Post by Megadeth on Mar 12, 2006 16:35:57 GMT
the poll reminded me of something.... megadeth - metallica, but with balls seriously, megadeth are waaaaaaay better than metallica. and if anyone says otherwise, just say this: "megadeth didn't write st anger". it wins everytime. i dont think megadeth sold out like metalica did... they didnt shut napster to blame it on their shitty album sales (when the fact was, the album sucked. plain and simple.) that aside, i think the classic megadeth sound is much better, and more representative of the classic thrash metal, that both bands represent. Discuss: (just to get some controversy going!) ps - i am aware that i am going to be flooded with metallica fans responses here, they are always more abundant than megadeth fans  ) |

Lol I like your "Megadeth didn't write St Anger" argument, but couldn't that also be countered by "Metallica didn't write cyrptic writings"  Every band has sold out, they sign a record contract and they sell out. I'm half and half, I do like Megadeth but for me they haven't been consistant enough, there are some Megadeth songs that I like better than Metallica songs, but for me it will always be Metallica, I got into them before I got into Megadeth. |

For me I love metallica, and I love megadeth - I have always thought Dave Mustaine is better guitarist than Hammett, and i will stick by that...and about metallica being thrash, yes they are, but listen to songs like Call of Ktulu, I would put that in more the prog category...anyway...meh

Megadeth also didn't write Master of Puppets. Unless you believe Mustaine, of course...
Besides, Metallica are a band, albeit a dysfunctional one. "Megadeth" are one egomaniac and his groupies. He may be a better guitarist than Hammet, but a better vocalist than Hetfield? I don't think so...
But at least Megadeth didn't sell out (much. Or, as has wisely been pointed out, write St. Anger...

I like both, and I personally find early (Black Album and earlier) Metallica to be better than most Megadeth, however Megadeth have mainitained their good form and are much better than more recent Metallica (St. Anger etc.).

I think most people tend to be fans of both, rather than hating one or the other.
What to people think of Mustaine's idea of doing a gig with Hetfield & Ulrich? I read about it under Megadeth's Wikipedia entry- hehe, "Metalldethica"- how awesome would that be...

That would require Mustaine to stop hating Metallica's guts of course...

That would require Mustaine to stop hating Metallica's guts of course... Bizarrly enough, he claims to have forgiven them and is enthusiatic about the idea. He'd do it for free, apparently. The problem is that no one, anywhere, likes him. Check it out: www.metal-temple.com/interview.asp?id=19 |

I beleive the lead singer from Slayer termed him a "cocksucker" and claimed no one was talking to him.

See I think Musataine gets a lot of bad press, I've read alot of interviews with him where the guy asking the questions goes into it thinking that Mustaine is a prick and alot of the time they come out of it thinking that Mustaine is pretty cool.

I think he comes across well in press, but he tends to annoy other musicians- they probably expect him to be a prick...
He also claims to have been "Born Again", which may explain his sudden good behaviour.
