I like megadeth but Mustaine is just copying them.
Listen to Four Horsemen on the Kill em all album and then listen to Mechanix by Megadeth on Killing is my bussiness, Metallica stole that song from him.
Any ways, diamond head rules, am i evil!, its electric, the prince, all good song.
@coleeo23 Mustaine used to be in Metallica... surely you knew that?
He wrote Mechanix while he was with Metallica, there's even early recordings with Hetfield singing it...
When Mustaine got fired, they kept the material but made it longer and changed the lyrics, I think Dave even gets writing credits on Kill 'em all. But he wanted to prove to everyone that he was better, so he sped up his original version.
Also, hangar 18 sounds a lot like the Call of Ktulu...
@thebig4ofthrashmetal obviously you are the rehab, oh!, i mean retard. Mustaine didnt write the 4 horsemen, Metallica did, they changed it from the version that mustaine DID write, mechanix.
@coleeo23 no meustaine wrote the mechanix when he was with metallica then james gayfield and lars oilrig changed the lyrics so they wouldnt have to pay royalties and mustaine wrote ALL of jump in the fire , metal militia ,and other songs that they didnt give him writing credit
@thebig4ofthrashmetal It had nothing to do with royalties, Megadeth released their first album with Mechanix on it before Metallica released theirs, so they had to change it. Mustaine got credited on about half the album's songs... Anything that was written while he was there that he's not credited for he didn't write at all (apparently). Metallica wrote the lyrics, and the whole bridge riffs and solo bit, Mustaine wrote the opening riff and chorus, so everyone got credited on the album.
@leerobbo92 listen the first song mustaine wrote was jump in the fire when he was 15 he wrote ALL of it and the writing credits on the record say : hetfield , ulrich , mustaine you obviously don't know anything about how ulrich and hetfield screwed dave mustaine over
@thebig4ofthrashmetal I'm not disputing that he wrote the song when he was 15 or whatever, but do you really think he wrote the drum beat for it, and the bass in it? He might've wrote the main riffs and the vocals, maybe even the second guitar, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't play drums for a start, or bass... So who couldv'e wrote them? Hetfield plays a bit of bass, and did the bass on a few tracks until they got Cliff in, and Ulrich obviously does drums... See where I'm going here?
@leerobbo92 okay i see your point but before cliff it was ron mc govney that played bass not james ron was james' room mate and quit because dave was constantly fighting with him
@thebig4ofthrashmetal Yeah that's a good point actually... I don't know then, maybe James changed the lyrics a bit or something, which is closer to stealing than I thought it was then...
I always thought it was Ellefson doing the vocals. Sounds pretty good. As mentioned below, much better than Metallicas version. Megadeth is good at covering songs imho.

See this is the singer actually singing it so that's not fair as a cover, metallica's is more original and has the feel of metallica, metallica > covers than megadeth.
they weren't going for an official cover. it was just a show and the main purpose was to showcase sean harris who hadn't sung on stage in 6 years at the time.
though dave mustaine isnt singing in this i still like this more than metallica's verson of it , although metallica is a excellent band , megadeth is just much more good to my ears , that's my personal take on this , people may think my answer is f***'ed up but i dont care :)
@codeman99ways it's ok for me that you like more this than the other version. But what's the problem? No one can say which one is better cause it depends our-selves if we like it or not. If you know and understand the concept of "music", then the concept of "beauty". Its relative. It depends on you if you like it, or if you just shit on it :p I think both bands are awesome and i don't give a fuck what happen within'em.
I'm a Metallica fan. Never say "this band is shitter than this one".
metallica version its much better than this

@coleeo23 sorry, I actually don't remember sounding so snobby, so apologies there...
I do know that, it's the copy they handed out to fans in the early days, half of Kill 'Em All's on there...
I suppose it just sounded like it was something you'd noticed, more than that you knew why they sounded alike...

both bands did this song justice! im a massive fan of them both (the other band being metallica)
