If I state my true opinion - I'd lose friends here, so I'll just sit back and observe.

But if theres a guitar that's harder to wield than that little modified V, I don't know what it is... I hate oddball shapes like that... they look great, but are harder than hell to play IMO. |

But if you had been in your teens and twenties in the 80's, you might feel different about it all... but its all good, tell it like it is, it'd actually be interested to hear a young guys take. I know for sure that my son thinks Ratt is cheesy... "YOU LITTLE BASTARD WHAT? DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO WARREN DEMARTINI IS YOU IMPERTINENT LITTLE PRICK?" |

I thought you were my friend...:( |
I used to love both bands. Now, I like both but prefer Metallica.
|
When Megadeth (Mustaine) isn't trying to be like Metallica & think what would Metallica do here? That's when they're better.

I have this one and I play it all the time, even sitting in a chair. Sure, you have to adjust but it isn't unwieldy AT ALL. In fact, it's comfy, light, and the fretboard is almost as good as my custom-made Washburn. http://cn1.kaboodle.com/img/b/0/0/1a...=1322190282000 |

Megadeth has had some great albums and some flops. Mostly the greats came in the early years and the flops in the later.

So in that sense, I don't see where the Jackson would be any less wieldy. |

Whaddya want me to say, I just didnt enjoy playing that model at all, even less than the Warlock... swore on all my ancestors graves that I just HAD to have one of those until I spent some time playing one. |
Sorry but I disagree. I love Metallica and have since I was about 8. But I cannot stand Megadeth. To me Megadeth sounds like a metal band with Axl Rose as their front man.

James Hetfield is a horrible singer too. The godfather of speed metal, Lemmy, is the worst. And he's still a ****ing god. |

Given the type of music, I don't think vocal "quality" should be much of a factor anyway... |

I like metal vocalists that can do a bit of singing but also do the screaming/growling thing well. Like Rob Flynn of Machine Head, Anders from In Flames, Burton Bell from Fear Factory, Jesse Leach from Killswitch, etc. |
Quote:
I've played guitar and bass since I was 12, so, I've always tended to focus on the music being played. I think the only metal vocalist's I've liked have been Pepper Keenan of C.O.C. and Phil Anselmo of Pantera, (he was an acquired taste). |

I really only pay attention to vocal quality when vocal quality is emphasized in the music. I don't listen to Motorhead and think "boy I wish he could sing better" but I absolutely do listen to Dio and think "damn, this guy is the best ever."

They're both better than Metallica, though. |
I'll take COC over Pantera eight days a week.
Pick a song, any song, these guys should've been waaay bigger than they were... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/zjPKy4-XqEE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

http://theindiespiritualist.com/wp-c...12/01/coc1.jpg I think this is part of what ruined their career. Oddly enough Pantera started as a glam metal outfit. Fortunately for them nobody knew about it until they hit it big. http://www.sickchirpse.com/wp-conten...-Pantera-2.jpg Sad for C.O.C.... |

Gadzooks, you definitely know the deal... COC was pure punk early on, I love punk but I actually liked their music better when they went to that dirty blues groove.
And yes LMAO there are some hilarious shots of early Pantera out there, waaay worse than what you posted... that's why I used to laugh when I would read some interview back in the day where one of them would slam a glam group. |

Not sure if you've seen this clip where Pepper Keenan bows out of the race as Metallica's new bass player. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kz35JR0GhQY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Les Claypool auditioned after Clifford Lee Burton died as well. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uS6gwp6SeXM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Have never seen either of those, very enlightening, particularly Claypool lol... James said I was "too good", that was just a nice way of saying I'm a weirdo.
|
Check this out. Here's an example of Friedman's fusion of the blues, jazz, and Japanese music.
|
And here's a live performance of one of the most awesome tunes on "Dragon's Kiss".
|
And finally, the best song on the album. The reason why he was a perfect fit for Megadeth. He brought something that transcended metal. Yes, I'm a BIG fan. :D

Quote:
That was way too short. |
My buddy once provided a compelling argument that Metallica had ripped off their "sound" from "Death" (an Orlando FL based heavy metal band headed by Chuck Schuldiner).
He played songs from their "best of" album and compared them to pieces by Metallica released soon after. I was convinced... |
Pantera is garbage. Somebody fix this thread.
|
Everything is garbage from a certain perspective.

Is it because their not as obscure as Caninus, Anal **** or Napalm Death? If Pantera were from Sweden would they get your approval?;) |

I do like a handful of Pantera tracks (Cemetery Gates primarily.) I guess I can dig the whole Cowboys From Hell album, more or less. The others are just so boring. Like, their whole "groove metal" sound was always pretty tiresome even on an album I kinda like. I mean, compared to the riff quotient of a thrash or death metal band. Even black metal, with its emphasis on atmosphere, brings more riffs to the table than the average Pantera song does. For those reasons, Pantera are underwhelming to me. Dimebag is a great guitar player (though he is certainly overrated and is sadly influential), but an incredibly overrated songwriter. The Vulgar Display of Power album makes me want to throw up. Out of sheer boredom. Quote:

I don't know if he was loaded or not, but he deserves his ass kicked for making me listen to that shit. I seriously would have went out to my car for a half hour if they would have let me back in.

In his defense, if I was an 80's or 90's rock/metal star, I probably would have been an addict as well. It just looks like so much fun.

....further evidence Mustaine go the the royal Metallica shaft |

I've said it before in this thread, when he wasn't thinking "Metallica" while writing, that's when Megadeth is better musically. Vocals are a whole other story. |
Quote:

I just watched more Megadeth...yeah, so coming from a die hard Metallica fan, I'm humbled to say Megadeth is so much better. Why I didn't get into them earlier I have no idea. Even their equivelant of Metallica's "Black album" (Symphony of Destruction) smokes Metallica.
Never thought I'd say this blasphemy Side note......Friedman's shit makes Hammet's shit look like child's play. |
Can't agree with you.
Megadeth had one album I really liked. Metallica had four. I really couldn't care less about what either of them are doing now. |
Quote:
Sounds to me like you simply don't appreciate the sludgy nature of their sound, and use that to call them 'garbage'. I mean 'riff quotient'? Damn, I bet you HATE rock and roll... what with them not noodling fast enough nor matching your riff quotient requirement. ROFL |
Quote:
i was just listening to Mustaine's melodies and what not, and thought they were so much intricate than Hetfields. don't get me wrong.......they're both amazing. like a ribeye or KC strips. |
Quote:
The whole reason there's so much damn music is because people like so many different things. I used to be that guy who ran around saying 'this sucks' or 'this is shit' if I didn't like something, but then I grew up and realized what an asshole that makes me. Yanno, like who the hell am I to call someone's artistic self expression 'shit'? Who the hell am I to define that? What have I done to put my own self out there? There are too many critics in the world and not enough appreciators. Megadeth never kept my attention beyond the 90's. That doesn't matter, because Mustaine is still a metal legend. I'm just some asshole. :D |
Quote:
It's easy for me to understand why people like Metallica more. I just don't agree. I too couldn't care less about what they're doing now. |
Quote:
One thing I can say about Metallica though is that, for me, at least the Black album was transitional. It could have been a musical brick wall like "Risk". |

Mustaine's vocals annoys me. That's really the only thing about them that was ever off-putting to me. |
