  • [playing 'A Tout Le Monde' by Megadeth]

  • Who's betterMegadeth or Metallica?” Are you still there?

  • Hi friends. It's Andriy Vasylenkomusician, teacher and a big fan of Metallica... and Megadeth.

  • I never cared about the crap happened to be between these two bands.

  • And it still takes place among fans, even after official 'end of feud'

  • We had 'The Big 4 tour' and Dave playing on Metallica's 30th anniversary.

  • Dave (June 1993): "10 years of bullsh*it is over between Megadeth and Metallica"

  • Mustaine admitted that 'the measuring of dicks' made no sense, since he's also successful.

  • Even if Metallica beats Megadeth in 'the war of sales'

  • Dave and company still have won some 'local battles' for the 'metal throne'.

  • So, here's my top 5 things in which Megadeath and Dave Mustaine are ahead of Metallica.

  • And write in comments if I missed something.

  • One note: if you are still thinking this way:

  • 'Megadeath rules, Metallica sucks!' 'Metallica rules, Megadeth sucks!'

  • Try to listen to f*cking music.

  • #1 - One-take 'Youthanasia'

  • Did you know that instruments from 'Youthanasia' were recorded together?

  • It means that the band played simultaneously, and all of that was being taped.

  • Except for vocals and some extra guitar.

  • You may say 'Yeah, that's how 'The Black Album' was recorded!'

  • Nope. Metallica was just playing together to create

  • the vibe of live performance for just one instrument to be recorded.

  • In case of Megadeth, everything started again if somebody f*cked up.

  • So, the number of takes was varying: from 2 to 42.

  • It requires great professionalism and composure, especially from drummer.

  • #2 - Creative internationalism

  • Both Metallica and Megadeth are popular worldwide

  • They are listened by people from different countries and speaking different languages.

  • But if 'the four horsemen' only greet the fans in their mother tongues

  • 'the ginger motherf*cker' went further.

  • French is second language we can hear at Megadeth concerts, and not just in France, but everywhere.

  • You know why: 'A Tout Le Monde' was partly written in French.

  • ave took lessons to sing the lines as good and possible.

  • Dave: "Better?" Teacher: "Not better"

  • Get ridding of an accent is a very hard thing, and I totally understand Mustaine's efforts.

  • "HI FRRRIENDS! \m/"

  • Another exampleSpanish version of 'Trust'.

  • I bet, it's a big pleasure to hear your favorite band singing in your native language.

  • Or even dedicating a whole song to your country!

  • #3 - Back to the roots

  • Whee did Metallica go back to the roots?

  • Somebody counts Death Magnetic, or Hardwired, or that they still are swimming far away from there.

  • Talking about Megadeth, their first attempt to back to the roots was in 2001 with 'The World Needs a Hero'.

  • So, they did it much earlier than Metallica.

  • Moreover, there're three things on 'Hero' which we may count as direct references to the old-school Megadeth:

  • a sequel to 'Hangar 18' called 'Return to Hangar'

  • a composition called 'When' which is a mix of 'The Call of Ktulu' and 'Am I Evil?'

  • and 'Dread & Fugitive Mind', the solo of which (and riffing on it) reminds me 'Tornado of Souls'.

  • "I need a break"

  • [playing 'In My Darkest Hour' and 'The Call of Ktulu']

  • Was that a real 'come back'?

  • Comparing to the previous record 'Risk', which was the most pop sounding album by the whole 'The Big 4'

  • 'The World Needs a Hero' was true metal.

  • #4 - Total albums / songs count

  • And we just can't miss the fact that Megadeth has released more albums and songs than Metallica.

  • Side-projects and covers don't count.

  • Megadeth: 15 studio albums / 169 songs

  • Metallica: 10 / 115

  • Not talking about how good or bad they are: just dry numbers.

  • And there's one more thing: Megadeth has a ton of bonus tracks (12-20, depends on how to count)

  • And they all are pretty legit.

  • A few to remember: 'Angry Again', 'Kill the King', 'Duke Nukem Theme', 'Absolution'

  • Metallica has only 5 or 8 – 'Beyond Magnetic', 'Lords of Summer', 'I Disappear, 'No Leaf Clover', '-Human'.

  • #5 - Mascot

  • Well, it's an arguable 'VICtory'.

  • But if to scale the albums artworks considering throughout conceptuality and hidden details,

  • I'd give preference to Megadeth.

  • Dave came up with the mascot Vic Rattlehead

  • n adorable skeleton, a kind of post-apocalyptic version of the '3 wise monkeys'

  • and he appears in almost every album (in different variants), sometimes being quite hidden.

  • Perhaps, Metallica never needed a mascot

  • But the fact that Megadeth has one gives them a few extra points.

  • Anyway, I'd like to hear your thoughts about that. What could also give some points to Dave and company?

  • Subscribe to my channels if you're a fan of metal, Metallica and Megadeth in particular

  • And support me on Patreon if you like what I do.

  • Thanks for watching. It's Andriy Vasylenko. #BeInMetal \m/
