Metallica vs Megadeth-your opinion on which group is better?

50/50? I expected Metallica to dominate this poll.

both bands suck, but early Metallica was pretty good. so i go with them.

Megadeth, I don't like any Metallica besides Kill 'Em All, even Justice, Lightning and Puppets I find extremely average.

As long as you ignore Lulu (which sucked really bad), Metallica has not had a bad album. So Metallica > Megadeth.the_phenom_

You like Load, Reload and St Anger?

I'm undecided... Each band has its pros and cons that equal each other out. While Metallica's lyrics are one-dimensional, Megadeth have more interesting concepts. On the other hand, Metallica has better riffs. It all depends what I prefer more: good riffs or lyrics

One of my favourite Metallica songs & performances. Justice is really underrated:(

Also, it's 2:20am on a Sunday morning and I'm posting on GS - my life is awesome:lol:

And Pirate700, I'm surprised you like either Metallica or Megadeth...

I thought you were a huge country fan? I'd assume thrash metal would be too harsh on the ears of a country fan.

Though I've never met a country fan, so I guess I could be talking complete nonsense:P

Some nice riffs.

Megadeth, I find they tackle real issues in the world and see the bigger picture of things in many of their songs, unlike other bands who just sing about dumb crap like their girl friend break ups or banging hookers or something, and as far as metal bands go they don't have that annoying growling satanic crap that so many metal bands try to pass off as "music".

Surprised this hasn't devoled into a flame war. Anywho, im biased, but my im gonna go Megadeth (favorite band of all time.) I feel like Megadeth has made the higher quality albums and have more memorable riffs and what not (Fvkcin Peace sells bass intro still rocks). As well as remaing heavier longer, and still retaining their sound on Countdown (what i call their equivalent to BA). Not to discredit Metallica, i like them as well. I feel Mustaine succeded in his mission, they play heavier, faster, and better. Again, I am biased as Megadeth is my favorite band.

Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Led Zeppelin are "satanic"? Your mental retardation never ceases to amaze me (and everyone here probably).

Growling and playing really fast without beat or rythym isn't music, it's just loud and annoying inchoherent noises. Also called garbage.

And death metal has stupid lyircs that don't mean anything (not that it matters since it's incoherant like I said), just dumb sh!t about drinking blood and raping demons or some other crap that dumb goth losers listen to because they are trying to be "rebellious" or some crap. Eventually these people grow up, or they become seriel killers or something. I don't know.

[QUOTE="Postmortem123"]

[QUOTE="ArmoredCore55"]Have you listened to this? The guys from Pantera, except for the vocalist was in that band before Dimebag's death. On topic, I would probably say Metallica, although Megadeth is good, too.ArmoredCore55

Yeah, I could do without the vocals, but it's still more listenable than 90% of other music.

Terrible trolling attempt, though I'm sure someone will fall for it.

I was referring to Death Metal and not Metal genre in general you silly Mamzer.

Those bands you listed arn't death metal.

Eh....Sudden Death has some pretty technical guitar in it, but a bit of a stretch for me to consider it a favourite.

I like Megadeth better, but I'd probably have to pick Nightmare out of the two :P

Instruments and guitar shredding stuff sounds cool and would be perfect for a boss fight or something. However the vocals suck and so do the lyics I'm sure, though that doesn't matter because for all I know they could just be making random animal growling noises .

That's always been close to being one of my favourite Megadeth songs. Can't beat that solo ;)

Not sure what my most favourite song would be. Though Wake up Dead and Five Magics would be pretty damn close atm.

Holy Wars is my second favorite, my number 1 Mega Deth song is Symphony of Destruction. I also like Youth in Asia and Train of Consequences and Peace Sells. All of those songs are about real issues.

I like megadeth, I like metallica...I prefer metallica.

My top five favorite Megadeth songs would be:

1. Rust in Peace...Polaris
2. Take No Prisoners
3. Peace Sells
4. Mary Jane
5. Rattlehead

Megadeth, but not by much. I'm happy I got to see both live (Metallica did the better show) but Rust In Peace still blows me away.

Haha, it's not "youth in asia" it's youthanasia, a play on the word "euthanasia".
