Metallica vs. Megadeth: Music Showdown


we’re here right fans have argued for
decades about which of thrash metals
big4 reign supreme
welcome to watchmojo.com and in this
installment of vs. we pit Metallica
against Megadeth to find out which is
the better thrash metal band round one
the tunes then and now complex
instrumentals and Dave Mustaine volatile
words make tracks like symphony of
destruction metal classics while albums
like countdown to extinction and rust in
peace stay true to the Megadeth sound
the electro tinged risk was a dark spot
on the catalogue but today’s Megadeth
remains a metal force while Metallica’s
accused of selling out this is James
from Metallica survey says you need cash
as Megadeth speed and intensity remain
unchanged the same can’t be said for
Metallica track their brand of heavy
metal swerves all over the road
but with highs like the Black Album
Master of Puppets
and injustice for all Metallica’s best
is still better than Megadeth’s so that
gives them the edge because let’s face
it Bing
matter
winner we’re sorry Megadeth Metallica is
flat-out better than you so hard to
watch everything that you guys do and
you touch turn to gold and everything I
do
backfire round two the lineups since the
band’s inception in 1983 Megadeth has
seen a revolving line up with
unpredictable founder and former
Metallica acts man Dave Mustaine the
only constant rain site is always 20/20
back still beat Plus but the rotating
cast has been an impressive one that’s
included bassist Dave Ellison drummer
Nick Menza and guitarist Marty Friedman
who’d previously collaborated with the
legendary Jason Becker in cacophony
by comparison Metallica has remained
consistent that stability comes from
founding members James Hetfield and Lars
Ulrich as well as longtime lead
guitarist Kirk Hammett together Hetfield
and Hammett form one of the best one-two
guitar punches and heavy metal music
while deceased bassist Cliff Burton was
one of the greats winner with
consistency and raw talent in their
corner
Metallica leaves Megadeth on a countdown
to extinction
round three metal cred Metallica began
as the bellwether of no-nonsense
heavy-metal but after plunking acoustic
guitars and to ride the Lightning’s fade
to black or gasp pursuing a more
mainstream sound Metallica’s fickle fans
lost it you guys like the old shit huh
the Lou Reed collab Lulu also called
their metal cred into question because
the result of risk-taking in music is if
people love it you’re a genius
otherwise you’re crazy worship question
but Megadeth is a member of the big four
for reason
they’re influential and consistently
badass however they’re on the risk was
just that which sounds bordering on
electronic dance and disco they
definitely lost credibility points when
that came out under the Megadeth banner
but even so it was a mistake Albin pure
and simple which puts them over the top
in this category
winner Metallica maybe the forefathers
but by staying true to themselves and
thrash metal Megadeth crushes up
round pour controversy every village has
its asshole and you’re it see that’s
what happens when cousins from the
beginning
Metallica turfs Mustaine for alleged
alcohol abuse and a bad attitude
resulting in a longtime feud between him
Ulrich and Hetfield which was later
settled
I mean people hate me because of you but
that doesn’t mean the stains mellowed
whether he’s refusing to play some songs
because of his newfound Christian faith
you know you see people do you think did
you say red he’s got a goatee and a
pointy tail and stuff like that he
doesn’t he’s very beautiful or claiming
President Obama staged mass shootings to
pass gun control laws he’s perpetually
nutty I don’t know where I’m gonna live
if America keeps going the way it’s
going because it looks like this to me
to not see America tough to top that but
somehow Metallica did it they’re not
conspiracy theorists but it’s obvious
Fame has gone to their heads
based on the infighting power struggles
and scandal involving Hetfield alaric
Jason Newsted etc you’re just sitting
here being a complete dick not to
mention the Napster thing and the flack
they got for going mainstream you know
what maybe I won’t have to whore myself
out if you kids didn’t steal my music
whoa
winner Metallica are the kings of st.
anger so Megadeth win since Mustaine is
the only extreme member
round five impact and influence
with 50 million albums sold and the
popular Gigantor festival to their name
Megadeth is definitely significant to
thrash metal
but Metallica has penetrated to become
one of the most influential acts in any
genre
they’re the best-selling heavy metal
band ever with over 100 million total
album sales the tours are always mammoth
successes not to mention they expanded
the realm of thrash metal and inspired
bands like Korn Trivium and Machine Head
also without Metallica there’d be no
Megadeth
winner Metallica is the master of
puppets’ and the master of round five
thanks to their unparalleled impact
I guess these things just went down in
value if we can win one I guess anybody
can uh-oh call them overrated sellouts
or over the hill at a score of three to
two metallica leaves Megadeth sweating
bullets we take a very nice fallacy to
thank you
while Mustaine and his mates have
released kick-ass tracks for decades
there is no denying Metallica’s
influence during their heyday and it’s
for that reason that Metallica will
never fade to black
