Yeah this did get posted last week. But still hilarious every time I see it. I've always hated Kirk's playing. I've always wondered what Metallica would be like if they had kept Mustaine. I'm a huge Megadeth fan and all... but it would be nice to have Metallica kick Kirk out, get Dave in the mix, and get Sneap at the helm for a new album. Please god make it happen. Just for shits try it and see what would happen. All of them are so money and media hungry, why don't they see this as a HUUUUUGE payoff?

It doesn't really matter who produces and/or engineers anything Metallica do now.
The band is so far past their prime it's not funny.
Putting a great producer in front of a band that is merely competent is like putting a sports exhaust and extractors on a 1984 Toyota Camry with the 1.8 liter 4 cylinder.
Sure, it will perform a little better, but ultimately it's still pretty fucking mediocre and no one except the die hard fanboys are going to be impressed.

I understand what you're saying, and that's why I didn't simply say put Metallica as they are now in the hands of Sneap. I mentioned replacing Kirk with Mustaine to see what would happen. The last two Megadeth albums were awesome. Sneap did wonders with them compared to their last few albums prior to United Abominations. Dave is still a beast of a guitar player and I think he could inject a ton of great riffs and solos. I know this is a futile argument and this will probably never happen, but it was all in fun just wondering what would happen. And, just to be an ass, you CAN polish a turd -- the Mythbusters confirmed it.

Whoa, that was a very poignant and well substantiated thought.
There's no point in arguing with one of you Metallica vs. Megadeth pre-pubescent teens. Your opinion is just that, YOUR opinion. Even loyal die-hard Metallica fans I know will say the last two Megadeth albums (despite not being Megadeth fans per-se) were FAR better than anything Metallica has done in the last 15-20 years from a Metal/Thrash, Guitar, and production standpoint. You can swing from Metallica's balls all you want, but you can't deny that Metallica could do better without Kirk. Most people who hate Megadeth are ones who hate Dave's "snarling" vocals. If you like the first two Metallica albums, then you pretty much like Dave's writing -- seeing how he wrote pretty much all of the guitar parts for both albums and is credited in most of the song credits. You can't deny that Dave would be a MUCH better choice than Kirk. I'm so sick of these fucking teens still fueling the Metallica vs. Megadeth feud. The feud is over. You have a right to not like Megadeth, but that's your opinion and it doesn't mean they "suck".

The original longer video of this basically reveals that they changed the riff because Kirk couldn't ever get the hang of it - they end up playing it in straight 8ths.

Take it you've never heard Rust In Peace before?
I've yet to hear a Metallica record half as good as RIP

I can.
You sound like a teen yourself, presenting your opinion as a fact.
I think that Kirk's solos are infinitely better than any of Dave's.

I'm 27, thanks for asking. And no, I'm not presenting anything as fact. If I was, I would cite my sources. Of course anything that comes out of anyones mouth on here is mostly opinions. I don't see how any self-respecting guitar player can say Kirk NOW is better than DM. I can't deny that Kirk has some good solos from the pre-Load era, but i'm sorry, he's just not the same player he used to be. They got lazy and are just too old. It seems they've lost the drive and what they were all about. IN MY OPINION (A disclaimer I don't think I really need, but added anyways), you can't compare the two bands anymore... Megadeth is back in the thrash/metal league, while Metallica still anyone's guess. They are uber try hards that just don't get it anymore. I used to love Metallica (Black album and everything prior)... but they can't touch Megadeth. Megadeth are in a totally different league. Any Megadeth solo that Dave wrote from the last two albums (hell, even the last 20 years) crushes anything Metallica has done post-Load in the last 15 years. I'm sick of fucking Metallica fanboys swinging on Kirk's nuts just because he's Kirk. He was a decent guitarist at one time, but he's a pile of dog shit now. There are guitarists out there MUCH better than even Dave, but this argument is on how bad Kirk is. This video proves he's a piece of dog shit in the world of guitarists. His time has come and gone. Sure he has some good solos, but he hasn't done anything that remotely good in over 20 years now. Where the fuck is your almighty Kirk at that you're still fingering? Spit his nut juice out already and move on. I believe Metallica ended when they eventually ran out of riffs they ripped off of DM.
And no, I'm not a huge fanboy of DM either. But logically, DM seems to be the better guitarist both rhythm and lead wise. I don't even tote on him being a great guitar player either, as I said, there are much better players out there. But c'mon... Kirk is garbage. Anyone who can't HEAR or SEE that needs to quit music as they have no fucking ear or sense of reality.

Ok, I was talking about Kirk Hammet in general and not based only on the last years. As a lead guitarist I think he is better and that's not going to change since I'm talking about technique which can't really change for the worst (even if hearing his solos now you may get that impression )
I agree, after black album Kirk hasn't done anything worth shit, but I find everything megadeth has done since then equally uninspired, even if it's more "metal" and with much better production. But then I never liked megadeth anyway (except for youthanasia and 2-3 songs here and there).
So my point is, there's no way to prove or to convince anyone which band is better, some like metallica, some like megadeth, some like both, so be it. You say "I'm so sick of these fucking teens still fueling the Metallica vs. Megadeth feud." yet that's exactly what you're doing isn't?
P.s. I'm not sure about "kill'em all" 'cause is my least favorite metallica album anyway but I'm pretty sure Mustaine didn't "write pretty much all the guitar parts" in "ride the lightning".
He is credited for 2 songs (ride the lightning, call of kthulu) and even them I believe he didn't write by himself

I'm not trying to feed any feud at all. My argument is simply at those Kirk fanboys that think Kirk was, is and always will be a better guitarist than DM. That argument doesn't exist. Sure Kirk has some more melodic solos here and there, but overall as a well-rounded guitarist, DM stomps him. Of course, that's my opinion. I am not saying Megadeth are better than Metallica at all... in my opinion, they are two different types of music and always have been. Sure they are "metal", but they play two completely different types. I can't compare apples to oranges as there's no argument there. I was simply supporting the purpose of this thread to show how lame of a guitarist Kirk is. You said it yourself, you never were much of a Megadeth fan and therefore you're biased. I'm a fan of both bands and can say that I THINK dave is a better guitarist. Of course everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, so I'll stop rage ranting. Everyone has their own musical tastes and opinions, but I just can't stand someone that comes in and says "Megadeth sucks though" and are the ones guilty of presenting their opinions as fact that you claim.
