Anthrax should follow Metallica's lead

[lordvic]

The Four Horsemen was written by Metallica including Mustaine when he was in the band - so he took it also and used the same basically (minus the slow middle section + lead), calling it Mechanix.

Hey guys, new to the forum, just thought I'd add my two pennies.

originally, when mustaine was part of Metallica, they wrote the song "mechanix" together. shortly after, Mustaine got the boot, and metallica thought the song was corny, becuase of the subject matter and re-did it as The four horsemen, and allowed the new GUitarist Hammett have fun with the guitaring and put in some kickass solos'

and thats how we got the four horsemen, and when Mustaine put together Megadeth, he was proud enough to include the original Mechanix.

I think I even have a live MP3 of metallica playing Mechanix somewhere

I got a copy on a cd I bought, listened to it a couple times, Megadeth's version was better. Plus, Megadeth played it faster. I've played both versions for people, and most people like the Megadeth one, I still like The Four Horsemen, but Megadeth's was cooler. In my opinion.

and now they broke up, you can hear some of Rudeboys rap on Junkie XL, it's a more dance/rap/rock, maybe you like it!

I know they broke up. Junkie XL is cool.

I love both versions. I love the guitaring more in The Four Horsemen, But the pure speed of Mechanix is unrivalled too... I wouldnt pick on over the other. and its hard to cause, They are both my favourite bands. and yippy, I finally found a copy of Stomp442 yesterday, YIPPY

I don't dislike the covers but along with the rap rock songs I am the man and bring the noize, they should take a temporary back seat to the many other great songs they have in their entire catalog
