Hetfield vs Mustaine

In what area?

Rhythm Guitar - Hetfield
Lead Guitar - Mustaine
Vocals - Hetfield
Songwriting ability - I'll give it to Mustaine since he wrote most of Megadeth's stuff single-handed.
Personality - Not too big on either one.
Better frontman - Hetfield
Better band - Hetfield

I can't think of anything else now, but I'm gonna go with Hetfield.

How could anyone vote Hetfield above anyone? Mustaine FTW!

Because I like him more. Seattle '89 is proof enough, though I prefer him pretty much all around. Mustaine has written some good material as well and is at least a technically admirable guitarist, but when I saw Megadeth live last summer his voice was in an absolutely horrendous condition. Hetfield isn't at his best either, but he's not that bad.

Mustaine if the poll is about better guitarrist.

Also Mustaine is a better songwriter than Hetfield.

Okay, I guess that if I have to pick one I'd have to go for Hetfield, but that's only because my knowledge of Megadeth is a bit lacking outside of the three albums I've got. My answer might be completely different once I've heard a few more Megadeth albums.

Dave Mustaine emanates pure awesomeness! Rust In Peace!

James Hetfield by miles.

I'm a huge fan of Megadeth, and Dave Mustaine is still an awesome guitarist etc, but there's mainly two reasons why I don't like him much:

1. The whole Metallica rivalry. He got kicked out of a band and it took him 25 years to get over it. On the Some Kind of Monster scene he's all like 'Do you know how hard it was for me?' etc whinging and whining... seriously, fucking man up. There are thousands, possibly millions of bands who would kill for a quarter of the success Megadeth has had, and he could never get over being kicked out of Metallica. And at the end of the day, he only had himself to blame for it.

2. He did a signing at a music event a few years ago for Marshall amps, I waitied about 2 hours, and to be honest he just seemed like a dick. It's understandable, that maybe he was just having a shit day, or obviously it's hard to keep smiling and stay motivated for such a long time, but either way when you've waited so long to get a few seconds with one of your heroes, you just don't really expect them to be so miserable.

Also, James Hetfield is basically God. The guy seems awesome in pretty much any video or picture you see of him, and has tonnes more character and charisma.

Both bands kick ass, but definitely going with Hetfield on this one.

As a guitarist, Mustaine by miles (though over time I've come to realize James is surprisingly good, and probably the most musically gifted in the band).

As a vocalist, James is obviously better.

Oh and this doesn't have anything to do with the music but personality wise...only the most hardcore of fanboys can't admit that Mustaine is an ass of epic proportions. LOL

I love him but good lord man!

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

Listen to doom metal, worship Satan

Mustaine is a character, I love that guy. Anybody ever seen The Megadeth Documentary?
