Mustaine is a good guitarist, but Friedman was/is better than him. Maybe not now that Friedman is in j-pop and not metal anymore, but back when Friedman was in metal he was the better guitarist.

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]I think he is. He hasn't got his reputation as a great guitarist just because he was in Metallica, you know.[/QUOTE]
No no, Friedman > Mustaine. Don't get me wrong, Mustaine's great but Friedman is better. It's a shame he went out so early in the polls.

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]Mustaines not even better than Friedman though.[/QUOTE]

Kirk isn't better than hetfield either. :lol:

[QUOTE=Vio-lence]Megadeth solos aren't always shredding, gocaps. Even their fast ones aren't really shred compared to say, Yngwie, or in thrash terms, Forbidden.[/QUOTE]

not all of them, but i don't really like the way mustaine solos

agreed, it's a shame that mustaine is still in the polls

[QUOTE=PepsiMetal]Kirk isn't better than hetfield either. :lol:[/QUOTE]

Hes a million times better at lead.

they're both incredible, just at different things

They most certainley are :thumb:

R. Blythe-I was quite happy with your post in the MX nice guys thread :)

I agree, though I don't think Friedman could be the primary songwriter of a thrash band.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]I agree, though I don't think Friedman could be the primary songwriter of a thrash band.[/QUOTE]
Actually he's a very capable songwriter. I have two of his solo albums and one of them could fit into speed/thrash metal.

I guess I just keep thinking of Mustaines voice and Friedman's style and I can't see them working. I know he can write good songs, but 80's style thrash I think would be weird.

It worked brilliantly on Rust In Peace.

Oh, I know that, it's just I can't imagine Friedman writing the entire songs, not just doing the solos. RIP is in my top 3 albums ever.

Marty didn't write any songs on Rust In Peace though.

Like I said to you before. Actually hear more than 3 Megadeth songs before you make a judgement on daves solo capabilities. This is what pisses me off about this thread, half of you have no clue what you're talking about, you just defend Metallica all the time.

Dave isn't in the polls anymore, he got voted out. Plus he's there for his songwriting and Guitaring. You don't agree, then go have a cry.

Marty did however write a few of the solos on RiP.

He did most of the solos on Rust In Peace.

Is this a Metallica thread or a Megadeth thread?

This happens often

For once, we get a new subject that hasn't been rinsed lifeless. And what happens? People complain.

Yeah, good call. Everytime I visit here it's "wat iz yur fav tallica solo dudez" so it's nice to have a change.

What do you expect? No lists for almost 2 pages! The horror!

Heres a list:

1. Megadeth
2. pwns
3. you

It should shut the n00bs up at least.

Metal guitar, who is that in your avatar?

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]Metal guitar, who is that in your avatar?[/QUOTE]

Mr. Jason Becker.

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]Metal guitar, who is that in your avatar?[/QUOTE]
Jason Becker. My favourite guitarist.

i have been playing guitar for about 5 months and have decided to learn my first proper (more complex) solo. Im learning the unforgiven and for a change im enjoying it and sticking with it. After i have mastered this what are other solos about the same level as this (i.e not really hard, but not simple either)

"The Outlaw Torn"
"Bleeding Me"

I agree with the other guy. Take the megadeth BS to their thread. There is a reason there are 2 seperate threads for each bands. If you dont like metallica, stop bitching and go to megadeth thread. I dont like megadeth and I dont go flaming them in their thread.

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]Hes a million times better at lead.[/QUOTE]

Just because kirk does leads in metallica doesn't necessarily mean he's better than hetfield. They're both great, but overall james is much more skilled than kirk.
