x1yyz Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Wow, I never realized Megadeth was so well-liked by people. I don't know them well. I only have a couple albums, and for whatever reason I never listened to them over the years like I did Metallica; it was just the way things happened, I guess. But it sounds like I should pay them a lot more attention. Mustaine does have a bit of a whiny voice though, at least on the albums I've heard. I like Hetfield's better. Oh, and I should mention that when I talk about Metallica, I am only talking about the band up through Justice. They cease to exist for me after that. But the early albums, especially Ride and Master, are way, WAY up there for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I went with the "They both Suck" option. I don't like any Magadeth. Saw them in concert once and it sounded like pure noise - to my ears. Metallica has a few good songs - "Fade to Black", "For Whom the Bell Tolls" "Turn the Page" (wait, that was written by the great Bob Seger), plus a couple off the Black Album. But most of their stuff sounds like noise to me. So, I guess I like Metallica more. But not so much as to change my vote from the "Both Suck" option. BTW - would have voted for a "They all suck" if the poll had included Anthrax & Slayer. Speed / thrash metal is just not my cup of tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Well megadeth easily for me. I almost never listen to metallica anymore. I still listen to megadeth often. Dystopia is still on rotation lol. Ive seen megadeth several times and nevet seen metaklica. I will see them if they come close just for fun though. I agree with all who said megadeth entire catolog is just greater, it is.

Digital Dad Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I would rather listen to Katy Perry backwards than METALLICA after "And Justice For All." I mean really? You posers love the fuckking MTV BLACK ALBUM? You same posers are probably the same food who love "BACK IN BLACK" by AC/DC!!!! ALL CRAP! The math is simple you emo fools. Once Bon died, AC/DC died.Once Burton died, METALLICA died. UGH! Go ahead. Listen to your pop shite metal. Even TREEDUCK love "Flick Of The Switch." I MEAN "DICK OF THE BITCH!" Useless tripe! I don't get it. Oh yeah man! I LOVE "SINK THE PINK!" "FLY ON THE WALL" IS GREAT!! "WHO MADE WHO?" SWALLOW MY MTV GOO! I love Back In Black Earl, I also really like Black Album. I listen to music for what it is, not what I think it should be. Now Katy Perry on the other hand... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Metallica Even the Loads had some moments and Death Magnetic was a decent comeback. Megadeth just isn't the same as the early days. Kirk is a better lead anyways. Love how he put his blues rock influences of Stones, Aerosmith and Cream into their music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 It's a very tough call. I'm much more familiar with Metallica material compared to Megadeth...so just on that point, I say Metallica. The best Metallica is hard to match. Peace Sells is killer though. Everyone has a boner for Rust in Peace...maybe I should listen to that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it not been a hit I bet more fans would love it Damn dude, you love "sellout" albums. First "Moving Pictures" and then "And Justice For All!" MTV album featuring no bass player!!! Metallica is one of the most overrated bands on the planet! Jesus! Give me a break!!!! Cliff Burton was the glue in that band. His death was a metaphor for the band he created. Duh!!!!! Metallica played at Rasputin Records today in Berkeley CA! Very limited. Only 100 people. had a chance to go see them live in a small record store because I am good friends with many Rasputin people. I had ZERO interest to go. I turned down the offer. I would rather watch white paint dry in a winter storm than see Metallica play live. Useless.

catherine Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I chose Metallica because I am more familiar with their albums. I mostly listen to everything up to Master of Puppets, but I occasionally listen to Black and Death Magnetic. I haven't given Megadeath a fair shake I guess. I should probably see why so many here give them high praise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer music to be so widely unheard of that the most classic and perfect of all metal albums remain a secret to all but fifteen of the pub goers who bought the album after being threatened into it by a desperate, poor and jobless band. Pfft to publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I like AJFA. My favorite Metallica song is on there...Blackened! I like about half of the black album too. It's not bad, just boring. I couldn't even tell you how Holier Than Thou goes right now and I've heard it a hundred times. Megadeth tho! Holy Wars! Hangar 18! Tornado of Souls! Come onnnnn.

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) I love both, personally. I once saw someone describe both bands perfectly a long time ago. They said that Metallica is the thunder of heavy metal, while Megadeth is the lightning of heavy metal. And really, that description always seemed to suit both bands. That's how I feel anyway. I kind of get tired of the whole "selling out" argument. It's so tired and cliché. Especially when you consider how many metal bands followed in Metallica's footsteps after they made a significant impact in the mainstream. Hell, Metallica thought they sold out when they recorded Escape for Ride The Lightning. Music videos aren't really about selling out. They're about putting a visual component to the music. I understand that Load and Reload are considered more "safe" in terms of sound, but at least they tried something different. If anything, it makes their discography a bit more varied than other bands of the 80's metal scene. It helps you to appreciate what they did in the 80's, and if you're a fan, makes you appreciate the risks they took even more.
