Master of Puppets VS Holy Wars

Why? I don't particularly care. It started a couple of months ago. I was bored at 6 O'clock in the morning and I was researching my favourite bads (And yet I don't do homework...) I found out about Metallica legends of the past like Cliff Burton and Dave Mustaine.

After watching A Toute Le Monde, Holy Wars and others by Dave's band Megadeth, I came to the conclusion that both were awesome.

But who is better?

This is opinion driven, as I cannot actually imitate the music, I must explain each bit in sections:

Intro:

The first four chord of Master of Puppets VS the first bit of Holy Wars. HW has a riff that is more awe-inspiring but the simplicity of MP is also good.

The PreVerse riffs:

For MP, this is the driving force of the song. The bits before the singing and the riff that is soon after they yell "MASTER!" The former is the main part of the song and is loved by guitarists everywhere. A true gem of the music industry. The latter is a riff that fits in so well with the first that you are forced to headbang until you suffer a brain hemorage. Megadeth couldn't beat that? Well, they came up with two riffs as well, the first of the two having an open palm-muted string mixed in with some Hammer-ons and Pull-offs in the middle. More metal than the first of the Metallica first preverse riff. The overlay of the pure distortion that follows is awesome to the point of extremity, another gem of the music world.

Verses:

Metallica sounds awesome and the meaning of the words? Drugs. It's all about how drugs will control your life and force you to become a puppet. Megadeth is all about the wars between religions for religous purposes. Both are deep when you think of them. Not Tool deep but deep nonetheless.

Soft Solo:

Megadeth grab a spanish guitar and play a riff faster than I can trembolo pick. It lasts around 5 seconds and is just plain awesome. Metallica, go all out in this section and play a couple of riffs together including the riff that I can play. These riffs are perfect in the song and you can really feel the insanity of drugs. It is beautiful.

The Heavy Interlude between Soft Solo and Verse:

Metallica gradually builds into the heavyness and ends up with a riff that has inspired a lot of metal songs. The riff includes the chorus of "Laughter, Laughter, all I hear or see is laughter!" And after the chorus you get another solo before heading into anything main in the songs. Megadeth instead rushes right into the Heavyness as soon as the solo is over. The riff then goes into pure awesomcity after Dave stops singing.

So, who is better?

Neither. Both are awesome and well worth listening to. If you are to live your lie, please listen to one of these gems. They are awesome. Megadeth is heavier but that isn't always a good thing.

A Toute Le Monde or One?

A Toute Le Monde in the form: Set Me Free. It's awesome and the female vocalist is hot. The song is better than One because it is more emotionally stiring. The best part of One? Darkness riff to the end of the solo. The rest is good but it isn't as good as A Toute Le Monde.

This is all my opinion, choose whatever you wish. Good night Vampires!
