Metallica vs Megadeth: this time it's personal!
Billed as the Rust in Anger tour? Alright, I'm going, I'm going...

I'm pretty sure it was always personal.

I bet if we all told Lars we would pay to see that, he'd make it happen.

Metallica as a whole is far better based on the strength of their first 3 to 5 albums.

Mustaine contributed to Kill Em All, which is probably why it is in part so righteous, and Peace Sells Whose Buying is a landmark album, but he engaged into to many odd tempo beats and off time sign signatures for my liking.

A lot of people love Rust In Peace, but I find it to be a boring piece of progressive thrash metal, which for me marked the decline of the genre.

You know, I listened to their fifth album for a review about a week or so ago, and I hadn't listened to it in forever. I wasn't entirely satisfied with my review, so I made a companion piece. I was quite pleased with it.

lol, Yes well, on the strength of Enter Sandman I'll give it a pass. The first three, than maybe 4 & 5, but after that....uhm

:rofl:

Rust In Peace is only boring when Marty Friedman is playing a 5-hour neoclassical solo. When Mustaine is leading the charge in "Holy Wars" or melting faces with "Hangar 18" or the solo at the end of "Five Magics," the album is anything but boring.

Laugh all you want, it one of their most iconic singles that's still played continually as an encore during their live shows.

I wouldn't choose it over anything off their first three albums, but as far as radio rock goes, it did the trick.

Hmmm, well I've tried really hard to get into the album several times, but I'll give it another go.

For me personally, a genre often goes into decline when things get too progressive & technical. (Ie punk to post hardcore)

"The Unforgiven" is the only song on that album that doesn't make me either yawn or punch a wall. I thought that after probably the better part of a decade of not hearing "Enter Sandman" ever five minutes on the radio I would like it again. I did not. It is boring as all ****, and once you've become desensitized to its catchiness there is absolutely nothing entertaining about it.
