I've listened to a lot more Metallica since 1983 than Megadeth just like the public in general. The point about complexity is just that , Mustain is a more accomplished player and some people respect and appreciate that, it doesn't mean everything. James has a more acceptable singing voice to most people and that sells records.

I think Metallica’s first 4 albums are absolutely legendary but overall I think Megadeth has consistently edged them out in terms of consistency in song writing and song quality and just sheer talent musically. But generally I prefer Megadeth since their music tends to be a little more innovative technically and not absolutely blown out like Metallicas music. There’s only so much master of puppets and ride the lightning you can hear in your life before you tend to want to move on.

This is the best way to explain my opinion on both bands I have loved and compared one stop, since listening to both of them. You articulated my opinion on superb fashion, brotha. My favorite album has always been 'Kill 'em All'... No coincidence that half of that album was MegaDave and the other was Metallica's brothers Lars and James. The first Metallica album was a masterpiece that I still enjoy now as much as when I did having first bought it, decades ago. Overall, I do prefer Megadave for the same reasons you stated.

In hindsight I have to give it to Megadeth. The fact that Mustaine is still alive is miraculous. But those albums from 1988 to today hold up -- in like a jazz way -- and while Metallica's first 4 are phenomenal, they've had a near 30 years streak of meh at best. I look at Mustaine like an addicted jazz musician/band leader -- brilliant, flawed, difficult, genius -- who managed to not kill himself and create some timeless complex but still approachable metal along the way and it's appeal had only grown on me over the years. So Megadeth hands down the better band.

Honestly, as a musician myself and been in four different bands, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that really cared that much. I like both bands. I do think there are issues with certain metal fans that have this idea that music cannot be good unless it’s extremely difficult to play. And yes, those musicians are very talented. I would never say they weren’t but I’ve also heard a lot of bands with a lot of complicated songs and not just anyone can cover them, but that doesn’t mean they sound good.

I gotta give props to Lars and James, aside from some smack talk in the 80's, over 30 damn years ago, they always speak of Dave with respect, yet Dave constantly has to take jabs at Metallica in some way. I can understand why Dave was so bitter about getting kicked out, but after Metallica has tried to reconcile with him time and time again you'd think he could shut up about them. He's been back and forth about it for decades. Looking at interviews of Dave over the decades in general, he seems pretty all-over-the-place. Sometimes he's respectful, down-to-earth, and even says wise things now and then, but other times he's incredibly hostile and egotistical and says baffling things. I love Megadeth, but Dave is a real mixed bag. Though that's not to say the guys in Metallica have all been perfect, because no one is.

@samkornrumph8545 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I was watching a video from 1986 where Metallica went to a college radio station and answered phone calls from fans. Someone asked Lars about Dave/Megadeth and Lars said nothing but good things about Dave and how he was talking to Dave about Peace Sells, which hadn’t been released at the time. Dave’s awesome, but he seriously needs to stop complaining about getting kicked out of Metallica.

I like both bands. But when I'm playing their music, Megadeth is much more sophisticated. It's well known that Cliff Burton was the one with the musical guts and experimentation ideas. After he died, Metallica took what they learned up to that point and basically took it as far as they could then just kind of tweak it from there. The fact that there's so many Megadeth members means that there's a LOT of different things in Megadeth music. Not because Dave's some kind of genius, even though he kind of is, but because there's so many different skills that come in and out that the music can't help but evolve. It's not as inbred.

Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head about Bob rock after the black album. Like he did his job and then some on the black album that’s probably the best produced metal album of all time, I’m not saying it’s the best metal album but the production hard to find better than that. But I think that time that’s when they first met they really weren’t friends at the time he wasn’t worried about how they perceived him, he knew he was there to do a job and that was it. But then fast-forward 12 years later and they’re working on St. Anger ….. by that point he had been the only producer Metallica had worked with for 12 years. He was almost the fifth member of the band. Hell when Jason quit he just filled in as player until they found a permanent replacement. so I think that was too close to the guys to really do his job the best he could like he did when he first met them producing the black album.

@darkwizard545 Жыл бұрын

Interesting video but I disagree with the last part. The last 2 Megadeth albums are more interesting and less boring than Metallica last albums which contain many long boring songs. Dystopia and The Sick...have more musical depth. They combine thrashy elements and aggressive riffs with some dark melodic surprises (the instrumental "Conquer or Die" or the ambient "Poisonous Shadows", the first dramatic part of "Dogs of Chernobyl") and experimental songs that cannot be considered sell-out like "Mission to Mars" which changes from a melodic hard rock to speed/thrash thunder instrumental part. The 2 last Megadeth albums are less predictable and more inspired overall. And of course the riff of The "Threat is Real" is by no means the same with the riff of "We'll Be Back" although they seem similar in the beginning. Even "Endgame" album which is considered the most explosive Megadeth album of the 00s has its atmospheric moments of unpredictability mainly with "The Hardest Part of Letting Go...Sealed with a Kiss" song (with its Edgar Allan Poe theme). "The System Has Failed" album has also aged well and contains similar elements of surprise.

I think Metallica owned the 80s Megadeth was great but Metallica was epic Come the 90s and beyond Megadeth has been above par and consistent while Metallica has yet to inspire me with any album they’ve made post 1990 Was the black album good? Yes. But Countdown was better, and the rest of the Bob Rock era ranges from butt rock to being less enjoyable than a toilet flushing for 90 minutes. Are there missteps? Sure, but Risk has grown on me. The minute I hear snare on St Anger I question my life decisions in album choices. I appreciate Lulu over St Anger The saddest thing in all of this where Metallica is concerned is they now have one of the most talented bassists who ever lived and they still barely peak at decent minus Spit out the Bone If you listen to the first 4 albums Lars takes a lot of risks on the drums that pay off massively and Kirk really brings the solos. Since Bob Rock it feels more phoned in from those 2. My theory is they became huge with Bob so now they know they don’t have to work for it Slap Metallica on an album cover and you’re making money and getting the Grammy

I prefer Metallica since instead of sticking to the same thrash metal, they experimented with albums like Load, The Black Album, S&M and St. Anger (though st anger is mediocre, the rest are bangers). Megadeth have made a lot of thrash metal bangers, but they can't ever match Metallica's impressive ballads like The Unforgiven, One and The Day That Never Comes. Even this year Metallica has proved to be alive and well by delivering some of their best songs like Inamorata and Too Far Gone. I've still got to say that Megadeth's newest album is also one of their best and tops 72 Seasons in overall quality. Basically, Megadeth is more consistent with their style, and for that reason I prefer Metallica.

[By the summer of 1998, while the band was still touring in support of Cryptic Writings, Nick Menza was having knee problems and sought medical advice. He was informed he had a tumor, which was later found to be benign, and had it removed. Rather than cancel any dates, Megadeth hired Jimmy DeGrasso as a temporary replacement. When the time came to record a follow-up album, Menza was not asked back and DeGrasso became the band's official drummer. Menza has said in several interviews that, while in the hospital recovering from knee surgery, he received a phone call from Mustaine that simply said "Your services are not needed anymore".] I think it's true what Ellefson said about him. He tries to get revenge on metallica by doing to other people what was done to him, but he doesn't ever feel satisfied because he can't ever get back at the people that wronged him. Its the classic cycle of abuse. He could probably get help and grow as a person but he doesn't think there's anything wrong with him because he's a famous and successful musician, and he's always been kind of a narcissist. At the same time, he always felt like Metallica beat him, that's why he never could forgive them. Even though Megadeth sold millions of records, had immeasurable influence on the genre, won awards etc... Metallica were more famous, more successful, and had way more radio hits. Hearing them play on the radio all the time would drive someone like Mustaine nuts. He wanted to prove that they made a mistake of firing him but he never could, they did just fine without him. I love megadeth with all my heart, its better than metallica by a landslide, but Dave is a fucked up person.

very fair points but you did dystopia dirrrty, and the sick the dying and the dead too! though i feel the last megadeth album and the last metallica album both suffer from having intros t o o long, like boringly long.

I like it more MEGADETH. Until recently, I could not understand why METALLICA had changed since 1985, what was wrong with it. Been listening to Megadeth all this time, only now I understand why.

So i may get some flak for this, but i actually opened up to Risk. Lyrics wise it's more experimental in what Dave could explore and I'm surprised he hasn't done it again on at least one song in the newer stuff. Correct if I'm wrong though. The riffs do leave a lot to be desired but at least there's actual solos unlike St. Anger. Risk is an album i just pop in and let it play on repeat and help me reflect on life. St. Anger? Shit man you'd have to make me drunk to listen to it in full and even consider buying the CD. I genuinely can't listen to that album without wanting to bang my head against a brick wall in agony.

Dave would have eventually left after an album or two He would have just been too big for the band. And the personality clash would have just gotten worse. I mean we all seen him go through the drugs. It would have just been nice if once Dave got cleaned up they had all got together and made some new music.

The money Dave has enjoyed by having writing credits on Metallica albums is never mentioned in any interview. Come on Dave spit it out, just how much money have you made from those early songs?

Anthrax has aged very well. They have the best drummer of the big 4 and they seem like good guys.

Anthrax is good, but Exodus deserves that spot more than them.

Malcom Dome said it perfectly when he said "Metallica is as great as they are because of the sum of their parts, not because they are great musicians".

There's only one interview where James and Lars trash Dave and it's from 1983 right after Dave left. I'm sure if James and Lars ever heard what they said again they'd be really embarrassed honestly. They essentially call him a show off loser who doesn't really know how to play. Since it was right when Dave left the band, I can understand their ugliness and I can understand why it left such an impression on Dave too.

Honestly I really think a lot of it comes down to voice preference Might be a crazy take but if megadeth had a James Hetfield level singer they would’ve been bigger

If Bob dylans voice is Sand and glue Daves voice is wet copper. In my opinion Megadeth has better albums overall but Metallica is definitely the superior live band, they make more of a show, unlike Megadeths stripped down "let's get to business" approach. Daves voice shrivelled up like a Raisin (now having the power and technical integraty of a Gordon Ramsay grilled cheese) and aged like milk on an exposed balcony on a south american summer while James became more refined and melodic (and kinda goofy I am sorry). I like both bands, Megadeth may be my preferred one but Metallica also has great songs, they feel more like a Team while Megadeth is more like "Megadave and Friends". Megadeth in my opinion has higher highs and lower lows, the worst of Metallica is boring and underwhelming but the worst of Megadetg is insulting and embarrassing. Good video and congrats for the 6000 subs

Dave once hilariously referred to his own vocals as "the sound of cats fucking". Anyone who knows what Dave sounds like understands this, whether they happen to appreciate it or not. Peak James vs peak Dave is no contest because James was probably the best "heavy metal" singer ever when he was at his best. He had really great soft or clean vocals and nothing beat pissed off "Dyers Eve" era James. That said, post the black album I can barely stand James any more than Dave. In fact Dave manged to edge James out for a short window there. Then Dave and James kind of found their new homes next to each other in bad singer land.

I was honestly thinking this was going to be a James & friends video, in which all 4 of them talk this "debate" amongst them after all the facts. I'm sure it'd have been a much longer video if that were the case, though i can imagine the fun jabs each would take at each other & both bands (& well the members/eras of each band too). In all of this, I'm more a Megadeth fan than a Metallica fan, however, like many others, i feel Metallica was most of our introduction to the metal world. It's only after diving into metallica's history & early days was i introduced to Mustaine & Megadeth altogether. I prefer Deth's songs & overall musical composition, but I can't deny Metallica had a lot of musical abilities to them too (with Burton being classically trained, it brought a huge dynamic in their first 3 albums which grew stronger each album recorded). That said, Megadeth is the only band of the BIG 4, i haven't seen. Metallica, again, was the first of the 4 i saw (during their Death Magnetic tour). & saw Anthrax & Slayer at Heavy MTL festival (Montreal, Ca. outdoor fest over a weekend), & i'm not a slayer fan, but being it was their last show before retiring for good, i figured what the heck. Will i go see Megadeth if they came to Montreal? Nope, was offered the chance, & passed on it. So i guess, even though i'm more megadeth than metallica, it's only slightly over the line. It's not a mile long distance between both. As meh & bored i am of new metallica, i can appreciate their continued fun of playing music.

That could be interesting though I don't think Me, Caleb, and Nathan differ too much in opinion. And Drew isn't huge on either band.

Turning 49 today and I am a fan of both like you but lean a certain way. You did an excellent job reviewing both bands and all the things that happened along the way. I side with Dave, Garr and Marty.
