Back in the day, I favoured Metallica but did really enjoy Megadeth’s 1992 album, Countdown To Extinction.
Nowadays, I enjoy them both, although the earlier albums.
Disclaimer…..just a bit of fun, not meant to divide and conquer  |

Metallica here too, although nothing really good since 91’s black album, I would say though that Mustane has stayed truer to his roots….. it’s actually a tough call, but yeah early Metallica for me  |

Madness to even ask. God level v noisy workout at Basingstoke working man’s club.
Metallica.
I used to like megadeth. Right up to realising mustaine is a card carrying GOP bigot political nazi wanker. |

Metallica all the way.
Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman are probably two of the greatest songs ever written.
That said, given all the different versions of "Nothing Else Matters" it's hard to pick the best one lol |

With regards the politics i don't think much in it really between the 2 singers of the bands. (Hetfield is into trophy hunting and is pro torture as regards american foreign policy also.)
So, for me, going by music alone, I think "rust in peace" is probably the best megadeth album and i think "& justice" is the best metallica album, but i personally like rust in peace more.
So I'd vote megadeth.
(I saw megadeth on the rust in peace tour -& pantera opened for them.)

Metallica by a long way
Seen them live 7 times
Met them twice
Building a replica of the famous 90s drum kit
I do like Megadeath but I'd rather listen to Machine Head, Slayer, Slipknot etc |

You know when someones personality over shadow's anything they do?
Its that for me with both bands.
Bunch of misrable whiners my opinion of course.
After reading motley crues book the hate between those bands is hilarious. |

"Imagine how good Metallica could have been if Cliff Burton hadn't died, Sepultura for me after discovering Schizophrenia"
I have often pondered that very same 'what if?' question if Cliff had lived and also if Mustaine had stayed...
Of course both bands have had stellar careers, especially Metallica. But the mind boggles at what could have been. |

Newsted is an amazing bassist but Cliffs best work was Orion on master of puppets . Such a shame Cliff died when he did |

Metallica for me.
Master of puppets is one of the best albums ever. Every track is a winner.
Megadeth's Rust in Peace, is a great album. Holy wars is a technical masterpiece. |

I love Metallica but I WISH Vinnie Paul from Pantera had played drums for them instead, god rest his bones... that would have been class. As a drummer I'm not a fan of Lars when he plays slow. early stuff is incredible though. |

"Neither....SLAYER!"
Easily one of the most powerful live bands I have ever experienced. A difficult choice of Clash of the titans @ docklands arena (destroyed by Slayer and Sepultura) London Astoria (RIP), Download, Odeon wiping the floor with Slipknot. All were amazing gigs. |

Orion was the track that got me into Metallica,remember hearing it on the Friday Rock Show with the late great Tommy Vance,Master of Puppets is there best album,Peace Sells for Megadeth |

"Kirk Hammett is a more inventive and technical guitarist than Dave Mustaine in my opinion and Hetfields vocals also blow Mustaines away too
What about Hammett compared to Friedman though "
Kirk Hammett is very basic compared to Friedman, different leagues |

Friedman any day of the week!!!
And Megadeth over Metallica, as a guitarist the dream team albums are tough to top.
That being said, neither once the newer stuff is involved. Newest albums i listen to are Cryptic Writings for Megadeth and Puppets for Metallica |

Not really ever got into either of them and of the 2 the only one I have ever seen live was Megadeth.
They were 4th down on the bill (above Guns'n'Roses though) and the only standout moment was them doing a cover of 'Anarchy in the UK' by the Sex Pistols. |

Since Load was released I have only heard snippets of Metallica and the only thing I've liked was the performance they did with Lady Gaga at some awards ceremony.
Megadeth on the other hand have been much more consistent and have seen them a few times.
I'll stick with Dave & co. |

I used to really like Metallica first three or four albums and justice for all then I think they were really crap and commercial , and that whole Napster thing. Never rarely been a fan of Megadeath or Dave Mustane, but quite liked anthrax, nuclear assault, testament, slayer |

They've both got their own appeal.
As I'm getting older I'm finding myself more intrigued by other thrash giants like Slayer & Machinehead.
I think one of the most moving things I've heard is Dave Mustaine admitting how much getting kicked out of 'tallica haunts him especially as it meant he felt unable to even speak to Lars for over a decade |

Metallica became a just another rock band after Justice and lost their edge.
Peace Sells...., and So Far.... absolutely slayed! Now Dave Mustaine is a born again Christian.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the bad guy.
Cliff Burton is in his denims, spinning in his grave.

"My vote, Metallica
But...
Don't know if anyone knows this but Mustaine was in Metallica for a while.... Yes Dave, we know, you say it at least once in every interview ever.   "
I knew i recognised him from somewhere  |

Metallica sort of peaked around '88-'91. Don't get me wrong I like their music around that time...
Megadeth have been much more consistent.
For everyone saying Mustaine is a nasty piece of work the same can also be said for Lars Ulrich. ALL of Megadeths drummers have been better than Ulrich.
Fun fact the great Les Claypool tried out for Metallica after Burton died. Hetfield said you are too good for this band, which is also true. |
