Both James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine are playing all those guitar riffs while singing. They're both absolute master rhythm guitar players.
Megadeth all the way❤Raw,fast dirty,punky and wild
Dave Mustaine wrote most of the songs that got them signed and even had some writing credits on Metallica's 2nd album Ride The Lightning. Metallica originally performed Mechanix. I used to have a Metallica bootleg of them performing Mechanix.
Not only 2 of my favorite bands,,,, but also 2 of my favorite songs,,,, and watching 2 of the most genuine ppl ever EQUALS,,,,,,,, An amazing reaction. I can finish my day with a smile. Thank you guys🤘🤘🤘🤘
i've said it before on other comparison videos, i prefer the lyrics of The Four Horsemen but the speed of Mechanix always gets me! either way it's a Dave Mustaine song lol
What not known is that Cliff Burton redid the bass line
And you can hear it loud & clear
Metallica kicked Dave out and gave him a bus ticket from NY to CA.
This was the good ol' days. I saw Metallica in early '83 in SF...the Dave and Cliff days, before Kill 'Em All was recorded after Dave was ejected. Fun that you're comparing the two versions, but Metallica's early Demo recording of this was titled; The Mechanix. The lyrics were changed when they recorded it as "The Four Horsemen."
Thanks for doing this. I wasnt even aware Megadeth remastered that song. I heard the demo tape way way back in the day and thought that was it. Always been a Four Horseman guy - death, deliverance for you for sure! Now theres nothin you can do.
Now you're talking! This is when it gets good man. Kill Em All is possibly my favourite Metallica album. The energy is just too good. They're 20 years old, and no one had heard anything quite like it at the time. An amazing debut album.
Run them both back but play Horsemen at 1.25x speed and it sounds like Mechanix......play Mechanix at 0.75x speed and it sound like Horsemen. Science
Dave has said there are songs he never got credit for on their first three albums. I believe him, because you can hear his stank all over those songs. I am glad they split, personally. Much more iconic music was released due to their split on both sides.
100%!!
Metallica was driving from San Fran to NYC to record their first album, when half way there they decided enough was enough, and put Dave on a bus back home. They stole Kirk Hammett from the band Exodus who then learned all of Dave's solos, and recorded Kill Em All. They were all just kids.
Not undeservedly, Dave is a jerk. But, they left him with no food or money for a 4 day bus trip. That's the only thing that bothers me about it. As much of an egomaniac jerk as Dave is, that's the one thing where he has an absolute right to be pissed off IMO, and I would too.
No, Dave made it to NY
The production quality is completely different for the songs, too. Megadeth spent almost all of their studio money on drugs, so they had to get what they got, lol.
I love when young men and women watch and enjoy 80's rock
I love both bands, but I'm a Four Horseman guy all the way! It's essentially a Megadeth song, but Four Horseman has much better storytelling, better groove and rhythm, the added bridge (1st solo) by Kirk to put his stamp on it is one of my favorite parts; it's got so much soul. And Cliff Burton's work on it just completes the choice between the two for me. He's amazing!
I wanted to make this comment before I watch the video but I personally think out of the 2 I prefer Metallica, both them and Megadeth are 2 of my favorite bands of all time, but I still kinda think of Megadeth of as a second Metallica that does everything they do but ever so slightly worse, but of of the few things I think Megadeth did better was this song, I just think The Four Horsemen goes on for ever so slightly too long, and I think I prefer the tempo on The Mechanix. That’s just me though and I can understand someone saying The Four Horsemen is better.
I just wanted to maybe specify that the my usage of “worse” was only because I couldn’t think of a way to phrase is differently. I LOVE both bands I’d say they’re probably my second and third favorite bands, and it’s a close race, but Metallica beats Megadeth by just a smidge.
Also the edit a changing of the phrasing of the last sentence.
In my opinion, the lyrics are better in the Metallica version, but instrumentals are better in the Megadeth version
who composed the song?
I can tell your dad was a metalhead back in the day, if not still.
Megadeths was like double speed. Way harder. I can play the metallica version easy. But the megadeth one is super fast
Metallica was doing coke, Megadeth was doing crack. That's why theirs was faster.
I always found Megadeth to be much harder to play, for their songs in general. I learned more Metallica songs, because they were within my ability, whereas Megadeth was not at the time.
@@profanepersonality same
Sorry guys but, no contest at all. Metallica crushed them into powder! They are the metal goats!! 🤘😎
Megadeths was wayyy more difficult though
@@MrGmonkeywillruleyou More difficult is stupid. It sounds awful. Metallica sounds way better AND more badass! way better lyrics too.
Oh there is a contest, kirks shitty wah wah guitar tone, and Dave's vocals are more arrogant and metal!!!!
Metallica for sure! Not even close for me.
And yes, brother, I get you made the Dave voice comments for me. This song completely illustrates my dislike of his voice. He is fine as a metal screecher, yeller, or screamer. But, when he tries to sing…with any kind of smoothness….ouch.
I do, however, agree with your “win win” comment. Because I do like Megadeth. So, we did all win having both bands all these years.
Appreciate the post! Fun stuff…..walked away from a wet paint brush to listen to this….now a crusty brush awaits! 🤪
I guess I sort of view Mustaine’s voice as an instrument in this song. Have no idea what he is saying most of the time😂
Glad you didn’t ‘brush’ off this reaction!
@@JacobBailey Fun reaction. Nothing to brush off. Like I said, I like Megadeth. And, I’d take Dave as a songwriter any day.
😃
100% Megadeth!
If you're comparing these two recordings, there's no contest, "Four Horsemen" is just the superior recording. If you're a single-minded metalhead who only cares about picking speed, okay fine, Megadeth's track is better, but if you're a normal human being, everything about Metallica's recording is just so much better. It actually sounds like a professional recording. That's a relative term with these two albums, Kill 'em All is still a rough record, but actually sounds produced by a competent producer at least, whereas Megadeth blew half their recording budget on HARD drugs, and it shows. Also, I like the slow guitar solo that Kirk Hammett added to the track on Kill 'em All (for some reason they never played that solo live, maybe they felt it slowed down the pace too much).
Also, just my humble opinion: Dave was always, ALWAYS a royal jerk, then, now, and always. He's just an insufferable human being, and you have to be a SPECIAL kind of drunken asshole for you to get fired from Metallica IN 1983, and have THAT be the reason. That said, they gave him a bus ticket across the country with no money or food for 4 days (granted, they were next to penniless themselves at the time, but that was a ROYAL dick thing to do to him). I'd have a grudge about that too.
But consider this: Dave Mustaine has been the only constant member of Megadeth, other than him it's always just been a rotating door of hired guns. Because nobody can stand working with him, he's just difficult to everybody. His longest bandmate and best friend was David Ellefson and even he got sick of his shit after a while. Don't be a Dave.
I don't care I like the faster more metal riff, and kirk's solos are so shit they all sound the same, and I don't care if Dave is a little sloppy, it's good slop that's fun to listen to like jimmy page. And who tf cares about recording quality in metal, this isn't some jazz bs, Like half of the best shit ever was recorded in a garage,
And it's funny you talk about drunk assholes since James and everyone else made fun of Kurt Cobain and Layne Staleys addictions while hammered off their asses, Metallica just got extremely popular and erased Dave's side from history, this world is not fair and it is a total popularity contest 24/7 that's why the retarded masses like Metallica more

My favorite is when people ask "who cares" to a person who obviously does care.
Have you ever met him? I can say ive met both James and Dave several times and Dave was by far the more humble and kind of the two James was an asshole to everyone from fans to stagehands
That is how you want your dad to look. Damn!!
😂😂 lots of wah wah lover here 😂😂
Forget the reaction - wow dude you must be happy to have a Dad that looks like that - aged very well - trim - still got the chiselled jaw line. I reckon he'd be in the top 5% for his age. Time didn't treat me as well. Bodes well for your future.
KEKW
I’ve got to go with Metallica on this one.
I love James Hetfields lyrics alot more. Metallicas take on the song, the added solos and Kirk Hammetts melodic metal style. Where Megadeth fast and too technical style harder to enjoy. I Iike Mechanics but I love The Four Horsemen.
Mechanics was about sex. Hetfield didn't like the idea about Metallica writing music about sex.
The musicianship by Megadeth will always top Metallica. The drumming alone has never come close let alone the guitar!
People will never understand that no matter how much you show them, the Metallica ignorance is insannnne
*YES! The Four Horsemen is such a great song and Kill Em' All is such a great album. People will talk about Dave Mustaine and his time with Metallica as if he deserves all kinds of credit for it when he really doesn't. Dave Co-wrote 4 songs off Kill Em' All and 2 songs off Ride The Lightning. He was only with Metallica for 11 months over 40 years ago and isn't on any of their albums. He was fired before their debut album of Kill Em' All. There's hundreds of thousands of former band members out there who were with bands for years who wrote and co-wrote songs. It's not that big of a deal. Dave deserves mad respect and credit as a guitarist and for what he created with Megadeth.. not his short lived, once upon a time with Metallica. Great reaction as always! Love seeing your Dad be part of this one but it's always great to see him.* 🤘
You get your whole life to write your first album Dave had half of his stolen And asked them not to use his songs I would be bitter too
@@ryanlaymon2329 Stolen? Really? He co-wrote a few riffs for a few songs and was credited for it. Metallica's popularity started with Ride the Lightning but really took off and became a household name with Master of Puppets, which Dave was no part of. Then ppl went backwards and listened to Kill em' All after they became fans. For some to act like Dave made Metallica is just wrong. If that was even a little true, Metallica would've been finished decades ago, unable to carry on without him. They've done just fine.
Megadeth are faster, but this is not car race and so...Its so easy, Metallica as usual Kill em all, sounds better, lyrics are better, solos better...James is better.
P.S. big difference in this two songs is Cliff, this bass sounds awesome 😎
sounds a lot like Motorheads Stone Dead Forever. metal licker wouldn't copy another bands riffs would they? 😁
Megadeth's version is faster
I'm still hoping you'll react to; Jeff Healy "See the light " (night music). If you want a song/artist/video that will get you out of your chair, that's the one. You'll regret not doing it sooner. Trust me.
the four horsemen always
You can't beat that melodic Kirk solo. I prefer Metallica's version
Mechanix is more of a fuck-off to Metallica than actually a good version of the song. Dave just wanted to show that he could do it faster. But then again the Megadeth is likely the original version, so what are you gonna say... I prefer the Metallica version because it is more progressive and thought through.
Metallicas is not more progressive it's LITERALLY simpler. And the four horsemen was only slowed down cause lars sucks at drumming
@@isopropyltoxicity You clearly have no idea what progressive means. The Four Horsemen is a hell of a lot better than Mechanix!
Kirk Hammett stolen the final solo from Mustaine
And he played it better than Dave jajaja
Megadeth fan all the way. Metallica was too choppy for me and I can’t stand the guys vocals and how he would say huh after every fifth word, huh
Yeah, Metallica all the way
Revisionist. Original all the way, even if the newer feels groovier. Sorry I can't understand Dave
Even though Dave wrote the song, Mechanicx is just a desperate attempt by Dave to try and prove he's "faster". Faster does not mean better, at least in this attempt.
Mechanix is NOT the "Megadeth- version" of "Four Horsemen" from Metallica! Dave Mustaine wrote Mechanix in his early times as a member of Metallica! Mechanix is the original played by Megadeth later with Dave!
Metallica all the way….Megadeth is no match
Mustaine DID NOT WRITE THE ENTIRE SONG or any Metallica song - for that matter - in its/their entirety. It is a most silly talking point which delusional Mustaine devotees wannabe boyfriends of Dave like to cling onto - to this day! Moreover, it is too fast, tone is awful and the lyrical content is pure drivel
👍
megadeths version is just better imo. cant stand james voice
I agree. If i want to hear a more Hetfield style voice I prefer Testament - Practice what you preach.
