Megadeth vs Metallica

[Elric of Melniboné]

Congratulations, you just played yourself

I like how you actually expect me to believe that you were being clever.

On topic, I guess that I would choose Metallica because I like more of their albums, although I recognize that Dave Mustaine contributed to some of their best songs. It's a hard choice.

Ive come to respect Megadeth's music more over the years but the answer still has to be Metallica because of RtL.

I have trouble listening to either band at this point though. Perma-burnt on them.

I like how you actually expect me to believe that you were being clever.

I like how you expected I was being serious. Again, you were playing yourself.

You can't ever let anything go and it just comes across as attention-seeking behavior. It's unsurprising that you have such a ridiculous post count.

Yet here you are trying to get the last word when I've called you out on being a hypocrite and it's just like someone who has no argument talking about my post count when no one has done that for 4 years.

Again, you. have.played. yourself.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

You're getting really mad because you said something dumb on the internet and it's funny.

You can have the last word if you want it. It's clearly very important to you and I know you'll reply to this post.

This is you right now

When you two argue you produce the dumbest least interesting arguments to read.

Do we have a Kreator vs Destruction vs Sodom thread?

sodom all the way

Love Megadeth
and while the first 4 Metallica albums are pretty awesome. They arent anywhere near Megadeth
Dave wrote some killer riffs

 

[CiG]

His vocals have always thrown me off, also all the songs he wrote for Kill 'Em All don't sound as good on the Megadeth debut.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Mechanix is faster than The Four Horsemen though, and we all know faster equals better.

 

[CiG]

Meh.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Mechanix is such garbage compared to The Four Horsemen. Mustaine was/is probably the worst lyricist in all of thrash, and that's saying something.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Yeah I was joking. I think Killing is my Business... is pretty shit on the whole.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Nah, Loved to Deth is his greatest song and the only time where Poland/Samuelson really show off their jazz roots, Rattlehead had a riff great enough for Dick Dale to copy, Skull Beneath the Skin is pure intensity, the title track is a masterpiece of groove almost like Van Halen meets thrash, and Looking Down the Cross has riffage creepy enough to fit on the classic Mercyful Fate albums. Five absolutely perfect songs, even if the cover and Mechanix are both shit.

 

[CiG]

"Looking Down The Cross" fucking rules.

 

[Bloopy]

These are just my thoughts. I want to know what you think. Lemme know by replying to this thread.

I mostly agree with you apart from the Then vs Now, so Metallica gets my vote. I prefer to listen to a band that experiments and fails over one that plays it safe. I like songs that stand out (unusual/catchy/whatever), and these days Megadeth only seems to do one of those per album, while the rest is monotonous to me. Whereas Lulu is hilariously entertaining, and I found something to like in St. Anger as well.

Megadeth could gain some ground back if you compare live concerts. Metallica gigs are more gimmicky and predictable, with too many hits that they insist on playing every time.

Mechanix is easily better. Sure the lyrics are dumb, but pretty much everything else about it is better.
