drum machines cant! u dont think drummers write songs? and anyway id love to see the laughs some 1 gets when they go onstage and say ther using a drum machine. drumming IS NOT a simple task any drummer would be offended, what makes it so simple eh?

@EMB HipHop DJs use drum machines on stage and their fans love em.LOL

@Baudelaire.Excuse my tone, I am being serious. You agree with most that Metallica is better because of record sales. Would you say that it is a coincidence that more people choose Metallica over Megadeth and Metallica is musically superior, or do you assume they all know as much as you do and thats why they love Metallica? You clearly know more theory than us yet you still argue with us and resort to electronic sampling of drums over a real drummer. Also, anyone that knows about Metal, knows that Metallica and Megadeth changed their sound to please the majority of consumers. Metallica, however, surpassed Megadeth in popularity and record sales. Post "And Justice For All" Metallica songs are heard on the radio and reached people like Skold(no offense) who dislikes Metal yet chooses Metallica over Megadeth.
Could you just clear that up for me Baudelaire?

EMB, people MIGHT laugh, and they'd be wrong - and if you do your job, by the end of the show, they'll have had a great time, and it won't matter at all that you used a drum machine. in fact, most people probably wouldn't care - it would sound just as good in any event. in my opinion, i can get a better, more even drum sound using a machine, because every sample was perfected already, and a single line out is easier to manage then 6 mics and a mixer and a shitload of equipment to go along with it. it's very easy to dial in the right drum tone to blend with the other elements - and once it starts thumping, people forget there is no drummer. and a drummer isn't any better at composing music then the average joe off the street. they make drum beats better then the average joe off the street, thats all. drumming IS a simple task that can, like all simple tasks, be made more complicated then it needs to be. and, in any event, my machine can handle that complicated stuff just as well.

i say this: i say there is no real way to say which band is better based on opinion and argument of talent. the only solid thing we have is numbers; and metallica has sold more records. now, depending on how you look at it, that could mean something, or it could mean nothing. it could mean that as entertainers they are superior because they entertain more people, or it could mean that they 'sold out' and didn't make music for its own sake. it could be taken either way. i'm not sure what you are asking here; i enjoy metallica more then megadeth because i am more pleased by their music, the cause of that i discern to be superior songwriting ability, superior musicanmanship, including singing and lyrical content. but that is mere opinion. if i want to present a argument based on fact, there is no fact but record sales. i am not saying that that is why i like them, i'm saying thats the only factual way to judge them on a extrapersonal level.

as for the changing of their sound, i see that as a good thing. but that is just opinion, as is my opinion that it is a good thing, because on metallicas part at least their talent and dedication remained consistent, and they avoided musical stagnation, which i believe would be a fate worse then softening to appeal to more people. and i don't personally see anything wrong with that - whether or not i would do it, i see it as justifiable.

and i don't resort to a drum machine; i choose it because i prefer the advantages it carries. it works far better for me then a real drummer. i don't have to split money with it, help it move things, help mic it, have to work around it's schedule, argue with it, cope with it's failures, share pharmaceuticals with it, teach it the new part, wait for him to learn it, it's available at any time, sounds better, more flexible, bigger memory, etc. etc...

I like early metallica stuff the more recent (st.anger,death magnetic) are extremely disappointing =[ in that way MegaDeath are better .-. so for me I like both ahaha =]

and the drumming thing..I stopped drumming and picked up gutiar because drumming was to fucking hard .-. also I was moving and wouldn't have a drumkit to use anymore -_-

so what if the thing cant make a mistake or complain or whatever, I just think its stupid to have a machine playing an instrument. why not just make the whole band machines, it will never complain or make mistakes!

I would not want to live in that world

LOL Risk was not good but The System has Failed and United Abominations gave new hope to speed Metal. Its just hard to find good lyrics and clean or semi-clean vocals.
