![]() Metallica set the stage for what was to become mainsteam, Megadeth tried to become mainstream but never gained enough popularity.
My top favorites are Metallica, Slayer, White/Rob Zombie, Danzig, Disturbed, Rammstein, Linkin Park, Sepultra For a mixture or metal/classical/Christmas the Trans Siberian Orchestra is great and if you ever get to see them in concert you will be amazed. Extremely talented musicians. I listen to bit symphonic metal such as Therion and Celtic Frost as well. There is lots of others but I only listen to few of their songs. |

safe to say dave wrote most of the songs with hettfield and burton in fact all the first album and most of ride the lightning. megadeth had no choice but to try and go mainstream , remember the late 80's and early 90's?? brutal for metal with all that grunge etc. lol hettfield , great guitarist and musician , in fact ive seen them in concert over a dozen times and met kirk(wasnt great either lol) and i give full credit to james , hes whats kept metallica going year after year to influence every great metal muscian today ![]() fact is , kirks no bethoven lol

![]() They all had a hand in the bands development but Lars actually started it. I agree that not everyone is a Kirk fan but I will give him credit that his solos actually fit the songs they are in and when people hear a part of the solo they know what song it came from. Most metal song solos just sound like they were made up on the spot and are quite forgettable.

![]() As far as Dave goes, who else could get kicked out of a band on the way to stardom and still end up a major star with his own band. Megadeth put out some of the most influential metal albums of the 80's. I think its a true testament to his talent. As for Metallica, Dave & Cliff were the real talent, I'm sure Cliff starting rolling over in his grave in the 90's with the **** Metallica was putting out.
And how come nobody mentions Overkill??? Most underrated American Thrash Metal Band ever. Going since 1980 and still staying true to the music with both studio albums and live shows. Even through the 90's they still did what they always did weather it was mainstream or not. |

![]() My all time fav has to be the TRUE metal GODS Judas Priest or anything from Rob Halford. His other 2 bands, FIGHT & Halford and kick ass, he also had a 3rd band called TWO.
Big Ozzy, Metalica, Megadeath, Maiden, Coheed & Cambria, Striker, Zombie, Hell Ya & Penny Wise fan but you can never forget the pioneers like Sabbath, Dio, Moterhead & naturally Priest. There are so many versions of metal out there but Im really not a big fan of the "scream like your nuts are in a vise" form of metal like Lamb of God.
