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.

clearly, metallica has died. Black Album was the line. they've crossed it, and are no more. Megadeth is still metal!! Still... i voted metallica because the hits they've had, i love much more. Taking Megadeth's album "Rust In Peace" and comparing it to say, "Ride the Lightning", I'd choose Metallica in a heartbeat. "And Justice for All" was another reason. I won't compare "Kill 'em All" because Mustaine WAS that album. That's Metallica's best.

that is kinda funny because if I were to compare "Rust in Peace" to "Ride the lightning" I would choose "Rust in Peace" because while I love both albums, the instrumentation in "Rust in Peace" is far more to my liking and the lyrics, are far more intelligent and politically based

well, I would choose peace sells over anything BUT Ride the lightning because quite frankly, Ride the lightning is my favorite metallica album, and rust in peace is my favorite megadeth album, so it was plotting the two albums that I like best by those two bands, and Megadeth is my favorite thrash band. But pretty much any other album Metalica has done is Pwned by peace sells and well....pretty much any of megadeth's first five albums.

Its quite obvious that Metallica's current albums really suck but for me Metallica died after their earlier era. I definitely prefer Metallica's old stuff to Megadeath. Metallica's earlier albums are just too good and was the reason that I voted for them.

why is better megadeth??
1. Mustaine more than Hetfield ( guitar skills) point to Megadeth
2. all drummers of Megadeth more than Ulrich point to megadeth
3. bass guitar players are equilibrated Ellefson = Trujillo=Burton..more Trujillo point to metallica
4. Friedman MUCH MUCH MORE than Hammett Friedman with more time will be one of most talent guitar player of history. Hammett is pentatonic fucking player. point to megadeth
5. voice better Hetfield point to Metallica.
6. better of metallica was composed by Mustaine...Orion, Four Horsemen and may of better songs of Metallica was writed by Mustaine...
point to Megadteh
Better Megadeth


You are fuckin' right man... I think MEGADETH is better than metallica,too.Hetfield is as good as Mustaine(singer)but Mustaine is better guitar player I also think that MEGADETH have better drumers and guitar players...so I vote for MEGADETH!

I'm not going to analyze this but Megadeth just never grabbed me, don't know why. Sure, Metallica sucks now, but I have always loved everything up to and including the black album. They were one of the early bands that got me into metal. It's unfortunate what they have become, but that doesn't detract from the great albums they released in the past!

Everybody has a different point of view, so it is too difficult to say which band is better. My vote goes to Metallica, although in a past few years they are really sucks but I love them since that 80's period. So Metallica is better band.

p.s. I also like Megadeth

Megadeth easily. I never really liked Metallica too, too much to tell you the truth, but I love Megadeth. Megadeth has more classic albums than Metallica and I like Megadeth lyrics and solos way more.

Has anyone else watched the special features of "Some Kind of Monster" (Metallica's movie) where they did some songs with a bunch of rap guys for a rap/metal album?
Megadeth is a lot better than Metallica musically and I like Mustaine's lyrics a lot better. Plus Rattlehead is awesome!!!

Metallica can't even compare to Megadeth musically. There is a definate difference in the attention to little things in Megadeth, and really anything Dave Mustaine writes.

In Megadeth, yes you have amazing solo work, but pay attention to the little things, the ways Megadeth will end a verse or how they structure their chords.

Take Leper Messiah, that song was supposedly written by Dave Mustaine, and you can tell it was. The breakdowns in the intro and the instrumental section in the middle of the song are just too advanced for Metallica. The way the instrumental harmony changes rythmn, and other things like off beat changes are just to plain advanced for Metallica to write. Compare what you hear on Leper Messiah to Battery or Disposable Heroes and tell me you can't find a different method of writing within early Metallica albums.

In short, Megadeth are quality musicians, Metallica are good businessmen.

I think Megadeth is better because it has more "quality", for example, in the composition of the songs viewed from the guitar and drumms. I met a Profesional drummer and he said to me that Metallica is not too original in this aspect.

Then, what I like more is Megadeth, it's more metal metal... Trash is not my thing xP Anyway, I'll always say that european metal is better than yankee metal... all the life.

"Metallica sucked balls since Ride The Lightning"?

You wot? You fucking wot?

Puppets sucked balls? Justice sucked balls?

I mean, if you didn't like the Black Album, fair enough, but never, ever insult Puppets or Justice.

Megadeth right now are the better band. Untill Metallica releases a killer album it will be Megadeth at the top.

I voted Metallica 'cos of 5 simple reasons:

1. Kill èm all (yes mustaine was in it, but it was still Metallica).
2. Ride the Lightning.
3. Master of Puppets.
4. ..And justice for All.
5. I have more respect for Metallica in the way of what they are and how they do things.
Sure, their late albums sucks, but they've always done what they wanted to, and to be honest, don't you think the chance of Metallica being sell-outs would be as huge if they only did "Master"ish albums?
Ive met more ppl that only like the 4 first albums than the 4 latter ones.

And I loved "SKOM", the DvD is not about "whining", if anyone's whining in that movie, it's ironically Dave Mustaine, still not getting over the fact that Metallica did well without him (awhile), and always saying stuff like "oh metallica hsa always been nr1 but megadeth nr2.".

Boohoo! if I were in Megadeth, I would never say that Metallica was nr1, I would neither have made any attempts on "becoming better" than metallica.
Sure, maybe he didn't try, but he sure as hell makes us believe that with all that whining about it, no offense, I really love Megadeth, but Dave can be as big an "ass" as Lars and James most times.

And if anyone made metallica good, it was Cliff, (R.I.P.).

Well, that's just my personal opinion, feel free to "ditch" it :p

(And I listen to both bands, actually megadeth more at the moment than metallica, but the 4 early metallica albums owns megadeth anytime in my opinion).

My vote goes to Megadeth since they stayed on track and they were always less commercial band - making music for sake of it not for money - money is always there in a game but it seems Megadeth was less affected by it..

I have a few reasons why Megadeth is better.

1. Rust in Peace (which is the best album by far of either band)
2. Countdown to Extinction
3. Youthanasia
4. Cryptic Writings
5. The World Needs a Hero

It wasn't Cliff that made Metallica good, not by a long shot. Cliff never really played the creative role in the band that he should have. It was Mustaine that made Metallica good musically. The songs that Mustaine wrote on Kill 'Em All are on just a completely different level musically, and that goes for other songs on Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets.

You respect the way Metallica operates but not Megadeth. Metallica are business men, Lars stole the name from his friend, and had a record deal lined up before he even formed Metallica. Metallica are businessmen that play music. Megadeth are at least just musicians.

I am basing this response strictly on personal opinion, because alot of people have bad taste, and yes Metallica are more popular. I vote Megadeth all the way. There would be no Metallica without Dave, or they wouldn't be where they were at. Dave owns James big time. Get over it, James can't sing. Dave has come out with intelligent, political based lyrics that actually makes sense and fit into his songs like butter. The riffs in Daves songs are amazing, (I cant even play some of his rythm (and hes singing while playing).). Check out Rust in Peace... Polaris... In my opinion, "Risk" Megadeths worst sellout album, takes out most of Metallicas abums. And thats saying alot. MEGADETH FOREVER, MEGADETHS STILL GOING STRONG, UNITED ABOMINATIONS OWNS! MEGADETH 4 LIFE!

(PS. I registered just to say this.) Go buy some Megadeth albums, listen to real Metal!
