Metallica or Megadeth?

[Venomboy]

lyrically Megadeth does have some REALLY lame stuff:

Hello me, meet the real me!

The video was just as bad.

Metallica live these days adds the word baby far too often.

"I'm creeping death babaaaaay!"

I'm sorry but you cannot add the word baby to a metal song about biblical slaughter. Lose skinny women's jeans, go to jail, and do not pass go.

Megadeth

Piece of advice for you: it's far better to keep your mouth closed and merely appear ignorant, than to open it and remove all doubt.

Another piece of advice? You might wanna cut out the bullshit. Otherwise, you wont be here long.

That's funny you're loyal to a band when YOU are not sure who is in it. There's never been a guy named Kurt in Metallica.

I know~

at least I was close!

thanks for the advice, but like you, I may choose to ignore it. But not yet.

oh, while we're dealing out pithy nuggets of wisdom, I'm sure you've been told the one about fighting on the internet before....

Lyrics? I guess "my lifestyle determines my deathstyle" or what ever "sung" over a trash can beat is good? yeah, fucking whatever.

Come on, Dave the Junkie is no better. I mean:

"One day I'll dance on your grave, even if you are buried at sea"

Straight from the Spinal Tap book of lyrics, hilarious.

And as for singing in French, well that seals it for me. As Miss Piggy once said:

"Pretentious? Moi?"

[BeholdTheFallen]

damn, why is everyone so angry? ^that guy^ just stated who he thinks the general public prefers, his own preference, and listed his reasons why.. No reason for everyone to lose their lunches all over one another.
although I have to admit that I love that scene from family guy
Peace sells...but whos buying? clearly none of you (sorry I had to)

your sanctimony comes seriously unstuck when you struggle with basic grammar.

If you asked me in the 90s, that would have been tough. But by now time has put everything in perspective and it is by a large margin Megadeath for me. On the musical side, musicanship, song writing, lasting legacy. I am not even listening to Metallica anymore, so this is an indication for me for sure.

Ok, Ms. Crabtree, I'll bite. Make the case that I "struggle with basic grammar". Because I left out an apostrophe s? Is that "struggling with basic grammar"?

[VitaminG]

Honestly, what public school did you attend? I want to know what city is wasting the tax payer money...

Everyone here is overlooking the more pressing issue - how many times can the term "straw man" be used in one thread?

[orion451]

I love metallica but the only real thing i dont like about megadeath is daves singing everything else is fine )

100% agree.

[orion451]

No what i mean is your "opinion" based on album sales to fratboy dickheads to determine who is the "better" band? laughable at best.

Then again, so are you, but whatever.

Lyrics? I guess "my lifestyle determines my deathstyle" or what ever "sung" over a trash can beat is good? yeah, fucking whatever.

And, btw... kirk absolutely SUCKS as a guitarist.

The only thing laughable here is your reading comprehension.

Why, after several people have repeatedly stated that the poll isn't about which band is "better", do you retards keep fighting against that poor straw man? Can you not read English? Leave that poor straw man alone! He's had enough.

You state that you think my opinion is based on album sales. This is not at all what I wrote! AGain, this is a reading comprehension problem. Honestly, what public school did you attend? I want to know what city is wasting the tax payer money...

My entire point was to find a metric that is independent of any individual opinion to determine which band listeners prefer. Then I stated my own thoughts on the matter for the record. Reread this a couple of times if you're confused--the dictionary is also your friend here.

As far as the significance of my opinion goes, it's no different than yours: weak when measured against the summation of opinions that the market communicates. The market gives us an objective answer as to which band listeners prefer. If you have a better objective metric, then suggest it. Otherwise it's all just meaningless subjective bullshit.

And what do you mean btw Kirk sucks as a guitarist. How can it be "by the way" when I already explicitly stated that he sucks?! Seriously, English conversation is not your forte. You may want to stick to your native language, whatever that might be.

[Jacksons Shred]

Man, you guys are idiots. Dont you know that if a band sells more albums they're clearly a better band?
