Although this feud will never ever end, let me state my opinion.
I love Megadeth, and Metallica does absolutely nothing for me. Period. Has nothing to do with their history or the feud, I just think the two bands are far different. As a musician, I find Megadeths music to be far more complex, intellectual, and use a lot more interesting song structures than Metallica. Rust In Peace for example, my favorite album ever, uses jazz like structures with complicated rhythms and solos that are out of this world. Dave's lyrics are pretty hit or miss, but I find he hits a lot more often than misses. It also really bothers me when people think Dave is an *******, people who havent met him. I've talked to Dave on the phone twice, shot emails back and forth a few times, and hung out with him after a Megadeth show once. He was such a nice guy, he gave me and my friends free Megadeth shirts!!! Also, this little kid...couldnt have been older than 10 went up to him most humbly and just kinda looked out the ground and asked if he could have a Megadeth guitar pick. Dave called over his security guy, whispered in his ear, and the guy came back with a whole handful of guitar picks and gave them to the kid.
I'm getting off topic, point being...I love Megadeth and honestly believe they are THE single greatest metal band of all time.
