Metallica's Four Horsemen vs Megadeth's Mechanix 

four horsemen for the lyrics, mechanix for the speed and quality

Four Mechanix

Both are great, but the mechanix just has that feel too it that i cant seem to find in many Metallica songs.

I listened to the Mechanix first, so when I finally came around to the Four Horsemen, the riff sounded so slow.

Love kill em all but Mechanix is top

im gonna be honest they both are amazing songs

I like The Four Horsemen for it's musical integrity, and I like Mechanix for it's speed and intensity. I can't really pick one over the other because they're both amazing!!!

Imagine this: Music - Mechanix Lyrics - The Four Horsemen

Mechanix

The Four Horsemen sounds more charged, legendary and heavy, as well as having badass lyrics. Mechanix is also badass by itself, the higher speed, the more angsty nature and the more “laid back” vocals make it sound like more a traditional hardcore punk song. But overall, I have to go with The Four Horsemen.

the four horsemen. metallica is my favorite band. no other band makes me feel as invincible and all powerful as metallica does when i listen to them. i love the feel their music brings me it’s amazing i love them. i also love megadeth dont get me wrong just not as much

The instrumentation in the mechanix is better but the lyrics of the four horsemen are just so much more badass so idk

I definitely prefer Mechanix. It's not just that its faster and that the drums are better, its basically a war cry to Metallica. Dave wanted to be the better faster band. I feel like Mechanix was his way of saying "I'm coming for you." You can just feel the animosity in the speed and precision of Mechanix, i love it

Both are amazing, if i want an adrenaline rush i listen to mechanix and if i want to hear a Epic Biblical story i listen to the four horsemen

If Metallica and Megadeth could do a crossover with the music for Mechanix but the Lyrics for The Four Horsemen it'd be legendary

Haha at the Halifax show megadeath closed with that song. And we were all singing the Metallica version lol

the four horsemen, mainly because some of the main guitar riffs sound like horses galloping

Dave Mustaine wrote the middle part of the four horsemen when Lars recommended that they had a slow part in the middle, on the way to the studio Dave and Cliff were listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Dave played the sweet home Alabama riff for the middle section, this was not written after Dave left

Love both but I like the sped up riff to mechanix better than the riff to TFHM.

mechanix nukes the four horsemen into space

Honestly depends on what I'm doing. Four Horsemen hits during endurance related stuff where I need focus, and Mechanix hits when I'm doing looser high intensity stuff

Mechanix drums are so good

If I could get the Four Horsemen’s lyrics with the speed of Mechanix, The Four Horsemen would be perfect

Mechanix all day.

Both great imo

Jason screaming die die die and singing The four horseman is priceless Imho

Four horsemen, it's solid. Mechanix honestly just sounds like Dave is rushing the song.

The horse mechanix.

Definetley mechanix I think. Its the definition or rather defines thrash metal. Fast, aggressive, vulgar, raw and unhinged but with a lot of musical skill. And it just sounds more badass

4 Horseman is 🔥

In fact if you watch last shows with mustaine its already the same structure of Four Horsemen with the changes

Although I'm more a megadeth fan. Gotta say The four horsemen was definitely better. Lyrical and musically absolutely kickass

Depends on which of the two bands and which of the two versions I prefer from time to time. Both are good.

The Metallica tattoo on my left arm says The Four Horsemen

Original The Mechanix from No life 'til leather

Four horsemen is superior

Mechanix but i love both bands and i think he actually wrote during panic

Mechanix because it's spelt wrong, and it's finally a metal song that's not about killing, blood or death

For speed and complexity the ORIGINAL: Mechanix.For being more memorable and better live : Four Horsemen

Mechanix is just one big flex

Both has its own qualities, The 4 Horsemen is awesome and has that Metallica sound but The Mechanix has that faster speed plus the cool sound of a recording that you get only on a demo which makes it sound cooler.

Both are badass in their own way, I couldn't possibly choose......but I do love that shirt. HELL YEAH BRO!!!! PANTERA FUCKIN ROCKS!!!!!

Mechanix is definetely the better song because it doesnt have the sweet home alabama riff, and ppl just shit on it because Dave sucks at singing. It was written for Metallica, so it fits James’ voice better.

On leather steeds they ride, they come to take your life...

Dave helped rewrite it into the 4 horseman

Didn’t Dave play the 4 horseman in Metallica as well? He wrote the slow “sweet home Alabama” riff that Lars loved originally as a joke

The mechanix

Dave great guitar player, writes good stuff, but the four horsemen just has a better feel to it

I mean in my opinion both these songs are amazing in there own ways,but if I am gonna be on a Desert island for the rest of my life and I had to choose between these two songs,it would be the four horsemen.

HEY MICAH, IT'S JOHN MARSTON

Four Horsemen! Great lyrics!!

Mechanix is too fast to make out the notes, it doesn’t have the same groove at that insane tempo. Horsemen is better on the albums, but I think I prefer no life till leather’s Mechanix tbh.

Mechanix clearly

I think Mechanix is better pace and rhythm wise but 4 horsemen is better in style still tho Mechanix is way better for me personally

Mechanix drums and speed, Horsemen’s lyrics and tone.

Both are very good songs. I enjoy listening to them both

Mechanix.just sounds more like how The guitarist and singer wanted it to be,Oh wait...

The four horsemen

Mechanix for its agression speed power and 4hoursman for its groove anazing bass work love the lynard skynard SHA riff and kirk's solos except there probly Dave's solos, and how it's more progressive but I like mechanix how fast aggressive powerfull heavier so both equally good depends on how i feel

Naaaah man bro is wearing a Pantera T-shirt in Metallica - Megadeth discussion 😭

4 horsemen. Its slower, heavier and around 2 minutes into the track, theres a riff that sounds likes horse feet stomping.

2 mechanix , 1 horseman

Dave mustaine knew he was kicked for those reasons but he chooses to blame it on Metallica because he was drugged at the time so now he still goes with the same excuse today. The four horsemen is goated

Four horsemen has the better lyrics but mechanix is definitely heavier and faster

Horsemen has Cliff Mechanix doesnt have Cliff Horsemen wins

Both are just rad.

I like listening to Four Horseman more, but Mechanics is more fun to play on guitar because it's faster.

Like both - but im gonna go with The Four Horsemen

Four horsemen’s lyrics are just better, but I vastly prefer the solo and speed of mechanix. It’s a tough one for sure but I think I’m gonna have to go with the four horsemen just because of the lyrics and James’ vocals, totally get both tho.

Mechanix. But the four horseman is crazy

The for macanix is what I like

The Mechanic Horsemen

I have the shirt too!

Mechanix for the vibe.much more punk-thrashy sound.

Metallideth - four mechanix

The Mechanix (sans unnecessary intro) > Four Horsemen. With tempo being equal, Horsemen has the superior lyics

I think both have their merits

Mechanix obviously. It’s a way better song, and I also prefer listening to the song the way it was intended to be. The Four Horsemen is basically a cover with new lyrics.

half of the tracks on ride the lightning is dave

Can we like both? I love both

Four horse men is good but mechanix is blood pumping head banging good

Four Horsemen with 200 bpm

Mechanix Hoursmen

The Four Horsemen

the 4 horsemen obviously the fuk😂

Mechanix may be a better speed metal song, but Four Horsemen has a groove and soul.

Mechanix for both.

Four Horsemen played by a Tribute band was extremely heavy but if i wanna get whiplash faster Mechanix all the way

Four horsemen lyrics guitar mechanix

4 horsemen. Easily

Four horsemen is so so good

Mechanix for life

Four horse man .. 🤘

Both. Both are good

Horsemen. Even at Mechanix tempo, it's still the superior composition, likely due, in no small part, to Cliff Burton's songwriting chops, even at 21 years old. Note: I am no Cliff Burton Stan, but I recognize the talent.

Mechanix Horsemen.

FOUR HORSEMEN

Both are great but after listening mechanix, 4 horsemen sounded like a country song.

for me it's The Four Horsemen at mechanix speed haha

Mechanix, I love the raw sound. You can hear the anger coming through Dave in that song. KIMB has some bangers on it, they just didn't produce and mix it great.
