I wanted to know what everybody thinks about this. Which band is better and who is more talented? I have made a small chart with my opinions, but lemme know yours.
Musical Talent: I think Dave is overall has much more to offer when it comes to this debate. Not only that, but Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson studied Jazz and brought that complexity to the band during their hay day. I think that Metallica are also very talented, but I feel like they were not as complexly as talented as Megadeth. Dave is just a beast on guitar.
Megadeth 1
Metallica 0
Song Writing Skills: While Megadeth had great songs off their albums, Metallica were able to make one album out of a bunch of great songs. Up until Load/Reload, Metallica were making entire albums comprised of all incredible songs.
Megadeth 1

Better Albums: While Megadeth had some great albums, it can't be ignored that Metallica were making hits out of entire albums. There are definitely classics in the Megadeth memorabilia, but Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, Kill Em All, ...And Justice for All and the Black album are so well etched into the Heavy Metal world. And, these albums made such a big impact in music forever.
Megadeth 1
Metallica 2
Better Solos: Hands down this one has to go to Megadeth. The way they crafted solos during every point in their career, (except Risk), was incredible. Yes, Metallica had catchy songs and remembered choruses, Megadeth had the solo part down.
Megadeth 2
Metallica 2
Then vs Now: Okay, Metallica has taken a shit over their careers in that last fifteen years. First it was St. Anger, then it was Lulu and now we can hope they come out with something better. Metallica defiantly changed their sound heavily after the Black album, and it wasn't for the better. Megadeth however, has a few stains such as Super Collider and Risk, but other than that, they stick to their thrash metal roots. This one, goes to Megadeth.
Megadeth 3
