Mustaine Says ‘Endgame’ Is Better Than ‘Death Magnetic’

megadeth90Is he right? Have your say now!

Dave Mustaine has told ‘The Big Dumb Radio Show’ in Kalamazoo, Michigan that he thinks ‘Endgame’ is better than ‘Death Magnetic’.

When asked about if he gets annoyed by the constant questions about Metallica, Mustaine says: “Nah, it depends on what they’re talking about. If it’s the ‘he-said-she-said’ stuff, that’s not OK, because they weren’t there. But if it’s stuff like talking about anything that was to happen, currently or in the future, it’s total speculation and it’s up in the air. I really don’t like talking about it, because I have a new record out and I’ve heard both records, and I think mine’s better. And that’s not a dig at them; it’s just how I feel. And I know that they’ve got a lot of records that are better than the stuff I’ve put out, but not all of it, and certainly not the stuff that we made together.”

Endgame is far superior to Death Magnetic!!! However Mustaine is a total twat.

king of heavy metal

to be honest i prefer death magnetic as it was a return to form where as end game is just a very boring album with only 2 good songs in my own opinion

Endgame is much superior than Death magnetic……

@ king of heavy metal, open well ur ears bitch, metallica has stopped creating HEAVY METAL for more than a decade now…..

u shud agree…. DAVE IS GOD

Stephen Wilkinson

Ive had enough of how big mustaines head is. He is a moaning git. Im not a Magadeth fan, but im well aware that the band have talent, but he just needs to shut up for a while. Death Magnetic is very cool tho

He’s right, it is better than Death Magnetic. Doesn’t stop him being a self-obsessed, irritating cretin though. What next? ‘Mustaine says ‘Endgame’ better than oxygen… oh, and he’s not bitter about being kicked out of Metallica’? Ridiculous man.

Metal militia

I think the guitar-work in Endgame is totally out of this world and isn’t matched in Death magnetic. But i’m not impressed with Mustaine’s vocals and as an album in general I think Death magnetic is better.

I just think it’s time he dropped all this to be honest. It seems like every time I read something about this album there’s a comparison to Metallica and it’s just getting so old.

Where Strides The Behemoth

King of Heavy Metal, agreed completely

Its not Mustaine fault after all, its the press who constantly ask these stupid questions…..

Bee_Gee

*here Dave, let me take that chip off your shoulder*

Let’s stop with the giant pissing contest shall we? I think everyone’s sick of hearing about it. I’m a fan of both bands but I do raise a glass to the ‘tallicA crew for very rarely (if ever) biting back.

The media may be the ones asking, but he doesn’t have to answer. Sometimes a generic and diplomatic answer is best-suited. Do that enough times, they’ll get the hint and stop asking the question.

puresincerity

obviously…and?

engame is soo much better but i h8 people like mustian tho stop biggin yourself up twat

YES it is 100% better than Death Magnetic way heavier than it

Death Magnetic is way better every song is amazing off that album. Alot of megadeths songs sound the same. I was expecting something different on Endgame.

This is getting sooooo old!!! C’mon Mustaine, stop being so fucking bitter and leave it alone once and for all. We all know you have a HUGE ego and that you’ve made an excellent album so stop ruining it by running your mouth off! I like both bands but I’m getting pissed off with him more and more, every chance he gets he’s getting a dig in. It’s pathetic! I’m not sure if the media’s to blame because Mustaine himself never shuts up about Metallica in interviews. So who’s at fault then? Mustaine or the press??

MegaBonez

Mustaine can’t forget the whole Metallica business, because people and the press won’t let him. So, I think he has evry right to be proud of his work and to show it. Endgame is a much better album than Death Magnetic.

There’s a difference between being proud of your own work and thinking it’s better than someone elses, and being bitter about the other band. Mustaine ftw

Megadeth are much better then Metallica who have lived of 1 good album.

Endgame pisses all over Death Magnetic

The Mark of Zur En Arrh

Endgame is definitely better.

You’d have a grudge too if you were kicked out of the biggest metal band ever for no reason, and they even released YOUR music on their first 2 albums AND used footage of you in your movie when you specifically asked them not to.

Death Magnetic only has 3 really good songs for me, ENDGAME is great for start to finish.

Endgame :)

Death Magnetic is better
I h8 the way dave is competing against metallica
He probably made the album to say ohh im better than metallica

HES A TWAT
WHINING TWAT

Whats this Death Magnetic album everyone talking about? I thought Metalica died in a horrific plane crash 19 years ago?

Fuck you all !

Just saw Metallica live… They Suck !
Megadeth al the way ! Pussies !

Half the posters are the “twats”. Look at the full quote. Next time, lets get the whole quote in there, ok, Metal Hammer?

“I’ve heard both records, and I think mine’s better. And that’s not a dig at them; it’s just how I feel. And I know that they’ve got a lot of records that are better than the stuff I’ve put out, but not all of it, and certainly not the stuff that we made together.”

Yes… Dave is right!

Well, If he said that he thought Death Magentic was better, that would be kind of odd

IAN G MITCHELL

With total respect the whole Dave Mustaine Metallica bebate is a bore, both bands in their own right are bawesome. However Metallica are and always will be far superior. Death Magnetic is a better album for one main reason, is sounds fresh and new and fucking amazing where as the end game just sounds the same old Megadeath. Whish is all good but get over it Dave for fuck sake

IAN G MITCHELL

Message to Mr D Mustaine, you have had some success and are very talented, however everytime a mic is placed near to your mouth you insist on comparing your piss ass band to the mighty Metallica. Please stop this as its getting pretty tiresome now an…d above everything else your bloody ginger. Metallica Rule, Megadeath fool ;-)

I think both the records are pretty good…but i prefer DM because of the variety it includes. And DM is Metallica’s comeback album. Wait for the next one…it’ll gonna be badass.

i meant * it’s gonna be bad ass! *

Phantasmagasm

To the guy immitating Ian G Mitchell, if you’re gonna try insult a member of the band, spell the band name right.

theoutlawtorn

More absolute crap spouted from the mouth of an otherwise highly talented musician!!

‘Endgame’ is a good album but it’s certainly not as good as ‘Death Magnetic’. It was never going to be anyway!!

ffs mustaine mouthing is becoming daily now,he really should of just said endgame is great album not ”its better than death magnetic” anyway i havent heard endgame but i bet it the same old predictable stuff theyve been churning out for last 20 odd years,i think he looking for a reaction from metallica

andybanks

i’m sick of everybody giving mustaine shit when he talks about metallica. if u dumb fuckers didn’t notice, he’s only answering questions he’s asked. if people ask him about metallica, he’s going to respond. if endgame was my album, i’d say “yeah, it pisses on death magnet!”

end game is the biggest lot of shit, i have heard in a long time, so boring.

IAN G MITCHELL

to Phantasmagasm, firstly I am not immitating Ian G mitchell as i am one and the same. Also in regards to the bands name, i apologise for any hurt this error in my part may have caused. I am so so sorry that my spelling the bands name has offended anyone and would like to bow my head in shame, because fuck me my life is now in tatters. So for this i apologise, however Megadeath whoops did it again, Megadeth should i say still have a ginger in the band lol. Fuck sake get a life

Chas UK

I don’t know what comments by Dave you Metallica fanboys are reading, but I thought he was being very diplomatic about it. Dave hasn’t cared about the comparisons for years and as far as the posters here saying “all Dave does is moan and bitch” need to find out what Dave has been like for the last 4 albums. You’re so busy wiping Hetfield’s backside that you are using old arguments to make your point. Get informed before passing public judgements.
Finally. Megadeth ’s albums have consistently had hooks in them. They haven’t produced a “Load”, “Reload” or “St Anger” for us to leave on the shelf after one listen.

mustaine is always going on about metallica. Although i love both bands every interview to do with him someone has to throw metallica up in the air. This fued was years ago and both bands dont really give a shit anymore. mustaine seems to always compare his music to theirs, which i think he should just get over it. As far as the albums are concerned, they are both awsome

nailman

yeah endgames better even though death magnetic is still very good..

nailman

but the new slayer album will be better than both so meh…

Endgame kills Metallica in every way since Master….Dave Mustaine is the best.

Sticky love

Endgame piss*s all over Death Magnetic…. far better than the cr*p Metallica come out with these days

Endgame is better. DM is fake Metal Its like lets write a metal album cause thats what people want. Endgame is pure metal from the soul

Chris Ward

DM is good but very contrived. Endgame isn’t trying to live up to old material, or be something it doesn’t want to be, and sounds more natural and less forced

Megasam

and the Deth – Tallica story is the most heated debate of the day… once again lol.
Nyways… mustaine is a ginger metal god.

WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT! THIS ISN’T WHAT HE SAID AT ALL! HE SAID HE WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT ENDGAME WAS BETTER!

MetalliDeth fan

this is a tough one, both are on par albums but im gonna go with Death Magnetic for this poll because I like more songs on it.

some dude

endgame owns death magnetic.

Casper says Mustaine is wrong.
Death Magnetic is Metallica’s best work since Master of Puppets. And I loved all their albums (yes, even St Anger)

rambodude

Endgame is a better record, but Death Magnetic will still sell five times as many copies.

TrendkillTimmy

I love how people state their opinions as though it were fact.

I prefer Death Magnetic and Metallica overall, as I have a hard time trying not to laugh at Mustaine’s vocals.

MetallicaFanboysUNITE!

Wow, Metallica fan boys flock to anything related to Megadeth like flies to shit, attempting to justify the joke that Metallica has become.

He’s right, but does he really need to enhance his ego more by telling us what we already know?

Thrashed

for a christian like dave i think hes a hypocrite. i like endgame more then death magnetic but dave needs a ass whippin. stop bringing up metallica, you dont see metallica bringing him or megadeth hardly in any interviews i can see why tom(slayer) was talking mess about him not too long ago.

72% Endgame to 28% Death Magnetic.
Are you fucking crazy. Metallica are so much better than Megadeth and I think Dave has his head up his arse recently. Prefer Metallica and always will.

kenneth

Megadeth rules. Metallica rules. Dave Mustaine rules. Kirk Hammet rules. Sweet so we all agree? Awesome! Now lets go drink a beer and listen to both because trust me, its way better than wasting breath arguing

kenneth

Its a 25 year old argument. Half of the people talking here probably weren’t even alive when it happened. Get over it. Both albums rock the planet. Theyre both awesome. THATS IT. Damn…

AmonAmarth

Death Magnetic is far far far much better, the songwriting is just greater.

I love them, but Metallica is better, and always has been.

Stop saying bullshit about Dave Mustaine. Have you read the line closely…he said that Endgame was better than DM but that Metallica has made many album that was way better than Deth records. So what’s the problem. I listen both album and Endgame is a lot better. Yes Metallica will still sell more album because they have a lot more fans so it’s normal. I love both bands but if I have to choose a good metal record I choose Endgame first.

satans left ball

“I really don’t like talking about it, because I have a new record out and I’ve heard both records, and I think mine’s better. And that’s not a dig at them; it’s just how I feel.”

did u fuckers even read what he said?? lap up what the journo’s tell ya douche

Michael

i’ve gotta say that Endgame is far more to Form for megadeth than death magnetic is to Metallica. I remember reading a Blog by metal Hammer about Metallica vs megadeth. there was one comment that stuck in my head about Kirk Hammett….that if he tried to play Tornado of Souls, his wrists would break, and i agree. Kirk Hammett is far too over-rated. Tqake the metontour.com website for example. It shows you video’s of shows they’ve played, and when kirk comes to do a solo, he has to be at his wah pedal, wankin on his guitar, i can’t remember the last time Kirk actually played a solo the way he wrote it, the way the fans wanna hear it. I think both these albums got full marks, though most people in general will say “death magnetic” is better, just because it’s metallica. What a load of bollocks. Go back to 2004, when i read Kerrang when The System Has Failed came out. They gave it KK. they gave St. Anger KKKKK!!! how the fuck they can justify that i don’t know….and i’m not biased at all, i love both albums, and i’m a fan of Both bands, think that 4 famous guys that were the “biggest band in the world” put out that album, don’t get me wrong i like most of the songs” and Dave Mustaine Wrote all of The System Has Failed on his own. I Just think most of the heavy metal media (excluding metal hammer and Terrorizor) need to stop lickin the arses of these big bands and be a decent heavy metal magazine for once. and another thing, all these people that think dave mustaine won’t drop the whole “metallica” thing, he has, if you actually open your fuckin eyes and READ the fuckin interviews, it’s always the person interviewing him that brings it up first. and whose to say he’s Bitter about the whole situation between him and “them”, if it’s how he feels so be it, he’s not gunna lie to make you bunch of assholes feel better…i know i wouldn’t.

Whether DM or Endgame is better is a matter of opinion. But I can’t help but think that comments like this will put Megadeth’s place on the big four tour at risk…

Michael… I agree. I posted the actual quote a few posts up… and i’ll post it again here.

“I’ve heard both records, and I think mine’s better. And that’s not a dig at them; it’s just how I feel. And I know that they’ve got a lot of records that are better than the stuff I’ve put out, but not all of it, and certainly not the stuff that we made together.”

By the sound of this first sentence, it is obvious someone else brought the fucking subject up… and he gave it the best answer he possibly could…

PS: Nice name :D

Stellius

Well, this album ends with those “Megadeth vs Metallica” stupid fights, Endgame is way better than Death Magnetic, plain and simple, Metallica isn’t a challenge for Mustaine anymore, and karma is a bitch

i think endgame is better than death magnetic.

I dont give a shit what you all say about Mustaine! He is the king of metal, actually he is the emperor of metal. and has a “fuck you” attitude and i for one love his attitude….and as one metal hammer writer stated recently, he never cut his hair and never went through a “gay” phase posing in pictures with cigars looking like a fucking latino boy band (hmm hmm, load and the shitty re-load follow up album pics). Endgame not only rips death magnetic, but also rips all metallica albums from the black album till date. it destroys them all, it crushed them,it put them in their place, it makes metallica look like a fucking amateur band trying to break in to the thrash scene again, because lets be honest they havent been metal for about 18 years, alot of their shit was pop. Anyway back to endgame and its scorching guitars! hetfield, ulrich and hammet could learn a thing or two from this album. ALL HAIL MUSTAINE! Emperor, King and Ruler of thrash metal!

So stupid and an unfair comparison.

If Death Magnatic is Metallicas back to form album then you should compare it to The World Needs A Hero, wich was Megadeth’s back to form album, they may have a shot at that, as non of them where great.

A fair comparison would be Endgame VS Formation Of Damnation and Death Magnatic VS Day&Age

Death Magnetic rules, not a question….

So, he was asked a question and answered the only way he ever would. Obviously he thinks his own album is better. That’s not ‘ego’ that is just human nature.

what a non-story

J. Hetfield

Everyone has their own opinion, so let it be written, so let it be done!!!

Death>End.

End of story.

Metalbeast

Ask any musician to compare their own stuff with other peoples and 99% of them will always say that their own stuff is better than anyone else’s.

Both these bands are awful.

I see the Metallica fanboys have turned out in full force now to tip the poll. What a joke… Endgame is way above and beyond DM.

Chaos Crumpet

Any metal fan who thinks Death Magnetic is a better album than Endgame is obviously hearing impaired.

WTF!!! How the fuck is Shit Magnetic beating ENDGAME?!?!?!… just yesterday ENDGAME was fucking killing it… I bet there’s some fucking little piece of Shitallica fan that’s constantly voting non- stop because he has nothing better to do… either that or this shit is getting hacked, because the rate of votes for Shit Magnetic isn’t normal( I mean 50 votes within 30 seconds, also equal to going up 1% almost every minute… how ridiculous)… stupid Shitallica fans voting for Shit Magnetic when they clearly know ENDGAME rapes the shit out of it, but the only reason they vote for Shitallica is because they hate the fact that ][v][EGADET][-][ is now superior to them... fucking posers don't even know what real metal is ..., however the results of this poll isn't going to change the FACT that ENDGAME IS SIMPLY BETTER COMPARED TO SHIT MAGNETIC... like it or not, DAVE MUSTAINE SPEAKS THE TRUTH

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

This poll basically shows how dedicated/sad the fanboys are (delete as appropriate). It was 70%-30% in Megadave’s favour last night, I came on today and Metallica was ahead, then ten minutes later Megadave retook the lead by 100 votes.

I think Death Magnetic is better. Mustaine writes good music but his vocals are piss poor to say the least. In the end though, Kreator smokes both of them.

Emperor

Oh man, look at the megasheep votebots, 800 votes in 60 munites? Haha, you guys suck, so does Endgame.

While I like both bands I have to say Metallica latest only has one song I like on the album (The Day That Never Comes) Endgame however I must say I like every song on the album. Love both bands always will. Metallica’s early stuff was mindblowing while Megadeth early stuff was awsome as well and they keep progressing more and more on each album while Metallica keeps going backwards.

Moshtank

i havent heard endgame but it must be pretty good to be better than DM either that or mustaine has got rose coloured ….ears???

Both are awesome but DEATH MAGNETIC wins hands down

Endgame is far superior to Death Magnetic. 1, cos its got more, and better, guitar solo’s in it. 2, cos it sounds thrashy, which is what both bands wanted but only Megadeth achieved. 3, Megadeth dont argue all the time like Lars Fucking Ulrich (Dick). 4, I hate the sound of the guitars and the snare on Death Magnetic, but love Megadeth’s sound as they have kept it good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

44Minutes

Idiots read the interview before you comment. It was the interviewer who asked about metallica. Mustaine wouldnt have said a thing about it if they wouldnt have asked. What else do you expect a guy say when promoting new record?!

Dave has said that hes over metallica things and I do belive that… its just that people on the interviews cant shut up about metallica.
I just dont get it why metallica is so big deal when talking about ‘deth? So Mustaine was once in tallica?! Who even remebers that or cares? Mustaine doesnt seem to be bitter about it anymore and he would propably like to be without everyone reminding about it. So stop making these things so fucking big deal..
I’d rather watch people compare ‘Deth to Johnny Cash than metallica.

And to the point..Endgame is way better. Really good album without any bad songs. Best Megadeth since Countdown.

Rey, you have got to be the biggest dickhead to have left a comment on here. Ever. I’m a fan of both bands but prefer Metallica. Do you see me (or any other ‘Tallica fan here) resort to immature name calling? I could easily have referred to Mustaine as a ginger cunt or Cumstaine from Megashite (as I’m sure many others also could have) but I didn’t. As far as being “fucking posers who know nothing about real metal” goes – ooh, you really hurt my feelings. Bet you wouldn’t know one if it came up to you on the street and blasted your ears with some decent riffs.

no way! Metallica death magnetic is better than endgame! i think that endgame is a simple and little bit boring album! death magnetic kick ass!!!!!!

…At least MegadetH still has balls after 26 years. Can’t say the same for good ol’ MetallicA…

seriously dave, enough is enough. every other day its the same thing, “fuck those guys, fuck that band”, just shut the fuck up and worry about your own shit, not what others are doing.

preacher13

This is just hilarious. dave vs. james, megadeth vs. metallica. who gives a fuckin toss?! And it will obvioulsy never end. They’re both great bands! Endgame vs. Death? Both of them! And the rest of you can keep picking out the better one. It’s just not worth fighting over. I know it’s fun, but … Yeah, fuck it.

Its an argument which will never stop however the way I see it. Dave Mustaine total cunt and obviously that him saying his stuff is better supports him being even more of a twat! nothing that megadeth ever did or will do will touch on Metallica… fuck dave mustaine and stop living in envyness of how you ‘could have been in Metallica’ Kirk kicks your fucking ass you ginger twat

wade666

i cant imagine a world without the whole metallica versus megadeth debate,both great bands who have both produced many quality albums,let the bitching continue.i thought death magnetic was a superb album,i think endgame is a good album and it gets better with each listen.all i can say is make the big four tour happen!!

philip k ridiculous666

death magnetic is like U2’s no line on the horizon album end of story!

Michael

benji how does it make him a twat, i bet you wouldn’t think metallica were twats if they came out and said that eh?

damnit why cant people just like what they wanna like Megadeth are awsome Metallica are awsome and both of their new albums are awsome, as for mustaine well he seems allright to me its only when he starts talkin bout metallica that you can see hes still a bit pissed about it

Blacksunshine

Endgame is far better, it’s well produced and catchy yet still contains awesome thrash. Death Magnetic is just a load of riffs put together played fast – it’s unorganised and too long.

Endgame >>>> Death Magnetic

If all these seeminly thousands of people who say endgame is better than death magnetic actually bought the album. It would probably number 1 album in the uk just now, not 24th behind porcupine tree! Metallica are more diverse band and deserved two weeks at number 1.

oh and if megadeth were in metallica position of selling 100 million albums. Then these people would say megadeth are shit and praise metallica. People love the underdog until he wins

Eddie Maiden

Hey Liam, If Megadeth were in the position of selling 100 million albums then they WOULD have been number one, as more people would have HEARD of them! I hate to say this, but if you ask a non-metal head to name a Heavy Metal band, 9 times out of 10 they’ll say Metallica, seeing as they sold out in the 90’s.

ENDGAME IS FASTER THAN METALLICA’S NEW ALBUM

Amon Amarth 85

Just want to point out that my post about organised vote boting of this poll on the megadeth forums were not posted.

Hey Liam, If Metallica didn’t sell out by making the Black Album and so forth, metallica wouldn’t have sold 100m albums.

And… The only reason I bought the damn album was because the reviews seemed promising. Back to its roots my ass… More like back to Black Album.

thrasherchile

endgame= boring
death magnetic= amazing

ENDGAME IS SLASH TESTED, SLASH APPROVED … HOWEVER, YOU CAN’T SAY THE SAME ABOUT SHIT MAGNETIC.

Thomas Huynh

Dave Mustaine doesn’t want to talk about it but the interviewers (and some fans) always bring up the old conflict with Metallica. So don’t blame Dave when he is asked the question — he didn’t bring it up, they did. And since Dave doesn’t mince words, he answers it with complete honesty. After all, most of you DO believe Endgame is better, backed by the poll. To Dave’s credit, he posted tonight that he will in the future refuse to answer any more questions about his past with Metallica. If you know anything about Dave, some of you here should at least give him the benefit of the doubt. Thomas Huynh

Vincent Vespa

Endgame is much, much better!

ENDGAME IS THE END GAME FOR DEATH Magnetic,
DONT QUOTE MUSTAINE WORDS WRONGLY, every likes his own record ,

charlie

i hate how Mustain must say he is superior to Metallica whenever he has the chance, if anything has ever turned me off to metadeth its Mustains arrogance, why cant he just drop it? i like DM better then endgame but they are two different sounding albums and i don’t think they can be easily compared. They are both very good albums but Dave needs to quit with his vendetta against Metallica, its fucking childish, its been over 20 years since Metallica let him go, he has created one of the best metal bands ever, why cant he just stop with the bullshit. Dave, its time to forgive and forget, or plz just stfu.

charlie

maybe i was a bit hard on dave, i should have read the article better, maybe he stopped with the childishness, if he has good for him (and metal) if he hasn’t then my last comment was just right

I haven’t heard Endgame but i already know that it is better than Death magnectic, because DM is awful album and shows how Metallica are running out of ideas as they’ve done another unforgiven.

Before you start calling me all the names under the sun i liked reload because it was a good album and would of been a hit if it was done by anyone but metallica.

And i agree that mustaine is a twat but so are hetfield and ulrich.

lets face it the last good album metallica had is master of puppets.i love megadeth i think they have one bad album in risk thats it.endgame is a great album10/10 same as united abomanatioms was a great album,it was far better than death crapy magnectic

krasherr

the thing is metallica still try to maintain they’re a credible metal band and rock as hard as in the 80s but they dont. they’re very different and theyll never be able to recreate real good thrash again IMO (not to say DM is that bad). obviously Cliff and mustaine must have been the real thrashers and urlcih/hetfield couldnt do it by themselves.
megadave on the other hand still kicks thrashing ass albeit mustaine is still an arrogant twat.

Antallica666

death magnetic is better in my opinion + mustaines a tit

Mike, have you actually listened to Death Magnetic? “Back to Black Album” – you sir are full of shit. Give it a proper listen. Some of the songs could have been outtakes from Justice, others from Puppets. Then again it probably takes a true Metallica fan to tell that, not an asshole hater.

Julius Sigfusson

Endgame is a great album. Death Magnetic sucks

Endgame songs are complete, good, & well written. Death Magnetic, there are good riffs and in certain songs, good parts, but none of the songs really grab me.
I like both bands equally BTW….

Megadeth is way much better than Death Magnetic. I think this is the record that Mustaine has been trying to make since the turn of the century. This is an album where I have finally been able to sit down and enjoy the shit out of it, bang my head and just get lost in it instead of thinking “Well this is a step in the right direction, I hope the next one is better”.

And yeah, poor Metallica. You guys finally put out a decent album for the first time in 20 years and Megadeth drives over it with a tank the next year. Life’s a bitch.

Kind of funny seeing all these ‘tallica fan boys crying and saying this and that. Most of them are illiterate and can’t read a simple quote. And some are still in denial that DM was mediocre at best. Come on, a lot of the songs were WAY too long and repetitive. Had to try not to doze off listening to worn out riffs and solos.

Don’t get me wrong, i like both bands, LOVED RTL, KEA, and MoP, but seriously, its no contest now.

Here we go for the 95,999,999,999 time! Another Megadeth vs Metallica debate :( ,, they’re getting really boring tbh. The title for the article could have been worded better really.

But just for the record i think Endgame is miles ahead of Death Magnetic,, mainly because everything Dave said the album would have it did, plus it just sounds like old school Megadeth which is great :D , i did enjoy Death Magnetic too… but just not as much as EndGame (H)

death magnetic is a pile of crap,metallica havent done a decant album in for over 20 years (And Justice for All ) load ,reload.st anger give me a break,and dont forget the black album a comercial pile of crap,metallica dies with cliff burton.yet again mustaine has pulled it out of the bag with endgame.

I think anyone who has an open mind, and likes metal would honestly say Endgame is a better album than DM. All of you have to stop bashing each ofth these bands, they are both iconic amazing artists. Dave AND James have gone on the record saying how much they respect each other and thier amazing musical talents, and dave JUST SAID that he knows metallica has albums better than what he’s put out. any person in thier right mind knows what each of these bands have done. yes, metallica what they did in the mid to late 80’s was something that cant really be done again. and yes, what megadeth has done with this most recent album is just stellar, to prove that at whatever age, this kind of music is still relevant. Congrats to both bands and great recent albums, but im sorry… especially the production is better on Endgame

Metallica are more like Rockallica and megadeth are still Megadeth!

][v][EGADET][-][ ][v][EGADET][-][ AGUANTE ][v][EGADET][-][!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poll on this site says Metallica fell of the truck (again) compared to Megadeth.

Heard the Metallica release once, still the same junk being made since the Black Album. It’s just radio junk for the mass of clueless “junior semi-metal” weenies. And I heard Metallica live BEFORE the released “Kill ‘em All.” A real down slide.

I am a huge fan of Metallica but not so much of Megadeth but Mustaine is right. Endgame is everything Death Magnetic should have been and more!

Endgame Destroys Death magnetic and megadeth kills metallica

AJ - Wings of Severance

I love megadeth, for me, it doesnt really get better than the first 4 metallica records, but megadeth is right there. for anyone to take anything away from what these bands are is bullshit in itself. Death magnetic would be alot better if there was better production. i mean, the new megadeth record is better in pretty much every category… production in itself is down right amazing

Squirrel Madras

Yawn

My Dad’s bigger than yours…. blah blah blah. Who has sold more records? Which do you personally prefer, which do you own most of? Put these together and you have your answer.

Now find a spinal cord and get back to work.

Nothing to see here

You can be BOTH a Metallica fan and a Megadeth fan you know?

But you haven’t listened to both albums if you think Death Magnetic is better. As much as I love Metallica, it’s obvious that Endgame is the better album.

HordesOfChaos

Endgame is the most creative album since Rust in Peace. Death Magnetic is the most creative since…Load. Endgame has superior musicianship and production. Death Magnetic? Endgame is approved by Bruce Dickinson and Slash. Death Magnetic is approved by ignorant fanboys and biased magazines. Seriously be realistic. Endgame has a superior thrash sound and 100% contribution from every instrument. Megadeth, Kreator, and Slayer take the cake for newest thrash albums.

TomithyTTomilson

Death magnetic is the musical version of erectial dysfunction. Metallica have never come closer to being an aor kiss alike band. i am so dissapointed with how truly bad it was. I also can”t belive that people are saying stuff like “they”ve gone back to the old shit” or ” hey at least they”re trying to thrash out again”. no one should say that about them, they shouldN’ try for anything why can’t they just do it. at least megadeth can still play there instruments in a correct manner.
and if any one can honestley say that any of this stuff can even come close to yesteryear albums, then they’re lying coz it’s shit.

EmperorFan

Haha, this poll has been votebooted to death, what a joke.

Endgame represents some of the worst songwriting I have heard in a long time; guitar masturbation, ridicules lyrics, horrible vocal lines, uninteresting riffs and solos.
Atleast Death Magnetic had “hooks” and grabs you with good melodies.

So Death Magnetic IS (as in fact) better than Endgame.

Stellius

LARS: Thank you you know, thanks for being our fans you know, thank you for give us your money you know

KAYNE WEST : YO Metallica!, I’m happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Megadeth is the best Thrash Metal band of all time!

it’s kinda sad how the megasheep are so insecure about megadeth’s place in history that having 10 or so people from the megadeth forum vote hundreds if not THOUSANDS of times apiece in an obscure internet poll gives them some kind of vindication in the whole metallica/megadeth thing. I’d feel so sad for these people if they weren’t so far beneath me.

trexesteban

Both albums are good, Endgame has awesome heavy songs with impressive guitar solos while death magnetic has good vocals, better lyrics and has some heavy songs.

LARS: Thank you you know, thanks for being our fans you know, thank you for giving us your money you know

KAYNE WEST : YO Metallica!, I’m happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but ][v][EGADET][-][ is the best Thrash Metal band of all time

lol @ emperorfan you’ve been listening to wrong album, you don’t know what you’re talking about. There is no melody in Death Magnetic, it’s just a lot of guitar riffs glued together.

@HordesofChaos — you nailed it.

EmperorFan

Hey Bobbie, you must be the one who has listened to the wrong record.

Listen through this, and then apologize for being such a silly simpleton.

Metalforever1973

Like it or not Megadeth is wayyyyyy better that Metallishit……

Metallishit is more popular because they sold and made more comercial music pure crap load ,reload, st anger….

EndGame > Deth Magnetic(But DM still good Btw)….

Metalforever1973

Like it or not Megadeth is far superior than Metallica…

Metallica is more popular just because they sold themselve,Load,Reload ,St.Anger…Even the S&M was a pure crap…..

Kirk Hammett so inferiot than Mustaine when he is out of solos he take out the cat guitar and start the wua wua wua wua sound..Boring…

EndGame > Deth Magnetic(Even tho DM was good release)…….

I love how once Metallica is winning Medadeth fans cry conspiracy, even though on the Deth forums their trying to find ways to cheat the poll. Nice guys, find a hobby or something.

juan pablo

si megadeth …… megadeth, megadeth aguante megadeth …. LO MEJOR (MEGADETH)

Endgame is better than Death Magnetic

metalhead

yo no tiendo por donde le entra el metal a la gente!!!!!!!!! aguante metallica y death magnetic…a pesar del sonido es un trabajo mas honesto y poderoso que endgame, y lo digo siendo casi fanatico de megadeth, pero la verdad es la verdad,tenia muchas ganas de ecuchar este nuevo trabajo de megadeth, pero despues de “this day we fight” los temas van decayendo progresivamente. Donde esta la emocion! Death Magnetic si bien no es de lo mejor de metallica pero por lo menos mantiene la garra durante todo el disco…un saludo a todos y espero no ofender a nadie con mi opinion pero trato de ser lo mas honesto posible y objetivo.

Jon Drenning

Death Magnetic.

Dave y su EndGame se caga en la broza que a sacao Metallica en estos ultimos 15 años!
Ahí queda.

Hangar 18

Megadeth, siempre ha sido y siempre sera el mejor.

Endgame es MEJOR que death magentic

diego Ramírez Castellanos

endgame is better than death magnetic
im sick of kirks wah solos
dave is the best, endgame has better solos and better lyrics
l

Both sides are obviously cheating, no point having a cry about one side or the other. Bloody sheep.

This isn’t even fair, Death Magnetic is like something I would shit out, go listen to 44 minutes or 1320, it fucking owns any song on DM, and any Metallica fanboy will disagree of course because there stuck with James and Lars balls in there mouth.

Endgame is vastly superior in quality than Death magnetic…

METALHEAD

death magnetic!!!!!!

Stellius

LARS: Thank you you know, thanks for being our fans you know, thank you for giving us your money you know

JAMES: YOUAHHH! YEEAHH! UUUAH!

KIRK: WAH WAH WAAAH WAH WAH…WHAH

KAYNE WEST : YO Metallica!, I’m happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but ][v][EGADET][-][ is the best Thrash Metal band of all time

This is over, megadeth is not competition for Metallica.

rodrigo espinosa

Endgame forever !!!!

It is extremely hilarious to read the megadeth forums at times. The megasheep get multiple vote bots going then start a new year’s eve type celebration because endgame is winning, then when someone for metallica does the same and puts metallica in the lead, they start whining and complaining.

I think the megasheep whine more than their sheppard, dave.

As i said earlier, both sides are doing it, and yes, it is hillarious.

Singling out one side or the other just outs you as a fanboy though. Just look at the poll, almost 1.5million votes.

Endgame is better than death magnetic, but world painted blood will be better than both. ;)

Endgame.

No doubt about it.

Ask me again in 10 months or 10 years and my answer will be the same. New Megadeth line-up is too strong.

Nobody (from Nobody's perfect)

i used to love mustaine. i hate him now, more and more every time he opens his mouth.
15y old boy trapped in 50y old body.
good music but i cant stand the guy. endgame is just a mix of old megadeth riffs and it sounds old. so does death magnetic.

Hair Toucher

Wow, look at all you little fanboys arguing over shit like dave mustaine vs. kirk and bs like that. Heres an idea, forget about the musicians behind the music for one moment and just listen to the songs and then decide whether you like it or not. Dont jsut say you hate something because you think lars is a tool or mustaine is an overbearing prick. the fact is they are all better then all of you so just fucking dig it.

endgame does not discredit anything get real, for one death magnetic was a great album. Endgame is one dimensional typical thrash, no range, no harmony, just fast and too much guitar wankery. throwing in 3 guitar solos that do not fit songs does not a great album make, nor does cliche poltical lyrics. just speed, and guita wankery.

thatt what seperates metallcia and megadeth, more range, more variety, every song on endgame sounds the same, metallica knew ages ago just speed alone does not make great music, megadeth does not make songs liek the great Fade to Black.

ITo the uguy who said Metallca did not make metal for eyars, Anger was bad, but surely metal, and so is death magnetic, get your ears checked, or your brain. Me thinks Mustaine is a little biased.

Metallicas best > megadeths best = Fact. Deal with it. I love both bands, but endgamed sounds the same every song, DM sounds new with a touch of old, metallca always made every album stand out on its own, megadeth = Every song same sound and riffs. gets old fast, add in Mustanes terrible vocals and typical predictable political lyrics, yuo got one hell of an overrated album.

Ignorant metal fans think just playing fast and throwing in un-needed guitar wankery means it is better, making goiod musci is a lot more complex, something metallica knew in the 80’s, mustaine still ahs not figured it out. Who is more naive, mustaine or megadeth fans?

Metallca got more popular BEFORE either band were mainstream based on word orf mouth, live shows, during puppets, matallica were so good they sold out world tours and blew everyone off the stage (Poor ozzy) with zero advertising, zero radio play. Something deth could never do.

Hilarry

Lo temas de Endgame tienen divercion y son entretenidos.
en cambio los temas de death magnetic apestan, por que aplican la misma outa distiorcion como frantic y st.anget, ademas el puto wah wah wah de kirk hammet me aburre.

Lasse Momme

funny how there are so many metallica fans that feel they need to justify themselves with hateful comments towards megadeth, while they are clearly outnumbered in the votes. apparently the Deth fans won’t even bother to write here because, they have realised that you could never get through the thick skull of a Tallica fanboy. most of the people posting here, i swear, they must have read only the headline, and not even cared about the context it came in. fucking hell it pisses me off! there has been a downright stigmatization of mustaine going on on the internet the last couple of months by the media on the internet, twisting everything he has said horribly and taking practically everything out of context to make big headlines, that not only are misleading and false but also creates a wrong portration of Mustaine himself. i have given up on finding a positive article about Mustaine through blabbermouth, unbiased metal media has died a long time ago apparently.

megadeths new album end game the guitar work and music is outstanding but daves vocals and lyrics are horrible so overall death magnetic is much better just look at the sales of the two albums death magnetic sold 450,000 its first week end game only sold 45,000 maybe if the lyrics were better it would have sold more about 1 tenth of what metallicas death magnetic sold dont get me wrong i like both bands but i like metallicas death magnetic better i put end game in listened to hit from front to back and havent put it back in my cd player but i put death magnetic in and can listen to it over and over love it

daniheavy

el death magnetic es un discaso suena mucho mejor ademas metallica tiene merito ellos fueron al salon de la fama del rock and roll y el tiene todabia camino por rrecorer el magnetic suena mejor esta mas improvisado el endgame parece un esnsyo

I LIKE BOTH BANDS!
BUT I MUST SAY THAT THE ENDGAME IS MUCH, MUCH BETTER THAN DEATH MAGNETIC.
THE DEATH MAGNETIC DO NOT LIKE MANY THINGS, MAINLY BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS supersaturation in SOUND … IT IS ALSO HARD TO JAMES LE TUNE YOUR VOICE, ETC

IN THE END THE ENDGAME IS BETTER!
IN THE END THE ENDGAME IS BETTER!

I like both bands!
But I must say that the end is MUCH, much better than Death Magnetic.
NOT DEATH magnetic not as many, especially because i believe that this saturation of sound … James Hetfield also out of tune a lot

In the end THE END IS BETTER!
In the end THE END IS BETTER!

when you come to ARGENTINA, I will go to Megadeth concert, Because they offer better show, in addition to its excellent music.
METALLICA AND NOT THE SAME FOR ME.

El ENDGAME!!! TODA LA VIDA!!

ES UN EXELENTE DISCO,
DAVE MUSTAINE SIGUE DEMOSTRANDO SU CALIDAD,.
SOBRE TODO NO DESAFINA!

Everyone really needs to get off Daves nuts cuz most people would agree that Metallica is better then Megadeth. I dont know why but some people are fuckin idiots. And this whole Big Four Tour…FUCK EM!!! Go see Megadeth n Slayer in Canada then see Anthrax later. Dont waste your money on four fags that stole Mustaines music and got their so called “start” from him. EndGame is the shit and whoever thinks Death Magnetic is better needs to go to thier hearing doctor and get thier ears checked cause Metallica SUCKS!!! RATTLE YOUR GOD DAMN HEAD!!!

roberto

Megadeth lo mejor , grande dave ,

valeria

omg again mustaine being a jackass and talking shit about metallica… they ask him but why does he have to answer? anyway, i like death magnetic more, i think endgame is just so typical mustaine album, the same again and again…DM is different.

Darkestmind

ENDGAME.. SUPERA 10.00000000000000.. a el death magnetic

Death Magnetic is a very good album, is awesome!
In my opinion…way better than endgame of Megadeth.
Metallica rocks \m/_
