Metallica: 6 Reasons They're Undeniably Better Than Megadeth
A debate 30 years old and still raging on; with several oceans worth of water under bridge, what do you think?
Metallica. Megadeth. Both bands have defined the musical genre of hard rock and thrash metal for over 30 years. Some of us prefer the Bay Area thrashers that are Metallica, and others prefer the Dave Mustaine-driven metal-mania that is Megadeth. Both bands have influenced generations of musicians since their inception in the 1980's, but without question one band stands tall above the other. Metallica is the standard by which all other hard rock, heavy metal, and thrash bands are now measured. And let's be clear right from the start: we can have this discussion until we are all blue in the face, if we were to base this firmly on opinion. We can exhaust all viable arguments and lines of logic, we can pick and nitpick and pick again until we feel we have covered all the bases. In the end, the fact that Metallica is the better band cannot be denied, and it is something that can be measured and reflected accordingly. So I will provide you with the facts for this argument, and give you six quick reasons why Metallica are simply better than Megadeth.
