that pretty much sums it up. Mustaine is a better guitar player than Hetfield. Friedman and Chris Poland were better than Hammet, but in the end it doesnt fucking matter, because James destroyed Dave in the songwritign department.




lolwut



Mustaine is a good songwriter, but not as good as Hetfield




Yeah Dave isnt a bad songwriter, he just doesnt stack up next to the greatest songwriter in Metal history.




Shoot me again

I ain't dead yet

C'mon, shoot me again

I ain't dead yet

C'mon, shoot me again

I ain't dead yet



C'mon, Shoot me again

Shoot me again

Shoot me

Shoot me again

Shoot me again

C'mon, Shoot me again

Shoot me again

Shoot me

Shoot me again

Shoot me again

C'mon

Hetfield has better lyrics, but MegaDave has the riffage.

Also Unforgiven and The Struggle Within are the two best on the S/T.

Of Wolf and Man was always my favorite, even though it was so freaking cheesy.

he had some pretty cool lyrics, but I don't think they were better than Mustaine's. Probably on par

The only thing in which Hetfield used to unquestionably one up Mustaine was on the vocals. And I say "used to" because over the years Mustaine has improved as a singer and Hetfield's voice has gone down the shitter

Bang your head against the stage

Like you never did before

Make it ring Make it bleed

Make it really sore

In a frenzied madness

with your leather and your spikes

Heads are bobbing all around

It's hot as Hell tonight

Mustaine only bugged me on RiP and a couple of tracks SFSG. On the first two albums he had much more of an unrefined, punkish voice that really fit.

Mustaine's lyrics are consistently decent/good/great. Hetfield has more really shitty moments than good moments

^ Yeah true. I am just thinking of Hetfield's good moments and am forgetting about the 75% of the lyrics he writes that pretty much suck.



Agreed about the voice as well. Hetfield actually learned to sing correctly and it ruined the rawness and emotion.

Sacrificing emotion for a cleaner sound... where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, goddamn everywhere.

The vocals here are a big reason why this isn't up to par with Puppets.

I give you credit for rating this a mere "3," since it's a fairly popular and well-loved Metallica album. I admire your independent thinking, and you make great points. I guess I forgot what the vocals sound like since I know all of the words and scream them at the top of my lungs while I'm listening to the album.



I always thought that Metallica were so bad-ass that they could ride lightening like a Greek god or something...but maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part.
