Megadeth vs Metallica

I prefer old Metallica to old Megadeth.

Both bands are incredible though.

1980s there was no contest for me...
Metallica was rough, fast, exelent lyrics, vocals and themes, and tore live performances limb from limb.
Megadeth was whatever to me... Dave's voice was the thing that pissed me of the most, tho the songs were preaty nice.

1990s
Megadeth & Metallica both a holy-meh to me... Yeah, Black Album wasnt all that bad, but its still not anywhere near the quality of Kill Em All, RTL, MoP and ...AJFA

2000s
Metallica preaty much hit rock bottom with St. Anger... But damn me, Death Magnetic is preaty awsome :D. Definatly tailing the first 4 albums very close in quality, James's voice isnt as good as it was, and you can see that a decade of hard rock (and Bob Rock...) left its mark on them.
Megadeth is preaty much on a roll, with 3 good albums. Again, Dave's voice isnt all that good to me, but they are about equal to me now.

Metallica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn right son...

Face it Chess, German Thrash> Bay Area Thrash.

Overall sure, but Megadeth > German Thrash.

How about neither?

Iron Maiden ftw.

Megadeth is my favortie band so I must vote for them. Unlike most people I like Mustaine's snarling voice, it gives it distiction form other metal/thrash bands. However it is my belief that metallica isnt in the same genre as Meagdeth, or not since pre- black album days. They havent been exactly Thrash Metaly latley.

Megadeth.

The Rust In Peace album beats anything Metallica has to offer.

Peace Sells is also a fantastic album.

I go with Metallica because, quite frankly, they just have better songs. Megadeth is probably much more talented, but the songs (even Holy Wars, Tornado of Souls, Peace Sells, ect) just arent as good as Master of Puppets, One, Fade to Black, etc. Overall, Metallica has better and more songs IMO.

I know this is all personal preferrence, but as a fan of both bands, I go with Metallica.

If we're talking about Metallica up to and including The Black Album then I will go with them, otherwise I'd rather listen to my cousin do frigging Brittney Spears covers than anything Metallica has put out in the last decade or so (with the exception of Death Magnetic, even though the whole "returning to their roots" thing just sounds very forced to me it's still not a horrible album).

Megadeth by far.

Anyone who believes they know a sniff about Thrash Metal should say Megadeth, mainly because Metallica's best work came from either Dave Mustaine directly or in some way ripping off his riffs, if you ask me, the king of thrash is Dave Mustaine.

That being said (my choice was obviously Megadeth) Dave Mustaine is a bit of a baby, but damn he knows how to play.

[QUOTE="Bitter_Altmer"][QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"] Lol nah. Megadeth are beat out by any of the big german thrash bands. :P Bluestorm-Kalas

[QUOTE="Bluestorm-Kalas"]

[QUOTE="Bitter_Altmer"] On pure talent and musical ability, you are absolutely wrong. It doesn't make a difference though... Strapping Young Lad / Devin Townsend kicks the ever loving **** out of anything metal has to offer.Bitter_Altmer

[QUOTE="Bitter_Altmer"][QUOTE="Bluestorm-Kalas"] Destruction = Kreator = Sodom > Megadeth>>>>>Metallica.

Bluestorm-Kalas

[QUOTE="Bluestorm-Kalas"]

[QUOTE="Bitter_Altmer"] What are you saying? I'm not even arguing this. Megadeth peak would outplay any of the teutonic thrash bands. And heck, this is coming from someone who listens to teutonic thrash more than Bay Area. Like I said though, Devin Townsend is the man when it comes to metal.Bitter_Altmer

Better band: Megadeth

My personal favourite: Metallica

I love Meg & Dia! :lol:

MARTY FRIEDMAN IS GOD

I'd take classic Metallica over classic Megadeth every day and Sunday and on Leap Year day.

Is this a joke? I'd say dave & marty play better guitar solo's, but overall metallica wins hands down, also, dave sings like he's constipated.

I'll take Megadeth. Metallica has some classics, but Megadeth has a better overall library.
