Make no Mistake about it..... MetallicA would win this battle hands down. If your going band for band...Metallica is stacked with talent. There music somewhat questionable now with St. Anger will probally be regarded as being pioneers of garage sounds in ten years.
Everyone forgets that Metallica has always been the future of other bands. The through down Fade to Black and everyone called them a Sell OUt then for a ballad song.....Now Fade is a favorte in almost everyones list.
People called them sellouts when they made a music video....Now MTV VH1 and all that shit have more videos of metal then ever before.....They made head bangers ball of the 80s my friends...
St. Anger seemed rush and sloppy I will give you that. I wonder if they rushed through ti to meet deadlines just based on the entire rehab stuff James went through.....But it was very artistic with the garage feeling..
Next...someone said that they sell out instead of making music for what its supposed to be....Thats all metallica does now plays the shit they want and **** everyone else.... Just listen to mama said with the country tones...and all the lyrics james wrote in St anger.... and the ****in tests of Low Man's lyrics.....with all this...they still have Pack Houses...Shit load of awards and recognized as The Top in their fields.
Megadeth is good...but since we are not talking about talen vs talent in instruments but Bandvs Band...megadeath will fall short....Plus Mustaine can't write lyrics for shit...he buys them....Proof in the mudda ****in Puddin....Match Mustines Mechanix to Four Horsemen. Ok its old but right at the begging you can see who had raw talent and who didn't with that...
Now my cheap shot....No way is anyone who is given a discription of having Strawberry Blonde hair on his bands website will never be able to form a band to beat Metallica.
one more thing...if u do want to go James vs Dave then no way in hell is he a better in guitar playin. James i talented way beyond Mustaine. All that bastard mustaine does is play frggin power chords!!! Match that shit like in mice and men and compare to jame's licks of Puppets....or if u want to match it up closer.... Then take St Anger or even Fuel ...still harder then mustines power chord crap
The following is in light of my recent Metallica epiphany, so bear with me.
I feel as if Megadeth and Metallica were both always true to themselves. Megadeth has been a metal band with a punk approach, politics, Mustaine being outspoken, yadda, yadda, yadda. Their craftsman ship was never really in question until "Risk" came out, then it was all down hill, leading to their eventual backlash and eventual break-up, like Metallica, taking some time off and subsequently regrouping.
That said, unlike Metallica, Megadeth made their come back and retraced their actual METAL roots. I happen to like their new material. Metallica's comeback was pre-mature. I bought St. Anger this afternoon after much speculation, and I feel as if the 1/2 of the album that was good is great, the half that I didn't like was dreadful, sloppy, uninspired, self weary, trite horseshit.
Now that we have the rise and fall of both bands out of the way, Metallica "wins" hands down just because of their impact. It's that simple. Megadeth has a few diamonds in their rough from the past 20 years, but nothing past "Symphony" really stands out, IMO.

I beg to differ, my friend.
Wake Up Dead
In My Darkest Hour
The Conjuring
Good Mourning / Black Friday
Architecture of Aggression
Reckoning Day
Youthanasia
Addicted to Chaos
Bad Omen
...and would it be too terrible to sneak the song Trust in there?
and I don't like Peace Sells (the song).
Metallica is better than Megadeth and will always be. Metallica has beautiful music summed up with powerful lyrics. Megadeth has none of that. In Some Kind Of Monster, Dave adimitted that Megadeth sucks. He said to Lars, "Everything you guys touch turns to gold, everything I do backfires".
At least he's decent enough to admit his band sucks.

i think he was talking about his life in general not just his band...
