Metallica or Megadeth

Mettalica

I have been into metallica since the 80's ( and thats the1980's for you middleschool metal fans) Metallica has a special let say signature in all their music, but with this new album I can only here it in 1 or 2 songs I think that with James getting sober and older,  he and the other 2 life members are trying to hard. The lyrics just seem to forced.  I will always love and support my METALLICA  what ever direction they want to go. I will just have to play the older stuff  to get my fix.

Metallica definitely. Megadeth is decent but Metallica definitely owns them in riffs, solos, and pure energy. They're both good bands though (even though Dave Mustaine is a douche)

We all know VOLDEMORT is the real Dark Lord. Oh, crap. I just said his name. I don't think I can do that.

Except that statement is wrong. I'm not big on Megadeth, but Metallica is horrid. Could they say, "This I swear," AGAIN on "The Day that Never Comes?" The end of that song sounded like "One" in a way. There's sounding like you old music, and then there's sounding EXACTLY like your old music. I prefer originality.

to get to your quote, i agree, The Day That Never Comes sounds like the end of One, FOR THE LAST 2 SECONDS. and for the argument. If you wanna say for argument sake of who stuck to thrash, and tried to stay in their element. It's Megadeth. they had numerous line-up changes, cause dave is an ass while drunk, but they stuck to that thrash because it's metal to them, it's metal to us, and that's just the way it is. if you want all-around sake, it's Metallica hands down. the thrash classics are the first FOUR, everyone stops at Master of Puppets because cliff died on tour. but it's actually the first four. You wanna know why you don't hear bass on Justice, cause they turned Jason's *** down. Cliff wrote lines for that album. So it's the first four. Then, the Black Album, which is good, but for people like me, who love the old Metallica, we can stand it to a certain point because water-downed fans think it's the best piece of are in history. It's not. Load/ReLoad, they should of released it as a Double Album, released on the same day, because Load doesn't better receptions than ReLoad has, that's why Metallica released more singles for Load, to balance it out. Garage Inc. the covers are great, especially on the second disc. S & M, great idea by those guys, St. Anger, that's something that they felt they had to do, and they dont' acknowledge it anymore. Death Magnetic, they're trying to bring the thrash back, but there's a loudness war on the record, and it doesn't balance teh thrash sound out as well as it did on Justice. Simple Argument- Metallica other arguments- it varies

Dave hands down! Metallica jump the shark after master of puppets!

Mmmm..im gonna have to go with Megadeth simply because megadeth was like the underdog..but i gotta admit dave mustaine is one cocky ***.

Megadeth for me.  While Metallica has gotten the critical acclaim.  Megadeth's "Peace Sells Album" was ground breaking in getting the big four "Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth" into the main stream.  In addition, Dave has pretty much done it on his own, and like he told the Metallica Boys in their documentary...he had to deal with punks telling him he sucked from day one with the one-sided press blitz that Metallica put out there about him. 

I prefer Megadeth.  Megadeth has more going on musically, with better harmonies and melodies.  Metallica can certainly stick and groove with the best of them, but Mustaine is the greater talent as a guitarist and composer.  Megadeth's bass lines are better (Ellefson is missed), especially post-Burton, and their drums sound more natural.  They have better production. 

OTOH, Metallica is stronger lyrically over their body of work, and while Hetfield isn't a great vocal talent, he's better than Mustaine.  The commercial gap likely wouldn't have been as great if Mustaine had recruited a lead vocalist who was also a decent writer.
