When did Metallica finally pull ahead in this poll?

Holy crap! They were behind by 10 votes like a month ago, right? I think it's somebody cheating...

Its whoever most recently released an album, just watch, as soon as the upcoming Megadeth comes out, Megadeth will be in the lead again.

So it's the newcomers that enjoyed the whichever album voting?

This post was from a few months ago...

Who called it?

What do you mean who called it? But dude, I can't believe it. I have just visited this thread, and I thought, "Dr. Rock was right..."

Who called it as in "I called it". Now we just wait for the next Metallica album to come out for this to switch...

Um, excuse me -

THAT'S FUCKING RIGHT, BITCHES!!! Megadeth finally is in the lead \m/

Sorry about that, but they were down by about 30 votes not too long ago...

But I did notice one thing. In threads like these, people tend to vote for bands right after releasing their new album.

YUP

I called it too

And I think I remember someone disagreeing -_-

When Metallica releases their next shitty album 4 or 5 years from now, they'll probably be in the lead again

Pfft, I remember reading that post, and the bolded part wasn't in it originally, so you edited it. Go to hell Mr.Boner

No actually that wasn't added. AND MY BONER WILL NEVER GO AWAY mkay

lol damn I brought three hot dogs to work but only two ketchup packets -_-

Teh one who wrote "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."
IS A COCKSUCKER!!!!!! Megadeth had like 15 band members while Metallica had only 8.
I LOVE Metallica and MegadetH !!!!!! By my opinion:
80's Metallica,because i loved Theyre albums and how the performed.
90's Megadeth,because of Rust In Peace And CTE .... Metallica didn't sold out,tehy went to hard rock (Load And Reload) ... But what about Risk???It is fuckin POP . It's even shittier than Load Or Reload
00's Both,because they both made awesome albums. And there performing awesomely
Still I am gonn'a go with Metallica.

By the way, I like Megadeths guitars better,but Metallicas voice better. And i love the drums in both bands they sound perfect

Metallica
Megadeth are aweosme though

80's Metallica > 80's Megadeth
90's Metalica < 90's Megadeth
00's Metallica = 00's Megadeth

you sayed just like me about 80's 90's 00's

I can't answer this, not a huge fan of either right now... but in the past, Megadeth

For me, Megadeth.

No matter how hard I try, I can just never really get into Metallica. I do like the odd song by them, but for the most part I really don't care for them. Now Megadeth is a band that was really easy to get into. They aren't my favorite band, but I do like them. Also, IMO Megadeth vocals > Metallica vocals.

Still the Drums aren't just the problem Metallica has simply gone under but if they are live I WILL be there

Megadeth! I think that Megadeth's albums are just more consistent than Metallica's by a big margin...

METALLICA

Ah yes... The ultimate comparison thread. Almost every forum has it's Metallica vs. Megadeth thread

Let's see here

First of, I like listening to both of them and both are really great and influential bands with awesome songs.

Metallica has 4 killer albums, 1 good album and after that it's crap, crap, crap and their last album is average at best. Their songwriting and songs really became subpar, average and monotonous in the 90's... Their concerts became lame in the late 90's to date. James begun to sing like your grandma (no offense to you grandma), Kirk can't come up with a cool thrash riff or solo if it kills him, Lars drums sound like he's banging his head agaisnt a brick wall.

All in all Metallica for me only existed in the 80's and really early 90's...

While Megadeth had been more consistent with their releases, none of thier albums ever reached the greatness of Metallica's first 3 albums (for me that is) but Peace Sells, Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction were amazingly good albums. Others were pretty good as well except Crypting Writings, Endgame isn't that good either.

The only real fails were obviously Risk, The World Needs A New Hero...

I prefer Hetfields early harsh vocals with the (eeeaahh!) ending over Mustaine's whining grunt. But if I look at them today, I would slap the shit out of James with that gayass annoying singing he's got going.

The guitars were really the highlight for both bands. I liked the James/Mustaine combo and James/Kirk combo, but Mustaine/Pitarelli and Mustaine/Friedman were equally good.

It's a tough decision but I went with Metallica. Why? Because in both bands prime it's a no-brainer for me... Metallica. But if we count the later material Megadeth gets the edge.

Metallica of course!

Easiest Poll ever.

Lars = Metal Lord, as well as being greater then anything conceivable.

Therefore Metallica auto wins.

ALL HAIL THE METAL LORD!

Only if the METAL LORD wills it to be so.

All praise be to Lars!

Okay, first off, the OP is a total idiot. Only blind Megadeth/Dave Mustaine fanboys say that Megadeth, unlike Metallica, never sold out. Dave has himself admitted that the mid - late 90's albums were written in order to try and ''get the number one album I'd always wanted". Just because Dave failed to achieve the massive success that Metallica had with Megadeth, does not mean that he did not desire it, or would not compromise his artistic integrity in order to try and achieve that. Because he did exactly that. In fact, I usually loath to use the term ''sold out''. But in Dave Mustaine's case I definitely will use it, because aside from using those exact words himself, he has admitted doing that by things he's said. Gawd, fanboys are so dumb!

As for who do I prefer....its very close, but Im going to have to go with Megadeth. I think they have been a bit more consistent than Metallica. I love both bands, but Megs just edge it for me!

agree 100% with the, uh, move to a more radio-friendly sound to increase commercial viability (nicer way of saying "sell out") comment.

two things happened between "Rust In Peace" and "Countdown" - Dave kicked the drugs and Metallica had a smash hit with the black album. given Megadave's competitive nature and his particular dislike of Metallica, do you think it's any coincidence that after Metallica started getting regular radio play for "Enter Sandman", "Unforgiven", "Nothing Else Matters", and half the rest of the black album, that Megadeth's next release was less complex, far more streamlined, and radio friendly?

never mind the next couple Megadeth albums that followed it.

he made the same stylistic shift that Metallica did, he just didn't do it quite as well or get quite the acclaim - which i guess is why fanbois overlook it.

Megadeth never sold-out as badly as Metallica did and Dave Mustaine is an amazing guitarist, probably much more skilled then James or Kirk.

However, Metallica's songs are just better and more interesting for me to listen to and just generally more enjoyable. So I'm gonna go with Metallica. Both are great though.

Wow, both are awesome bands. but I like Metallica more. For all the people that say Dave Mustaine wrote, like, all their songs, BS. If that was a factor Megadeth would be amazing. But there are a lot of songs by Mgadeth I don't like. I can't think of a single song by Metallica that isn't amazing, and yes I've heard them all.

no. megadeth just didn't sell out as well as metallica did. doesn't mean they didn't try.

Metallica :banger:

First things first: It annoys the crap outta me that Mustaine keeps saying that he's going to call it a day after the next album and then he does the album and goes touring for a year or so and then does EXACTLY the same thing! Also his voice irritates me, so Metallica for me then.

That's just silly. Id actually say Dave Mustaine sold out worse than Metallica. It's actually debateable whether Metallica streamlined their sound deliberately to gain more popularity and get more radio airplay. It is not even up for debate that Dave changed Megadeth's sound to try and acheive those things, as that is exactly why he did them. Just because Metallica acheived mega stardom, and mass popularity, does not mean they sold out more than Megadeth. Megadeth might not have acheieved that stuff, but it wasnt for the want of trying!

@BitterCOld: Nope, I don't think its any coincidence that Megadeth's music became more commercial, and less complex after the Black Album. Dave was obviously jealous of the massive success that Metallica had with the black album, and was trying to outdo them, or at least equal them. I have no doubts that Dave started writing more commercial stuff as a direct result of the black album and its success. So, in my mind at least, Dave sold out more than Metallica, despite them being more popular.

Yeah interesting point. But I don't know if I entirely agree, but then again I probably don't know as much about why/how they did things and why they went the way they went.

Sellout or not, I still enjoy them both, just Metallica a bit more. But hey who knows what my tastes will be in a year or two?

I totally agree. And just because a band changes direction doesn't mean they sold out. you cant do the exact same thing for 20 years and not sound stale

Agree!!

Despite the fact that I love both, I've always preferred Megadeth over Metallica. Metallica has a kick-ass thrash sound, but Megadeth has a unique thrash sound that I just love.
Plus, I love Mustaine's singing.
Both are awesome, though.
