Metallica or Megadeth (fan, sex pistols, member, guitarist, cover)

I'll have to go along with Metallica since I've heard more of their songs and I've liked them longer.

Yeah really, quit being a drunken lush.

I say Metallica becuase they have some rockin songs.

Merkaba · 09-16-2005, 07:53 PM

I will say neither, i would want Metallica and Megadeath to draw at both equally bad levels. Metallica cry publicly too much to get my vote and Megadeth just cry.

MEGADETH

I like some Metallica, but Megadeth is just better.

I like both bands a lot, and both bands have drastically declined in quality with the new stuff, but I must say The System has Failed blows away anything Metallica did in the 90's, and while both bands had a couple of good albums since the 90's, TSHF is the only GREAT one. But still because of the first 4 albums, I have to say Metallica.

Huge enough of a fan to not even know how to spell their name?

Sorry, I had to add that...lol!!!

Getting back to the question though, I'd have to say that Metallica was the easier band for people to like from the start, while Megadeth was more of the acquired taste, ya hear?Lookin' back now...and since St. Anger was released...I'd have to say without a doubt that that acquired taste (Megadeth) is clearly the better one!!!

Most likely in my order of greatness (for both bands):

1.Rust In Peace. - ...And Justice For All.
2.Youthanasia. - Master Of Puppets.
3.Countdown To Extinction. - Black.
4.Cryptic Writings. - Kill 'Em All.
5.The System Has Failed & Hidden Treasures. - Load & Reload.

So, Rust In Peace and ...And Justice For All are #1 I.M.O., which makes it hard for me to pick one over the other for being better, therefore they cancel each other out.Youthanasia compared to Master Of Puppets is another hard one, but as an album going all the way through, time and time again, I'd probally put Youthanasia only slightly over Master Of Puppets.They are both still as great as the other though.Comparing Countdown To Extinction to the Black album is another hard one, proving that both of these bands...atleast in their earlier years...were pretty much just as great as each other.I'd put Countdown on top though, mainly for the reason that it's not as repetitive to listen to and that it deserves credit for being one of the best metal albums ever.Black album might win in Karaoke though, but that's not my cup of tea...lol!!!

The 4th and 5th albums are also close in greatness, but the top 3 already mentioned lead me to believe that Megadeth was truly the better band.On top of that, Dave stayed true to his style and has always been a "class act" to the metal generation.

...MEGADETH WINS!!!

Well I'm a massive fan of both of these bands but you know what really pisses me off about this thread? The amount of people saying that "Megadeath wins" I mean if you're gunna say anything like that at least spell the bands ****ing name right! "Megadeth" just so you n00bs know now heres my say.

I personally think that Dave Mustaine is a better guitarist than Kirk, BUT, when it comes too vocals I love them both, but I would say James wins. Now as for this selling out business I don't know why people get so worked up about it. "Wow MTV offered to advertise our music even more, maybe we can get even more money so we can maybe produce and even better album!" Ever thought thats why bands do it? Just my opinion but hey whats it matter I'm a n00b!

In conclusion they're both great bands with they're ups and downs and good and bad eras so obviously I can't choose

Megadeth are my favourite band, so I choose them.

I'm also a big Tallica fan though- but after AJFA they started to suck. Kill Em All is my favourite Metallica album- I don't know why it seems to be so unpopular.
