fuck metallica man, megadeth is the best

[Jhon Smith]

lol how did metallic win round 1 they haven't made a good album since 1991

[MrFond3ll]

And the last 6 albums of Megadeth being better than anything Metallica has done in 20+(!) years. At least Megadeth has been consistent with their sound. Metallica started off great and went rolling down hill in the 90's when Megadeth started getting extremely good. Megadeth's "Endgame" is better than any album Metallica has put out since Black Album.

Megadeth released six albums since 2001 that stayed true to the Megadeth sound with Endgame being better than anything Metallica has put out since '91. Metallica hasn't stayed true to the Metallica sound in 20+ years. I say Megadeth wins category 1 hands down. In my opinion Metallica hasn't written one really good song since Black Album.

But Korn, Machine Head, and Trivium aren't really as great as most other metal bands.

but their first five albums are better than every megadeth albums

What kind of category is controversy?

[shaun mcgowan]

Round 1= Megadeth (Metallica sold out)

Round 2= Metallica for consistent members, but if judging by different sounds given by different members then Megadeth wins.

Round 3= Megadeth again Metallica sold out

Round 4= Don't know since they are both nutty as shit but I would say Megadeth wins.

Round 5= Hard to judge since Mustaine wrote some songs for Metallica when he was part of them which they later used.

Overall a draw and this is coming from a Metallica and Megadeth fan.
