In my opinion Megadeth are better, easily. Megadeth's lyrics are better, more important, and less silly. I prefer Mustaine to Hetfield anyday as a guitarist and singer. Especially on soloing, Mustaine destroys Hetfield.

Megadeth were also able to consistently release good to very good albums, while 'Tallica dried up after the Black album.

I think the old metallica albums are some of the best albums ever made, so I voted metallica.

Megadeth never made quite as good albums as those, on the other hand they never made such crappy albums as st.anger

Rust in Peace? Peace Sells... But Who's Buying (Best metal album ever)?

Metallica is the best band ever!

When Dave sings it sound like "iiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhhh" and its sound bad as hell most of the time!

And Daves lyrics often are kinda bad but James lyrics has allways been good and Metallica allway buts out good albums Load and ST Anger fucking rocks!! Have you even heard Mama Said ore Until It Sleeps :huh:

So you think that James lyrics are bad then take a look at this

Welcome to where time stands still

no one leaves and no one will

Moon is full, never seems to change

just labeled mentally deranged

Dream the same thing every night

I see our freedom in my sight

No locked doors, No windows barred

No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see

that dream is my reality

They keep me locked up in this cage

can't they see it's why my brain says Rage

and this

Build my fear of what's out there

and cannot breathe the open air

Whisper things into my brain

assuring me that I'm insane

They think our heads are in their hands

but violent use brings violent plans

Keep him tied, it makes him well

he's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in

Listen, damn it, we will win

They see it right, they see it well

but they think this saves us from our hell

and if you think that Daves lyrics are so good then take a look at this

I sneak in my own house

It's four in the morning

I had too much to drink

Said I was out with the boys

I creep in my bedroom

I slip into bed,

I know if I wake her,

I'll wake up dead

I wonder, will she find out,

About the other, other lover.

Diana.

Wake up dead, you die

Wake up dead, and buried.

Wake up dead, you die

Wake up dead.

and thats the lyric for a hole song :rolleyes:

I like his voice. It's a more classical voice, James' voice is a lot deeper and more suited for heavier music, but I think Dave's just a stronger vocalist. Kinda sounds a bit like Steve Tyler and Axl in a way.

I think that it just sounds bad.

But his voice sounds cool in Holy Wars, Hangar 18 and A Tout Le Monde ;)

I didn't say they were bad at all! 'Tallica are a great metal band and if they come over here or even to B.C. I'd go see them in a heartbeat, but Megadeth's political lyrics are really great. And those lyrics you posted are pretty average, but they're not really shit or anything.

RIDE THE FUCKING LIGHTNING

Guilty as charged

But damn it, it ain't right

There is someone else controlling me

Death in the air

Strapped in the electric chair

This can't be happening to me

Who made you God to say

"I'll take your life from you!!"

Flash before my eyes

Now it's time to die

Burning in my brain

I can feel the flame

Wait for the sign

To flick the switch of death

It's the beginning of the end

Sweat, chilling cold

As I watch death unfold

Consciousness my only friend

My fingers grip with fear

What I am doing here?

Flash before my eyes

Now it's time to die

Burning in my brain

I can feel the flame

Someone help me

Oh please God help me

They are trying to take it all away

I don't want to die…

Someone help me

Oh please God help me

They are trying to take it all away

I don't want to die…

Time moving slow

the minutes seem like hours

the final curtain call I see

how true is this?

Just get it over with

if this is true, just let it be

Wakened by horrid scream

Freed from this frightening dream

Flash before my eyes

now it's time to die

Burning in my brain

I can feel the flame

Awesome lyrics, but will you read what I'm saying? I just think Megadeth are a better band, and there's no reason to go around posting lyrics and filling up the thread with nonsense.

It's not nonsense it's lyrics that is better then the ones in Megadeth :P

Geting mad?

I think And Justice For All, Puppets and Ride The Lightning are better than Megadeth's best work. Metallica's "classic" albums are some of the greatest metal albums of all time.

Megadeth, however, have been more consistent - The System Has Failed shat all over St Anger... and with the exception of Risk (:confused:) , I love all their albums.

So I think Metallica peaked higher... oldschool Metallica topped oldschool Megadeth. If we're talking present day terms though, Megadeth definately.

Oh, and St Anger wasn't that bad, really. It's just different. I like the gritty feel to it.

Old Metallica up to and including the Black Album is untouchable. They weren't just metal, man. Fucking classical insanity with the most beautiful melodies ever. If Beethoven was a contemporary musician, he would have joined Metallica.

I can almost picture it now......Beethoven bitching about napster :lol:

I pretty much agree with this post.

Metallica were stone cold, everything they put out in the 80s was spectacular. I can listen to Muddy Waters or some shit and go straight to Metallica, it's that pure. Some Megadeth is fucking ridiculous, songs like "Lucretia" may rock hard, but they belong at a Halloween party. In terms of musicianship, Megadeth might better Metallica, but the material just wasn't as good.
