Megadeth > Metallica
To start off:
I'm a HUGE Metallica fan. In fact my first 5 years of playing electric guitar was solely based on Metallica. I started off playing Bluegrass guitar with my dad, even though my soul wasn't bluegrass.

My first exposure to Metallica was hearing "Nothing Else Matters" on MTV before school waiting for my buddy to pick me up for school. I asked my brother if he had ever heard of them, and of course he had. He handed me a tape that had zero information of it. in that all the 'font' (for lack of a better word) was gone. It was a simple 'blank" tape. It was weathered, and the only thing I could determine that it was a Metallica tape was simply my brother's word. It was Master of Puppets Within 4 weeks, I had owned everything of Metallica and had thrown bluegrass by the wayside.

Long loving Metallica fan for years; devoted. Having heard Megadeth and loving a few of their songs, I was still committed to Metallica. However, years later, I've discovered that I may have been premature in my categorization of music.

Years had passed since I had really 'listened' to Megadeth. Years, as in 10+. Then, I stumbled upon a Megadeth record. While it escapes my memory at this point, the collective memory of the tunes has lead me to the belief that Megadeth is better than Metalica.

While some, to what degree I don't know, may have always held this belief, the discovery of Megadeth is a new one for me. After listening to many records, Im beginning to feel more confident in saying that Megadeth is better. Obviously, it's subjective.

Metallica's "Black" Album is equivalent to Pink Floy'd "The Wall" in terms of impact. However, Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction", has been severely over-shadowed by the 'Black" album of Metallica. Subsequently, as it had been up to that point, Megadeth had fallen by the wayside. "Symphony of Destructions' release around the same time, was over-shadowed by the Black album.

After what was a universal success of the Black album, Megadeth seemed to finally have received the kill shot. But, if we are to look at the records and time frame comparatively, I think Megadeth got the short end of the stick.

Since then, Megadeth has sustained their status despite radio and marketing support. I've listened to several Megadeth albums/tunes from the "Black" album going forward, and I must say they are not getting the credit that is due. In some aspects, they blow Metallica out of the water. To be honest, they are quickly surpassing Metallica.

I've always been a huge fan of Megadeth since the Mechanix type songs. But since Peace Sells Who's Buying album, Megadeth has gotten the shaft. By a LONG shot.

TLDR....but oh well.

And I agree that Metallica had about 3 good albums.

Don't agree on Megadeth though. Their isn't a mediocre album in their entire discography.
If I’m being honest, Countdown turned me off so much that I kind of put them on the backburner. Then Marty left a few albums later and I just never went back. Rust in Peace still gets a lot of play though.

If Countdown turned you off, you wouldn't like Risk.

That being said, Endgame and Dystopia are amazing.

though I believe it was what they used to refer to as an 'EP.'

Great album and not technically an EP, probably because it had 6 tracks and a running time over 35 minutes.

I’m probably not being fair to Countdown. I think more than anything I was turned off by the simplicity of Symphony of Destruction and I absolutely hate, HATE, that “Hello me, it’s me again” song for which I can’t remember the name. I’ll check out the two you mentioned.

I don’t know what sub-genres are involved, but I’m with you. I’ll take peak Ministry over peak Metallica or Megadeth, although I do like all three.

Holy shit, I was going to post the same thing but didn't want to get blasted.

Completely turns me off to anything Megadeth I hate it that much.

Industrial is the genre. Some of it is metal some of it not.

That entire album, at least for me, is freaking amazing. The production is flawless and everyone's playing at the top of their game.

Rust In Peace was a really great album but it just sounds too mushy for my ears. I greatly prefer the "tightness" of Countdown.
