what the fuck planet do you live on where you can't name a song by metallica
― James Ferraro Boyz (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 16 September 2011 03:00 (twelve years ago) link
I'm happy to see Whiney rightly rank Mustaine as the best guitarist here though Hanneman's a fucking monster (everybody's heard his demo tape where he basically writes "Reign in Blood"?) & probably the more "important" guitarist - people understate Slayer's impact on black metal I think, Slayer was thinking harder & better about atmosphere than any of their contemporaries except Celtic Frost. Megadeth live in their prime were better than any of these except maybe Anthrax who've been getting called underrated for so long now that it's a tired take but fuck it, it's still true. (I read a great piece on Anthrax this week by a certain dude, nice work dude.) I'm not a Cliff purist about Metallica, it's not like they sucked after Cliff but if you watch old footage that dude brought a lot to the stage - once Cliff was gone Metallica wasn't who they were before whereas Megadeth was then in take-no-prisoners mode.
But I don't know man Slayer is fucking hard to fuck with but musically Megadeth is kinda...better? until they start sucking that is
good poll

If it was just two albums (Lightning and Puppets) I'd totally pick Metallica but as an overall band it's probably Slayer. I always appreciated Anthrax and Megadeth in some way but neither of them really did as much for me as I felt they should have.

completely true. nice deep groovy record that is not at all a piece with, uh, the big four.

― mutant slow drum (BradNelson), Friday, 16 September 2011 09:32 (twelve years ago) link
Hammett is a pretty awesome guitarist. I'd say the only clear "best musician among the bunch" is Lombardo, but these guitarists are all pretty cool composers/arrangers. Benante is the drummer Lars would always cite as why it he needed to slow down rather than try and keep up.
Anthrax and Megadeth have the best sense of humor (not hard, given that Metallica and Slayer are generally humorless).
I'm no Cliff purist, either, but his melodicism sets him apart from the usual invisible metal bassists. But I draw the line when the baton is passed from Jason to Trujillo, who is like Daryl Johnson in the Stones, talent-wise, slumming it.
(Speaking of which, heard an awesome story that when Johnson tried out for the Stones, they asked him to play "Start Me Up" or something, and when he said he wasn't familiar with it they cracked up so hard his joining the band was pretty much set.)

It seems like after that, no one seemed to hold the office of the President in such high regard.Mustaine: Not anymore. I don’t think so because of the things that have taken place and the mistrust. Plus when you look at “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying,” what the whole concept behind that whole album is pretty much about — us as a people and the youth of America as an individual … I don’t want to say “faction” that’s the wrong word, but an entity, on its own. The youth of America being justified, finally, coming of age, and being able to look at things and being able to say ‘You know what? I don’t want this Manchurian Candidate as our President.” Back then, it’s the same thing now. I look at the way Obama has been selling our country off and all the ways things are happening and the way that our economy is plummeting. Why won’t we tap Alaska? And why did we take so long to act on the Gulf? Why did we take so long to act in Libya? Why?! Where’s his birth certificate? You know what, that birth certificate he showed everybody … I remember buying one of those to go buy booze. Hello Obama. C’mon dude, they used to sell those in the back of Creem magazine for $3.Read more: Dave Mustaine at 'Peace' in his career | Goldmine Magazine http://www.goldminemag.com/features/dave-mustaine-at-peace-in-his-career-25-years-later#ixzz1YEyASm5M
