The opinion varies on this question. Megadeth has stayed on track with the same type of music and intellegent lyrics. While Metallica has varied in different styles of music.

Is Megadeth better than Metallica?
Metallica was first!and then came Megadethbut they are both great bands,there is no one better than the other,however Dave mustaine is a better song writer and every guitarist megadeth had was better than kirk hammat------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NO WAY. MEGADETH RULES!!!!Megadeths songs are more about problems about the world, like "Dawn Patrol", and "Peace Sells". And Mustaines Guitar skills are better than anyones in Metallica. I have nothing against Metallica but I think Metallica should go back to their roots. Metallicas song are mostly about Death, which is awesome. In my mind, Megadeth wins.It's an opinion. I agree with the guy above completely. I've always though that. But yeah it's an opinion but I think we can all agree that Endgame rocked. But United Abominations was Omega!!!I love both of these bands, they both have their ups and downs, I think Dave Mustaine isn't the best singer live. Metallica did go in a different direction, but Death Magnetic is awesome. So I will have to say Metallica.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Megadeth is definitely better in MY opinion, but Metallica is my 2nd favorite band, as much as I hate to admit it. Megadeth are definitely full of more talented musicians, but they're not as good as Metallica when it comes to writing appealing songs to more of a general audience. Despite this, Megadeth are STILL one of the biggest and most popular bands on the planet, but their worldwide sales of 50 million records still doesn't beat Metallica's 100 million+ records. Metallica is more popular, Megadeth is more talented, but they are BOTH the TWO BIGGEST thrash metal bands in history, above all other thrash bands in existance.
Who is more popular Radiohead or Metallica?
Metallica is much more popular than Radiohead. Metallica sold more records, played in more countries, and received more radio play. Radiohead are generally a cult band that not everyone would get into.
How much money does Megadeth have?
Dave Mustaine's net worth is speculated around 20-50 million dollars.The band itself has sold over 50 million records worldwide as of 2013, and they're one of the biggest metal/rock bands in existance. They can sell out stadiums and arenas of over 20'000 people no problem, especially in Europe. So if we do the math, it's safe to say that the band itself is worth somewhere in the high 10's of millions, plus the band members' net-worth. All 4 members of which are millionaires, of course.
Is Megadeth the greatest band ever?
Metallica is the best in what they... there are just a few bands that can stand next to them and to what they have achived megashit NOT being one of those bands...

Is rock band much more better than guitar hero?
i prefer guitar hero world tour because if ur a metallica fan, u can get guitar hero metallica and it would be compatible. rock band 2 is still cool because u can get a cymbal expansion set and get rock band beatles which i think will be kinda lame since i like metal.

Who is the lead guitarist of Metallica?
The lead guitarist of Metallica is Kirk Hammet. Originally, Grant Lloyd was the lead guitarist in 1981 but he was substituted by Dave Mustaine in 1982 and he was kicked out of Metallica in 1982, and since then Kirk is Metallica's lead guitarist. NOTE: Dave was kicked out of the band because he was a drunk. He never recorded any songs; he was credited for 4 songs on Kill 'Em All. He was kicked out when he woke up one morning and the rest of Metallica handed him a bus ticket, then he formed Megadeth in 1983. Then Kirk was called to join the band. NOTE:The 4 songs are The Four Horsemen..Jump In The Fire..Metal Militia..and Phantom Lord NOTE:Dave made a song called "The Mechanix"(On the first Megadeth album "Killing Is My Business...and Business Is Good!",that is pretty much like The Four Horsemen but sped up and doesn't have the melodic imiddle section in Metallica's The Four Horsemen. The Mechanix was written by metallica and Dave Mustaine, and played several times live, but when they recorded Kill Em' All (with kirk) the lyrics where changed, an instrumental middle part was included and the name of the song was changed to The Four Horsemen. Dave plays the original metallica song that he co-created. The Mechanix originally appeared on Metallica's Demo, 'No Life Til Leather' before they made it big.

Who is the best thrash metal band ever?
"WhiteChapel" or "as blood runs black" That is a wrong answer as none of those bands are even thrash, let alone the best. The best thrash band ever would probably be Slayer even though they are not my favorite and there are many bands that are better than them AT CERTAIN POINTS. Pretty much all of Slayer's music is good, it is real thrash not alternative Metallica and Megadeth stuff, and they have developed the biggest loyal following out of the four bands. what about Sodom? Agent orange, Persucution Mania, and Tapping the vein rock man. and they do have many good albums.
Who sold more albums metallica or iron maiden?
Answer:Iron maiden is, and always truly will be, the best band in existence. the Irons even influenced Metallica. Iron maiden songs combine history and literature with face-melting riffs, and have the best instrumentals I've ever heard. There really is no question here; Metallica is only more popular because they appear in the media. I dunno why some dumb kids vote metallica over iron maiden when they've not heard of the Irons and barely even gotten into metallica, but chavs like that exist, I suppose.If you still think Metallica is better than Maiden, listen to about any song from the Powerslave album, preferably the title track, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, or two minutes to midnight. If you still aren't impressed, look at Hallowed be thy Name, Transylvania, even Run to the Hills, or Loneliness of the long distance runner.__________________________________Metallica is the best band ever made..they are not just a band..they are a family..we are a family..the Metallifamily..and we are just like friends..whatever..METALLICA FOREVER GUYS!___________________________________Iron Maiden, even before Metallica has sold out, wins.Metallica is a great band before the Black Album, they have great riffs, which, the best are, made by DAVE MUSTAINE.Iron Maiden, first of all, has one of the greatest vocalists in history. Bruce Dickinson has a great voice, etc, that makes him one of the greatest metal vocalist in history.Iron Maiden has a complex and great guitar layering made by the 3 guitarists, who are all highly skilled, and the drummer is also highly skilled. Steve Harris is a great musician and a bassist, and is far better than Metallica.Overall, Iron Maiden > Metallica.All metallica's best riffs were from mustaine and maiden is an incredible band im tired of so many metallica fan boys. Iron Maiden are technically more gifted in the sense that each of their guitarists have amazing abilities and are incredibly synchronised. They also have a technically better vocalist in Bruce Dickinson compared to Hetfield.________________________________________________________________Metallica have sold more albums than Iron Maiden and Hetfield has a better metal voice than Bruce Dickinson because Bruce uses high voices where as James uses more a roar Dave Mustaine was thrown out of the band before kill 'em all was released and james is a talented guitarist and kirk composes his solos betterCliff Burton is a lot better than Iron Maidens bassist he was the best bassist in metalOverall Metallica>Iron Maiden---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Iron Maiden beat Metallica in every category. Vocals, guitar skills, bass, drums, also a much more consistent band, having released 9 albums in a row that were all awesome in their own unique way (Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind, Powerslave, Live After Death, Somewhere In Time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, No Prayer For The Dying, Fear Of The Dark, and a Real Live Dead One). Maiden perform so much better live, having picked up a Brit award for their live shows recently. Metallica are only more popular because they were way more mainstream than Maiden.Songs like The Journeyman and Blood Brothers beat songs like Fade To Black and Nothing Else Matters.Paschendale, Dance of Death and No More Lies beat The Unforgiven II, The Memory Remains and King Nothing.Not to mention Maiden's unbelievable classic catalog, consisting of classics like Wrathchild, Iron Maiden, Sanctuary, Number Of The Beast, Run To The Hills, Children Of The Damned, Hallowed Be Thy Name, The Trooper, Where Eagles Dare, Revelations, Flight Of Icarus, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Aces High, 2 Minutes To Midnight, Wasted Years, Heaven Can Wait, Caught Somewhere In Time, Alexander The Great, Loneliness of the Long Distant Runner, Moonchild, The Clairvoyant, The Evil That Men Do, Infinite Dreams, Can I Play With Madness, Only The Good Die Young, Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter, Tail Gunner, Fear Of The Dark, Afraid To Shoot Strangers, Be Quick Or Be Dead, From Here To Eternity... etc etc.IRON MAIDEN'S 'GREATEST HITS' IS BIGGER THAN MOST BANDS' ENTIRE CATALOG.^^ This about sums it all up.Maiden>Metallica end of discussion.
