The best speed metal band in the world! The fast guitar solos, amazing lyrics, and drum rhythms are only part of what make Megadeth the best.
Megadeth's RUST IN PEACE is probably their best album ever.

One of the greatest, most influential metal bands to ever have been formed, lead by the musical genius, lead singer and rhythm guitarist Dave Mustaine. They are highly underrated, because they pioneered some styles of heavy metal, the majority of thrash metal, and began speed metal.

Dave Mustaine was kicked from Metallica after his problems with drugs and alcohol and becoming violent. Though he held a short grudge, he set a goal that he would become better, faster, and heavier than Metallica. Therefore, it is for a fact, that Megadeth is the better, more consistent band. Metallica is still a good band, nonetheless. Dave Mustaine was the lead guitarist of Metallica, and thus is skilled in that area as well, and has a place in playing about 40% of Megadeth's solos. Although his solos aren't excellently clean, they are THRASH! His lyrics are also very well-written, and meaningful.

Those who bash Megadeth, saying things like "fuk off megadth iz the worst band in the wurld fuck you and all of you megadeth bitchs, go metallica!" ... Clearly, you're uneducated, the only words that are projected from your mouths are 'Metallica' and 'fuck', and have not heard more than three Megadeth songs, or enough to get used to their style.
Isn't it ironic that every single one of Megadeth's guitarists are better than Kirk? Megadeth's solos DO NOT consist of simply pentatonic scales.

Mustaine wrote songs like Ride the Lightning and The Four Horsemen (Mechanix), which his style can clearly be heard in. As Metallica progressed after Mustaine was fired, musically they strayed from Mustaine's style, allowing for a decline in the quality of their music.

Most explosive than a nuclear bomb. Frontman Dave Mustaine is the main trigger for the explosion. Best band in the world!
Megadeth is the rain blood that runs in my veins

Short: Better than Metallica, a lot better.

Long: A Thrash Metal band formed in the eighties when guitarist Dave Mustaine got kicked out of Metallica; Mustaine later forms his own band Megadeth. Megadeth's career follows Metallica's like a shadow, including the less-thrashy albums like Countdown to Extinction and Risk (Though it can be said that those albums are better than Metallica's album during the 90s). Most metalheads, along with the Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, agree that Megadeth is superior to Metallica.
Megadeth pwns Metallica in every way (except vocals)

the best metal band... correction, best band in the universe. lead by Dave Mustaine, megadeth kicks more arse then anyone or anything. Dave was kicked out of metallica, but look at him now, Metallica fucked up bad with St.Anger and Megadeth released probably the best heavy metal/metal album of all time; the system has failed. too bad mustaine got rid of Ellefson and Friedman and Menza, those guys kicked soo much arse, but James Glenn and Shaun still kick arse
Bob: Fuck you Jesus, i found a new religion, its called Megadeth
Jesus: Why, wot do they hav that i dont?
Bob: They play kick arse music, and fucking mad guitar solo's
Jesus: really, FUCK YEH I LOVE MEGADETH!!

Megadeth is my religion, and Dave Mustaine is my god!!!
