What would the world be like if Phil Collins never came from behind that drum set to replace Peter Gabriel in Genesis?
Mustaine may not have been a good fit for Metallica, but he is so technically superior to Hammet that it's not even close.Better off with Kirk. I prefer his more melodic playing though on solos such as Sanitarium and I don't think Mustaine would have been able to pull them off the way Hammet does.
Agreed. I like both, I like Megadeth better of the two. It worked out for the fans.I don’t know if Dave could have made Metallica better than how things worked out for them. They probably wouldn’t have softened (think Black album and beyond). I think Dave had a harder, heavier edge to the overall music.
I do know this……without the feud, we don’t get Megadeth, and that would be a shame.
Maybe not a popular opinion but I stopped listening to anything new after Death Magnetic. Just didn’t really love either St Anger or Death Magnetic all that much
Oh yeah, it was quite toxic. A bunch of immature alcoholics at the time, and Dave was known to fight when he got drunk. This interview was just 15 years ago - most things I've seen say Dave and them are in a better place now and get along, but its pretty easy to see why it didn't work out.Mustsaine wasn't a great fit in the band personality wise. Both better separate.
As has been stated upthread, it’s not a question of with or without Mustaine, it’s with or without Burton… It was Cliff’s band, they moved to SF because he demanded it. And that’s personally how I view anything after MoP. It’s basically like Ronnie James Dio Black Sabbath…not as good as the original lineup and not even really Sabbath…
And a specific line of demarcation for people who consider or have considered themselves Metallica fans.The Black Album is a masterpiece of pop metal though.
I have no opinion other than Michael McDonald RUINED the Doobie Brothers.I'm always fascinated by bands/rappers feuding or infighting. Few are more famous than the split between Dave Mustaine and Metallica.
In your opinion, would Metallica have been even better had Mustaine stayed in the band or were they better off with Kirk?
Death Magnetic has two songs that rank with the best they’ve ever done - Suicide and Redemption, The Day That Never Comes. The rest are fine but don’t stand out imho.I thought Death Magnetic was a good quality album. St Anger was them attempting to get back to their roots and it failed

I always thought And Justice for All from MoP was a bigger shift than Justice to the Black Album. Not to mention I just don’t think there was much else they could do in the thrash style.And a specific line of demarcation for people who consider or have considered themselves Metallica fans.
An argument can be made that the black album is the most fan divisive album in history.

Metallica would not have worked long term with Dave. Dave has proven to be difficult to work with, and three trying to be Chief (James, Lars, Dave) wouldn’t work.
