METALLICA AND MEGADETH

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog again! This will be the "your say" about Trash Metal I talked about before and I decided it will be about the history of Metallica and Megadeth, two of the most influential bands of this style that are actually really related. Okay, first of all I'm gonna start talking about the early days of Metallica (you'll understand why later). Metallica was created on 1981 in Los Angeles by Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield, and let  Lloyd Grant and Ron McGovney, one of Hetfield's friends, join them as a main guitarist and as a bassist respectively. But Grant didn't had in mind to stay in the band for a long time, so they started to search for another main guitarist influenced by Motörhead and Iron Maiden (the groups they had been influenced by were very important to develop the specific kind of music they wanted) and they found a guy called Dave Mustaine which was really skilled with the guitar and fit perfectly on the band. So they recruited him and start recording his first album, which was called Kill'Em All. Everything was find until Hetfield and Ulrich noticed the heavy problems Mustaine had with alcohol and drugs, they took too back then but Mustaine's behavior was excessive. So because of that and other factors they decided to kick him from the band... Metallica were in Rochester, New York, when that happened and it was like one day they just woke up Mustaine and said him he was out, giving him a bus ticket to go back to Los Angeles. They had everything planned, Kirk Hammet (his actual guitarist) left Exodus and joined them that same afternoon. Mustaine was so angry and during his trip back home he start thinking about what could he do about it. Was then were he read an article about a nuclear explosion which included a word called "megadeath" (it means more than a million deaths) that looked cool to him, and then he got a great idea to get his vengeance: He though in create a new musical group called "Megadeth" with the only objective to sound faster, heavier and better than Metallica. And there is where the story really begins, how the couple of bands were progressing and his rivalry was increasing trying to better than each other. Nowadays Metallica is more popular and respected around the world but personally I think Megadeth is musically better and Mustaine is a better composer than Hetfield ...Some of Megadeth's songs are much better than Metallica ones, and 2 of  the 3 Metallica's best albums were composed by Musatine so ... I'm not saying that Metallica is bad or something like that, they have done a nice job all these years but the difference is that Metallica has been studding how to become more popular worldwide and how to sell more they products but Megadeth meanwhile has been progressing musically and defining the genre of Thrash Metal as the greatest exponent. I used to think Metallica was better before listening to any of Megadeth's albums but now ... it is so hard to consider Metallica as worthy rival at lest in the Trash category ... So this is it, hope you liked! This time I'm gonna leave bellow one of my Megadeth favorite solos of a song called "Tornado of Souls". It will be a cover video because I love seeing how the songs are played ~
