Mustaine may be a complete douche but still it dosen't really matter considering the band's songs are good and they have been consistent with their genre. For the most part. Can't say that about Metallica.

Ugh. That actually is a really hard decision.

I agree with you on the guitar licks, but I find Kirk Hammett to be a much more talented guitarist than Mustaine. And some of the stuff Mustaine writes is a little weird, like he's trying to break conventions without any direction. Also, Megadeth never really had an apocalyptic album like Metallica has had (Ride the Lightning and the Black Album).

It really is a toss up. I say Metallica because Dave Mustaine is a Flyers fan. =p

I prefer Metallica's work after Kill Em All. The Black Album, Master of Puppets, and Ride the Lightning are my favorite albums

Kirk is a more versatile and technical guitarist than Mustaine. But Marty beats them both by a mile

Metallica. They created the path that most heavy bands follow today. Megadeth is good too, but just not as creative in my opinion. People criticize Metallica for changing their sound over the years, but that's what all artists do. In fact, since most credit Megadeth for staying true to form, they would have to come second to Slayer in that regard as well. The last few Megadeth records have been sub-par as well. Go figure. From the short clips I've heard of the new Metallica record, it will bring them back somewhat closer to the original sound, perhaps around '89-'91. Just my two cents.

Metallica Is A Sellout Band! Go Megadeth!

boo boo

I really don't get all The Black Album hate, is it really that big of a deal? They made a more stripped down and simple hard rock record, and it's a good simple hard rock record, who cares if it's not old Metallica? Sure everything after it was bad, but I hate it when people call an album bad based on personal reasons and "what it started" rather than the actual damn music.

AC/DC are criticized for sticking to a formula, everyone else gets harshly criticized for changing it.

Although this feud will never ever end, let me state my opinion.

I love Megadeth, and Metallica does absolutely nothing for me. Period. Has nothing to do with their history or the feud, I just think the two bands are far different. As a musician, I find Megadeths music to be far more complex, intellectual, and use a lot more interesting song structures than Metallica. Rust In Peace for example, my favorite album ever, uses jazz like structures with complicated rhythms and solos that are out of this world. Dave's lyrics are pretty hit or miss, but I find he hits a lot more often than misses. It also really bothers me when people think Dave is an *******, people who havent met him. I've talked to Dave on the phone twice, shot emails back and forth a few times, and hung out with him after a Megadeth show once. He was such a nice guy, he gave me and my friends free Megadeth shirts!!! Also, this little kid...couldnt have been older than 10 went up to him most humbly and just kinda looked out the ground and asked if he could have a Megadeth guitar pick. Dave called over his security guy, whispered in his ear, and the guy came back with a whole handful of guitar picks and gave them to the kid.


I'm getting off topic, point being...I love Megadeth and honestly believe they are THE single greatest metal band of all time.
