Megadeth or Metallica???

Well, which do you prefer???

I'm personally a Megadeth guy

I think Megadeth is much more technical which I generally like about Thrash and Heavy Metal, technicality. Also Megadeth wouldn't play regae if it would fill their pockets , they stick to who they are.

Overall I would say Megadeth.
Metallica was awesome the first 4 albums and then just went down in a nice steady rate until they became awful.
Megadeth is overall more steady.
Made some less then average albums but overall still good even today.

Can't argue with this. I'd say that at their best Metallica were better, but overrall Megadeth are better.

Metal Church is my fav thrash band though.

well my brother is maniac with i disappear and Some kind of monster
Metallica sell more in wider market and manage to re event their image
but
Megadeath are more loyal to their kind and have many fan in smaller range
but always there will be the i hate metallica band ( i think)
so i say metallica

I say Metallica, when they were in their prime they were plain out amazing. Master of Puppets is still my favorite metal song, followed by For Whom the Bell Tolls. I do agree Metallica has fallen into a steady slope of crap and it's my opinion they need to grow out their hair and start drinking again, then all of our problems will be fine.

Neither

Metallica

Master of Puppets!!!!!!!!!!!!!

80s metallica From Black Album onwards metallica just sucks
Megadeth on the other hand endured as good old trash but it won't be as creative in their whole career as Metallica was in just five albums(The first ones)

obviusly many die hard fans will say that metallica sold out and megadeth don't but we are no talking about credibility we are talking about wich one is the best

I say Metallica simply for Master of Puppets, you just cant beat that.

I prefer Megadeth, their style just appeals to me more overall, I guess, although Metallica has some awesome bits.

I also have the never ending hope that Metallica shall return to it's former glory. I don't think Megadeth is gonna make a reappearance anytime soon.

Well, Metallica's in the studio now if I'm not mistaken, and this album's supposed to be their best in 20 years from what I've heard. I'm not THAT excited about it as I'm more of a Megadeth guy, I'm more excited about what it will do to the Thrash community, because if any of you guys have noticed, Thrash is making a HUGE revival right now - not the crappy modern stuff - plain THRASH! - Tight pants, Hi Top Basketball Shoes, bullet belts, denim

Check out these guys on myspace, they all fairly new revival groups:
Municipal Waste - East Coast crossover Thrash (WICKED funny btw!)
Warbringer - Bay Area Thrash
Evile - UK-Based Bay Area-Style Thrash - These guys are touring with Megadeth!
Wolf - Swedish-Style NWOBHM!!!

Doubt it, I remember that they played 2 of the new songs during a concert and it was recieved so badly that they had to remove them off the setlist(still haven't put them back either).
Most of the blame for Metallica's demise I think is because of Bob Rock.
Seriously, look at their movie "some kind of monster", they create one of the worst songs I have ever heard(temptation) and does this guy say "guys, that sucked so badly that I wanna cut off my ears because of it" ?? No, instead he encourage them.
Gladly they got rid of him but instead they got Rick Rubin *sigh*.
They need a pure metal producer like Peter Tägtgren or something, not these semi "I'm metal during the weekends" type of guys.

Tägtgren's producing is awful.

I SO hate the "I" and Hypocrisy's Virus, you won't believe it! xÜ

Municipal Waste is killer. Warbringer is awesome. You forgot Avenger of Blood and Merciless Death.

As for the original question. I prefer Megadeth. Even their 'nu-Metallica' sounding albums (which were not that good) sounded better than Metallica's like albums.

I could care less for the bands at present though. I don't listen to anything post-Master of Puppets because it isn't good. ...and Justice for All? Come on people that album is garbage. And Megadeth up to Countdown to Extinction.

Whatever. Too many Metallica sheep in this thread.

I vote for metallica

Megadeth are a great band, but the albums that they released after "Countdown to Extinction" (With the exception of the new album, which is actually pretty good) sucked in a massive way. But then, every Metallica album after "..And justice for all" also sucked, so I guess they are both equal in that department.

Also, Dave Mustaine is now a Christian Fundamentalist idiot, and I find his recent lyrics to be full of xenophobic, religious crap. (ironic, since on earlier Megadeth albums he was always against that sort of stuff)

I patiently await the new Metallica album, in the hope that they can still write decent material. The signs so far are pretty good, so perhaps we'll actually get a decent record out of them.

Amerikhastan (Or whatever the **** its called) Is a long way from Peace sells. + rep. *


Anyways, I'll take Metallica. They like Megadeth have suffered a decline, but their early stuff is far better then Megadeth's materia.

EDIT: * Actually, re-reading the lyrics puts the meaning somewhat in doubt.

If you heard some of their other new stuff, James Hetfields been using this 'harmonized' yelling voice. He apparently met with some opera dude who told him that it will help him have a better voice when he's older. It kind of kills that metallica feel of him just yelling his balls off, but maybe it was just a couple songs.
