Megadeth > Metallica

**This rant has been brought to you by Remy**

In light of Metallica's new album, Death Magnetic, it reminded me of an age-old argument that has been around in metal circles for a long time. While some sites like http://www.allmusic.com might have given Death Magnetic rave reviews, it is public opinion(and more importantly, mine) that Metallica still hasn't changed much. You'd think after SEVENTEEN years since their last okay album they would have figured out that their fans want some thrash metal, not nu-metal. Of course, Death Magnetic was a huge improvement over St. Anger, but even then, that's not saying much. At least Megadeth has never failed me or their fans.

Yeah, I said it. Megadeth is better than Metallica. Megadeth, have not only released MORE albums than Metallica despite forming later, Mustaine and crew have only failed once, and that's only because Lars Ulrich tried to coerce Mustaine into taking a "Risk". Metallica screwed up years ago by firing Mustaine. Mustaine isn't just a better guitar player than Kirk Hammett, but he can also sing, write songs, and play solos with effects other than the wah-wah pedal. Hammett doesn't even write his own solos, Ulrich and Hetfield do. Metallica has just fallen downhill since ...And Justice, and it's rather sad. But, if Hetfield and/or Ulrich is reading this, I can guarantee I have the solution to make Metallica the great band it once was.

Step One: Fire Kirk, Re-hire Dave. Easy step, and it's quite the upgrade. They gain a back-up singer and someone who can actually solo.

Step Two: Fire Robert Trujillo, hire Fieldy from KoRn. Again, Rob sucks, Fieldy would be better. How the FUCK did you guys pass up on Les Claypool when he auditioned?!

Step Three: Fire Lars Ulrich, hire anybody with the talent of Dave Grohl or better. And since the only person with talent less than Dave Grohl is Ulrich himself, they can get anybody. But since Slipknot is breaking up, how about you grab Joey Jordison?



^Yes, those ARE the drums Ulrich used on St. Anger.

Unfortunately, we are only left to hope and pray for something like that happen. But in the meantime, Dave can get RAGED over Death Magnetic and inspire himself to create something much better, like he always does.
