It was those songs, on Metallica's first album, that excited those who first heard it. If you notice that after Ride the Lightning, which Dave also wrote songs and riffs for, Metallica's guitar playing and elaboration went down hill fast. As "heavy" as Master of Puppets and ...and Justice are, they're pretty weak and repetitive, guitar-wise. After Dave formed Megadeth, his albums only got heavier...until Countdown to Extinction, anyway. <br /><br />I think both bands sold out in the end. Metallica with the Black album and Megadeth with Countdown; Dave wanting so badly to surpass Metallica that he sold out the same way. Too bad I think both bands now suck. <br /><br />I was heavy into Metallica for years and years until I started playing the guitar in '96. Once I started playing, I realized A: Megadeth has way more intricate riffs than metallica, and B: Metallica had eerily similar riffs on their first two albums(which Mustaine wrote), and none like them ever since...and, all the music(on top of the lyrics) that Mustaine did, were credited to Metallica.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
