Megadeth and Iron Maiden definitely have had there ups and downs later in their respective careers, but at least the stuff that they were playing is metal. I don't known what Load, Reload, and several of Metallica's albums can be listed as, but it's not metal. Also, it's well known that Dave Mustaine wrote a lot of Metallica's early stuff. For example, Seek and Destroy's intro riff definitely sounds like something that he would have written. |
Yeah, after "... And Justice for All" I stopped listening to Metallica. I know that their self titled album (the black album) was their most popular (bought in abundance by non-metal heads and frat-boys everywhere), but I never liked it at all. Having said that however, that album is Mozart compared to everything they did after that. I'd rather listen to Ashlee Simpson than Load, Re-Load or St. Anger. 
Also, about Dave Mustaine's former Metallica writing, the main riff in "Four Horsemen", which Mustaine helped write, is used in the song "Mechanix" on Megadeth's first album. And you can totally hear "The Call of Ktulu" in Megadeth's "Hangar 18". 
But you could take all of Metallica's best songs and put them on one single album and it still wouldn't equal Megadeth's "Rust in Peace", IMHO. That was the first Megadeth album to feature Friedman and Menza, and their collective talents really came together on it.
