Metallica or Megadeth?

Don't know - stuff on youtube I didn't like enough to remember the song names...

I think you'll dig that one.

You name-dropper you!

Dave has an open door for Jeff, but he is loyal to NM. Marty got that gig because Jeff was too young, and Chris Broderick got it by forfeit...this is true.

Not to mention Steve Smyth didn't get it at all...

It's funny how many people are interlinked, when you take a look at just Nevermore.

Warrel and Jim were under Dave's watch when in Sanctuary and making the Refuge Denied. Jeff auditioned, as did Chris and Steve. Thinking of Steve- Tim and Steve have been in Forbidden, and if you've time, that would start a whole vicious circle of Testament, Slayer, Vio-Lence, Machinehead, Death, Dragonlord, Apocalyptica, Voodoocult, Kreator, Control Denied, and a whole shitload of others, eventually ending with Nevermore. It's funny how close this comunity is.

What songs did you listen to?

I've listened to a couple of NM songs... do all of their vocals sound like they're drowning in reverb and chorus? That instantly turned me off - even though the music is pretty cool.

The main Christian science one was the "God that failed" on the Black album, I always took leper messiah to be about evangalists and Mama said is about Hetfields relationship with his mother...(which is a great song IMO.)

I've said it before but I don't get the hatred for Load and Reload, some really solid songs on those albums

They're a little more ambiguous, but Hetfield's mother died because Christian Science denied her cancer meds and Leper Messiah can be applied to many sects, but I think he wrote it with them in mind.

NO, actually Jeff's favorite album is "Ride The Lightning".

that's why I said that Jeff would pick Metallica

[horns666]

NO, actually Jeff's favorite album is "Ride The Lightning"..that was the record that made him want to play guitar. He told me this, but by the mid to late 90's, and beyond Metallica became pretty insignificant to so many metaheads..not just me. I'm just the messenger.

Bands like Nevermore were the new breed, metal forged on just fine without Lars and co. ..and Metallica forged on completely fine without metal...so it's a wash.

one band offered me a spot, that must mean they are my favorite band

Jeff Loomis would vote for Metallica

We all know Jeff would definitely haven't minded playing in 'Deth a good while ago...

Chuck would have voted for Megadeth

Sorry guys, is this my impression that some posts disappear here? Would it be moderators step in, or is it just me?

I learned a Megadeth song last night.
