The "MegadethVsMetallica"

Yes. A very old topic. But still very much alive today. We have been debating a lot. Among friends and other forums. Don't get me wrong but my side has been always with Megadeth. Ever since I got introduced to Metal, its always been Megadeth.

So that no awkward questions arises as to why I am always with Megadeth, I'd like to clear it all. I have a friend(whom I am not at liberty to disclose his name as of now)who introduced me to Metal. He has always been a great fan of Megadeth and he gave me some audio cassettes. Megadeth was one of them, as you can imagine . Now, the first rock band I listened to was Petra, influenced greatly by my brother. But it was time to move on. Something heavier. Something more trashy. Megadeth answered the call. So, bottom line is I got into Megadeth from my friend.

Okhay! Now to the subject. I don't care what you think, or whether you're a Metallica fan. Megadeth rules. I have been inspired by Metal so much that I took up the guitar. And even though I'm not that good, I can pull of the riffs of most songs. Playing songs from both the bands, one can really know the difference, technical wise. What I'm saying is, the songs of Megadeth are far way harder then any of Metallica. One point for Megadeth.

My passion in music has attracted me to pretty awesome guitar players, who, may not have made it in the big time due to reasons beyond one's comprehension. But I have never met that one guy pulling of riffs and shredding solos, saying that Metallica is far off better than Megadeth. Bottom line, if you see someone shredding his a** off and pulling riffs like you've never seen before, don't ask him if he likes Metallica. You'll be lucky if he doesn't smash his guitar on your head. Two points for Megadeth.

Metallica, the biggest band in the world, why?? Because they are a bloody commercial, audience seeking bunch. Now, Megadeth hasn't earned much commercial success because, well, they don't care as much! Mustaine has always focused on what he believes and what he wants. And puts them in songs. Metallica on the other hand wants to be out there, be seen, be heard. And they did. They sway to the rythm of recording companies, coming out with more pop rock like albums. Thrash Metal band?? Hmm, I guess not anymore. Three points Megadeth.

So, my last comment is that I, as a true Metal fan, believes Megadeth is far more better and awesome then Metallica. The truth is, Metallica has always done okay. But Megadeth has been so awesome, regardless of what the rating says. I have met some hardcore fans of Metallica and they did say that St. Anger sucked big time. But I haven't heard a flopped Megadeth album to date. So, let me make this perfectly clear, Megadeth Rules!!!!!
