AC DC or Metallica

[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"][QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

:shock: they combined Back in Black, Hells Bells, T.N.T., Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Whole Lotta Rosie, Thunderstruck, Highway to Hell, Sin City, For Those About To Rock, Shoot To Thrill, You SHook Me All Night Long, Money Talks, The Razor's Edge, If You Want Blood, Who Made Who, Heatseeker, and more into one song.

When did that happen? :o

Wolf-Man2006

Cool. I still prefer Highway to Hell to Master of Puppets :).

Black Sabbath beats both of them. They have something from both and more. But on topic I have to give it to metallica mainly because there pretty much a heavier and faster version of Sabbath. :D

Some Metallica stuff is good, where as with AC/DC most of it makes me want to take a saw to my ears.

AC/DC became a cartoonish-joke after Bon Scott died. And even the Bon Scott albums didn't really revolutionize hard rock. Not that music has to be revolutionary to be good, it's just that if we're comparing AC/DC to Metallica, we have to take it into account. It may be hard to appreciate or comprehend when Metallica has been a mainstream music force since the 90s, but there was a time when Metallica was revolutionary. They were influenced by bands most people had never heard of (keep in mind that even Iron Maiden and Judas Priest didn't find commercial success till the early 80s). And they made metal faster, more punkish with their first album. Their second album was a true revolution in metal songwriting, with a darker, heavier sound influenced by Sabbath and Venom, while at the same time incorporating progressive flourishes.

Also, unlike AC/DC, who has rehashed the same sound and themes for their whole career, Metallica does not have any two albums which sound alike (with the exception of Load and Reload). Kill 'em All is punkish and gleefully maniacal. Ride the Lightning is morbid, nihilistic, and progressive. Master of Puppets is socio-political and builds on the progressive sound with an increase in time changes and the like. And Justice for All is disillusioned, with a focus on the failures of the judicial system, and is the most progressive Metallica album and easily one of the most progressive rock albums. And of course, the albums after that are so different that I don't even need to bother explaining them. Sure, the music took a dip for the worse, and it was all commerically oriented (with the exception of Death Magnetic), but it was different.

Oh man, I like them both. Crap. Gotta go with AC/DC.

AC/DC because they are who we love them to be and they don't feel the need to change for anyone.

AC/DC sound like a bunch of grandpas trying to go back into his 30's

Metallica.

I could never really get into AC DC for some reason.

metallica. i don't like vocals in ac dc.

Metallica without a doubt!

I'm not a fan of either, really. If hard pressed I'd say Metallica. They at least have some variation throughout the decades, even if that variation sucks.
