i'll give this one a whirl, but all of the megadeth that i've heard seemed about five ticks too slow and way too serious. like, the self-importance was causing the sixteenth notes to get trapped in tar... plus, mustaine is a ginger dorkwad who always looks whiny and snively.

just in case anyone still thinks i'm a 31 year old man and not a 14 year old ruffian in a denim jacket - i spent some time this afternoon at the local bookstore, looking at the halen pix in that new zlozower book - and i totally didn't buy that book. man, i didn't buy anything!

paint the devil on the wall

megadeth for not being a douchebag about a million things.

yeah it's not easy to choose.....betweens these two great shitty bands......
the real music is another thing........

i gave it a whirl - what better way to celebrate christmas! - and it's just not doing much for me. i tried, but the baroque opening & the really awkward syncopation in the verses overshadowed the admittedly wikked shrieking and guitar deedlying.

sorry, r. still going with 'tallica...

the really awkward syncopation makes the song for me. shit's tricky.

choose deth, z.

I like both but Metallica come first.
They made the right choice going with Hammett.
No question.
Mustaine needed his own band anyway.

Let's rank 'em:

Metallica
Slayer
Anthrax
Megadeth
Repulsion
Death
Exodus
Possessed
Nuclear Assult
Terrorizer
Voivod
Testament
Death Angel

i think this is the correct order for these 3 bands. metallica, however, i think would be ranked somewhere below those 3. also, sepultura would have to be added to your list somewhere.

You got it all wrong.

Death, hands down, number one.
