Let the never-ending battle continue!:P

What band do you think is/was better? (in their prime)

personally i will have to go for Metallica, but both were awesome. Metallica's singing just puts them over the line. imo

Megadeth, Dave Mustaine and Marty Freidman throwing down on Rust In Peace is amazing.

I agree with the OP-the vocals for Metallica far outshine the vocals for Megadeth, IMO, and I tend to feel that vocals are a highly important part of the aesthetics of any song. Metallica was also more versatile.

I disagree-I'd say that Megadeth is far better than post-Black Album Metallica. I really liked the Black Album, especially Enter Sandman and Of Wolf and Man.

Megadeth is much better. Dave isn't a good vocalist, but he's still far above Hetfield (who straight up ruins songs with his terrible voice-ah). The other instruments and songwriting are all better with Megadeth too.

Come now-Enter Sandman is a stellar song :P

IMO, it's one of the best songs Metallica ever made.

Megadeth all the way. Only thing is that Mustaine's vocals live....suck. But their music is WAY better than Metallica in everyway, then again thats my opinion.

Rust In Peace has got to be one of THE greatest albums ever, Mustaine and Friedman are gods!

for pure thrash megadeth wins purely for speed and complexity of their songs. metallica's songs are not as complex, also if you listen enough mustaine's vocals become not only listenable but cool.. the first megadeth song i listened to was mechanix to see what " those copyers" did with 4 horsemen, i thoguth his voice was awful and laughable.. months later i got used to it.. now i love it. if i had to rate albums itd go like this : rust in peace > ride the lightning > peace sells > master of puppets > killing is my business > kill em all > and justice for all > so far so good so what > countdown to extinction > united abominations > the system has failed > death magnetic > black ( black is good dont get me wrong, but its not metal, its hard rock + a lot of ballads.. TRASH OR BUST)

Megadeth. I really have to be in the mood to listen to Metallica, I find their earlier a hell of a lot better, but after their first two albums the quality in sound takes a complete nose dive. Lars's snare drum just sounds like he's kicking a tin shack. I don't think anything Metallica have made can top High Speed Dirt, though.

I'ma go for Megadeth.I seen both bands live and Megadeth were better... they put on one hell of a show.I also think Mustaine's playing ability is in a league of its own.I still like Metallica though.Just not their new stuff.

That was worth watching just to see Lars cry. As much as I like Metallica, I abhor Lars.

In terms of musicianship(sp?) I think Megadeth are better but the vocals kinda bring the music down, but once you get used to them they aren't so bad.

Quite frankly, I don't care whether or not it's thrash.

I care whether or not it's good music :P

Black Album is good music. The stuff before it is good music. The stuff after it is not.

Dude, Sandman sucks and is WAAAAY over played. It's almost become their theme song. The black album does have two of my favorite Metallica songs but Sandman is horrible and mainstream.

I wouldn't know whether or not its overplayed-I only listen to Pandora for my music, so that's not an issue for me :P Even though it may be overplayed, it's still a song I like ;)

I like both of them. Megadeth is more experimental thrash, while Metallica is a mix of heavy and thrash metal. However, I like Metallica a bit more.
