I love both equally, Metallica has things that Megadeth doesn’t and Megadeth has things that Metallica doesn't so long live both legends 🤘🏻💜

Songwriting: Megadeth are clearly more technically outrageous in terms of speed, precision and they did have some unique, unorthodox song structures on their early albums (I'm thinking of stuff like "Looking Down The Cross", "Wake Up Dead", "Set The World On Fire", etc). However, the epic song compositions of Metallica's early albums are pretty well unbeatable. Songs like Ktulu, Master Of Puppets, Orion, ...And Justice for All, One, etc are like Beethoven with electric guitars. They combine strong, hooky, verse/chorus structures with the twists and turns and dynamic shifts of prog rock, with runtimes that are self-indulgent without ever feeling boring. They also incorporated more and better sounding acoustic guitar parts. Just listening to the difference between "Mechanix" and "The Four Horsemen" illustrates my point about Metallica's creative imagination when it came to song arranging. Edge: Metallica. Lead Guitar: While Megadeth had a handful of guitarists who are vastly more skilled than Kirk Hammett (and truly some of the best in the biz), Kirk - for all the shit he takes - wrote some truly memorable and melodic guitar solos in his prime that really stick in the mind of the listener. Songs within songs, if you will. At his best, I think he gave Mustaine a clear run for his money. None the less, Mustaine is no slouch by any means and one cannot listen to the likes of Chris Poland and Marty Friedman without conceding that Megadeth's emphasis on the art of guitar soloing and the skill with which they applied it gives them a clear edge in this category. Edge: Megadeth. Drumming: Let's just cut to the chase - Every drummer Megadeth has ever had is better than Lars. LOL. I am sorry to say it so bluntly as I am not a religious Lars basher (his drumming is adequate, even sometimes unique and his contributions to Metallica as an arranger are highly underrated) but he is still the Ringo Starr of Thrash Metal. Haha. Edge: Megadeth. Bass guitar: This is another no brainer. Cliff Burton's musical genius cannot be overstated and both Jason and Rob have been on the same level with Ellefson in terms of general skill in my opinion, so it's Metallica hands down. Edge: Metallica Riffs: Running out of steam at this point so I will just make it brief. Both Mustaine and Hetfield are riff monsters. Mustaine's emphasis seems to be more on twisting, serpentine riffs that incorporate cool scales and catchy melodies into them. Hetfield is more of a brutish powerhouse in the vein of Tony Iommi, who uses meat and potatoes power chords with subtle but interesting variations on them to deliver the Metals. Too many examples to name but both have consistently delivered some of the best riffs in the genre. Edge: Tie. Just my opinion, so no one shoot me! Clearly I am big fan of both bands and always will be.

It's like I'm in a candy store and I can't make up my mind because there's so much going on in the song. It might just be Megadeth for me. And as a bonus, Dave has made albums with some of the best musicians to ever pick up an instrument/sticks.

I definitely prefer Megadeth. I used to prefer Metallica years ago, but then I started listening to Megadeth a lot more and realized that I really like them a whole lot better.

Metallica I heard first and loved them. I then heard Megadeth and I lost my shit! Metallica is simpler(not in a bad way) which explains why they are more popular because people respond to nursery rhymes and memorable hooks that get stuck in your head. Megadeth is musicians music for people that respond to interesting and ever changing themes that challenge the mind. Both are great but Megadeth for me is greater.

@Mr. MERCEDES 95 Are you actually saying that Metallica is not iconic? Now before I get into anything I need to say that I am not a Metallica fan. It just is a fact that Metallica is iconic. They are one of if not the most influential band to modern metal. Not to even talk about the amount of people they have inspired to start playing guitar. Sure you can hate on Lars and his Napster tantrum among other things but you cannot say that they aren't iconic.

I’m gonna be honest, megadeth shit is too hard for me sometimes, so i resorted to metallica, but then i realized some metallica songs, even though theyre somewhat easier than megadeth, really kick ass than the technical megadeth stuff. And to me by far, Fade to Black’s intro solo is one of the best solos ive listened to. (keeping it between these 2)

More technical doesn't mean more enjoyable.

I love them both but Metallica hits way too close to home to not be my favorite. Plus i think their riffs have a more thrash feel and i like their heavy signature guitar tones that i dont think anyone could pull of like they did. Also, Daves voice is kinda……….……yeah…

I imagine this is how choosing your favourite son or daughter feels like

It somewhat depends on my mood, but overall Megadeth has been my choice the past few years at least. In terms of writing melodic choruses I love the Youthanasia album especially. But Shred! How can we forget Chris Poland and his wildly unique right hand technique, his hyper-precise bends, and those jazz-infused lead lines?

Metallica: has a lot more songs that people know and like in and outside of the metal community. They are even used in movies(zombie land 1&2 intro, Xmen apocalypse ect.). Also Stage presence definitely goes to Metallica. Megadeth: Amazing band. More technical song writing. Id say more consistent with their style of music. Definitely deserve their place in metal history. I will always pick Metallica. Their music has been so important to me since i was very young. I think their energy and passion are more intense. Ive seen them numerous times over the past 20 years and they have always kicked ass. The band just kicks ass so hard. I still listen to them everyday and get hyped.

Megadeth for me by far. And a huge reason IS the vocals. I can't stand Hetfield's "eee-YAH" and I love Mustaine's gritting his teeth high-pitched snarl. I've always preferred odd singers, like Ian Anderson and Billy Corgan. Way more interesting and emotive.

Metallica for the riffs and Megadeth for their solos. Megadeth overall is more technical but both in no way are easy. Metallica has the ultra fast downpicking whereas Megadeth has many technical aspects. In the end I love both but if I had to pick one it would be Metallica

Megadeth for the win here, if you compare 1983 to 2013 area, for ex, youthanasia specially, what a bummer, you have to consider that Mustaine has wrote many on 1983 and the 1984 one. throw me some metal church or some testament, and I might still answer MEGADETH.

Metallica. Papa Hets riffs reign supreme.

If you've ever watched the interview uploaded in 2006 between Lars and Mustaine, you'd learn that Mustaine loved the rest of the group. He saw them as an extended family, but without a second chance he was removed from the band. He only ever had his mom and them. They got rid of him because he was an aggressive raging drunk, but instead of helping him they just got rid of him like a pest instead of a friend/brother. They had great chemistry, especially with the writing and shows during the early 80's. I don't like to compare the two because they're both equally as great. Before anyone makes the argument: "Well Mustaine broke dreams and kicked band members out also"... Remember, he gave them not only second chances, but MULTIPLE chances. He didn't want them to experience what he had experienced, but it got to a point where no matter the amount of chances they wouldn't change. To this day Mustaine has incredible skills while playing live. Not to discredit Lars' or Kirk's skills, over the years their skills have depreciated and created some infamous failures. Even as a band they experienced failures/quality drops later on due to this lack of practice and chemistry. (Good examples would be their albums St. Anger and Lulu). In most recent live shows where Metallica had invited people from Kill Em All such as Dave Mustaine, they had clicked with increased speed and excitement. The chemistry hadn't been better in years. So before anyone makes a "Metallica vs Megadeth" or "James vs Mustaine" or any comment that revolves around a half-assed opinion or comment around WHY things happened in the band and how people's personalities are, do your research you dumb fucks. Thank you.

So yea the talent was hetfield but after cliff schooled him on writing harmonies and note choice it improved his writing from basic thrash. James was always the talent, cliff was the soul

I love both bands, but if I have to choose, I prefer Megadeth, Dave wrote amazing riffs (and some solo too) and his voice fits well with his songs, Marty's style blows my mind and Poland's too (his tone is even more unique IMO). Gar and Nick were amazing, Junior is a good bassist (nothing outstanding IMO, but I still like him) and the rest of member were at least good, but these are special to me.

While I agree with Megadeth's technical and compositional superiority, I choose old Metallica over them because Mustaine's vocals always sound like an angry muppet (to me.) I love when he shuts up and riffs, but when lyrics resume, the music dives (for me as a listener.) Next, Cliff Burton had some intangible greatness that made his era of Metallica legendary. (Rip, Cliff) Megadeth put out album after album in direct competition, and Metallica always out sold. Then they sold out... Then they actually made enough money to buy their souls back, and Hammet had enough cash left to buy The Peter Green/Gary Moore 59 Les Paul, (and that guitar is cooler than all the forefounders of thrash put together, imo) Megadeth can't claim many such impressive feats. ...still, if Mustaine beats cancer, I'll give Megadeth the win, cuz...shiz.

James Hetfield has been the riff-master in ONE of the greatest thrash bands of all time, Dave Mustaine’s been the riff-master in BOTH.

man, more videos like this, hahahaha, a fan from Venezuela!

The chunk on that "ahhh" at the beginning tells me you have a spectacular growl.

"Holy Wars? More like Holy Shit!" - truth

In 1989 I would've had a tough call, but in 2021 I think Megadeth has more metal street cred, whereas Metallica has more mainstream appeal. I'm going with Megadeth for the same reason. Mustaine is the best songwriter of anyone in both bands, and that chip he's carried around on his shoulder has kept that Megadeth edge.

Song wise it's always Metallica for me, feels like I know em more than most people over the years. Songs like Fixxxer, Outlaw Torn, That Was Just Your Life are really fun to play for later Metallica songs.
