music Megadeth vs Metallica

[14ZombiE88]

I love women singers. Joan Jett was my first love at 3 yrs old. But they got to be bad bitches for me to be into it.

There are some really bad bitches in rock/metal today.

What about women  screaming in metal?

I'm not a screamo death metal fan myself.

I almost got an urge to cunt punt you for that

If God will do a duet with Doro then Doro is Jesus

Its personal preference, its not my jam.

Not all are talented, I give you exibit A...

 

[OminousDarkness]

This will probably draw all kinds of hate but I don't love women singing metal. Just not my preference.

And no, I sing horribly. Which would be why I am not trying to front a band.

Really? What about Otep and In This Moment?

I love me some Mazza star from way back.

Lacuna Coil and Arch Enemy are better and the chicks are hotter.

His singing is horrendous but rhythmically and harmonically they are far superior to Metallica. Marty Friedman as the lead/supporting guitar for all of megadeths most beloved albums made a huge difference as there is a deep yet accessible technicality to his playing both in rhythm and melodically that draws from mustaines writing and chord progressions. The quality of his tone is still worth talking about. And the production quality of megadeths most revered albums exceeds Metallica's most prolific work. Marty Friedman was the glue to those records, Dave mustaine as a rhythm guitarist is precise and melodic without being too wanky. Kirk Hammett on the other hand spams blues, pentatonic, and whammy bar nonsense most of the time. Lars is a living meme. Megadeths current drummer dirk verbeuren is an absolute technician at the kit, capable of far beyond what the material demands. Nothing Metallica has written comes close in terms of compositional merit from an instrumental standpoint. Catchier, sure, more marketable long term, sure, but objectively speaking Megadeth was and is the better band.

The classic Megadeth vs Metallica issue... Gotta love it.

I look at it this way: They're two completely different bands with completely different members with completely different styles, training and skills.

Both bands have positive and negative attributes. As a guitarist, I find Metallica's music easier to play. Megadeth's music is much more complex and thus harder to learn, but ultimately far more rewarding.

The debate will never end, of course. But at the end of the day, if I were to be stuck on a desert island alone with only the discographies of either Metallica or Megadeth to listen to, I'd have to choose Metallica for one simple reason: Dave Mustaine's lyrics never change and his voice is nasal and grating.

Elaborating further on my earlier point:

Metallica being catchier as well as more marketable in the long term gives them a pass to suck.

Catchier and more marketable means greater licensing opportunities (master of puppets being used in stranger things, for a very recent, very relevant example).

More licensing opportunities means that their passive income stream is significantly larger and more reliable than that of Megadeth, allowing them to get lazy, both in their playing/chops, and in their creative efforts, as sucking harder and harder with each passing decade will not slow or halt the gravy train for them. They are permitted to suck, and that's fine, it works for them because their older material works harder for them, significantly more than megadeths does.

James & Lars did Dave dirty and they admitted that but I ride with Metallica up until the black album.

I don't mind the woman in "In This Moment's" voice necessarily, but I don't really love their music. Lyrically, its pretty bad. Its full of really predictable cliches.

Now, wait a second. Metallica's LEAST selling album still outsold Megadeth's BEST selling album.

Additionally, I've been to well over a hundred concerts of each band, and Metallica definitely throws a better show.

This is like cradle of flith wives got together. I like th bass player. Physical and her playing.

Selling records don't mean jack. And Dave is a drama queen but he can do that. He made both bands.

You and I can debate back and forth every day for all of eternity, but numbers don't lie.

Metallica's LEAST selling studio album, Hardwired To Self Destruct (2,399,493) almost outsold Megadeth's HIGHEST selling album, Countdown To Extinction (2,465,000).

People don't buy records because of technical skills or musical prowess. They buy records based upon what sounds better to their ears. I like both bands, but in a perfect world, Dave would have never been kicked out of Metallica.

Um, no. Dave wasn't a founding member of Metallica. Lars and James met first. Dave came along later.

Metallica was formed in Los Angeles in late 1981 when Danish drummer Lars Ulrich placed an advertisement in a Los Angeles newspaper, The Recycler, which read, "Drummer looking for other metal musicians to jam with Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Iron Maiden." Guitarists James Hetfield and Hugh Tanner of Leather Charm answered the advertisement.
