      You mentioning speed and then slow songs having melody.
      Megadeth has a ton of melody, even more so than Metallica does.
      It's the small nuances and melody beneath the "visible part" of the songs that make the songs so great.
      About the drumming. Lars can't even tune Gar Samuelson's kit, let alone play it or try to play like him. He was just a one of a kind drummer.

    I do like the slow part in "The Four Horseman and the solo Kirk played in that section. We all know Mustaine wrote the main riff and is a pioneer behind the some sick soloing using the amazing hammer and pull-off stretches. Dave Mustaine was shredding way back then. A Metal icon indeed.

    @AZColt1971 5 років тому +18

    For me it's the Four Horsemen all day, but IMHO it's not a real fair comparison simply due to the fact that one is much faster and shorter and thrashier than the other (even though they are basically the same general songs). I think it just depends on your preference. Dave's version definitely has more of that punk/thrash vibe going whereas Metallica's version is a much more refined masterpiece, let alone much longer and has more solos. It's sort of like comparing a Mercedes to a Dodge IMHO.

    This was great! Though I’m more of a Megadeth fan I like the four horsemen more. Another one to do a VS on would be Megadeth’s Hangar 18 and Metallica’s The Call of the Ktulu. They both have a riff that Dave wrote. The opening riff to hangar 18 is the same one in the opening riff in Ktulu and later repeated in the same song. She will go absolutely ape shit over hangar 18.

    Not really fair considering that Dave was not allowed to use a lot of material due to legal conditions. Mecanix was a weaker song...still love it though. Most of the lead guitar riffs were Dave's on the first Metallica albums. Rhythm was written by James. I only like the 80s Metallica albums, straight thrash. Kirk is still one of the greatest guitarists around and was the first to contact Dave to heal the rift between the two bands.

    okay but you left out that Dave Mustaine had no family, and he saw Metallica as his BROTHERS... "brothers" who didn't even have the NERVE to say, "Hey man, you are gonna need to get some help with the drinking or we can't keep you in the band" and offer him some support/help. just woke him up one morning, kicked him out and sent him packing. no explanation. also, "Brothers'', who when Cliff Burton died, did not even have the DECENCY, (as Cliff passed not long after Dave got kicked out) ... to CALL HIM, even out of respect of the relationship they all had at one point and SHARE with him the bad news, while THEY had each other for support. No, Dave found out from a 'music Journalist' that one of the guys he saw as a *Brother* was just violently killed, and not one member of Metallica ever even contacted him. NOW, do you see why it led to such a dark, bitter, angry place for Dave Mustaine??? oh, and just so you know... it was DAVE, who first came to a place in his life and reached out to Lars to tell him that he FORGAVE HIM for everything.

    Gonna be real here. Megadeth any day of the week. Dave Mustaine is just a badass. He had every song he wrote stole by Metallica, kicked out of his only "family" 2600 miles from home when they were just about to make it big. He had to get a bus home with no food, money or water. Then he had to spend about 6 years making band meanwhile watching his from friends become the biggest band in the world. I think most people would kill themselves years before he started megadeth

      Mustaine was a drug addict and causing trouble on the road.
      The others did what they did for the good of the band, whether it was right or wrong, it was on Daves head.
      Dave whinging about Metallica blowing up while he crashed and burned is also his own personal problem, not metallicas.
      Metallica don't lose any sleep over it, and I don't think dave does now.

      I have a couple comments to make, first of all it was like a 24 hour bus ride they sent Dave on after kicking him out of the band, it was from NYC to LA on a Greyhound bus, to add an additional insult to it they then call up Kirk Hammett of Exodus at the time and flew him out to join the band, so Kirk was probably in New York before Dave even got back to LA, second I agree with Wolf about Metallica's early albums, for one the band as a whole had a level of cohesion in it that, due to Dave Mustaine's control freak attitude, Megadeth didn't really attain until their album Rust In Peace, not that Megadeth's earlier albums weren't great, they just didn't have the cohesiveness of the early Metallica albums, probably due to the the personnel changes and addiction issues within Megadeth and competent was probably the best word you could have used to describe Lars' ability on drums. I would really like to see SIstah react to some Tool songs, I would recommend starting from the beginning with them and take her through the evolution of the bands sound, say a track or two off each record starting from the Opiate EP, and by the time you make it to the end hopefully the new album will have been released by the with you guys mixing in other bands in between, I would recommend the tracks Part of Me and Jerk Off (live) off of Opiate and go from there

      Tool is so overrated, their riffs are pretty repetitive and the voice is great for about an hour and then starts to get old quickly after that. Sistah, you had no bias listening to everything at once, and the Music speaks for itself. Megadeth is the greatest heavy metal band ever!!!

    I found you guys through your Nightwish Ghost Love Score reaction and have been hooked on your videos since. I enjoy the fact that your approach is different from other music reaction channels; others just seem to be "play song" youtuber goes "ooh, that was good....well, see ya next time!" I love that yall give background information and analyze the songs and your reactions. Wolfkain taking the role of Metal Historian works out well in this format.
    Having said that, in this video he mentioned that he felt that Metallica lost the "the song is a journey" attribute in their later works. I would like to see yall react to All Nightmare Long (from Death Magnetic), Halo on Fire, Murder One, Dream No More, or Spit Out the Bone (from Hardwired to Self-Destruct). IMO, those are their strongest offerings from their past 2 albums. Halo on Fire is my favorite of those examples and really give that "this is where the song wanted me to be" feeling by the end of it.
    Also, to repeat everyone else....do Tornado of Souls. Favorite Megadeth song ever. Keep up the great work!

Cliff)Metallica went to more Radio friendly style while Megadeth always stayed pure to their Thrash roots with the exception of RISK.

    These two songs were precisely what prompted me to create a playlist which I called "MegaMetalldetHicA" - which you can probably guess is a hybrid of the two bands' names mashed together, and the playlist featured songs by the bands in alternating sequence.
    The alternating/random caps are to reflect the logo (which I also mashed together), retaining the capital M and H book-ending the Megadeth logo, and the "lightning bolted" M & A of Metallica.
    I opened my "mix tape" with Mechanix, followed by The Four Horsemen, and the rest of the mix just went randomly from there in a Megadeth/Metallica sequence of songs.
    I could not even begin to guess how I arranged them, save for some special editing of specific songs that were cross-mixed with other songs...
    If you're interested, I uploaded a sample of how I mixed tracks which were already previously crossover'ed with other songs on their original albums - for example, how Into The Lungs Of Hell fades out as the soft jazz intro fades in for Set The World Afire (Megadeth), or how Fight Fire With Fire is abruptly ended by the commencement of Ride The Lightning (Metallica). Back in the 80s, long before PCs and editing software, I had to to do some fancy editing to separate songs that crossed over one another in that manner, or that had abrupt endings. But the mix you'll hear in my video upload is the "cleaner" and more professionally-precise effort with the benefit of proper editing software (and years of experience, much of it gained by trial & error, lol).
    The one thing I did not include in the modern mix is the repeated explosions at the beginning of Set The World Afire, lol. Perhaps one day I'll remix it to include that effect?
    All this, all because of these two specific songs (Mechanix and The Four Horsemen).
    :-P
    So, for your listening pleasure, I present :
    MegaMetalldetHicA :
    INTO THE LUNGS OF HELL / FIGHT FIR WITH FIRE / SET THE WORLD AFIRE
