I mean there are only a handful of Megadeth songs in their entire catalog that can be fairly represented with one riff ex: symphony of destruction, she-wolf, a tour le monde. but especially in those early albums there would be like 5 or 6 killer riffs a song lol
Metallica is like choosing to be a warrior in skyrim it's heavy downpicking, chugging and barbaric But megadeth is like choosing to be a mage so technical and magical in its own way
Good way of looking at it never thought of it that way. I'm a big fan of both bands. I hate how megadeth fanboys talk about their speed and complexity and number of solos etc as "proof" they're better than metallica lol. It's not better it's just different that is why I love em both and always have. I never understood the one sided people who deprive themselves of the other bands material why pick sides? We can like both the always have lol.
@@jeinfimate2079 You'll find metallica fans dont mention Megadeth nearly as much as Megadeth fans will mention Metallica. I love both bands but prefer Metallica for the variety and stronger songwriting and prefer Megadeth for its guitar playing.
@@Squall6575 here comes an uninvited dirty nose.Read again.It's not about who is whose bigger fan.His comment on Megadeth fanboys is correct.But then,what about Metallica fanboys that claim simpler and slower,the better? That was my question.
@@jeinfimate2079 your problem is with a small segment of metallica fans, considering a lot of them also listen to Megadeth and other metal bands. Youre just resorting to what-about-isms because you felt called out by the comment you replied to. Its ok to like both bands regardless of fanbases
Personally I'm glad Dave got kicked because I got 2 amazing bands instead of 1! Dave is a jerk and so is Lars but luckily I don't live with either of them. Just enjoy the music people, it's been 40 years for God's sake 🤟

Megadeth is still relevant, I remember I kind of lose interest on them once as I was into another type of music, then I heard United Abominations immediately they got my attention back then they released Endgame which was insanely good, 13 was kind of meh but still good then Supercollider which made Chris quit but Dystopia was aired and they grabbed my attention again, Mustaine listens to his albums a lot and is very critical towards them, that's why even if comes with a bad album like Supercollider or Risk he fixes course, same if he is going onto a kind of boring album like with 13 or Hidden treasures he starts re thinking about how to make something with attitude, identity and able to be put against the current year best albums.
1986 - I was in 8th grade and the music that year (also Slayer - Reign in Blood) would make me a metal head for life! Best single year of metal music (IMO). \m/
First off your playing is amazing. I wish Mustain got more credit for his skill. I love both bands but the intricacy of his riffs take some of Megadeth's music to another level.
Peace Sells is a top tier thrash metal album but Master is so much more than “just” an excellent thrash album, it’s a masterpiece that transcends genre.
Yeah Puppets was the best album of 86 IMO. First album I ever really listened to that got me into music, honestly. Peace Sells is great, but Mustaine was still trying to find his sound at that point. The cover song is funny, but it kind of kills the vibe that the rest of the album has. Rust In Peace was Megadeth's Puppets. That album was lightning in a bottle at that time. Unfortunately, the remaster sucks & is ruined with the re-recorded vocals on songs like Take No Prisoners & Five Magics.
Agreed, Master of Puppets is a juggernaut. Simple test: Ask anyone who knows the album well: "what's the worst song on MOP?" You'll be waiting a long time for an answer. The trifecta RTL, MOP, and AJFA albums were just absolutely great epic albums.
Both are great albums but to me "Black Friday" rips more than another other song on either album. Over all I might agree that Puppets is a better record but songs like Wake Up Dead, The Conjuring and Black Friday tip the scale for me as they are more aggressive and better riffs all over. Its a tough call.
1986 was the greatest year in metal history. Master Of Puppets is my favorite of these two but seriously they are both amazing albums. Great work, Suffocater!
I love both of these albums. In fact, these two are my favorite albums. But I give the winner to Master Of Puppets. It's not just my favorite Metallica album, it's my favorite album of all time.
As a Kid I first got to listened to Metallica, I was introduced by my uncle during my teens to Megadeth,since then I'm hooked to their music and I'm more of a Megadeth fan
Никогда не скажу - Это хорошее, а то плохое ! Если я люблю эти группы , то разумеется я буду их слушать. Все эти композиции нам дарили адреналин и настроение, и не престанут надоедать внося в это творчество огромный вклад !
Wow. These albums instantly transport me back to 8th grade! It was 1991 and I had just discovered metal. Bought these tapes with my allowance and had to hide them from my parents because they said metal was a tool of the devil!
More complex riffs on the side of Megadeth which show their tru skill and awesome sound, but also the simplicity from Metallica which shows how heavy it can be.
@@222MovieMan yea this is true but technicality doesn't always equal better. You can have super simple awesome songs that are heavy as hell just ask tony iommi lol. James Hatfield did this in metallica as well. Metallica have some fast songs too but it don't necessarily have to be fast to be badass and heavy. Metallica proves that like sabbath does.
Yeah. That is a very tough call. Both albums have their merits. The only low point is I ain't superstitious, but the amount of quality riffs on the rest of the album make up for it. Master of puppets is such a triumphant, well balanced tour de force, yet Peace Sells is like a rabid dog trying to break lose from it's chains! I love it all!
I love both albums, but the Puppets album just seems less "gimmicky" to me. I'm not saying that Mustaine was coming off that way, but to my ears the body of work with MOP was 100% solid front to back. I wore that cassette tape out, bought another one before I bought a CD.
@Mega Faggot I know. What do you think about covers? It's not my thing to be honest. I saw Metallica and GNR before the pandemic and nearly a quarter of their sets was covers. I want to hear their stuff. They have so many great songs that they don't play.
I ain't superstitious solos, that's what makes it awesome, this is the reason why these comparisons do not go over the solos and it is because Megadeth has a lot of players and they are on another league.
both albums created a fork in the road, they were both thrash but one was more brutal and influenced heavier genres whereas the other was catchy and more rock leaning, influencing more melodic and technical based genres.
Awesome video. Would love to see more like this album vs album caparison. Its a total tie for me. Would love to see maybe Slayer vs. Pantera or really Slayer vs anyone else. 🙂 Your videos are amazing. Thank you!
started loving metallica as a kid, listened to all the albums and thought they were amazing, i still think theyre amazing, i grew up with metallica, but then i found megadeth and was more blown away than id ever been in my life, the composition and complexity of the music and pace they carry while having the sound they do is unlike anything else ive heard before, dave mustaine has cemented himself as the thrash metal GOAT! no matter who youre a fan of, there is no denying the huge contribution that mustaine made to metallica either!
I'll never understand people that "can't get past Dave's vocals." Thrash metal is supposed to have crazy vocals, ie, Exodus, Overkill, Nuclear Assault. Do you not like those vocals either?
@@hoofhearted6900 If you like Dave's vocals that's cool man. I don't. Many other people don't either so there must be something to his tone and delivery that's not enjoyable to some people. Its almost like when he's singing he sounds like someone who's making fun of the way someone sings, like purposely sounding a little ridiculous and odd. Not sure how you can compare his singing to any of the bands you mentioned because he has a unique delivery that's all his own.
@@SonnyJ26 I get where you're coming from. It's probably why I like the first two Megadeth albums the most... even compared to Rust in Peace, on which I thought Mustaine was trying to hard to sing. I liked his guttural approach on songs like Wake up Dead, and just thought it really captured their mood and tone.
Peace sells is a much better album, I know popularity always wins but the amount of creativity Dave and Chris and the rest of band showed in that album was mind blowing, the album was really way ahead of its time. Especially songs like my last words, Black Friday, bad omen and the conjuring, songs that are so complicated and with so much taste. Dave is such a brilliant songwriter and this video doesn’t really fully show the songs in all of its best but still appreciate it.
@@daroblackheart383 I prefer Master of Puppets, raw vocal talent of James, in which you can clearly hear every word, and you have Cliff's masterpice Orion, with thee twin guitar solos at the end. It's the greatest Metal experience for the ear.
Peace Sells is just unwinnable, the riffage, jazzy style, Samuelson's drums and Poland's solos just make the album. There's so many different layers in songs like Bad Omen, Black Friday / Good Mourning and The Conjuring: slow and haunting intros and so many different riffs and tempo switches.
My opinion is that thrash metal throughout the 80s was focused so much on the riff and how it was constructed. The riff was one of the most important aspects of how the song was going to sound. Love live thrash metal!!
Slayer vs Dark Angel Annihilator vs Overkill Death Angel vs Sacred Reich Sepultura vs Sodom Kreator vs Destruction Anthrax vs Exodus Testament vs Forbidden Flotsam and Jetsam vs Heathen Helstar vs Laaz Rockit Sacrifice vs Vio-Lence Defiance vs Atrophy Sanctuary vs Vicious Rumors Nuclear Assault vs Evildead Wratchild America vs Powermad Helloween vs Blind Guardian
@@vikinglife6316 This is thrash/speed metal band with 'clean' vocals...Death in different league like Morbid Angel, Obituary, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse etc....
My god imagine what we could possibly still get if Mustaine and Hetfield got together and composed. The percussive attack of Hetfield with Mustaine complex rhythms and technique. Needless to say, 1986 was the absolute best year for metal. Peace Sells is my absolute favorite album of all time. And MoP is just a masterpiece of art.
@@SpectorEuro4 Dave can't even not be a dick in public, why would Hetfield think he's going to behave in a studio? Besides, only one band would need it - it's the one crying that the other released their "pandemic" record at the same time as every other artist did.
@@rocketpigrecords3719 Dude’s pulling out stuff from the 90s. The guy is already 62, has gone thru cancer and other shit in his life. I’m sure he’s not the same Dave from before. He had a good presence on the big 4 concert.
@@SpectorEuro4 he is though He constantly bitches about Metallica, if he isn't bitching about Ellefson and Marty and everyone else he fired or who quit. Last guy quit by playing the Enter Sandman solo over something like Countdown mid show. Hilarious, deserved. I was an extra in the Moto Psycho video, met Dave, signed my Cryptic Writings CD. Cool to fans, but talked shit about Metallica at the earliest opportunity all the same. And he was "being diplomatic", lol.
Heavy metal vs glam metal please. Heavy metal band : Judas priest Black sabbath Iron maiden Saxon Motorhead Deep purple Ozzy osbourne Dio band Glam metal band : Ratt Motley crue Twisted sister Def leppard Poison Cinderella White lion
I'm STRICTLY ADHERING to my New Year's resolution... Watching all of the Suffocators' videos in 2022!! Ya know, whenever I either: get/have new audio goodies installed or DIY it, I'll slip 'And Justice for All' as I believe 'Blackened' IS the dynamic standard all should bow and weep to (done it EVERY SINGLE TIME since it's release)...in a completely-unrelated-to- your-upload kinda way!!
Such an amazing time to be alive! Glad I was in my prime teenage years when all of this was coming out. I was 16 at the time! So many great bands and music! A party time type of vibe all of the time. 😃
It was the best thing that could have ever happened to everyone involved including the fans. It's kind of stupid how some like to pick one or the other and dog the other I don't understand that mindset there is so much to love from both bands.
This is becoming ridiculous. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Master Of Puppets (as a whole) is much more meaningful to me, and the better album. But when it comes to just the riffs... it's a total tie. Mustaine and Hetfield = Geniuses. TheSuffocater = Almost there.
both albums great....both bands legendary! You have to be in two different mindsets. Both bands are totally different....with an entirely different vibe!
Both such important albums in my life! Puppets wins by a hair cause it's perfect all the way through, Peace Sells has I ain't superstitious and that song doesn't fit the album But I noticed listening to those riffs on Peace Sells how similar the vibe is to Cowboys from Hell , Pantera obviously took influence from Dave's riffs
Battery and Wake Up Dead are equally brilliant to me Puppets < The Conjuring Thingy < Peace Sells Sanitarium > Devil's Island Disposable > Black Friday Messiah < Bad Omen Orion >>>>>>>>>> Every track on both albums Damage Inc > My Last Words MOP > PS As someone else stated, Peace Sells is a top tier thrash album, but Puppets is one of the greatest albums of all time regardless of genre.
He didn’t even pick the best riff from Black Friday lol so I would have said Black Friday easy. And he actually didn’t play my last words riff right, and I don’t blame him it’s not an easy riff to pull off.
Even though Both sound great I think after you have learned MOP songs they could get quite repetitive. While songs like Black Friday, Bad Omen, and The conjuring have some of the most destructive riffs created in Metal. The Conjuring part in this video is literally the devils riff. Super Fucking Heavy. Black Friday sounds like chainsaws, and Bad Omen is just ripping you apart of how fast Dave plays it live. BUT MOP riffs are all consistently heavy and lay foundations for what future heavy metal albums should sound like. While Peace sells, KIMB, So Far, and Rust in Peace can never be recreated. That just shows how unique of a Riff master Dave is. I do not think any fan boy can deny that both bands sound great here.
Master of Puppets is the better album, it's Metallica's best and one of the very best metal albums of all time. Megadeth's best album is Rust in Peace, that would have been a much, much closer affair for me. Peace Sells is still great, though.
