Yeah i can't say ive EVER ****ed to metal. Metallica/Megadeath qualify in the Drive-To/Play-To categories. A song doesn't have to fit all the categories. It just needs to be useful in one. My Spotify is a whirlwind of genres ranging from The Drifters all the way up to Migos and the latest from DJ Khaled and nearly every rock genre in between. I'm more of a Punk guy than a Speed Metal guy, but my metal playlist is often used too. |

I pretty much only listen to heavy rock and metal. To me, Metallica is pop music noise, like DJ Khaled. |

Over-the-top playing only appeals to me so much because it just becomes noise after a while. Simpler chord progressions and playing, as long as its not 12 year old garage band level, is enjoyable for capturing that simplicity and adding a layer of emotion that's not reachable when playing a million notes. When I hear Metallica at their best, I hear pure, unadulterated anxiety, anger and aggression. They have a way of capturing those emotions and putting them in a 4 to 7 minute piece of music that's relatable and fungible. When I hear Megadeth at their best, I hear nearly unparalleled musicianship, amazing note choices by Marty Friedman, excellent production and Mustaine's never ending conquest to be the best thrash band in the world, almost to the point where he's screaming "LOOK AT ME!!!!!!!!". To me, they're both awesome and amazing bands but very, very different. I could never pick one over the other, except when it comes to my mood. Fortunately, both exist. |

How do you musician types feel about Slayer and Anthrax?
I haven’t listened to those bands in years. Should I give them a re-listen ? Last edited by Deberg_1990; 05-14-2021 at 11:12 AM.. |

I am a fan of some death metal though and definitely a fan of deathcore, which is a blend of death metal and metalcore. Metalcore is itself a blend of heavy metal and hardcore punk. |

I ****ing love it. They captured the that 80's hair/glam metal sound to perfection while embracing the cheesiness of the era. Except their lyrics are wildly more entertaining and memorable than some of the real 80's glam bands.

Reign in Blood is probably my favorite album ever, although it’s not much longer than an EP. Slayer is definitely unique and twisted. I’ve mellowed out over the years so I mix in a lot more Bob Marley before I listen to Slayer.

If you listen to Mechanix and The Four Horseman, it is pretty clear:
Instruments - Megadeth. Vocals and Lyrics - Metallica. I always found Dave's voice a bit grating, so I never fully appreciated Megadeth. If you listen now, Megadeth is clearly the more consistent band that aged better. |
