if it wasnt for dave mustaine, you would have never heard of metallica. He WAS metallica, until james and lars kicked him out of the band and stole all of his ideas.

the greatest band ever to live. better than metallica, they use different scale types and more emotionally based solos than metallica and their use of the e pentatonic scale for every song. dave mustaine didnt cut his hair and turn all gay like metallica, he still knows what metal is, and even though they've strayed from the olden days when they kicked more ass than ever, they will always be the world's best metal band. enough said.
Bill: im gonna go listen to metallica, the greatest, most original band ever
Mark: haven't you heard of megadeth?
Bill: No. who are they?
(Bill listens to megadeth)
Bill: wow they are much better! set the world afire totally kicks enter sandmans ass!!!

A metal band formed by ex metallica guitarist Dave Mustaine. Mustaine holds a grudge against metallica, one of the main reasons is he is a writer of most of their songs on their first two cds, including the call of ktulu which mustaine remaid into Hanger 18. Metallica titled one of their songs 'Holier then thou'which was a lyric from the song 'Holy wars...the punishment due'from the megadeth album that came out a year before leading fans to believe that this song is directed towards dave. On Megadeths newest album the song Something im not is rumored towards Metallica members. the band was forced to quit when Mustaine suffered a nerve injury in his hand. He turned to christianity and was soon able to play guitar again. ellifson the bassist sued dave for not giving him his share of the money made of megadeth. and lars and Dave still hate each other even after their 'makeup' on the Some kind of monster DVD released by metallica.

THE greatest metal band in all of history. Single handedly paved the way for thrash and speed metal. Formed in 1984 after Dave Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica, and thank god he was. Formed Megadeth as a rival to Metallica and proved without a doubt why he is the god that he is. Megadeth are the premier speed metal band, incredible solos, mind blowing lyrics and insanely good albums, ever single one of Megadeth's albums pisses all over Metallica. Stayed true to their roots, didn't sell out like Metallica and are still rockin' hard today. Restored my faith in metal and caused me to start my own religion with Mustaine as the chief god - Megadethism aka Mustaineism. Join today!

in deciding between metallica and megadeth, you have to ask do you care about ability, or passion, emmotion and song writing?
