I've included two soloists from each band incase some people feel that the solos from other members of the band or former members were of greater stature. My opinion on this is that the two bands were the best of their time in the fact that they both are very inspiring and influential, but the solos from each band couldnt be more different. Slayers solos were more focused on the speed and darker sound of the solos. While Metallica wanted solos that were going to focus more on the whole sound of the piece and would be more towards the styles of classical musicians such as Bach or Mozart. What I mean by that is that Metallica wanted their solos to be understood and heard clearly through and through. Not to say anything bad about Slayer but the fact that Metallicas solos are far more clear just gives me this impression. So, what are your thoughts on this? Who had the best solos, Slayer or Metallica?

I think they're all great guitar players. Okay maybe Dave had the most talent on his instrument, but it's not like Tallica got bad after he left, they only got better and developed more as band. Again, just my opinion, I just don't think Metallica lost their intensity after Dave left. As for the solos, Metallica without a doubt. Slayer's more about the drums and the fast riffs. Loading...

Mustaine also contributed to Ride the Lightning and The Call of Ktulu seeing as he is credited, which if I'm not mistaken makes 11 songs to which he contributed not five. ---- "Seasons don't fear the reaper.
