Well, That was the first thing good that dave mustaine has done. Without
getting kicked out there would be no megadeth.

Megadeth is not a copy of metallica. The two bands sound different.
Lyrically, Megadeth imho is about a million times better than metallica.

: MEGADETH SUCKS MEGADETH SUCKS MEGADETH SUCKS MEGADETH SUCKS

Musically. Being a guitar player myself, Liking both metallica and Megadeth
I can say you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Now...
Take this for example. Dave Mustaine is in the same position as James
hetfield. He really isnt there to add solos unless he feels like he needs to.
Marty Freidman is there for that. Now. If you take any solo that james
hetfield has made, listened to it, and any solo Dave Mustaine has made,
listened to it. You would see the different styles. Now, if you were to
attempt to play the James Hetfield solo<lol>, You would probably be able
to do it quite easily. If you were to attempt to do a Mustaine solo, I
think you would #1 have a problem with it, and #2 respect him much more.

Now, I'm not talking about Youthanasia crap that everyone tends to
associate with Megadeth and Solos and Music, Sure, youthanasia is
probably one of the better megadeth albums musically, but yes, it sucks.
But you know what, Metallica's new album is even worse from what I've
heard of it. Listen to Peace Sells, So Far So Good So What and Rust In
Peace <most likely this album>, And compare the styles, You cannot say
that megadeth is a metallica clone, <you couldnt anyways, the first few
metallica albums they used alot of crap dave mustaine wrote to complete
songs, dave was one of em at first too, created their style> they have
their own very distinct style, and heh. They can actually play their
songs correct live without any problems whatsoever.
Any problems with this, Keep it to yourself

Ohh dude, Metallica's lyics now adays have the word Yeah Yeah and
even more Yeah Just listen to Sandman or Wolf and Man!. While DAVE'S
lyics in the 90's are much more deep, grapic and uses big words that I
don't even understand.

It's not as though he got "kicked" out of Metallica. It's not like they
are "copying" Metallica. If you knew anything about the early years,
you'd know that Dave Mustaine wrote a lot of it. So they had their
differences, their own opinions. Obviously by your comment you have your
own opinion as well.

For the record, they are both equally great.

Don't get me wrong, I like Megadeth a lot, but Metallica are light years
ahead. Hetfield is the best metal rhythm guitarist in the world, bar
none. Although Megadeth are more technical than Metallica, Metallica are
much better song writers than 'Deth.

You must be kidding. Think about it for a second and then read the
words to a Metallica song and then a Megadeth song. There is a
distinct difference, but saying that one is a better song writer over
the other is crazy. They are different types of band and I truely
enjoy both. However, the lyrics which Megadeth produces makes me think
(Family Tree, Thought I Knew.. from Youth). Youth was lyrically a
great CD and the music was flawless, although not a "fast" as some
would have liked.

Metallica will always be a good band, but something has happended to
them. I can't pinpoint it, but I think they are concentrating on
having fun. Which is just fine, if you produce music consistently and
regularly. I feel that Megadeth strives to be better musicians so CDs
come out regularly. Megadeth has produced 3 good albums in the past
six years, while Metallica has produced 1. You must take that into
consideration.

If you ask me who I listen to, I will tell you that I prefer Megadeth
because of the uniqueness of the music and the constant influx of CDs
from them. I will buy the new Metallica and probably enjoy it, but
then, over the next six years (1996+), I will listen to the new
Megadeth albums (next album est. Winter 1996) while waiting on the
newest Metallica CD (est. year 2002).

Not equal. Metallica is better. They're just slow about putting out new

I'm thinking about something... Lead guitarists usually are better then
Rythm guitarists, right? Why the hell was Dave the lead guitarist if he
wasn't better then Jaymz! Jaymz is bar none NOT the best. Marty Friedman
is leaps and bounds better then Jaymz, Dave and Kirk... Just listen to one
of his solo CDs.

I really think the riffs on the last Metallica CD sucked bigtime. Really
short and plain. I was listening to Sad But True on the radio...

I disagree. Mustaine, Scott Ian (Anthrax), and Spike Cassidy (D.R.I.) are
all better than Hetfield. And Metallica's song-writing dropped about ten
notches on their self-titled album. Sure, it compares with the stuff
from the first album, but they had advanced WAY beyond that on Puppets
and Justice, so doing all those simple songs when they knew how to do
much better just doesn't cut it for me.

> I'm thinking about something... Lead guitarists usually are better then

Not necessarily. Lead guitarists are better solo players, and rhythm
guitarists are better at playing rhythms (case in point: Mustaine had to
teach Friedman how to play better rhythm).

I totally disagree that the above metioned guitarists are better rhythm
players than Hetfield. Hetfield produces pure genious when he plays, he
plays stuff so unique, that I don't think Mustaine has the ingenuity to
come up with it.

I haven't done this Usnet thing for ages, so I got this bit of the message from a RE
(as you can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>see) but I had to reply to it:

What the hell is up your arse? MetallicA have sold metal down the tubes, while Deth
are sticking to their guns and taking us into the next century (well, kinda, that
sounds good!). I don't know what you think, but MetallicA's attempt to become popular
is just making me sick! Their new hair-do's are just stupid, and as for this whole
country-music thing... I'm at a loss. Their Donnington performance was dire (I didn't
go, although I tried, but I got it on the Radio) and the next album will just be
crap. I think that Mustaine was luck to get out when he did, well, he coulda left it
till after Justice I guess....

I cannot see how someone can even compare Hetfield to Mustaine. Metallica
has always been stuck on 3 string chords and open E palm muting. I cant
even think of a metallica song that I've found creative. Sure, some of
them rock, but nothing after Master (after cliff died) has been worth a
damn musically. It seems cliff brough a lot of influence into tht band and
they've lost it since then. not to knock your favorite band,
metallicaboys, but There is now way in hell hetfield is better. Ever hear
how low they have his guitar live? He must fuck up a hell of alot while
playing. Megadeth have always tried to stray away from the basic chords
that most bands are stuck with today, They always put out a rocking song
(with the exception of the glammy type songs on Youthanasia ex: elysian
fields) but besides that they've brought a lot to me musically. Another
point to make, Go look at some megadeth tab, I'm not talking about
Symphony or shit of youthanasia, go look at some Rust in Peace, So Far So
Good So What and Peace Sells tab, check out how complicated that is, Go to
a Megadeth show, and hear them reproduce that sound almost perfectly live.
It's amazing how they do it, I couldnt play 2 hours of Megadeth faster
than live recording straight through while singing, but its amazing.
Mustaine writes almost 100% of Megadeth's music and he can rip off a solo
too =).

You can as complex as you want to be, but it all comes down to
SONGWRITING, and Hetfield blows away Mustaine, it's no contest! Mustaine
sucks at soloing, listen to Master of Puppets, Orion, or My Friend of
Misery, those solos have more emotion in them than Mustaine ever had in
all his writing in his entire career! As far as speed is concerned, who
do you think came out on top when Hammett, Hetfield and Mustaine would
have a downpicking jam when Mustaine was still a part of Metallica? You
guessed it, The Almighty Hetfield!

Yeah, Dave made the band, I think that what you said was crap on Youth coulda been

Your hero Hetfield! He spent most of his Metal Hammer (a UK Metal Monthly) talking
about how hw liked it and how some of the songs on LOAD were influenced by it! That's
bloody who! And yes, saying that you like C&W IS a Stupid statment, But it wasn't me
that said it, was it?

What sort of an agrument do you call this? You have given no real
examples as to why you believe anything you have said to be true.
Personally, I think that Megadeth are superior to Metallica and you're
entitled to your own opinion, but to my mind, an opinion isn't worth shit
if it isn't backed with examples as to why such an opinion has been
held. Which is where your "agrument" fails.

Smutty.

Right...Ok...so the solos in Hangar 18 were flukes? The end solo in Holy
Wars wasn't actually Dave? And his part in A Tout Le Monde was studio
trickery? Get a grip man...

Yep, they're cool solos...most of which played by Kirk Hammet, but that's

Hmmm...lets just comparte shall we...down picking...all speed? I don't
think so...I play guitar and yes, down picking is hard...but even James
uses alternate picking (ie the fast rhythm to One)...but lets just see
shall we....Mechanix v's The Four Horsemen. Both good songs (main riff
written by D.M)...on album, which one is quicker? Hmm...let me see!!!
Holy Wars...The Punishment Due v Anything off the black album (both made
at roughly the same time)...no question...Dave is the better rhythm
guitarist without a shadow of doubt, he can write quick down pickers (ie
Tornado Of Souls, which is quick down picks, and faster chord changes
than most Metallica stuff - if you don`t believe me, I can play most
Metallica and Megadeth, and I know which one I find the most exhilirating
to play)...Hetfield is a good songwriter, so is Dave Mustaine, but it
comes to playing, Dave is far superior...why do you think he was lead
guitar in Metallica???

Hammett and Mustaine were never in the band at the same time dude. And
what the hell is a downpicking jam anyway? You see who can downpick the
most in a minute? You're gonna have to bullshit better than that if you
want anybody to believe you.

The bottom line is Mustaine and Hetfield are both excellent guitarists.
Of course, Mustaine is better technically, and he can rip out an awesome
solo too. But of course, everybody and their sister listens to Metallica,
so they are all going to say otherwise. Just ask anybody who knows what
they are talking about, Megadeth destroys Metallica hands down.

Actually, you're an idiot. What do you call the songs I listed as to why
I think Hetfield is better? Those are examples you foolish person. Your

Why don't you get more than a fourth grade education and then you'll be

Uh no, if you actually did know something about Metallica, you'd know
that the slower solos Master of Puppets and Orion were played by
Hetfield, and so is the one played in My Friend of Misery. Also listen
to the middle section of To Live is to Die, Hetfield plays that solo too.

Because Hetfield was SINGING and playing rhythm. Hetfield's SINGING is
what marks him out as superior to Mustaine. Every time Dave sings it's
like he's got some kind of heavy duty G-Clamp attached to his balls, and
its getting tighter and tighter...
Did you see the way his face got screwed up on the Revolver
video when they were recording Youthanasia?
Hetfields voice is easily one of the best in the rock world
today - why else did Queen choose him to sing in place of the great
Freddy Mercury at their tribute concert?
Coupled with Hetfield's awesome ability to play earth-shaking
riffs whilst singing at the same time, his superoir song-writing
ability, and the magical communication between the band when they play
together, it is easy to see why Metallica are so much better at what
they do than Megadeth.

Yeah James has a better singing voice, doesn`t make him a better
guitarist which is what this thread was about in the first place.

I'm really directing this to the guy that started this threat (Zaid Kanna I think),
but I'm much too lazy to look that far back to check or reply to his message direct!

Firstly, I'd like to make a little observation:

Even if, on a *really, really, really* cold day in Hell MetallicA were "better" than
Megadeth, then it's still not anyreason to say that Megadeth "sucks"! So you'd better
find another angle!

To the guy that wrote this bit, I'm sorry that your getting this in your mail, it's
not really mean for you, cos I'm gonna agree with almost everything that you say. But
I also have to say, that there's nothing *wrong* with Whiplash, it's a great song,
even if there is no real singing.

>> R> Hetfields voice is easily one of the best in the rock world

I'm gonna get flamed for this bit, but I really don't think that singing with Queen
is anything to be proud of, espically for somone that's as talented as Hetfield!!

>telling me next that Slash is a better guitarist than Marty Friedman next...

<GRIN>

> his superoir song-writing
>> R>ability,

C'Mon, almost all the best MetallicA stuff was co-written by one or more of the other
band members, while most of Megadeth's stuff (not that it matters who's better, but
while we're talking about it) is written completly by Mustaine.

>In what way? Better melody...hmmm? More intelligent...equally so, I would
>say at best with DM...heavier? Not now.

Might as well go to a Sinead O'Connor concert <G>

> and the magical communication between the band when they play

Yeah right!!!! OK, look, that's kinda a general statment, but while on the European
leg of the 'No Where Else to Roam' tour, they played *EXACTLY* the same gig at
(almost) every single venue. Even the stuff that Hetfield said to the people in the
audience when he went down to "give them 5" was the same! "We gotta find one more
crazy motherfucker... one more crazy motherfucker" or somthing like that! It's not
bloody communication, it's just reheasring and prompting and shit (I'll bet that they
all had those thingys in their ears!)

> it is easy to see why Metallica are so much better at what
>> R>they do than Megadeth.

And that's supposed to show us how much Deth suck, right? Urmm... wait a second, it
dosen't!
Besides, it seems to me, that they do different things now, MetallicA try to sell as
many records as they can, and makes as much money as they can, while not really
caring about what they do, and how they got to be where they are, and the music style
that they practically invented!

>Hmmm...an opinion at least it did have some semblance of an argument

Be nice if they got out of our newsgroup and got some taste, nevermind!

BTW- Nice .sig file!

Just before I finish, I'd like to tell you guys just what I think is shit about
MetallicA:

- They've changed to be popular, rather than good.
- They've abandoned the music that made them popular in the first place, and
sold out to popularity (I kinda already said that, but I'm making a point here!)
- Hetfield likes Country and Western music and that kinda style is going to
be in some of LOAD (according to Jason Newstead anyway!)
- MOBY are going to have somthing to do with the first single (is it out
yet?). I'd just like to ask "How the fuck did that happen?" Huh? How'd you get the
(ex-)kings of Heavy Metal and hook them up with some BS unheard of dance outfit?

Lastly, does anyone know if it's true that James Hetfield wrote the Billy ray Cyrus
hit "Achey, Breaky Heart?" I've been told this by a couple of friends, but I don't
believe that Hetfield could really stoop that low!

Thanx for your time, and listen to more Megadeth, that's why your in this group!

Great songs, but let's remember exactly how many decades ago these were

With all due respect, Yakster, Holy Wars is a piece of piss

No, what I mean basically is that there is something about Metallica
(In my opinion) that Megadeth just don't have. Nomatter how much they
produce their albums with track after layered track of harmonised leads
and sound effects, they just don't seem to be able to get that tone
and structure that Metallica have obtained consistently through (most of)
their albums; Master of Puppets for example; a kind of simple tune with
awesome riffs, and a simple construction that just kicks ass.

Easy to play? I'd like to hear you do the whole song, with solos, while
singing. I'd be willing to bet you would fuck up soo bad that it wouldnt
even sound like the damn song.

Metallica doesnt produce albums with track after layed tracks of CRAP?
Fucking listen to Kirks wah pedal (used in almost 100% of his solos now).
Listen to all the added background NOISE on the black album, Harmonized
leads? Listen to MOP again. The song. Listen. And why the fuck would
Megadeth want to sound like Metallica anyways? There are very few similar
riffs in both bands, They are COMPLETELY different. I get pissed when
people try to compare those 2 bands. In *MY* Opinion, Megadeth is and
Always will be the `better' band. I'd see Megadeth live over Metallica any
day because Mainly they put on a great show, They can actually play their
songs correctly and you dont have a bunch of little fags around that go to
a metallica concert, hear any song before the black album and think they
are covering some other band.
I'll say it again, from what I've observed, Metallica is built around a
3 string playing concerpt, they will never get past that. But who knows? I
havent heard their new album, I'm not going to go out of my way to hear it
either because I know its going to cater to STP, Pearl Jam, Etc boys who
will hear it and decide that `Metal' doesnt `suck'. But if they've broken
their past structure in songs, they might be good. Otherwise, I think it
will be another dull album with nothing much to it.
Megadeth completely fucked up on their last album, It was a waste of time
and effort on their part. I think they did it for personal reasons, It by
no means "sold out" because there arent 100,000,000,000 kids running
around these newsgroups making lame posts about "MeGaDeAtH RuLeZ HeHE!". I
truly expect megadeth to make a completely different album next time with
a LOT more kick to it than the last, Yet still keeping the musical aspect
in it (Alot of the heavier bands around suck.). We'll just have to see.
Don't get me wrong, Metallica isnt THAT bad, I like MOP and RTL, I hate
the rest, I guess they've gotten old on me, Their songs arent the kind
that stick around forever. Oh well enough babble

Weren't you the guy that was saying how long ago stuff was written (earlier in the
message, in reference to Whiplash)? MOP was a while ago, and while poeple have been
saying things about how the Megadeth ablums are better/worse than the MetallicA ones,
the simple fact is, that all of MetallicA's release work to date, seems to be
completly different to what they're doing now. So, MOP is not really a fair example.

Yes, but everybody knows, including the band, that MOP is a timeless classic - they
opened with it at Donnington. Some songs just seem to be so good they are fresh
every time you listen to them, like MOP, Creeping Death (another oldie I know),
Harvester of Sorrow.
I was bored of Peace Sells after the second time of listening. Have you grown
out of Youthanasia yet? (Actually, I haven't quite yet). So Metallica change, and some
people don't like that - but their best is still better than Mustaine could ever do.

This is a load of bollocks. You know that opening riff in Hangar 18?
You know that D minor bit it Call of Ktulu? Ever seen them played on a
guitar? They are EXACTLY the same riff. The bands do write very similar
stuff, even if Megadeth's tone is a lot tinnier... but the reason why
they are compared so much is because Mustaine was in the band (sorry -
don't mean to patronise you or anything by pointing out the obvious).

Uh, me I think. Though you wouldn't guess from the description. :)

( I have to type this meaningless paragraph because my newsreader won't
let me send more quoted text than typed text, and I want to include it
all, so don't listen to any of this rubbish. Thankyou.

He's just a total fucking self centered dictator and it's all about Dave plane and simple but if Marty came back Megadeth would be a little better. Ok peeps, really listen to me seriously even the dudes on here that like Megadeth and think they are good. Realize something here, Dave is a rotten egg air of Death stinking shitty weak pathetic vocalist.
He gets by in the studio but sucks tremendously live and don't even try to fucking deny it, listen to him live, just really listen to him, just blah blah blah blah! fucking untalented tones just blurted out there. I've give him a break for trying yes and it is hard to play fast riffs will trying to stay in tone, rhythmically he's really got it, but tonally is just fucking trash, seriously you are kicking your god damn selves if you think that fucker can sing. The dude can play no brilliant Marty solos if his life depended on it ever in his wildest wet dreams.
He has drive, writes tons of shit, has a bad ass imagination and manages his time fucking incredibly but dude, get a real singer, some one that that can sing the same songs like you better than you Dave, take a break from trying to run everything.
Oh and he fucking fires everyone, he fired Ellifson like he was never his friend, he has no loyalty what so ever and is fucked up on Oxy most of the time I've seen him. Also, dude get a fucking haircut, the long hair flying V thing is over, being a girl with long strawberry hair with a flying V is over dude and Pam probably cheats on you, she gets manly young dick somewhere else because you look like some old fucking witch hag from pumpkin head holding a Dean, should of stayed with Jackson.
Oh and firing Lance Dean for nothing dude was a stupid fucking mistake.
All I know is all Megadeth crew people are expendable to Dave's pathetic egotistical drug induced dictatorship, that are ready at anytime to catch the fits he throws at anytime.
One of these days Dave will run out of friends and family and will be all alone with a bunch of shitty records that don't go anywhere if he keeps treating his crew like cattle.
The only real album he ever did was Rust in Peace and count down everything else just got more and more redundant lame same tone vocals, when I was a kid rust in peace rock my fucking world but the more smarter i got and the more access to Megadeth shows that I could really see Dave sing and all the Marty replacements the solos never were played right and everything just sucked more more, the better I got at guitar.
The bottom line is Dave never mastered really getting his vocals under control and did anything to improve them and try something different with them, every album is the same old fucking lame sucky Dave tones, nothing ever changes, it's the same old shit over and over and over again.
Too set in his ways to change.
He will never have the vocal power James had and the drive to change and improve the way James did. Metallica has really put out some stupid shit too but they evolve with the times and girls really don't care much for dudes like Dave, I'll guarantee you these days any respectful woman worth a shit that's not fucking the whole band probably likes short hair dudes that have their shit together, long Metal hair is over and only a few selective women out there really like long hair dudes, you can find them but is not as common as hot chicks that like short haired dudes.
When I cut my hair like spikey sugar ray look, I got all of the bitches compared to the all one length hair I had, head banger shit is just fucking gone other than in Europe.
All I have to say is really Dave Shit Stain is a total fucking loser, who fucking Clucked off all of his dough on a bunch of dope that he shot into his veins and then brags about it like it inspiration. 500 dollars a day on dope puts people where Dave is, unhappy with Pam that likes real manly dicks on the side and kids that don't give a fuck about him and lives his life pissed of he never beat beat Metallica at music, fucking ungrateful drugged up peace of strawberry colored long haired dog shit.
Just fucking give it up and be happy you ever made something of yourself and stop comparing yourself to a band that would have sucked if you continued to be in it called Metallica.
