Did they really? Hmm, im trying to remeber which song Metallica allowed a wrestler to use (sand man doesn't count since they hijacked it). Risk was far more pop than either load. In fact mustaine had a pretrack chorus warm up so you could sing along to "crush 'em".

Metallica is my choice for better band. Megadeth isn't bad, but they aren't a better band at all. Top to bottom Metallica outshined them. You can make a case for Metallica being in the top 5 bands ever. No one makes a case for megadeth, and frankly no one would think of them if asked such a question.

As an aside, because the opinon police are probably reading this, I can't even fathom how you could comapre the two but then again, thats just me.
