Can't agree with you.
Megadeth had one album I really liked. Metallica had four. I really couldn't care less about what either of them are doing now. |

Sounds to me like you simply don't appreciate the sludgy nature of their sound, and use that to call them 'garbage'. I mean 'riff quotient'? Damn, I bet you HATE rock and roll... what with them not noodling fast enough nor matching your riff quotient requirement. |

The whole reason there's so much damn music is because people like so many different things. I used to be that guy who ran around saying 'this sucks' or 'this is shit' if I didn't like something, but then I grew up and realized what an asshole that makes me. Yanno, like who the hell am I to call someone's artistic self expression 'shit'? Who the hell am I to define that? What have I done to put my own self out there? There are too many critics in the world and not enough appreciators. Megadeth never kept my attention beyond the 90's. That doesn't matter, because Mustaine is still a metal legend. I'm just some asshole. |

It's easy for me to understand why people like Metallica more. I just don't agree. I too couldn't care less about what they're doing now. |

They didn't even hold my attention that long. Of course, Metallica didn't keep my interest beyond the 80's.
One thing I can say about Metallica though is that, for me, at least the Black album was transitional. It could have been a musical brick wall like "Risk". |

Mustaine's vocals annoys me. That's really the only thing about them that was ever off-putting to me. |

I'm honestly more of a jam band/rock and roll/stoner rock/doom type of dude. I love sludgy riff driven rock. |

I'm not a huge thrash fan - in fact, Megadeth is really the only band of that ilk that I absolutely love. I like Slayer too. My absolute fave is Sabbath, and the Dio incarnation is my favorite Sabbath lineup. I'm also a huge Priest fan. For new bands, I like Queens of the Stone Age and The Sword. |

Noodling does not equal riffing. And I listen to a fair amount of rock. I don't expect metal when I listen to rock. When I listen to metal, well, I expect metal. In large part that means either great riffs, song structures, or atmosphere. Preferably all three. When it comes to thrash metal, that means bands like Heathen, Anacrusis, or Vektor. But you don't need all three. With thrash you just really need a good riff quotient. Listen to Dark Angel's album "Darkness Descends." It's got like 150+ riffs over the course of the album. That's an incredible riff quotient. The very opposite of what bores me. |
