Best thrash band ever? Cardi B., of course.
Out of the songs provided here, I have to go with Metallica for this contest. "A Tout Le Monde" is an alright song, but it simply isn't the iconic masterpiece that NEM has become–though the duet version with Cristina Scabbia (of Lacuna Coil) is pretty good.
In general, however, I prefer to listen to Megadeth. The diversity they create from album to album is insane. While there's always a thrash basis, Dave has broken out of that mold so many times–in great ways–where Metallica has mostly stuck to a slightly more formulaic pattern. Of course any band will change over the course of 40 years, but 'Deth feels like they've taken more chances that actually worked, whereas when Metallica tried to break out of their proverbial box they were panned. As they say, the higher you climb, the farther you have to fall.
Good songwriting is way more than scales and modes and other music theory elements.
Sorry bro. You are way too high. Megadeth is the winner, hands down. Dave was involved in many of Metallicas best songs and kept it heavy way, way longer than the sellout years that Metallica entered beginning with the black album. But by all means keep hitting that wap juice! Lol
I prefer Metallica to Megadeth, but Megadeth has more better albums then Metallica simply because Dave is more prolific. But i do like the last couple of Metallica albums more then the last couple of Megadeth albums. Mostly because I dislike the midern production of Megsdeths last 2 albums. Dave has those same fixed in the studio vocals that Ozzy has. I honestly felt the last Megadeth album was just a guitar wank fest. Where as James vocals sound better now then in the 90s. Metallicas production is better, after the shitty Death Magnetic production, but Metallica needs to stop making long, bloated albums/songs that keep me from repeat listens
Master of Metallica
Megadeth easy win.
The real thrash band in every multiverse.
Megadeth it's just Metallica has a lot more radio songs
Just look at the record sales. Metallica is #1 and its not even close.
Rust in peace
Kirk penthatonic Hammett🤣
Love Tallica but MegaDave All Day 🤘🤘🤘
Honestly i prefeer you to gives thoose first songs to Megadeth, but definetivily no way any song in trash metal History can beat Metaliica's Master of Puppetes.. but i respect it..Tornado of Soul is a great song and has a better guitar solo by far!!!
As a kid I would've said Metallica. These days I like modern Megadeth much more than modern Metallica. But both have some great stuff. It is possible to love both, contrary to popular belief in 2024.
Let’s be real Metallica fell off after the black album and megadeth stayed somewhat consistent. I mean just look at both bands most recent albums. Megadeths out preforms nowadays
Sorry I don't feel Megadeth. I never did.
Metallica for sure
Metallica > Slayer > Megadeth
Megadeth has better guitar solos and riffs but metallica better songs
Both are pretty bad. The bar for music is so much higher. Popular bands just aren’t that good to me. I liked them both in high school. Then I grew up.
Slayer
Megadeth
Metallica has:
Kill ‘em All
Ride the Lighting
Master of Puppets
Black Album
Megadeth has:
Rust in Peace
To any random Megadeth fan who comes to mention any other album: they might be good, but not in the level of Rust in Peace
Best songs, Metallica. Best music, Megadeth.
Well firstly, you can't go wrong with either, it's like deciding which of your balls you like better. Both have multiple great albums and tons of great songs, so the question of who has better songs really becomes more a matter of choice. The difference to me is in the construction of the music, and mostly the guitar work. The rhythm guitar for both bands is outstanding, Dave and James are both absolute monsters. The difference is the lead play. While Kirk has written some nice solos, he keeps it relatively simple. The usual scales/picking and the ever present Wah. I prefer the more exotic and complex solos done by the various Megadeth guys, Marty in particular. Ashes in Your Mouth is one of my fav songs and has a killer solo.
At least you dont have a guitar with a swaztika or Rebel flag on it….
Look, if you like Megadeth, great
Talk about Megadeth then
I'm putting an end to this battle. Megadeth is better. Metallica hasn't even put out a good album in over 25 years.
Both have good guitar parts, groovy, fun to play, both good
