They're both great bands, so who cares which one is better?
There are times where I think Megadeth completely owns Metallica, and vise versa. The greatest thing possible in my opinion would be a Megadeth/Metallica album.

Too bad that will never happen.

Metallica and Megadeth are pretty equal in my opinion. I consider Rust in Peace on the same level as MOP.

80s: Metallica > Megadeth
90s: Metallica = Megadeth
00s: Megadeth > Metallica IMO.

Megadeth is more technically skilled than Metallica (at least guitar wise). But in terms of whos songs have more energy, sound better, and u can listen to more its Metallica. I will go through stretches of Megadeth for a while then one day i will stop listening to it and wont listen to them for months. But i will always listen to Metallica.

I think the drum, bass and vocal work in Metallica is better than Megadeth, but Mustaine is a better guitarist than both of them.

Hahaha, Drum work better in Metallica? You must be joking.

Megadeth >>>>> Metallica

That is all.

[QUOTE=ThrashMaster27]Hahaha, Drum work better in Metallica? You must be joking.[/QUOTE]

I wouldnt know im a guitar player.

But Metallica are 1000 times better at writing songs (IMO), and overall thats what really matters am i right? And vocals are definitly better in Metallica, thats the worst part about Megadeth, and Cliff and Rob are both bed then D. Elf.

Dave Mustaine can't sing.

yes he can't

yea most of you guys need to leave, there's an official megadeth thread.

megadeth is better now, but for about 20 years metallica was so much better

Who sings backing vocals on The Unnamed Feeling?

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]Who sings backing vocals on The Unnamed Feeling?[/QUOTE]

probably james. but in the studio you can record tracks and tracks of voices and it could sound like 100 people

[QUOTE=gocaps99]probably james. if not, jason. but in the studio you can record tracks and tracks of voices and it could sound like 100 people[/QUOTE]
...Jason??

Its James double tracking vocals. :thumb:

Itll always be that on a cd unless stated otherwise.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]probably james. if not, [B]jason[/B]. but in the studio you can record tracks and tracks of voices and it could sound like 100 people[/QUOTE]

Jason? C'mon Joe. U know Jason wasnt in Metallica for St.Anger.

You might wanna put "In my opinion" there, cause for sure Metallica were never better than Megadeth.

In my opinion.

well it's not my opinion. 90,000,000+ cd's sold is a lot more compared to megadeth's 15,000,000

:lol: :lol:

/feels like an idiot

Mustaine can't sing. So? You either love or hate Mustaine's vocals.

[QUOTE=vashts80]Mustaine can't sing. So? You either love or hate Mustaine's vocals.[/QUOTE]


I like his vocals. they don't bother me. BUT his vocals are nowhere near as good as james vocals

Guys, stop the f[size=2]u[/size]ckin' Metallica vs. Megadeth debate. I cleary said I [b]didn't[/b] want to start another one. This is a Metallica thread anyway.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]well it's not my opinion. 90,000,000+ cd's sold is a lot more compared to megadeth's 15,000,000[/QUOTE]

I'm sure Cher has sold more albums than Megadeth aswell, sure as hell doesn't make her better.

New Topic.

How long do you reckon it will be before Metallica come to the UK again?

Probably not until their new album gets released, or sometime near there.

[QUOTE=vashts80]Mustaine can't sing. So? You either love or hate Mustaine's vocals.[/QUOTE]
I like Mustaine's vocals, but he can't sing.

Metallica will be in the UK in June 2006 probably, maybe appear at Download?

what makes you say june?

but yea back to the original questiobn it won't be till after the new album's released and that could be a long time from now (kea took 21 days and st anger took 2 years)

Yeah but they already had the songs written and everybody knew them perfectly (except maybe kirk). For St.Anger they had to write the songs and then perfect them and then record them. My guess is it will be out mid 2006.

Which means they probly wont get to Europe to Early-late 2007.

and because james left for awhile and it was a pretty relaxed recording session

that sounds like a good guess for when it comes out. then they'll start touring either late 06 or early 07

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]i think that Mustaine has the last word on that,'cause metallica seems to be cool with dave(altough they where jackasses with him 20 years ago).[/QUOTE]

Why were the jackasses to him? Because he was a drunked alcoholic who couldn't stop drinking when on schedule? You people need to stop acting like metallica kicked him out for no reason. Megadeth is still good, although their vocals suck imo. So again, THERE was a reason for kicking him out. They didn't just do it because they felt like doing it. :thumb:

Yeah, but think about it from Dave's point of view. He wasn't given any chances. The people he thought were his friends just said bye to him one day and never talked to him for years and years.

I'd probably have kicked him out too, not gunna lie. But maybe a warning? Something like that.
