| Megadeth, no doubt about that. never really cared about Metallica that much. when i heard Megadeth for the first time i was sold,. they are in my top 3 thrash bands ever since. |
| M.P.D.S./F.O.A.D. |
| I have to agree with you, Metallica are more lively indeed. I prefer Metallica but I must say that I don't like so much their new work, I prefer the oldest albums, they seem more original to me and when I listen to them I can immediately recognize that I am listening to Metallica, even without knowing the song. I am not saying that their newest songs are bad, I just don't like them so much. I guess it depends on each person's taste. I like Megadeth too, I think Dave Mustaine's voice is incredible.. You do know how to play Holy Wars? That's awesome, is it difficult to learn? |
| I've always prefered Megadeth, especially when Marty Friedman was around. |
| Metallica, hetfield sings better and they have a more clean sound. |

LashLethal said: Yea, I only like Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, AJFA, Metallica, Death Magnetic and Beyond Magnetic. Metallica songs are quite easy to learn once you get your alternate picking down. It's just a case of learning and getting new to new riffs. Holy Wars took me ages to learn especially the intro. Can you play? Yeah, the intro seems troublesome, congrats! :D No, unfortunately I can't. I am playing piano for quite some years and I really like it. Guitar is awesome though, I would really like to learn the basics in order to play some songs. Holy Wars is one of my favorite songs by Megadeth and I am sure that if I played guitar I would love to play it. Since you say that it took you ages, didn't you get tired of trying to play it? I mean, when I want to learn something difficult in the piano, I get tired after trying for some time, and the song loses each appeal.. |
| Lol this "fan wars" will last forever when it comes to this 2 bands :D . Both great bands, did alot on thrash scene but ill go for Metallica. |
| Your story was bad. It was terrible, in fact. It was like that lame twilight bullshit. I have no patience for that crap. It’s not writing, it’s like bound toilet paper. |
| I pretty much prefer Megadeth over Metallica in almost every category: albums, songs, line-ups and live performances. The only album Metallica has over Megadeth's is Kill 'Em All vs Killing is My Business. A lot of songs off Killing felt like filler songs whereas Kill 'Em All didn't have a single weak track. My favorite songs off that album were also written by Dave Mustaine (The Four Horsemen and Phantom Lord.) As someone mentioned above, the biggest reason why Megadeth stood out over Metallica was their guitarist, Marty Friedman. He brought in an unique sound to Megadeth and made them an exceptional bands. Just liisten to his solos off of Rust in Peace through Youthanasia. Oh and S&M is a friggin cool album, something Dave Mustaine couldn't quite replicate during his performance with the San Diego Orchestra. |

Marty is way better. I think Hetfield is the better song writer. Mmm ...And Justice for All. Halls of justice painted green, money talking. Mmmm Hanger18. The chords positions for the intro are annoying. My issue with Kirk actually has nothing to do with his overuse of the wah wah pedal, many guitarists has their own style or signature sound and that's just Kirk's. My problem with Kirk is that some of his solos lack originality and sound similar to his other ones. Granted he does have great memorable solos, Fade to Black, One, Orion, Ride the Lightning, The Unforgiven, and my all time favorite, Bleeding Me (perfect example of how great the wah wah effect is) just to name a few. |
| Metallica has far more dynamic compositions, and some genuinely cathartic moments in their music. Megadeth had faster shredding (after hiring the guys from Cacophony). Take a guess. |
| I enjoy both bands and own almost all their albums ( I wont touch Reload and St Anger with a 10 foot pole) I lean slightly towards Metallica though. Their early albums were amazing and Hetfield has a great voice |

Reload had many cool tracks, even though they're not thrashy like their previous material, still great stuff. St. Anger could have been a great album if some of the songs were shortened and if Lars didn't use that god awful snare. |
| Marty Friedman era Megadeth was pristine, but basically everything Metallica relreased up to and including 'And Justice for All' is gold in my books. There are even a couple of good tracks after that (Black Album is pretty alright) but their time is pretty much over. I've seen Metallica play twice and Megadeth once, Metallica were the better live act but only just. I think I must have caught Megadeth on a good day though because apparently they are a little inconsistent live. Anyway, I'd pick Metallica if I had to pick one. But they're both pretty great. |

Personally I like Load/Reload over the Black Album, it's got a wider variety of songs and some of Jame's best singing. |

IntervisioN said: You know how I am about thrash, though. SrsbidnessNTAD said: This old feud... Dare I even bother to weigh in? It's all just a friendly debate! Well I for one was always grateful that Mustaine got kicked out of Metallica. I got two great bands out of the deal. Thankfully, Mustaine didn't sell out as quickly as they did, but his hunt for a radio hit is taking it's toll on him. While Metallica was touring on that trash, St. Anger, he still had 3 fantastic albums up his sleeve with System, UA and Endgame. Thirteen was so-so, but Supercollider was just a disappointment for me. Too Risky. I could take some songs from both albums, mix them together and get a better sounding album than both of them separately. Overall though, they're both great bands that I enjoyed growing up with. Even though I think, just like many others, that the Metallicats started to suck it up after the black album, the catchy riffs and lyrics can't be denied. I bought Load, didn't burn it like thousands of others did...and I like a handful of songs off Reload (which was originally planned to be part of Load but they decided to split it into two albums for anyone who didn't know) Like Devil's Dance, Fuel and Memory Remains. And I think S&M was one of the best fucking collaborations ever done. I personally believe that is Metallica's best live performance ever. Their songs only got more powerful with Kamen directing SFS. I remember VH1 had it listed as one of their "Top 10 Most Un-Metal Moments"...I whole-heartedly gave my TV screen the finger that day. I could go on and on and on. Thrash4lyfe |

LashLethal said: I know how you feel! I have so many songs that I have started to learn but haven't finished. I do like a challange though. I can barely play Holy Wars all together but I practiced while doing other things like watching the TV. I guess it comes down to what you already know. Battery is pretty hard you know because of the tempo. They play it so fast. It's harder than Raining Blood in my opinion. What pianists do you follow? Battery and Raining Blood both seem extremely challenging to me. I don't have guitar knowledge, so I can't really say which one seems more difficult to me. People like you who play guitar surely can judge better. During the lessons, recently I practice mostly Chopin and Mozart. When I want to play something else, I usually try to play ost from anime or movies that I really like. Currently I am practicing ''Lilium'' from Elfen Lied and ''Sadness and Sorrow'' from Naruto. I also like pieces from Yiruma (famous composer and pianist from South Korea). I am practicing ''River flows in you'', which is challenging for me. It seems like you really enjoy playing guitar, you should keep it up :) |
Charles-Ingalls said: Personally as a kid I never liked Megadeth, only Metallica. Until in 2004 I heard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNeShpGaafc and the guitar solo in it sold me.

His vocal surgery completely butchered his voice, just look up any live performances of Megadeth from 2010-2012 and you'll know what I mean, he sounds like Donald Duck. They play in D tuning now so Dave's vocals can match the songs but you can still hear him struggling to hit those high notes. |

| Mustaine honestly, with all he's gone through, it's a feat that he's still able to play as well as he does. Vocals aside, after that thing that happened to his arm, he's lucky he can still perform at all. I think they said if he had left his arm hanging over that chair much longer, he may have lost it. |
| Metallica sucks and Megadeth is OK. Honestly Kreator owns both their asses. Even at their weakest Kreator never made an album as god forsaken shitty as St anger and Lulu. |

DragonQuest3 said: Metallica sucks and Megadeth is OK. Honestly Kreator owns both their asses. Even at their weakest Kreator never made an album as god forsaken shitty as St anger and Lulu. Lulu isn't really a Metallica album, but more a Lou Reed one where Metallica is simply his support band. The band itself doesn't list it as part of their own discography, either, but as collaboration. As for St. Anger, I personally like it, though it has a few issues (for one, some of the songs are too long and repetitive; second, no solos; third, Lars drumming on what sounds like trash cans). Still, for an album heralding their return to thrash, I think it's decent, especially given the history behind it. Admittedly, I'm more a fan of the Teutonic thrash bands myself (especially Sodom), but I can appreciate both Metallica and Megadeth as well, so I don't really care all that much about the fanbases arguing back and forth over who's better. |

Sodom is my all time favorite thrash band anyway, also the first one i listened too. there is this gig later this year where Sodom opens for Kreator. and its confusing to me, allways thought Sodom where more populair. honestly only listen to Kreator for little over a year (did hear of them before that, but not that much to be honest), and Sodom for about 4 years now i think. |

Ooooh yes. AJFA is poetry. No I'm not being a hipster. I like Megadeth and some of the other bands materials but overall none of them were that consistent or interesting. AJFA is boring as hell I have to quit every time I'm assaulted by that shitty chorus on shortest straw :/ Don't get pissed because someone doesn't kiss your favorite bands asses :D |
