Both styles are so…unmistakable. Metallica gets so much hate but their riffs are so catchy and Megadeth’s riffs are the result of such a complex mind. Dave’s a genius. Love both.
Mission to mars should’ve been an instrumental and I miss Dave’s darker lyrics from youthanasia. Solid album just corny lyrics kinda ruin it a little for me.
@@romulopampolini Ha ha for the time Dave's vocals were a great. Everything was so high pitched with Judas Priest, Motley crew, Guns and Roses and King diamond. Dave came in and changed it up.
I don't like him, but I don’t hate him. But if a person is at least a little experienced in playing the electric guitar, he understands that the Dave plays badly. And only someone who doesn't understand it can deny it.
Came here to post the same. As a guitarist, a lot of Megadeth riffs 'wow' me more. But knowing both albums it is incredible how Metallica are able to write stuff that is just grooving and iconic. The 'tallica songs stand out by themselves while Megadeth is more amazing moments but less coherent. Respect to both btw.
The eternal rivals!!!! 🤣🤣🤣. I hope James will accept Dave's offer to do a project together, something very good would come of it!!!!! I love both albums, although there is a clear difference between Megadeth and Metallica in terms of aggressiveness in the compositions......excellent work dude 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I remember hearing somewhere that it was in the works, but James required that lars be credited for some part he had no part in. Could just be completely mixing up my memory but I think it was from some interview of Dave.
James has not intention of doing music w Dave ever again. Every time they get on good terms, it’s the first thing Dave mentions and James shuts it down right away. Dave is so obsessed w the fact that he was in Metallica, it’s like he doesn’t even care that he went out on his own and made a fucking legendary band. I’m convinced he’d completely shut down Megadeth forever for the chance to rejoin Netallica
@@yuri0568 That was for the No Life Till Leather re-release I believe. Dave wanted Lars off writing credits, James defended Lars, Dave threw a hissy-fit, and that was that I think. James basically said all he needed to say on the matter, and obviously doesn't need the money/attention cuz they had 72 Seasons coming out. I think if Dave had played it cool with the NLTL material maybe something would have taken place. I don't think anything was remotely close to being signed off on as far as a colab though. It's funny because he would have made more money teaming up with James than he ever would from the NLTL demo. Very strange business decision on his part.

@@vincent2053bro not to hate but I think st anger was actually a better album than 72 seasons. I'm a metallica fan but this album was really weak, and the sick the dying and the dead is just better
I like both albums very much but never listened them to compare. It's actually interesting to see how they've taken different approaches. 72 Seasons feels more like a mixture of Black Album, Load/Reload and Hardwired. It makes sense when they're highly influenced by Lemmy, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. The album as a whole is not the greatest, but it feels heavy, familiar and sometimes very personal for James. Excluding some filler songs, it's fun. On the other side, Dave litterally goes all out. He's basically a genious. The whole album is a banger. It's all fresh, fast and those melodies... So satisfying to listen. But it also makes sense cause Megadeth as a whole had many members and every one of them puts something different to the table.
That's my biggest complaint when it comes to anything they've done after Reload to be completely honest. Aside from Death Magnetic, most of their post-90s material is just kind of them chasing their own tail for 8 minutes. I was very excited for 72 Seasons due to the concise nature of Lux Aeterna, cuz it was short and sweet like Motorbreath almost; then it just kinda fizzled out for me. Inamorata is super dope though.
@@uthgerd666 Facts, plus there's some songs where they have an awesome riff and ruin it with the wanna be AJFA segway sections that are also infused with Load era corniness.
I love both of these albums a lot. I am just getting started on learning the Sick, the Dying and the Dead, I can't wait till I've learned all of them both. I'm not good enough yet to play Kiko Loureiro's solos with Megadeth songs but I usually get Hammett's solos down after some practice with them once I've learned the song, hoping to get there this time too! 🤘🏻
Pretty cool battle! I'd like to hear Hardwired vs Dystopia. Can I just also say that the kid in me is so grateful to have both Metallica and Megadeth playing music like this again. I got into metal when The Black Album and Youthanasia were the most recent albums from each, and (although I grew to love them) it was extremely disappointing that Load and Cryptic Writings were the first record releases that I got to experience. I spent years after that hoping that either band would ever return to their roots, and after a while I gave up on both. Now here we are with Metallica and Megadeth sounding better than I ever thought they would again.

@@renancostavenancio3495baba ovo do caralho. Sou fã das duas bandas, mas o do Megadeth ficou MT melhor mano. Shadows Follows e Life in Hell as melhores de cada álbum
@@renancostavenancio3495 Eu não gostei desse novo album do Metallica, tem uma pegada meio "bar, cerveja e carro" essa pegada tinha nos albuns Load e Reload e só é bom pra tomar uma breja mesmo, sem falar que essas musicas novas deles parecem uma mistura de musicas já feitas, ficou bem genérico e sem essência, já esse novo album do Megadeth é mais trash, tem uma pegada distópica e melancólica, me lembrando muito a pegada da musica Spit Out The Bone do próprio Metallica, essa pegada distópica combina muito com o tempo atual, em que governos criam todo tipo de justificativa para nos controlar.
I love how the comments are full of Megadeth fans complimenting both bands and Metallica fans still finding a way to be offended by it - a Lamb of God fan
I'm more of a Megadeth fan since I can listen to their new stuff aswell and when I listen to Metallica I only go for their four first albums. And both bands are greeat! But I must say anyways that TSTDATD beats 72 seaons for these albums.
I know its hard to convience someone to try later metallica albums but honestly man try Death Magnetic and some live performances from 2009, like all nightmare Long from Mexico or My Apocalypse from Quebec. Its honestly one of the Greatest music Metallica have made
I've been enjoying 72 Seasons since it came out. It's only grown on me over time. Haven't gotten around to the latest Megadeth record yet, but these riffs sound pretty cool. I did enjoy their 2016 (I think?) record and saw them live just before the pandemic hit.
Agreed. 72 Seasons is probably my favorite of theirs since the black album. DM was great too but I always skip End of the Line where I don't really skip over anything from 72. DM also had the wonky mixing that sounds kind of rough to me. If they fixed that and swapped EotL for one of the better Beyond Magnetic tracks I might have liked that one more.
@@BornFromAWish They both have one flaw tho... and it is overlonging their songs. 4 out of the 10 songs in Death Magnetic are way too long, those being The End Of The Line, The Day That Never Comes, All Nightmare Long and The Judas Kiss. And like... 4 songs from 72 Seasons are way too long, 72 Seasons, If Darkness Had A Son, Sleepwalk My Life Away and... maybe Chasing Light.
i mean i am metallica fan and I love metallica more but to be honest i like the sick, the dying and the death album its way more better in terms of thrash metal it's speed aggressive and that's what metallica fans used to get from metallica and thats i like to hear from metallica but in terms of metal in general both albums are great and got their own styles!
I have criticized The Sick for recycling riffs and phrasing, not being as good as Dystopia etc...But I still haven't been able to make it through 72 Seasons, despite liking the first single. I've tried several times to listen to the whole thing and can't get through. I find modern Metallica's song-writing is atrocious and boring. For context, I was the world's biggest Metallica fan back in the day, (first concert, inspired me to play guitar, collected all the rare vinyl etc); and I have seen Megadeth live many times, I'm a superfan, biggest influence on my guitar and bass playing. These days, while I'm sometimes frustrated by Megadeth, I have nothing but contempt for Metallica. And going by how they have treated their fans for the last quarter century, the feeling is mutual. It's difficult enough to muster any enthusiasm for their occasional albums. But then they just end up being so lame. At least Megadeth records stand up beside other contemporary releases. But I would rather listen to a hundred lesser known bands than the over-hyped, over-indulgent, nostalgia-bait fake metal that Metallica churn out for their soccer mom and accountant dad fans. The same month 72 Seasons came out, Overkill released Scorched which is a million times better. And this year we've had Extreme release Six, King Gizzard release Petrodragonic Apocalypse, a new Sevendust album, a new Dethklok album, a new Filter record, a new Tesseract record, Cannibal Corpse and KK's priest, In Flames; Heimdal by Enslaved, which is a masterpiece; a new Periphery album, a bunch of singles from Samurai Pizza Cats...The list goes on and on. All stuff I'd rather listen to than Metallica's tired bullshit.
Both are good and i would usually say tie but i think here Sick dying and dead gets the win, just because it has some really unique songs like dogs of chernobyl.
I dig when you do this. I like not watching, just hearing and knowing the difference, especially when you don’t have the albums so you don’t have that quick ear familiarity. Remarkable and obvious difference between the two. If you could only listen to one genre for the rest of eternity….which would it be? Then if you could only listen to one band from that genre for eternity, who would that be? 🤘🏻
@guitarpro343 no I'm just making opinions with zero knowledge of what I'm talking about. There's a reason metallica is a bigger band it's really as simple as that lol. Tons of solos, flashy riffs, and unnecessary use of techniques doesn't make for good sounding music lol. Simple is better in most cases.
Both incredible bands to this day. I have reasons why I'd pick either album in this vs and the choice varies based on criteria. Some great competition here!
I like "72 Seasons" no question, but there is such a nostalgic influence on it; there are times where the riffs (and solos) are callbacks to previous Metallica songs---which I think is intentional. However, "The Sick, The Dying..and the Dead is a tremendous effort. The entire band is on-point with this one. It just blows my mind how Dave and Kiko can trade solos the way they do.
I grew up learning the Metallica and Megadeth catalogue on guitar. I could throw together riffs that sounds good but it would just be an imitation. You need your own style.
riffs are only part of it, you can write 200 good sounding riffs but you would also have to structure it. otherwise you have an album thats just "bleh" with maybe two good songs (looking at you, countdown to extinction)
Chasing Light !!! Вообще альбом 72 Seasons получился довольно мощными и хорошо качает... Теперь все альбомы до Black album + 72 Seasons мои любимые, могу слушать не переставая.
Life in Hell, We'll be Back, Soldier On, Night Stalkers, Junkie last part, MegadetH still has the thrash fire in the heart. Metallica seems to be a lil cold yet.
That's one thing Lars brings that a lot of people overlook. In not being a technical guy, he can just focus on laying the fattest grooves, which affects how the other guys play too (in a good way).
Thank you for making this video. It was very cool and entertaining. I've been a fan of both bands for at least 33 years, and I love the fact that both bands are still making great music. I am so glad Metallica is not working with Bob Rock anymore. They are just better without him. So glad the Bob Rock era is over. Their last two albums are just great. Megadeth's latest is also a great album. Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Overkill, Testament, and Sepultura all put out great music after the pandemic. I wonder if the whole COVID lockdown situation inspired these guys to focus on creating something great. Although Overkill has been consistently making good music.
Honestly, the band I prefer changes depending on what I feel like listening to. If I feel like heavy, groove-laden shit, then Metallica. If I’m in the mood for more technical and wacky stuff, then Megadeth.
Megadeth's riffs here are just generally more varied and interesting, while also having a drummer supporting them that doesn't immediately put you to sleep.
Creo que Megadeth es muy superior ya que los temas al escucharlos completos son muy elaborados con solos que te llegan mas que los de metallica inclusive los arreglos de megadeth no dejan de sorprender! Metallica muy repetitivo el riff, si bien son pegadisos no sorprenden parece como que los temas no terminan de desarrollarse uno espera algo mas pero no llega! Se vuelven aburridos! Ojo esto es mi opinion!
If you listen to “We’ll be Back” of the Megadeths record listen between (2:55-3:30) you can literally hear Metallicas Disposable Heros.. I promise you’ll hear the comparison
It’s hard to compare the 72 riffs are more groove feel where the Sick riffs are more technical. Both are great to listen to but stylistically different. Megadeth has always had more tech feel. I’d enjoy learning the Sick riffs less Lol.
I was not a fan of 72 Seasons at all, in fact I would go as far to say that it was my least favorite Metallica album. I greatly enjoyed Sick, Dying…and the Dead more. After listening to this however, James’ riffs you played make me want to re-listen again and reevaluate my opinion.
Yeah sick is way better in my opinion. I saw megadeth in august and they played only Well be back. Was hoping for the title track, next time 😎! Also megadeths new riffs are very memorable somehow
Great demonstration of what I’ve always said; Metallica is a simpler more accessible band while Megadeth is more sophisticated with greater subtleties and depth which makes them less digestible to the masses.
I’ll be honest, I have preferred the new Metallica to the new Megadeth since release, but hearing the riffs back to back highlights why. Metallica might be much more simple, but I’m honestly getting so much more from the Metallica riffs. They’ve left an impact that the Megadeth ones just haven’t, even if it’s not a hugely positive one in the case of Crown of Barbed Wire.
yea the album is good up live - but to add - the sick the dying and the dead is the first really good and megadeth soul album since cryptic writings - everything in between sounded the same same same and no real vibe
@@xvinx2446 I’ll elaborate, I hate Crown of Barbed Wire. But at least it’s left me with enough of an impression to dislike it, unlike anything off of Megadeth’s last which just kinda went by the wayside as soon as I heard it.
@@moolmannkosi3985 yea megadeth likes to make good songs metallica focuses only on making good catchy riffs. Speaking of metallicas riffs are not catchy to me and sound repetitive some sound very familiar to their earlier work...
Kind of the opposite for me. Most of the riffs on the metallica record sound very boring to me. As if not much thought went into it. Just basic riffs that sound like nothing.
The new Megadeth album is incredible, so many influences from their 80s output.
Megadeth has been trying to make the same album for 20 years now. This is not a selling point to me.
Definitely not their best but not bad at all I enjoyed it as well.
@@Shurdus couldn't be more wrong and even if that were true, the end product is way better than what metallica puts out.
Would of been better with Ellefson.
@@vincecastillo6554 I agree the album had a different feel to it knowing ellefson wasn't in it.
Both styles are so…unmistakable. Metallica gets so much hate but their riffs are so catchy and Megadeth’s riffs are the result of such a complex mind. Dave’s a genius. Love both.

Great example of how James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine are amongst thrash's best riff writers.
The fact that both bands can still do it at their age says something. Bravo
Both albums are the peak of both bands modern era, and as s new fan im glad to experience the drop of new albums from legendary bands! 🤟💀🔥
Oh cool, the sacred cow likes the Suffocater. But yeah, I agree, Hardwired was better but 72 is still solid.
Thank you for the refreshing attitude!
haven't listened to either of these albums, but you did awesome as always guy. Maybe the next rime Dave needs a new guitarist he'll call you 😉

Eu não gostei desse novo album do Metallica, tem uma pegada meio "bar, cerveja e carro" essa pegada tinha nos albuns Load e Reload e só é bom pra tomar uma breja mesmo, sem falar que essas musicas novas deles parecem uma mistura de musicas já feitas, ficou bem genérico e sem essência, já esse novo album do Megadeth é mais trash, tem uma pegada distópica e melancólica, me lembrando muito a pegada da musica Spit Out The Bone do próprio Metallica, essa pegada distópica combina muito com o tempo atual, em que governos criam todo tipo de justificativa para nos controlar.
I love how the comments are full of Megadeth fans complimenting both bands and Metallica fans still finding a way to be offended by it
- a Lamb of God fan
You're completely mistaken. It's the other way around.
Case in point: @@cripplingdebt224
I'm more of a Megadeth fan since I can listen to their new stuff aswell and when I listen to Metallica I only go for their four first albums. And both bands are greeat! But I must say anyways that TSTDATD beats 72 seaons for these albums.
I know its hard to convience someone to try later metallica albums but honestly man try Death Magnetic and some live performances from 2009, like all nightmare Long from Mexico or My Apocalypse from Quebec. Its honestly one of the Greatest music Metallica have made
@@gansior4744I totally agree, Death Magnetic is just as good as their 80s stuff. Incredibly underrated
Shame Megadeth only plays We'll be Back on their current setlist
Cool. When I listen to Megadeth I only go for THEIR first four albums!
@@PazBinv1 Nice! Which albums are your favorite from the 2 bands?
Dos discos llenos de grandisimos riff , pero si tengo que elegir uno, me quedo con el de MEGADETH
72 Seasons is one of my Top 5 Metallica albums. At first I was skeptical but it grew on me. It's such a mature album
Could easily lose three tracks from Side Two though.
I enjoy both albums! They are completely different and both have interesting things to offer!
Mad respect for you man. You killed it🤟
Two great albums, by two great bands. We are blessed to have them still creating new music.
Absolutely 🤘
I've been enjoying 72 Seasons since it came out. It's only grown on me over time. Haven't gotten around to the latest Megadeth record yet, but these riffs sound pretty cool. I did enjoy their 2016 (I think?) record and saw them live just before the pandemic hit.
Yeah Dystopia is a good album, better than this one which s still good imo
@@222MovieManhell yeah, Dystopia was their best album since Rust in Peace, imo
Bro you need to get on that new Megadeth album right now
I think The Sick was a better album than Dystopia.
@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer Countdown, Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings :(
I am absolutely loving both albums. Great records from these legendary metal bands.
Both albums are their best in about 20 years ngl, glad to see both still got it
72 better than Death Magnetic??
@@Parka_Nieltbh i love both albums, but i wouldn't say 72 Seasons is as memorable or as heartfelt as Death Magnetic
@@oliverafton1444 exactly, Death Magnetic had The Day That Never Comes, or That Was Just Your Life, underated songs
Agreed. 72 Seasons is probably my favorite of theirs since the black album. DM was great too but I always skip End of the Line where I don't really skip over anything from 72. DM also had the wonky mixing that sounds kind of rough to me. If they fixed that and swapped EotL for one of the better Beyond Magnetic tracks I might have liked that one more.
@@BornFromAWish They both have one flaw tho... and it is overlonging their songs. 4 out of the 10 songs in Death Magnetic are way too long, those being The End Of The Line, The Day That Never Comes, All Nightmare Long and The Judas Kiss. And like... 4 songs from 72 Seasons are way too long, 72 Seasons, If Darkness Had A Son, Sleepwalk My Life Away and... maybe Chasing Light.
i mean i am metallica fan and I love metallica more but to be honest i like the sick, the dying and the death album its way more better in terms of thrash metal it's speed aggressive and that's what metallica fans used to get from metallica and thats i like to hear from metallica but in terms of metal in general both albums are great and got their own styles!
Megadeth! That hit the spot!
I have criticized The Sick for recycling riffs and phrasing, not being as good as Dystopia etc...But I still haven't been able to make it through 72 Seasons, despite liking the first single. I've tried several times to listen to the whole thing and can't get through. I find modern Metallica's song-writing is atrocious and boring.
For context, I was the world's biggest Metallica fan back in the day, (first concert, inspired me to play guitar, collected all the rare vinyl etc); and I have seen Megadeth live many times, I'm a superfan, biggest influence on my guitar and bass playing.
These days, while I'm sometimes frustrated by Megadeth, I have nothing but contempt for Metallica. And going by how they have treated their fans for the last quarter century, the feeling is mutual. It's difficult enough to muster any enthusiasm for their occasional albums. But then they just end up being so lame. At least Megadeth records stand up beside other contemporary releases. But I would rather listen to a hundred lesser known bands than the over-hyped, over-indulgent, nostalgia-bait fake metal that Metallica churn out for their soccer mom and accountant dad fans.
The same month 72 Seasons came out, Overkill released Scorched which is a million times better. And this year we've had Extreme release Six, King Gizzard release Petrodragonic Apocalypse, a new Sevendust album, a new Dethklok album, a new Filter record, a new Tesseract record, Cannibal Corpse and KK's priest, In Flames; Heimdal by Enslaved, which is a masterpiece; a new Periphery album, a bunch of singles from Samurai Pizza Cats...The list goes on and on. All stuff I'd rather listen to than Metallica's tired bullshit.
Killing Time riff amazing!
Both are good and i would usually say tie but i think here Sick dying and dead gets the win, just because it has some really unique songs like dogs of chernobyl.
Dave decided he wanted to make a good and thrashy old Megadeth album again, I think he did pretty fuckin well.
I dig when you do this. I like not watching, just hearing and knowing the difference, especially when you don’t have the albums so you don’t have that quick ear familiarity. Remarkable and obvious difference between the two.
If you could only listen to one genre for the rest of eternity….which would it be?
Then if you could only listen to one band from that genre for eternity, who would that be?
🤘🏻
Megaths record because it doesn't become repetitive and boring immediatly
Megadeth for sure
No hay comparación, demasiada técnica Megadeth y lo de Metallica suena bastante bien pero Megadeth es arrollador 🤘🏽
Agreed
Técnica pero no con dos veces q escuchas el disco te aburre, Metallica puedes hasta tatarear los riffs, Metallica by far☝️
Technique sadly doesn't make the song better, megadeth has always had flashier better technique but metallica always has written better songs.
@@williamwoodard6682 have you heard 72 seasons?
@guitarpro343 no I'm just making opinions with zero knowledge of what I'm talking about. There's a reason metallica is a bigger band it's really as simple as that lol. Tons of solos, flashy riffs, and unnecessary use of techniques doesn't make for good sounding music lol. Simple is better in most cases.
Megadeth 🤘
These are honestly 2 of the best metal albums is such different ways. Inamorata and mission to mars are easily both 10/10 songs.
Both incredible bands to this day. I have reasons why I'd pick either album in this vs and the choice varies based on criteria. Some great competition here!
I like "72 Seasons" no question, but there is such a nostalgic influence on it; there are times where the riffs (and solos) are callbacks to previous Metallica songs---which I think is intentional. However, "The Sick, The Dying..and the Dead is a tremendous effort. The entire band is on-point with this one. It just blows my mind how Dave and Kiko can trade solos the way they do.
I give the edge to Metallica due to vocals and better hooks. Musically, Megadeth’s album is more impressive. I just like 72 Seasons more.
Sometimes I think that youtubers like these would not find it difficult to make their own songs due to the amount of riffs they usually play
songwriting is harder than just having technical proficiency
@@tfwnoyandereYeah but it’s so much easier to write riffs when you’re good at playing
I grew up learning the Metallica and Megadeth catalogue on guitar. I could throw together riffs that sounds good but it would just be an imitation. You need your own style.
riffs are only part of it, you can write 200 good sounding riffs but you would also have to structure it. otherwise you have an album thats just "bleh" with maybe two good songs (looking at you, countdown to extinction)
@@RagingInsomniac ↑
Chasing Light !!! Вообще альбом 72 Seasons получился довольно мощными и хорошо качает... Теперь все альбомы до Black album + 72 Seasons мои любимые, могу слушать не переставая.
Megadeth with the chocolates yet again! More interesting riffs and chord progression and the drumming works better with the riffs with Megadeth.
M-E-G-A-D-E-T-H 🇧🇷
I gotta give the edge to Megadeth here, probably one of their best albums.
Really great sound engineering bro; you did a great job recreating their various tones on these covers.
Megadave's riffs are far superior.
Life in Hell, We'll be Back, Soldier On, Night Stalkers, Junkie last part, MegadetH still has the thrash fire in the heart. Metallica seems to be a lil cold yet.
I always appreciated the groovyness in the later period Metallica albums
That's one thing Lars brings that a lot of people overlook. In not being a technical guy, he can just focus on laying the fattest grooves, which affects how the other guys play too (in a good way).
Me too 👍🏻👍🏻
Can't hate both. Without them what is metal
Thank you for making this video. It was very cool and entertaining. I've been a fan of both bands for at least 33 years, and I love the fact that both bands are still making great music. I am so glad Metallica is not working with Bob Rock anymore. They are just better without him. So glad the Bob Rock era is over. Their last two albums are just great. Megadeth's latest is also a great album. Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Overkill, Testament, and Sepultura all put out great music after the pandemic. I wonder if the whole COVID lockdown situation inspired these guys to focus on creating something great. Although Overkill has been consistently making good music.
Can you all just believe for a second that both Megadeth and Metallica had masterpiece albums in 2022-2023...
72 masterpiece? Come on man 😂
I agree on 72 seasons but not sick.
72 is certainly a masterpiece of an album. Is it MOP or AJFA level? No, but nothing from either band is. @@josephiladelphia8733
@jamieheim8009 lop you think 72 seasons is good and Sick is bad??? U gotta be on meth or a fan boy.
Both are fantastic albums that I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I do. I think I've listened to 72 more than The Sick though.
Same but I listen to the Mega album more
As much a lifelong Met fan I am, this Megadeth album has some really good moments in the riffing
It's Megadeth for me... I liked 72 s though. I'm glad both bands are still around ❤
Both are good, but i prefer megadeth
Honestly, the band I prefer changes depending on what I feel like listening to. If I feel like heavy, groove-laden shit, then Metallica. If I’m in the mood for more technical and wacky stuff, then Megadeth.
Great playing here. I prefer Metallica’s overall groove and melody more.
Es ist immer wieder Metal-herzerfrischend deinen Battles zuzuschauen und zuzuhören🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍💯
we'll be back is just something else
Can we appreciate them for still on the road after many many years.
That's great. I really like both albums.
Dave has found his spark, you can hear it, hes taken us back to the beginning
Both albums are excellent 😮 and thesuffocater master them all 🫡
Megadeth's riffs here are just generally more varied and interesting, while also having a drummer supporting them that doesn't immediately put you to sleep.
Not even close.
Megadeth.
Creo que Megadeth es muy superior ya que los temas al escucharlos completos son muy elaborados con solos que te llegan mas que los de metallica inclusive los arreglos de megadeth no dejan de sorprender! Metallica muy repetitivo el riff, si bien son pegadisos no sorprenden parece como que los temas no terminan de desarrollarse uno espera algo mas pero no llega! Se vuelven aburridos! Ojo esto es mi opinion!
The winner has never been so obvious
If you listen to “We’ll be Back” of the Megadeths record listen between (2:55-3:30) you can literally hear Metallicas Disposable Heros.. I promise you’ll hear the comparison
It’s hard to compare the 72 riffs are more groove feel where the Sick riffs are more technical. Both are great to listen to but stylistically different. Megadeth has always had more tech feel. I’d enjoy learning the Sick riffs less Lol.
I was not a fan of 72 Seasons at all, in fact I would go as far to say that it was my least favorite Metallica album. I greatly enjoyed Sick, Dying…and the Dead more. After listening to this however, James’ riffs you played make me want to re-listen again and reevaluate my opinion.
Yeah sick is way better in my opinion. I saw megadeth in august and they played only Well be back. Was hoping for the title track, next time 😎! Also megadeths new riffs are very memorable somehow
Metallica! No Ice-T and no carrying on about wanting to be an astronaut.
Megadeth all the way
You forgot about the best riff on tstdatd for mission to mars during that whole talking sequence
Great demonstration of what I’ve always said; Metallica is a simpler more accessible band while Megadeth is more sophisticated with greater subtleties and depth which makes them less digestible to the masses.
*tips fedora*
El de Megadeth lo pasa por encima 🔥
I’ll be honest, I have preferred the new Metallica to the new Megadeth since release, but hearing the riffs back to back highlights why. Metallica might be much more simple, but I’m honestly getting so much more from the Metallica riffs. They’ve left an impact that the Megadeth ones just haven’t, even if it’s not a hugely positive one in the case of Crown of Barbed Wire.
Even if not positive? Meaning it’s bad? What.
yea the album is good up live - but to add - the sick the dying and the dead is the first really good and megadeth soul album since cryptic writings - everything in between sounded the same same same and no real vibe
@@xvinx2446 I’ll elaborate, I hate Crown of Barbed Wire. But at least it’s left me with enough of an impression to dislike it, unlike anything off of Megadeth’s last which just kinda went by the wayside as soon as I heard it.
@@moolmannkosi3985 yea megadeth likes to make good songs metallica focuses only on making good catchy riffs. Speaking of metallicas riffs are not catchy to me and sound repetitive some sound very familiar to their earlier work...
Kind of the opposite for me. Most of the riffs on the metallica record sound very boring to me. As if not much thought went into it. Just basic riffs that sound like nothing.
