrich are better SONGWRITERS than mustaine.
watch the interview with dave mustaine and lars ulrich, mustaine was fucking crying and calling metallica out for kicking him out of the band, megadeth wishes he was in metallica, and thats the fucking end of it
Megadeth is the band metallica wishes they were? So metallica wishes they had a total album sales of 85% less, a rotating lineup of bandmembers due to one members overinflated ego, a spot in history lower than it is now, and more bad songs in their catalogue?
It's mustaine who to this day whines and cries wishing he was still in metallica, no one in metallica ever said they wished they were in megadeth, lol.
LOL. I'm saying that Metallica wishes that they had as much talent as Megadeth has. And maybe one day, Mustaine will finally get over being kicked out of Metallica and just realize how much BETTER his band is. So what if Metallica has more album sales! BLA BLA BLA! That means NOTHING! And Megadeth has more bad songs in their catalogue? LOL. You're kidding me, right? Even if you think that, Megadeth still has something that Metallica doesn't have. It's called HANGAR 18!!!!!
And where has having had more talent gotten megadeth? All that ability didnt translate to better songs overall. They have their aces like the aformentioned hangar18, but guess what, for a ahngar18, metallica has master of puppets. For a holy wars, metallica has a blackened. We can keep going down the line and will run out of good megadeth songs before we run out of good metallica songs.
Yeah yeah yeah. Get over MOP already! It's so overrated. "Hangar 18" absolutely CRUSHES MOP. Also, "Blackened" is good but it doesn't hold a candle to Holy Wars. For "Fade To Black", Megadeth has "Good Mourning/Black Friday". GM/BF is better than FTB. For "For Whom The Bell Tolls", Megadeth has "In My Darkest Hour". IMDH is indescribably better than FWTBT. For "Whiplash", Megadeth has "Rattlehead". "Rattlehead" is far better than "Whiplash". Must I go on?
Good lord, I guess it's true. You megadeth fanboys DO sit there and masturbate while listening to hangar18. I mean it's a good tune and all, but you fanboys are sitting there getting wood over it, and it's embarrassing. kea>>>>kimb rtl>ps being crap mop>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>sfsgsw ajfa=rip tba>cte youth>>load cw>>reload garage inc>>>hidden treasures st anger>risk. anger? risk bad, lol.

Either you are dave mustaine, or you wash his balls by hand. You are the most embarrassing megasheep I've ever seen.
My album comparisons stand. As bad as st anger is, at least it is A ROCK album, and not a techno POP album like risk.
In the end, no amount of talking from me or a whiny fanboi such as you will prove much, so I close with this. Mustaine wishes he was still in metallica for a reason, no one in metallica wishes to be in megadeth. Mustaine himself knows he's lost the battle.
I don't care if Mustaine wishes he was in Metallica. Maybe one day he'll wake up and realize how much BETTER his band is than Metallica. He shouldn't care about album sales when he has a much more LOYAL fanbase and more good songs under his belt than Metallica. Also, Megadeth's guitar player's have written solos that Hammett wouldn't be able to write if his life depended on it.
If he was so uch better, then he wouldn't be crying himself to sleep every night about it. More loyal fanbase? Probably so, The lack of intellect and blind sheep like loyalty is pretty embarrassing. You ever been on the megadeth message board? Pretty humiliating stuff.
Let me know when megadeth write more good songs than metallica. As it is, megadeth have already 2 horrible albums and 2 generic as hell albums.
Okay, what Megadeth albums are generic? I'm dying to hear this. Let me guess, none of Metallica's stuff is generic. Megadeth already have more good songs than Metallica, and they're going to have even more when their new album comes out. Megadeth's new album with Chris Broderick on lead guitar is going to put Metallica to SHAME!
uhh, have you not heard UA or tshf? hell aside from being generic as hell, they are chock full of recycled riffs. One thing you can say about metallica, none of their stuff is generic, even st anger as bad as it is. Metallica have 7 good albums, megadeth have 5, and thus more good metalica songs.
Broderick playing on it is meaningless. They've already had friedman. It doesnt matter who plays lead for them, adolf mustaine is a dictator in that band and tells them what to play.
Megadeth has 5 good albums MY ASS! Their only bad album is "Risk". That's it! And yes, I've heard all of UA and all of TSHF. Saying that TSHF is generic is like saying that Poland's playing is generic. Also, UA and TSHF are full of recycled riffs? My ass dude. The ONLY two songs that resemble ANY of Megadeth's earlier songs are "Sleepwalker" (Holy Wars) and "Never Walk Alone...A Call To Arms" ("Vortex"). Any TRUE Megadeth fan knows this but you don't since you're an idiot.
5. PS, sfsgsw, rip, countdown, youth. kimb isnt good because mustaine pointlessly crammed to many riffs into the songs, causing them to not flow seamlessly. songwriting trumps ability. CW is average. Risk is the worst album either band has released. When I think of megaeth, I think metal, not techno pop. twnah is horrible. tshf and ua are just generic as hell. Anyone who isnt a blind sheep knows this, but since the only word you've posted in any reply here is "baaaaaa baaaaaa", you're an idiot.
"St. Anger" is by far the worst album between Megadeth and Metallica. You can't get more worse than having NO GUITAR SOLOS. I mean, get real dude! "Risk" was a bad album but it HAD GUITAR SOLOS. As far as TWNAH goes, I hated it at first but then, I fell in love with it. It definitely isn't a Megadeth album that I would pop into my CD player every single day, but when I do listen to it, I have a blast.
Risk is by far the worst album between megadeth and metallica. You cant get any worse than a metal band releasign A TECHNO/POP ALBUM. I mean get real dude! St anger was a bad album, but IT WAS A METAL ALBUM FROM A METAL BAND. As far as twnah goes, when dave isnt ripping off diamond head riffs, he's making more TERRIBLE songs. motopsycho...wht was he thinking?
So what! "Disconnect", "1000 Times Goodbye", and "Dread And The Fugitive Mind" are better than any of the shit that Metallica has been doing for the last 17 years.
That's okay. Everyone forgets things. Anyway, I think that the "Rude Awakening" version of "Return To Hangar" is better than the studio version. It sounds much clearer. Pitrelli's last solo on RTH is absolutely SICK!
Yea man i definatly forgot but yea man i love Rude Awakenings version too Al's solo in RTH just kicks ass. I love Dave and Al's solo in Burning Bridges as well. Ya know what i was thinking the other day, you know Al's solo in Dread And The Fugitive Mind?, well i think its kinda like Tornado Of Souls because the rythm is kinda the same and Pitrelli is just killer on the solo but its jsut one of my crazy thoughts lol
You know what's funny? I actually like the way Pitrelli does his "Dread And The Fugitive Mind" solo better on "Rude Awakening" than in the studio version. On the studio version of that solo, Al does the final section (the crazy legato section) of the solo on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th frets. On the RA version, he does that part all the way on frets 18-22 (I'm not sure but it's somewhere near there). I just think doing that part of the solo that way sounds better.
Dude even so Vortex has wah and it goes into a shit load of hammer ons and pull offs and never walk alone doesnt they have like a two notes that are the same thing but thats it and as for sleepwalker and holy wars Bad Omen has the 5 hammer on to 7 and 8 pull off 5 thing in it and its not recycled it really is used differently in each one of those songs.
Exactly. As long as some notes are used DIFFERENTLY, then it isn't recycled. Also, "Vortex" and NWA...ACTA might sound the same but they're actually completely different. I've looked at the tabs for both songs.
Yea they definatly are used differently and if anything bad omen should be mentioned before holy wars because the hammer on and pull offs are on the same string and frets in both songs they are just in different order and in sleepwalker they use power chords in between the hammer on and pull offs. so there is the difference in those 3 songs.
Part of the hammer-on section in one of "Bad Omen's riffs goes 5h6h7. That alone makes it different from "Sleepwalker" and Holy Wars. HW goes 5h7 and so does "Sleepwalker". Getting back to "Bad Omen", the solos on that song are CRAZY!
Yea your right i mean its still the same concept though, but yea they are man Chris's opening solo is killer and then dave's solos at the end just are amazing. I love the thing about dave is that on the first couple of albums he actually sweeps. I think that is pretty cool. Like in The Skull Beneath The Skin, Bad Omen, Set The World Afire, and Rattlehead i thought that it was the coolest thing especially for that time period.
You're right. Megadeth has always had that edge over their "Big Four" counterparts. Slayer and Anthrax certainly didn't use sweeping in their solos. As for that shitty guitar player from Metallica, I'm not even going to count his "sweeps" sweeps because they're so SHITTY that it's not even funny. Now, I'm not trying to start any other arguments but I just wanted to say that since you brought that sweeping part up.
I dont really like Anthrax if anything it should be Exodus in the Big Four instead of Anthrax. Slayers cool they are just not for me. Metallica has always been the 3rd worst of all of them. Kirk definatly sucks and just runs up and down a scale with wah and then he goes down the neck just pulling off really fast or taps its quit sad actually. There was a video of some kid that was 8 playing a metallica song i would love to see an 8 year old try to play megadeth.
Kirk Hammett isn't a crazy thrash metal guitarist by any means. His solos are just plain shit. Even when he tries to get crazy, it sounds like utter shit. It just boggles my mind as to why he's put ahead of a god in Dave Mustaine. Dave's solos on "Wake Up Dead", "Bad Omen", "My Last Words", and "Hangar 18" (to name a few) blow Hammett out of the water!
Yea he definatly sounds like shit. Dave really blew me away on KIMB i mean the Chosen Ones solo is amazing and Looking Down The Cross is really long and awsome and Last Rites Loved To Deth is really really good i think thats his best shredding work on that record.
Dave's "Chosen Ones" solo is so underrated. I think that it's one of his best solos even though it never gets mentioned as one of his best. The same thing goes with "Looking Down The Cross" and "Loved To Deth". However, I think that Dave really showed how much better he is than Kirk on the "My Last Words" solo. Kirk could NEVER write a solo as cool sounding as that one if his life depended on it.
Yea it really is i mean his solos are more structured now but before they were just full on balls dropping shredding but yea my last words is really amazing and it does show how much better kirk is i mean even though the my last words solo isnt slow it shows alot of feeling and emotion.
I don't think that the "My Last Words" solo was meant to be slow. It was meant to be insane and damn is it ever insane? The MLW solo has some of the COOLEST hammer-on and pull-off sections that I've ever heard of (sound wise)!
Oh i know im just saying that he is probably one of the only guys that actaully make a fast solo sound like its very emotional. I actually thought like when i first heard the solo that he was tapping that part but he is actually hammer on and pulling off stuff so like that was a great surprise for me
Yeah, it does sound like Dave is tapping that part. That is why it sounds so cool. You can actually hear a part in that which sounds like tapping instead of hammer-ons and pull-offs. Now, I'm not trying to start any other arguments but I think that the hammer-ons and pull-offs in the MLW solo have kind of an EVH (Eddie Van Halen)-like sound to them.
Yea it really does i think that is so cool that he does that stuff or like in Into The Lungs Of Hell and in Washington Is Next he plays with his thumb to get the 12th and 24th fret octave i think that is pretty damn crazy because it is something else that hasnt been done befpre
Yeah man. Those are crazy solos. I also think that Mustaine's second solo in "Hangar 18" is pretty damn insane too. It's the one where he goes 21p17p14h17p14 on the bottom "e" string to start out with. Then, he goes 14h21p17p14h17p14 up the next four strings (starting at the "B" string). And then he goes 14h21p14h17h21 down all six strings. I simply just can't do that stretch when I get to the high strings.
Yea that one is killer man i like all of them on that song and Marty is cool on that song not there best solos by any means just really cool and i love daves solos in amerikhastan
Doesn't Dave tap in "Amerikhastan"? I don't know since I haven't seen any good guitar tabs for that song solo wise. I think that he taps but I'm not sure. That solo is very cool.
The solo definitely sounds like tapping. However, I've seen Dave do some solos that could've easily been tapped. Mustaine's second solo on "Hangar 18" is a perfect example of that. He could've easily tapped the 21st fret while hammering-on and pulling-off from the 14th to the 17th fret but instead, he hammers-on and pulls-off from the 14th to the 21st fret. I was surprised when I saw that Dave did hammer-ons and pull-offs in that solo. At first, I thought he tapped it.
Well i have known how to play that solo for awhile now so i forgot how suprised i was but yea another good example of that is into the lungs of hell and washington is next
Yeah. Mustaine's first solo on "Washington Is Next" sounds like tapping but it's really just pull-offs. Now, are you talking about Dave's solo on "Into The Lungs of Hell" before the tapping part? Dave does a little cool solo when the song gets going and then it's tapping the rest of the way.
Also, Megadeth's guitarist write their OWN solos. Dave doesn't tell them what to write. They're actually talented enough to write their own material unlike that other shitty guitarist that can't get away from his wah pedal. If you want to talk about talentless, I've heard from quite a few people that JAMES writes Kirk's solos. You know what, I wouldn't be surprised a single bit if that were true. Kirk has NO talent whatsoever!
remind me again, how many writing credits do megadeth's lead players have?
You heard from no one that james writes kirk's solos because james doesnt do leads. He has what, ONE lead in their entire catalogue [NEM]
I understand you are a megasheep, to busy sniffing mustaine's underwear and too blind to look objectivelty, but now you're just embarrassingly pulling arguments out of thin air because every point you've attempted to make has been shot down, so you have to come back with something
You don't honestly think that Mustaine has written almost everything for Megadeth, do you? Let me give you one example. There's NO WAY that Mustaine could've written Friedman's solos for "Hangar 18". That's not even Mustaine's style! Or how about Poland's leads in "Good Mourning/Black Friday"? Mustaine couldn't have written those because he is NOT a JAZZ player like Poland. What you're saying is flat-out ridiculous! You're calling me an idiot when you obviously don't know shit about Megadeth!
Uhhh, yes, mustaine has. Check your writing credits in your album booklets. I thought if you were a true fan, you'd know that. It's been a known fact for what..25 years now that mustaine is a dictator and does 95% of the composing for that band, have you not been paying attention? I thought you were a true fan. You're sitting there trying to talk down to me about not knowing anything about megadeth when I just proved that I know more than you. Gotta love the irony.
I KNOW that almost every song in Megadeth's booklets has only Mustaine's name on it in the credits you dumbass! But what about Poland's, Friedman's, Young's, Pitrelli's, and Drover's solos? Mustaine couldn't have written those. Also, what about Ellefson's and Lomenzo's basslines? What about all of the drumming? Mustaine couldn't have written those. Mustaine DOES, write almost all of Megadeth's riffs and does a lot of solos. But does he do NINETY-FIVE PERCENT of Megadeth's stuff??? NO WAY!!!
This is really fun to read, a bunch of people arguing over which band is "the best", when clearly that's something that varies from person to person. I must admit, I'm a huge Megadeth fan, and a pretty big 'tallica fan (actually, all the way up to the Black Album, and a few songs of load), but arguing about something like this is just pointless. I believe both of the bands were equally good back i the day, with tallica having superior recordings. That's it.
because I can get epic lulz from the fact that mustaine is at home, CRYING that he is not in metallica and the only thing he has over them is the alleged resuls of a baseless poll on youtube
kill'em all, ride the lightning and master of puppets was mostly dave mustaine sound, just listen to the first three albums from each band mostly alike because both bands played dave's sound, but metallica did it better and sounded better at that time, then metallica's true sound came out in and justice for all followed by the black album but after that they went downhill and are still going down till this very day... on the other hand megadeth keeps getting better and better!
hole things a joke, anyone who says megadeth is better has personal issues oviosuly gets beat up at shcool or something and feels a need to stand up for the ovious looser, megadeth has some good songs. but metallica anilates them the master of puppets cd beats megadeths hole caree
metallica is better than megadeth metallica is 2nd most known band in the world! and ahead of them is the beetles i think megadeth is somewhere below them not to far im sure.
The thing is the Megadeth could never compeat with the old Metallica. I do agree with this... Some what... only because that Metallica layed out shit albums stright and thats not right. And i will say this as a Metallican if Metallica messes up one more album i'm burning everything i have that has to do with Metallica and moving to a new band eather Megadeth or Disturbed
Megadeth couldnt compete with the old Metallica? Pah! Megadeth owns. They re-defined their genre with their lyrics and music and went through shit that woulda destroyed Metallica. Plus Megadeth never sold out halfway through their career. The only amazing songs Metallica have is Master of Puppets.. and that one that Dave wrote for No Life Till Leather... what is it... oh yea The Mechanix. I believe Metallica re-arranged it into a flaming pile of horse manuer though (The Four Horsemen)
Metallica in the 80s brought life to thrash and Speed Metal. And because Dave became a druggy dosen't mean their better! Megadeth was always in the Shaddow of Metallica until countdown to extinction. And i wasn't even talking about Sold out Metallica moron! Master of Puppets isnt the only good song by them far from it every song has a uniqueness about it. Even Metallica's new stuff is good in away it shows a differnt side. and thiers ALOT of song by Megadeth that SUCK
Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer created Thrash. Megadeth re-defined it. they were the only one of the four to adress world issues. and get one thing straight. Megadeth NEVER was as famous as Metallica. even after Countdown, but that doesnt make Metallica better. Metallica has alotta crappy songs and after '91 cant compare to Megadeth. Megadeth never changed their stlye to fit the buisness. they stayed true to what they love and to what their fans love. except for Risk. although i still like Risk.
Anthrax came after Megadeth and Slayer around the time as Megadeth. And Megadeth "Redefined" it is not fact at all its a saying meaning they had their own way of playing it not really a big deal. And i never said they where more famous i just said they got their own name and stoped obsessing over beating Metallica and got their own name. I agree that Megadeth was batter after the Black album in thash because Metallica droped the genre and tryed something new and Megadeth has crap stuff aswell
Anthrax started in 1981 wtf are you talking about? Megadeth re-defined it because they took Thrash to a new level (something that is better described by their music then by my words) and Megadeth did not obsess over beating Metallica, Dave Mustaine did. and Megadeth ALWAYS had their own name. and saying Megadeth has "crap stuff" is opinion just like me saying Metallica has "crappy songs" but its fact that after '91 Metallica produced sold-out shit.
HELL YEAH! MEGADETH FOR EVER!

"megadeth only reason to famous was friedman"
Negative. Dave wrote allmost everything in Rust in Peace, Countdown to exctiontion and Cryptic Writings, Risk was influenced by Marty who wanted to changed the direction of the album to something more "radiophonic"
Result: Fail

filthc Megadeth plays different genres, but they are typically more subtle in their approach. The 'Risk' album alone proves you are wrong. Also Megadeth was 'famous' before Marty Friedman joined the band, so your point is invalid. You don't know Dave so you can't truthfully say that he "only cares about himself". You are also wrong about Megadeth videos (makes me wondering if you've even seen one). Sounds like you've been drinking too much Metallica fanboy Kool-Aid!

gco33 3 years ago 5
I see your point and in some way i agree. But when arguing who is better out of these two bands, I feel the only thing that seperates the two is metallicas success, which Dave has tried to acheive that level of success, he has admitted it himself saying he originally wanted to surpass Metallica. I like Metallicas "sell out" stuff but prefer the older stuff. (Except for St Anger: lets prey megadeth don't fall to a similar low!)

thanks for a decent grown up response u don't get that much on youtube. I look at it from a musicians point of view (I've played drums for 20yrs) and anybody who knows guitars knows mustaine is way better than hetfeild and hammet also when marty freidmann was in megadeth what a guitar combo!I say put in megadeth's rust in peace album then put in metallica's and justice for all. they were released around the same time and it seemed like almost a duel. if you ask me megadeth won hands down!
gco33 3 years ago 3
I also agree with you about Dave mustaines playing. I also play drums myself but I prefer the writing style of metallica, also i was introduced to them before i heard megadeth so maybe that has something to do with it. But megadeth definately outshined metallica in the mid 90s right up until now. I think death magnetic is ok, megadeth are recording now as well.
I like to think both bands are better off with Dave in Megadeth and metallica as metallica.

I know what you mean. I love the first four Metallica albums and the black album was a solid 'hard rock' release. But for the last 17 years Metallica has released overhyped, subpar, mediocre albums. For all the hype over 'Death Magnetic' you'd think it was the best thing since sliced bread. But I listened to it and found it to be yet another mediocre Metallica release. On the other hand Megadeth is still producing quality metal albums. Can't wait for their next release with Broderick!

jost... what's interesting about your comment is that you didn't dispute that Metallica has released mediocre albums for the past 17 years. Instead you used a diversionary tactic that finds fault with Megadeth. The work Megadeth has done can't compare with the subpar albums Metallica has continued to produce. Yes, 'Risk' was a poor release and even Dave agrees it was a mistake. But don't forget that it was Lars Ulrich who encouraged Dave to change his sound.

No, what I did was point out the hypocrissy in a sheeplike post. You're right, the work megadeth has done in the last 17 years CANT compare with what metallica has done, as bad as st anger is, it IS still at least a metal album and has some decent riffs on it. Risk, on the other hand, is a flat out POP album [I love how dave tried to put the blame for it sucking so much on others when he has always been the creative force in megadeth] Pop and nothing memorable about it
jostopholees 3 years ago
jost... 'Risk' wasn't supposed to be a metal album. It was an experimental release (thus the name 'risk'). Yours is the typical Metallica fanboy double standard... it's ok for Metallica to change their sound, but it's not ok for Megadeth to go in a different direction. Dave took Lars' advice and changed their sound. He gave Dann Huff too much production control. The result was a commercial disaster. Essentially the responsibility does fall on Dave's shoulders.

Megadeth is supposed to be a metal band. If you dont want to do metal, do something like an md45. Megadeth is supposed to=metal, but risk proves they can be a POP band. Is dave mustaine another jonas brother?
Your 'sound' argument is typical of megasheep unable to read. Nowhere did anyone say it wasnt ok for deth to change their sound. Youth is good, cw is ok...I guess. The point is its not necessarily about the sound, but the SONGS, and megadeth definitely faltered more than metallica there.
jostopholees 3 years ago
jost... your persistent picking on Megadeth for releasing a 'pop' album implies that it's not ok for Megadeth to change their sound. You also cling to your double standard by saying that "Megadeth is supposed to=metal". Well, what about Metallica? AJFA was their last true thrash metal release. Also, generally speaking, I think Megadeth have written better songs and have a better sound. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Me picking on 'deth for releasing a pop album does NOT imply it's not ok for them to change their sound. You are embarrassed that you came to that conclusion.
Changing their sound is one thing, jumping completely out of one genre of music [metal and/or hard rock in general] to another [POP] is another.
jostopholees 3 years ago
jost... actually mine was a reasonable conclusion based upon your earlier comments. At any rate, your most recent comment implies that it's ok for an artist to change their sound as long as they stay within a specific genre. Metallica had a country song on their 'Load' album, thus your point is moot. Musicians are not subjected to your narrow-minded rules and are free to change their sound or cross genres whenever they want to.

In reality your conclusion was sheeplike, looking for a retort when there was none.
There are no country songs on load, so your attempt at a point was made in vain.
I'm sorry if your narrowmindedness has forced you into the mentality that you are displaying. Sure they arent subject to not changing their sound, but no one should whine such as you are when said artist is made fun of for releasing embarrassing material such as the humiliating risk [worst album deth or metallica have done]

jost... the song is called "Mama Said". James is even dressed like a cowboy in the video. He played the song with country singer Jessi Colter on CMT's Outlaw Concert... strange thing for someone to do with a song that's not country. Your comments reflect a delusional and hypocritial mind full of double standards. You use diversionary tactics when you're wrong and try to extract emotional responses through mild insults. I've proven you wrong every time, yet you continue to spew forth nonsense.
SCGuitarGuy34 3 years ago
Last time I checked, mama said was a soft rock song. Perhaps you need to take your blinders off? Perhaps they performed that song because james was there to perform a waylon jennings tune that hecovered, and they also played a metallica song that wouldnt ruffle feathers. That doesnt make it a country song. You've been embarrassed and humbled yet again.
The fact you sit there and say your sheepish fantasies have proven anything is all that needs to be shown to know you've been put in your place
jostopholees 3 years ago
jost... what's James doing performing a Waylon Jennings tune on CMT? Didn't he know that according to your rules of music an artist should stay within their own genre? lol I guess he realized that he's not subjected to your narrow minded rules. So James can go on CMT and perform country songs... but Dave can't make an album that has an overall 'pop' feel? Can you say double standard?
SCGuitarGuy34 3 years ago
James went on there, not metallica. You're embarrassed again. There's nothing wrong with an artist expanding their horizons, as long as they do it properly. If metallica had gone on cmt to perform a country song, then your attempt at a point might hold some water. Sorry to shoot you down yet again.

I don't care if Mustaine wishes he was in Metallica. Maybe one day he'll wake up and realize how much BETTER his band is than Metallica.

Also, Megadeth's guitar player's have written solos that Hammett wouldn't be able to write if his life depended on it.

Broderick playing on it is meaningless. They've already had friedman. It doesnt matter who plays lead for them, adolf mustaine is a dictator in that band and tells them what to play.

The ONLY two songs that resemble ANY of Megadeth's earlier songs are "Sleepwalker" (Holy Wars) and "Never Walk Alone...A Call To Arms" ("Vortex").

5. PS, sfsgsw, rip, countdown, youth. kimb isnt good because mustaine pointlessly crammed to many riffs into the songs, causing them to not flow seamlessly. songwriting trumps ability. CW is average. Risk is the worst album either band has released. When I think of megaeth, I think metal, not techno pop. twnah is horrible. tshf and ua are just generic as hell. Anyone who isnt a blind sheep knows this, but since the only word you've posted in any reply here is "baaaaaa baaaaaa", you're an idiot.

"St. Anger" is by far the worst album between Megadeth and Metallica. You can't get more worse than having NO GUITAR SOLOS. I mean, get real dude! "Risk" was a bad album but it HAD GUITAR SOLOS. As far as TWNAH goes, I hated it at first but then, I fell in love with it. It definitely isn't a Megadeth album that I would pop into my CD player every single day, but when I do listen to it, I have a blast.

Risk is by far the worst album between megadeth and metallica. You cant get any worse than a metal band releasign A TECHNO/POP ALBUM. I mean get real dude! St anger was a bad album, but IT WAS A METAL ALBUM FROM A METAL BAND. As far as twnah goes, when dave isnt ripping off diamond head riffs, he's making more TERRIBLE songs. motopsycho...wht was he thinking?

So what! "Disconnect", "1000 Times Goodbye", and "Dread And The Fugitive Mind" are better than any of the shit that Metallica has been doing for the last 17 years.

Yeah they do! And "Return To Hangar"!
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Holy shit i cant believe that i forgot that! damn me to hell.
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
That's okay. Everyone forgets things. Anyway, I think that the "Rude Awakening" version of "Return To Hangar" is better than the studio version. It sounds much clearer. Pitrelli's last solo on RTH is absolutely SICK!
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Yea man i definatly forgot but yea man i love Rude Awakenings version too Al's solo in RTH just kicks ass. I love Dave and Al's solo in Burning Bridges as well. Ya know what i was thinking the other day, you know Al's solo in Dread And The Fugitive Mind?, well i think its kinda like Tornado Of Souls because the rythm is kinda the same and Pitrelli is just killer on the solo but its jsut one of my crazy thoughts lol
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
You know what's funny? I actually like the way Pitrelli does his "Dread And The Fugitive Mind" solo better on "Rude Awakening" than in the studio version. On the studio version of that solo, Al does the final section (the crazy legato section) of the solo on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th frets. On the RA version, he does that part all the way on frets 18-22 (I'm not sure but it's somewhere near there). I just think doing that part of the solo that way sounds better.

Dude even so Vortex has wah and it goes into a shit load of hammer ons and pull offs and never walk alone doesnt they have like a two notes that are the same thing but thats it and as for sleepwalker and holy wars Bad Omen has the 5 hammer on to 7 and 8 pull off 5 thing in it and its not recycled it really is used differently in each one of those songs.
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
Exactly. As long as some notes are used DIFFERENTLY, then it isn't recycled. Also, "Vortex" and NWA...ACTA might sound the same but they're actually completely different. I've looked at the tabs for both songs.
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Yea they definatly are used differently and if anything bad omen should be mentioned before holy wars because the hammer on and pull offs are on the same string and frets in both songs they are just in different order and in sleepwalker they use power chords in between the hammer on and pull offs. so there is the difference in those 3 songs.
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
Part of the hammer-on section in one of "Bad Omen's riffs goes 5h6h7. That alone makes it different from "Sleepwalker" and Holy Wars. HW goes 5h7 and so does "Sleepwalker". Getting back to "Bad Omen", the solos on that song are CRAZY!
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Yea your right i mean its still the same concept though, but yea they are man Chris's opening solo is killer and then dave's solos at the end just are amazing. I love the thing about dave is that on the first couple of albums he actually sweeps. I think that is pretty cool. Like in The Skull Beneath The Skin, Bad Omen, Set The World Afire, and Rattlehead i thought that it was the coolest thing especially for that time period.
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
You're right. Megadeth has always had that edge over their "Big Four" counterparts. Slayer and Anthrax certainly didn't use sweeping in their solos. As for that shitty guitar player from Metallica, I'm not even going to count his "sweeps" sweeps because they're so SHITTY that it's not even funny. Now, I'm not trying to start any other arguments but I just wanted to say that since you brought that sweeping part up.
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
I dont really like Anthrax if anything it should be Exodus in the Big Four instead of Anthrax. Slayers cool they are just not for me. Metallica has always been the 3rd worst of all of them. Kirk definatly sucks and just runs up and down a scale with wah and then he goes down the neck just pulling off really fast or taps its quit sad actually. There was a video of some kid that was 8 playing a metallica song i would love to see an 8 year old try to play megadeth.
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
Kirk Hammett isn't a crazy thrash metal guitarist by any means. His solos are just plain shit. Even when he tries to get crazy, it sounds like utter shit. It just boggles my mind as to why he's put ahead of a god in Dave Mustaine. Dave's solos on "Wake Up Dead", "Bad Omen", "My Last Words", and "Hangar 18" (to name a few) blow Hammett out of the water!
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Yea he definatly sounds like shit. Dave really blew me away on KIMB i mean the Chosen Ones solo is amazing and Looking Down The Cross is really long and awsome and Last Rites Loved To Deth is really really good i think thats his best shredding work on that record.
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
Dave's "Chosen Ones" solo is so underrated. I think that it's one of his best solos even though it never gets mentioned as one of his best. The same thing goes with "Looking Down The Cross" and "Loved To Deth". However, I think that Dave really showed how much better he is than Kirk on the "My Last Words" solo. Kirk could NEVER write a solo as cool sounding as that one if his life depended on it.
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Yea it really is i mean his solos are more structured now but before they were just full on balls dropping shredding but yea my last words is really amazing and it does show how much better kirk is i mean even though the my last words solo isnt slow it shows alot of feeling and emotion.
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
I don't think that the "My Last Words" solo was meant to be slow. It was meant to be insane and damn is it ever insane? The MLW solo has some of the COOLEST hammer-on and pull-off sections that I've ever heard of (sound wise)!
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Oh i know im just saying that he is probably one of the only guys that actaully make a fast solo sound like its very emotional. I actually thought like when i first heard the solo that he was tapping that part but he is actually hammer on and pulling off stuff so like that was a great surprise for me
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
Yeah, it does sound like Dave is tapping that part. That is why it sounds so cool. You can actually hear a part in that which sounds like tapping instead of hammer-ons and pull-offs. Now, I'm not trying to start any other arguments but I think that the hammer-ons and pull-offs in the MLW solo have kind of an EVH (Eddie Van Halen)-like sound to them.
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Yea it really does i think that is so cool that he does that stuff or like in Into The Lungs Of Hell and in Washington Is Next he plays with his thumb to get the 12th and 24th fret octave i think that is pretty damn crazy because it is something else that hasnt been done befpre
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
Yeah man. Those are crazy solos. I also think that Mustaine's second solo in "Hangar 18" is pretty damn insane too. It's the one where he goes 21p17p14h17p14 on the bottom "e" string to start out with. Then, he goes 14h21p17p14h17p14 up the next four strings (starting at the "B" string). And then he goes 14h21p14h17h21 down all six strings. I simply just can't do that stretch when I get to the high strings.
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago 2
Yea that one is killer man i like all of them on that song and Marty is cool on that song not there best solos by any means just really cool and i love daves solos in amerikhastan
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
Doesn't Dave tap in "Amerikhastan"? I don't know since I haven't seen any good guitar tabs for that song solo wise. I think that he taps but I'm not sure. That solo is very cool.
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
See thats the thing i have no good tabs for it either but it might be like one of those things where we think he is tapping but in reality he isnt
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
The solo definitely sounds like tapping. However, I've seen Dave do some solos that could've easily been tapped. Mustaine's second solo on "Hangar 18" is a perfect example of that. He could've easily tapped the 21st fret while hammering-on and pulling-off from the 14th to the 17th fret but instead, he hammers-on and pulls-off from the 14th to the 21st fret. I was surprised when I saw that Dave did hammer-ons and pull-offs in that solo. At first, I thought he tapped it.
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Well i have known how to play that solo for awhile now so i forgot how suprised i was but yea another good example of that is into the lungs of hell and washington is next
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
Yeah. Mustaine's first solo on "Washington Is Next" sounds like tapping but it's really just pull-offs. Now, are you talking about Dave's solo on "Into The Lungs of Hell" before the tapping part? Dave does a little cool solo when the song gets going and then it's tapping the rest of the way.
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Well its like the same concept as washington is next where he frets with his thumb and creates the 12 and 24 fret octave
SevenKeysOfDoom 3 years ago
Also, Megadeth's guitarist write their OWN solos. Dave doesn't tell them what to write. They're actually talented enough to write their own material unlike that other shitty guitarist that can't get away from his wah pedal. If you want to talk about talentless, I've heard from quite a few people that JAMES writes Kirk's solos. You know what, I wouldn't be surprised a single bit if that were true. Kirk has NO talent whatsoever!
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
remind me again, how many writing credits do megadeth's lead players have?
You heard from no one that james writes kirk's solos because james doesnt do leads. He has what, ONE lead in their entire catalogue [NEM]
I understand you are a megasheep, to busy sniffing mustaine's underwear and too blind to look objectivelty, but now you're just embarrassingly pulling arguments out of thin air because every point you've attempted to make has been shot down, so you have to come back with something
jostopholees 3 years ago
You don't honestly think that Mustaine has written almost everything for Megadeth, do you? Let me give you one example. There's NO WAY that Mustaine could've written Friedman's solos for "Hangar 18". That's not even Mustaine's style! Or how about Poland's leads in "Good Mourning/Black Friday"? Mustaine couldn't have written those because he is NOT a JAZZ player like Poland. What you're saying is flat-out ridiculous! You're calling me an idiot when you obviously don't know shit about Megadeth!
HolyWarsOwns 3 years ago
Uhhh, yes, mustaine has. Check your writing credits in your album booklets. I thought if you were a true fan, you'd know that. It's been a known fact for what..25 years now that mustaine is a dictator and does 95% of the composing for that band, have you not been paying attention? I thought you were a true fan. You're sitting there trying to talk down to me about not knowing anything about megadeth when I just proved that I know more than you. Gotta love the irony.
jostopholees 3 years ago
I KNOW that almost every song in Megadeth's booklets has only Mustaine's name on it in the credits you dumbass! But what about Poland's, Friedman's, Young's, Pitrelli's, and Drover's solos? Mustaine couldn't have written those. Also, what about Ellefson's and Lomenzo's basslines? What about all of the drumming? Mustaine couldn't have written those. Mustaine DOES, write almost all of Megadeth's riffs and does a lot of solos. But does he do NINETY-FIVE PERCENT of Megadeth's stuff??? NO WAY!!!

This is really fun to read, a bunch of people arguing over which band is "the best", when clearly that's something that varies from person to person. I must admit, I'm a huge Megadeth fan, and a pretty big 'tallica fan (actually, all the way up to the Black Album, and a few songs of load), but arguing about something like this is just pointless. I believe both of the bands were equally good back i the day, with tallica having superior recordings. That's it.
My two cents.

Megadeth vs metallica: the winner.
The real winner is........ME...
because I can get epic lulz from the fact that mustaine is at home, CRYING that he is not in metallica and the only thing he has over them is the alleged resuls of a baseless poll on youtube

kill'em all, ride the lightning and master of puppets was mostly dave mustaine sound, just listen to the first three albums from each band mostly alike because both bands played dave's sound, but metallica did it better and sounded better at that time, then metallica's true sound came out in and justice for all followed by the black album but after that they went downhill and are still going down till this very day... on the other hand megadeth keeps getting better and better!

The thing is the Megadeth could never compeat with the old Metallica. I do agree with this... Some what... only because that Metallica layed out shit albums stright and thats not right. And i will say this as a Metallican if Metallica messes up one more album i'm burning everything i have that has to do with Metallica and moving to a new band eather Megadeth or Disturbed
MIraster 3 years ago
Megadeth couldnt compete with the old Metallica? Pah! Megadeth owns. They re-defined their genre with their lyrics and music and went through shit that woulda destroyed Metallica. Plus Megadeth never sold out halfway through their career. The only amazing songs Metallica have is Master of Puppets.. and that one that Dave wrote for No Life Till Leather... what is it... oh yea The Mechanix. I believe Metallica re-arranged it into a flaming pile of horse manuer though (The Four Horsemen)
blavaburnulots 3 years ago
Metallica in the 80s brought life to thrash and Speed Metal. And because Dave became a druggy dosen't mean their better! Megadeth was always in the Shaddow of Metallica until countdown to extinction. And i wasn't even talking about Sold out Metallica moron! Master of Puppets isnt the only good song by them far from it every song has a uniqueness about it. Even Metallica's new stuff is good in away it shows a differnt side. and thiers ALOT of song by Megadeth that SUCK

Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer created Thrash. Megadeth re-defined it. they were the only one of the four to adress world issues. and get one thing straight. Megadeth NEVER was as famous as Metallica. even after Countdown, but that doesnt make Metallica better. Metallica has alotta crappy songs and after '91 cant compare to Megadeth. Megadeth never changed their stlye to fit the buisness. they stayed true to what they love and to what their fans love. except for Risk. although i still like Risk.
blavaburnulots 3 years ago
Anthrax came after Megadeth and Slayer around the time as Megadeth. And Megadeth "Redefined" it is not fact at all its a saying meaning they had their own way of playing it not really a big deal. And i never said they where more famous i just said they got their own name and stoped obsessing over beating Metallica and got their own name. I agree that Megadeth was batter after the Black album in thash because Metallica droped the genre and tryed something new and Megadeth has crap stuff aswell
MIraster 3 years ago
Anthrax started in 1981 wtf are you talking about? Megadeth re-defined it because they took Thrash to a new level (something that is better described by their music then by my words) and Megadeth did not obsess over beating Metallica, Dave Mustaine did. and Megadeth ALWAYS had their own name. and saying Megadeth has "crap stuff" is opinion just like me saying Metallica has "crappy songs" but its fact that after '91 Metallica produced sold-out shit.
