Megadeth and Metallica have been trying to out do eachother for years. Dave Mustaine was an Ex-Metallica guitarist, and made Megadeth to show that he doesn't need metallica. Metallica the more popular of the two, cut thier hair, and sold out, touring with bands like Linkin Park, Limp Bizcuit. Meanwhile, Megadeth's still going strong. Who's better? Would you rather go to see live?

In my opinion Megadeth is the better of the two. Metallica is a bunch of fatheads who have sucked balls since Ride The Lightning. Megadeth still sounds great, and has the Gigantour going, while Metallica is busy filming their next documentary about, whiney disagreements, and how the band is falling apart.

@both Hamird & Black_God, my avatar is the album cover of Mercyl Fate - Mercyful Fate debut e.p and it is has topless nun on a cross surrounded by evil monks.
The cover refers to the song "Nuns Have No Fun where there is a lyric part that goes "upon a cross a nun will be hanged and she will be raped by evil men."

Yeah, awesome cover and album. -500 metal points to above people who didn't recognize it.

first of all we dont have original here! even we cant see them when dont have them! second im not old enough to know all album covers about 80's and before it. third i dont need to know about any band! and all album covers.
but in the end, im agree that i have -500 metal points.

@marcel, so! i was wrong about u as u were wrong about me!

i have to confess i didn't recognize it either but lets say it was because i had configured my Explorer not to show Images for a faster page-load so i didn't even see Marcel's Avator, good excuse, isn't it?
that -500 points worked, i looked for the album and finally found it so i have to thank you for it.

@THE_BLACK_GOD:

Dave Mustaine was not kicked out because he had a drug problem...Dave Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica simply because he partied more than James and Lars...the band was on their way from LA to NY and Mustaine got too drunk and crazy and then when Mustaine finally came to, Lars and James gave him a ticket to send him back to California...Mustaine was not a follower of Metallica...he venged to create a whole new different kickass sound to blow Metallica out of the water and he suceeded...Kirk could just keep it together better than Mustaine and has a cooler head but to say that Mustaine got kicked out of Metallica for drug purposes is just plain ignorance on your part...as far as I'm concerned, the music of Megadeth keeps me more interested and more entertained than the music of Metallica...Mustaine has a lot more energy and I think that he cares more about the integrity about the music than any member of Metallica...and didn't James suffer from a herion addiction too? Oh yeah, that's right...good ol' James suffered from an addiction during the time where Mustaine was clean as a whistle and performing at his best when Metallica was nowhere to be seen...

It just goes to show you that Megedeth is the better band over Metallica, Mr. Judas Kiss...

Yeah they were all pretty messed up (aside from Kirk, from what I heard is a really clean guy, not sure if he ever indulged in that). This argument reminds me of when I was little kid (before I even looked into metal) one of my older cousins was into Megadeth, and he always used to tell me Metallica threw out Mustaine because "He rocked out too hard and they got jealous"

Dave was Metallica's Everything, metallica is was and will be somthin like shit when u compare it with megadeth. Dave is god Of Thrash metal. and metallica(CLIFF LEE BURTON,JAYMZ HETFIELD & LARS) were jelous of Dave at those times. they couldnt take that he is the best at a lot of Concerts!! they couldnt take that he had more fans at 1982. and the most important thing, he played solo's better than jaymz, lars and cliff. im agree with u.

I have to say that its a hard choice, but metallica gets my vote,
and yes maybe dave wrote some stuff on ride the lightning as well, but when i listen to his version of the four horsemen, the mechanix, i justcant stand it... at least his execution of ideas doesnt do it for me...

Actually the four horseman is Metallica's version of the mechanix. The four horseman had an added solo and altered lyrics after Dave was fired. The original is the mechanix

i just think that metallica is just better overall. James's voice is just basically "fuck you" while dave's is kinda boring... also metallica's lyrics compared to megadeth's lyrics? c'mon you can't compare. Metallica are also really diverse with their riffs. some of them are simple, some fairly easy, and others uber hard. theyre riffs have to be the best to play on guitar. i like megadeth, but i gotta give it up for the kings of thrash,metallica.

Hetfield's voice is "fuck you"? I call it more accessible
whereas Mustaine's voice, although technically not better,
has a character about it. I'd hardly call it boring.
Also,
I can't compare Megadeth and Metallica's lyrics?
Well, I think I can, and Megadeth is better.
How about Holy Wars vs. Battery.
I'd say that Megadeth easily wins that one.
I'll allow you to take some time and look through
more lyrics and compare them, because I have a feeling
you honestly don't know many, if any Megadeth lyrics at all.
Same with the guitar riffs.
You're going to say that Megadeth isn't diverse?
Once again, I'm going to give you some time to actually
listen to some Megadeth songs and get back to me on this
instead of just vaguely saying that Megadeth can't compare.

Wow. so is this the first poll to reach the 500 posts mark?

And as far as wake up dead lyrics, they are kinda lame, but he just tells sort of a story; the music is awesome though.

EDIT. yeah, right. I also wonder if the guy knows what the lyrics are about...

I can't tell, both are great, but Metallica got me into metal, I really like Megadeth, Mustaine seems to have still 20 or 30 years in stage (hey, he still have his trademark long blond hair!). My vote was for Metallica but, IMO both have their places in my little world (along with Slayer of course!).

By the way: ST. Anger VS Risk (even if your answer is quite obvious).

Both are very good and both have achieved a lot in their careers. But to ask which one is better- the answer that will never be answered.
This is of course only my personal opinion but i think a lot of people agree with me.
1. Guitar solos - definitely Megadeth (Mustain & Friedman know a lot more about guitar then Hetfield & Hammet).
2. Vocals - this one goes to Metallica (Hetfield is much talented vocalist then Mustaine).
3. Rhythm guitar- this is very hard to say, but overall Metallica is better.
4. Best album- Megadeth "Rust in Peace" hands down.
5. Which do you listen more (honestly)- I would have to say Metallica.

So i listen to Metallica a little bit more.

For a person who learns/ plays guitar Megadeth is much more interesting. Megadeth is way more powerful and a lot harder then Metallica ever will. Metallica on the other hand is more melodic and concentrates more on the lyrics.
For a person who knows nothing about the meaning of metal and rock n' roll Metallica is their choice. But when they evolve a little they begin to appreciate Megadeth as well if not even more.
I think both bands are great but as a guitarist i respect Megadeth a lot more then Metallica.
