The age old question

[Peter_20]

Metallica owned any other metal band during the 80's.
Heck, they were compared to AC/DC!

People who hate them now definitely never heard about the pre-90's Metallica.
I mean, seriously, "Fade To Black"? "For Whom the Bell Tolls"?
"Master of Puppets"? "Orion"?

...ad infinitum.
Those songs are just a chosen few of all their old classics.

I own some of Metallica pre-90's discs, and I still think Megadeth is best. Sorry

This is a very. very typical scenario in my hometown:

X: Ah, "Nothing Else Matters" is alright, but the rest sucks. Heard it all.
Peter_20: Oh, fine. Just wondering, ever heard the song "Hit the Lights"?
X: No.
Peter_20 "Fade To Black", then?
X: Nope.
Peter_20: "Master of Puppets"?
X: No... ehm...?
Peter_20: "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)"?
X: No...
Peter_20: It's METALLICA SONGS!

And so on. :rolleyes2

But that's not true everywere, I have to say. I really like The four horsemen, Creeping death, Harvester of sorrow, Seek and destroy, Phantom lord, but for me they are not better than Megadeth, and even some of my friends have heard some of them, but they still don't like Metallica. Oh, and I will not post again here. I smell an opinion fight and I don't care about it.

Get over it guys, they're both crap. The ultimate winner is:

I have heard all of those and still think Metallica sucks. They were never good or even halfway decent.

Megadeth is the opposite. I refuse to listen to them based solely on the stupid name they have given themselves.

If they couldn't figure it out back in 1437 there's no way we'll ever figure it out now.

I think Metallica's first three albums were their best: Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets. Everything after that was pretty much hit or miss song wise with me. But those first three were great albums all around imho.

[Laddy]

They both suck.

[Momiji]

They both suck.

QFT.

[Enjolras]

I don't reckon Metallica have made an all round good album since Master of Puppets. Their later albums have a few decent songs, but overall are pretty crap. Except for St.Anger, which is totally crap (I gave it to my brother in exchange for a can of coke. Still feel like I ripped him off.).

I'm a Tool fan anyway.

[El Bandito]

I like my metal over-the-top and leathery. Yay Iron Maiden!
