I'm stuck at work and bored as hell. So here's a bullshit boredom topic: Megadeth or Metallica?
Pick one or the other, NO " I LIKE THEM BOTH".

I pick Megadeth over Metallica any day of the week.

Megadeth can't touch the first 3 Metallica albums, but as a whole, Megadeth's catalog is overall better than Metallica.

Shit yo. Megadeth any day of the week.

Countdown To Extinction...Youthanasia...Peace Sells...Rude Awakening...So far So good So what!

So many classic albums, all with GREAT cover art to boot.

And Mustaine is a great frontman, amazing all the shit he's put up with to keep his band going.

So many classic tracks - Tornado of Souls, Holy Wars, Peace Sells, Hook In Mouth, Family Tree, Skin o My Teeth, Sweating Bullets, Train Of Consequences, Ashes In Your Mouth, She Wolf...

A (almost) consistently great band. I can never 'click' with Metallica the same way.

I agree with you but I think first four.
Slayer owns both combined any day though!

Neither. I prefer much "heavier" stuff than both bands.

Not that they don't have talent (they do, more so than I could ever hope to have), I just don't like either band.

SAM, I figured you'd have gone with Metallica because of all the Misfits/Samhain covers they did.

Well, here's another vote for Megadeth. Early Metallica was great, but Megadeth has consistantly rocked even in old age.

Megadeth. Far better understanding of Melodic conture and control, and mastery of modal concepts in music theory, makes for very interesting listening.

Damn.

We also would have accepted "they have a better concept of what sounds good" as a response.

I've always listened to Metallica.

I gotta check out Megadeth.

Any suggestions to get started with.

Have you heard Diamond Head, Sam? Years back I picked up their Lightning to the Nations LP, and I was blown away by how much better the originals are than the Metallica covers. Great NWOBHM going on there.

Verbatum, you must be thinking the Friedman era of Megadeth, because Killing - So Far, it was mostly penatonics with straight-forward riffing. Friedman brought a large understand of theory and harmony into Megadeth and I think that's what makes his era awesome as well. Let's just hope Dave learned something from Marty :D

*Edit - You talking about Undisputed Attitude, Sam? That's the only punk cover thing I can think of that Slayer has done. "Disintegration/Free Money" is a fucking killer track on that

megadeth is real
metallica is bullshit lie

dave mustane was in metallica , but partied to hard. SO that means megadeth kicks soo much more ass.
