I swear to Buddha....I heard "Holy Wars" while in college back when Headbangers's ball / Ricki Rachtman was nothing but a joke.
Hearing the intro to Holy Wars got me running from the back of my double wide (yeah, I lived in a "mobile home" that had NEVER been mobile more than once) and I had that album in my hands the next day. Took a Spaniard with me next time they blew throught Detroit, in fact. As luck would have it they opened for Priest!
Pro-shot bootleg of both is online... [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Tuesday, March 24, 2009 4:37:17 PM)

Oh...I agree Metallica's first 4 albums blow away Megadeth's whole catalogue from Start to Present...hell, I didn't even become something of a Megadeth fan until they did Cryptic Writings. Even after that, it was a long time until I heard anything other than Peace Sells, Symphony of Destruction or the hits off Cryptic Writings. Even then, I'm not overly impressed with a lot of Megadeth's early stuff. There are some good songs like Mechanix, Hangar 18, Train of Consequences, Wake Up Dead. But like a select few bands, I think Megadeth has gotten better with age.

Yes Darth,I agree that "Megadeth" is better than "Metallica" after Metallica's 1988 album "And Justice For All". Starting with "The Black Album"...and up till now...Megadeth is better but I still don't have an ear for Megadeth,just not my flavor,thats all. Metallica's first 4 albums are much better than Megadeth's entire career in my opinion.But not saying that Megadeth are not good.

Okay...I take issue with your dislike of Megadeth. I think Youthanasia and United Abominations are kickass from start to finish! Aside from Risk and Cryptic Writings, Dave Mustaine has stayed true to metal and has written some really cool songs. Go listen to Sleepwalker, Gears of War or Americakistan off United Abominations....No comparison to Craptallica!
