Metallica or Megadeth?

[markD]

nothing in this thread matter it's like trying to teach students to read when they don't want to....a waste of time.

BTW - hannah motana SMOKES both metallicock and megadick...you guys know it, you just don't wanna admit it

+ her movies are WAY better than that metallicock "documentary" - at least hannah montana's humor is on purpose!!

I know it probably pussifies me a bit but I will choose Metallica anyday over Megadeth. If I look at it logically I'm sure Megadeth is the better band and has been more consistent but I can not discount how I was influenced and inspired by the first four Metallica albums.

From the day I bought Kill Em All in the summer of '83 I've been a huge fan of Hetfield and even though the Load/Reload/St Anger period sucked my ball I didn't give up on the band. I don't know if it's nostalgia or loyalty but I have the same feelings for Van Halen, King's X, RUSH and Judas Priest - all of those bands have gone through stylistic changes and faced heat from fans/critics but I can't let go.

Gay mode off.

It doesn't matter. The point he's trying to make is that you can be popular without being good. In my opinion, music that is popular among the masses, is usually unimaginative and lacking any real substance. The idiotic masses prefer catchy melodies like commercial jingles that they can hum along to in their empty little heads. Circus music if you will, for the performing monkeys.

However, being popular doesn't automatically mean you suck. It just doesn't prove you're good.

I mostly agree but when arguments like this start I always gotta feeling that some folks think that tr00 UG > bands which have a bigger audience than just their friends

Nothing wrong with catchy melodies... really good catchy melodies are hard to do... good metal has catchy melodies too.
It's how you present them... if you play them with heavy guitars or with a polka band.

But generally I say that a band which is more popular is better than the one which isn't popular.
Meaning... when a decent amount of people listen to you... that means you are somewhat listenable.
There's much more horrible hobby-amateur bands who will never sound decent.

UK is one of the most productive countries ever music wise... there's tons of music made everyday. Only 0,5% of all that gets into radio. And that counts for all kinds of independent and ug radios too.
It's just most people make an unlistenable music. No one gives a crap about them because they just suck so bad.

Damn this forums timeout!!!

I wrote a whole long reply to this only to lose it because I needed to sign back in!!!!

bascially I can't be bothered to write it all again, but the gist of it was I don't agree with you.

The UK is a place where alot of different music comes out.

It does get some radio play because of the BBC charter to play different stuff.

But in reality 95% of music on radio is garbage because record labels pay to have their crap played.. hence all people are stupid and will buy what they are told and the popularity of music is nothing to do with it's quality.

It sounded much better the first time, I used clever words and everything

record labels don't pay anything to indie/underground radios...

most unpopular music is just horse shit compared to popular music... most unpopular musicians can't even tune their instruments
