Dave never played on any of Metallica's albums. He wrote 6 songs, 4 of which were on Kill'em All. But the only thing he recorded with Metallica were a few demos.

Well that's a matter of opinion, although I would agree Ride The Lightning is one of their best. But handing him the title of "making Metallica" is silly... to be honest, I think their best album was Master of Puppets. I also like Black, but I don't consider it thrash metal either :).

that's what I'm talkin bout!

:rockon:

btw...Metallica!!!

Megadeth all the way. Megadeth never cut their hair and went pop. And I am pretty disappointed in how they treated Dave Mustaine. I think that he has more metal in his pinkie than Metallica has in its whole band.

Old Metallica > old Megadeth easily.

MOP was OK with about 4-5 songs I dug but Ride The Lightning was their best. Still a lot of Dave's fury but a tad more direction but not too much direction in the wrong way.

i use to like Metallica more then Megadeth but with they way they sue everyone and anyone for useing or even saying there name with out there permission just upsets me to no end. i mean when your at there level you should be honored when a high school group uses your name as a way to pay homage(SP) to you and your band and then the way they as a band did Megadeth was just wrong.

Musically, I like both. I love both! Overall Metallica has more good songs and albums. St. Anger is the only Metallica album to truly suck.

The first two or three Megadeth albums were just speed fests to show they could play fast. Rust in Peace was their first really good album and considered highly influencial. Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia were great albums too. Then it just went down hill. Megadeth is also an unstable band. It's just Dave and whoever he likes at the moment.

I hate Metallica's (read: Lars) attitude now. Load and Reload weren't bad. They were different. When the napster stuff happened I lost a lot of repect for them. Lars showed he was a tool. I was reakky pissed at them for forcing Jason to leave. That said, I have seen their recent shows on the net and they still know how to put on a show even though they are all old and ugly (except Kurt who somehow doesn't age).

I have huge repect for Dave though.
