Kirk: Unforgiven, Master of Puppets, Through The Never, Fade To Black
Dave: Five Magics, Holy Wars, Wake Up Dead (2nd)
My vote goes to Kirk just because I find his solos more beautiful, and he has more of those that I really like besides then ones I mentioned.
When I talk about my favorite solos, I am usually guided by how well they fit into a song and by melody (speed is not that important).
Talk about your favorite solos, so that there is no milk and water in your posts and so that we know what you are guided by when you pick one guitarist over the other. So I would like to know your opinion about who is better and why, and... vote! But please don't expand this thread to Metallica vs Megadeth battle; it's not what it was meant to be. Solos, just solos.

@Ktulu i remember that Megadeth have a song that i call it Master-Creeping !!! cause dave used both of them at that song, i cant remember the song's name. he sais Master Master... and i heard from a mustain's fan that he was who wrote Master Of Puppets's song. anyway i its a normal thing nowadays.( at least its 15 years that some ppl try to take matallica down, but the couldnt cause they have a lot of fans as u and me  )

As far as I know Mustaine only co-wrote like 6 songs with Metallica. the four horseman, jump in the fire, phantom lord, metal militia, ride the lightning, and the call of ktulu.

that sounds reasonable, but I hate when people say that he wrote some song for Metallica.

Written by [user id=31891] on 01.07.2008 at 17:23 It's not very similar to either Master of Puppet or Creeping Death. The riff that starts at 1:58 very slightly resembles the one of CD, and if I had to listen to that song prior to this conversation I would never think of CD. And the lyrics actually have very little in common with MoP. So... dunno man, dunno. It's not a rip-off for sure.

I have alot of the Megadeth albums remastered, and it tells who plays what solos. The only ones I dont have remastered are peace sells, risk and the world needs a hero, and cryptic writings The only one I want is peace sells..

Written by [user id=32112] on 04.07.2008 at 14:35 I think the most famous example would be No Life 'Til Leather demo or Metal Up Your Ass live. Well, you can see in their discography.

Written by K✞ulu on 04.07.2008 at 16:55 Metal Up Your Ass live is a bootleg, the only other official demo besides No Life Tll Leather is called Power Metal. Metallica have only released two demos. All other so-called demos are either bootlegs of rehearsal tapes or bootlegs of concerts.

Ok, after a small investigation, I have realized that all the solos by Megadeth I enjoy so much are on Rust in Peace record (I haven't listened to anything after Cryptic Writings, but I guess that wouldn't change much) and, what is more important, are played by Marty Friedman, not by Dave Mustaine. So more and more I tend to vote for Kirk, but I will still abstain. And just one more thing. If I had to choose between Marty Friedman and Kirk Hammett, that would be a different situation.

They have incredible styles in their music, but my vote was for Kirk. It's simple. I like both bands, but Metallica is my favorite band ever. End of my post.

Written by [user id=31891] on 27.07.2008 at 16:56 He maybe know Megadeth very well, so who knows. The only thing I know is that I don't really know their music very well... just Rust in Peace (at least as far as the solos)

mmm im of the opinion that dave mustaine is better in terms of technical skill but more people will recall kirk hammett simply because he was with metallica. i like daves solos better because they stick out more to me because they sound harder. not to say that kirk cant shred, Dyers Eve can prove he can shred, i just think daves are better written.

okay. so it's not that i think he is better. honesltly dave probably is better. and i havent heard much of megadeths solos, but the ones i have heard have been very good, yet some have sounded scratchy and smashed toghether, and didnt fit in the song. my friend is a huge megadeth fan so he shows me shit all the time. so honestly i think they both kickass even though i dont listen to megadeth. but i know kirks solos are clean and the layout of them have meaning. like in the song ...and justice for all, he slows down and then speeds up slowly, then slows down slowly repeatedly, representing our government raping us of our justice and money and slowing our life down and trying to hold us back. i really hope that made sense. i think it did. and the solo for One, we've all heard it. its almost impossible so im going to go with kirk because metallica is my favorite band. but dont get me wrong, dave is a hell of a uitar player.

Written by freddie420666 on 01.08.2008 at 20:45 man, if you don't know any solos by Dave Mustaine, just don't post. Not all Megadeth solos are by Dave Mustaine. Man, just read the rules of posting for Metal Arena.
