No Life 'Til Leather-04-Seek & Destroy

No Life 'til Leather is Metallica's widely circulated demo tape featuring Dave Mustaine on lead guitar. All the tracks are early recordings of songs that would later appear on the band's Kill 'Em All album. The track listing on Kill 'Em All is the same as that on the demo tape, save the addition of Cliff Burton's bass solo "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth", "Whiplash", "No Remorse" and "The Mechanix" ("The Mechanix" was re-written by Metallica as "The Four Horsemen").

The demo has been re-released twice unofficially, first under the title of Metallica—Bay Area Thrashers, and was alleged to be a live bootleg recording of Metallica in the early days, however all 'live' sounds had been added from various sources including the Metallica video Cliff 'Em All. This was soon discovered by Metallica and all copies were removed from stores. The demo was re-released a second time under the title Metallica—In the Beginning... Live, containing no differences from Metallica-Bay Area Thrashers.

Mustaine recorded his own version of "The Mechanix" on Megadeth's debut album Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! The demo, along with two other songs, can be found on many peer-to-peer networks under the moniker One Last Visit.


Track listing:
"Hit the Lights" - 4:19
"The Mechanix" - 4:28
"Motorbreath" - 3:18
"Seek & Destroy" - 4:55
"Metal Militia" - 5:17
"Jump in the Fire" - 3:51
"Phantom Lord" - 3:33

Metallica and Megadeth are different stylistically, but neither is superior to the other. What music is good or bad is simply a matter of personal preference. Saying that Megadeth is better than Metallica is like saying that Pablo Picasso is better than Vincent van Gogh. You like Megadeth more than Metallica simply because of your own bias, not because they are superior. And by the way, Dimebag's opinion is completely irrelevant.

Kirk is Kirk.

Dave is Dave.

And Metallica isn't Megadeth

@netopows and i sure thank god it isn't

[happieroc]

I gotta say, im a pretty huge dime fan, and i think he'd just drink a beer to the both of them. He was asked to join megadeth but declined only because there was not a position for his brother. And He of course always was playin metallica tunes. A real music lover like him would find the best in any style of music. RIP dime, and Keep on thrashin MetaliDeth!

@locker199601 guitar playing wise. dime would be a very good person to ask of who he think's technically has more difficult guitar work. who's better isn't a bad question. what you base good music off of isnt either. it's that the answer is actually different for everyone and if everyone would accept no one is right. it would be alot better for all of us. megadeth in my opinion. way harder to play, but i love both. if i had to pick who are better musicians in my opinion id say megadeth..

@Benny555666 ok, fair point then :)

[Benny555666]
