Metallica or Megadeth

Drums

Who's better. Megadeth for me are way better than metallica. They have better songs and riffs

OLDYELLAR

Ive been getting really addicted to youthanasia recently , its a brilliant album , but i think all in all im more of a metallica person , just rather their music

Mr. CooL ICE

I dunno, i consider them to be equally good in some ways, but the most important thing is, metallica after the black album (maybe even load) is not worth considering, while megadeth have some sort of consistency and dont sound like they have run out of steam.

But i consider megadeth to have 2 classic albums, while metallica would have 3. Metallica have Kill Em All, Master Of Puppets and take a pick from RTL, AJFA and the black album, while megadeth have Peace Sells and Rust In Peace. Im not saying the rest of their stuff is rubbish; its good, but not brilliant. IMO of course.

mayordenis

now : megadeth
before : metallica
before that : metallica

cournioni

Megadeth all the way.

Spalk0

Metallica all the way!

I do like Megadeth, but in the case of them and Metallica, Megadeth have a handfull of good songs IMO but Metallica have much more!

mayordenis

the thing is megadeth dont have any albums that are just awful
metallica do :eek:

Not quite true. Metallica have more albums that are awful than Megadeth (So Far... So Good... So What).

cournioni

So Far... So Good... So What? was a decent album I thought...

Nea

Megadeth.
I have seen both about 4 times and megadeth has always been more fun.
Plus the Metallica corporation kinda killed the love I had for Metallica

Blisterman

Metallica have more good songs. They're both good though.

Geranium

Hmmmm....doesn't matter really they are pretty similar depnds whether you're comparing their whole music catalogues or just what's good about them.

OLDYELLAR

Yea i agree with trigger here , megadeth do have some excellent songs , but on the whole i think metallica have way more , like if i was going on a long journey and had to choose between a metallica album or a megadeth album , id choose metallica every time.

garthv

eh...MEGADETH...tbh

Kitsune

Megadeth
I think Metallica probably have the better drummer but Megadeth have the best riffs.

Ronan|Raven

I like them both equally. The whole sell out thing doesnt take up my every living moment when listening to any group unlike some

senordingdong

Metallica are better in my opinion.

yeah....'sell out'

honru

Megadeth.

mp3guy

if you know anything about music, you'd pick megadeth

No way... Ulrich is probably one of the most average drummers out there.

He has a point though...

Mustaine writes the music, Metallica rips it off.

So Far, So Good is a ****ing great album - Into The Lungs Of Hell, Set The World Afire, Liar, In My Darkest Hour, etc Are these awful songs?

I think not.

Megadeth do have one album that truly sucks ball and it goes by the name of Risk. That particular piece of shyte has no redeeming features and it stands shoulder to shoulder with Metallica's worst.

To sum up both bands, initially four legendary albums each, then they both veered towards commerciality and Metallica never made it back. Megadeth redeemed themselves IMO, Metallica R.I.P.

True. Oh, and megadeth are generally better musicians IMO.

Energizer

Megadeth have some brilliant songs but Metallica have great songs(nothing else matters eetc...)

I've yet to hear a megadeth song that had the wow factor for me yet!

SirLemonhead

heh I like Risk. I'm sure it'd probably have been more popular under a different band name.

And haha, even Chuck Behler is better than Ulrich, and he was Deths worst drummer

Doctor J

Chuck was actually a ****ing great drummer, I had the privelege of seeing him play live, the man was no slouch. The problem was Paul Lani, the producer, had him play the drums separately from the cymbals on So Far, So Good, So What, so it would record cleaner. That's a totally unnatural thing for a drummer to do, imagine being told to play the guitar one string at a time. The end result is a cleaner drum sound but totally devoid of spontenaity and all the good things a live drummer brings to a record.

SirLemonhead

I retract my comment so I never saw them live back then.

Brow

I'd probably say Metallica but only just.

thegogz

its simple Megadeth rock metallica were great untill they became money grabbing comercial idiots basically the release of the black album was the end of metallica
