    Metallica is on my must see live list...what changed me about AC/DC was the live show...saw them in '85 or so and on the last tour and the 2 shows haven't changed much other than different songs...but not much longer than 90 minutes...that was real turn off.

    Death magnetic:
    they changed producer . that's why it has a different sound . they used the same guy sense the black LP


    St. Anger .. has no guitar solo's .. its all the same . :lol::lol:

    I'm not much of an AC/DC fan. I got into them for a little while when I was a kid when Razor's Edge came out, but most of their stuff just sounds the same to me. So Metallica wins this one, for sure.

    I've seen Metallica 3 times & would go see them again in a heartbeat.

    Every time I hear someone say Metallica I think of James saying "YEEAAHH" in that raspy, shit voice.. Even better is when he says "NOOO, YEEAA"... WTF is that?

    The last AC/DC show kind a did me in for them...90 minutes WTF...the tickets were 90 or so...if I pay that much I expect 2 plus hours...I was very disappointed and have hardly listened to them since...been listening to more Metallica, I like their older stuff better and want to see them in concert.

    Fan of both. Hard to say for me.

    But.....


    I'll go with Metallica. Seen them live 3 or 4 times and always had a great time.

    Saw AC/DC a few/couple years ago. Was good, but think Metallica was better live for me.

    AC/DC is the worst band ever, cannot stand their irritating music.
    Metallica for me.

    Metallica totally blew it for me at Bonnaroo. "Who loves you? Who loves you? Metallica loves you." if that wasnt some of the cheesiest shit...music was good though

    Metallica definitely. I'm not a huge fan of AC/DC and as a comparison Metallica finally caved and allowed their music to be sold digitally. AC/DC still hasn't.
  • dcfaithfuldcfaithful Posts: 13,076
    I'd probably pick Metallica. I like AC/DC for what they're worth, but I think Metallica has more depth.

    Now, for now particular reason, I'll just point out that I personally feel that Metallica's albums from the 80's are their work. By far. Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets, and even ...And Justice For All are fantastic metal records.

    Touching on g under p's point, if it were between Metallica and Megadeth, I might have to take Megadeth.

    Overall I'd prolly have to say Metallica, but I dunno if they've done anything as good as Highway to Hell or Back In Black as total albums.

    I'll take Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lighting over those two records any day....for my tastes anyway.

    I just think those 2 ACDC albums are perfect for what they do. Alotta different grooves and takes on their formula. I even thought pretty hard about Dirty Deeds.

    I think there's at least a few songs on every Metallica album I'd get rid of, except may Mop, which I think is their absolute peak. Never been blown away by Anesthesia or any of their instrumentals for that matter. For Whom the Bell Tolls is a good enough song, but it's on the wrong album to me.

    I agree with most of the above, esp John Bush. For me, Sound of White Noise shat all over the Black album. Sound was the best metal album to come out in the early 90's. Never really been into their earlier stuff though.
    Metallica finished for me at the Black Album - Ride and Master are my 2 favs of theirs. haven't heard any New Slayer after Divine Intervention- Love Seasons and Reign in Blood though - and Decade of Aggression is a great live album. Never been into Megadeth though. Don't mind Bon Scott era AC/DC, though they only have a few good songs on each album for me.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    Definatltly MetallicA \m/

    They're my second fav. band of all time, seen them god nows how many times, and are never dissapointing live,
    even if there live shows can be a bit repetative these days they still fucking play it hard live,

    one time 1991 at donington monsters of rock festival ac/dc were headlining with metallica playing before them, i was up the front for metallica, and you could early move, and the atmosphere was amazing, when metallica finished the space up the front of the field half emptied and lots of people saying they were the real headliners.

    not to take anything away from ac/dc i love there music too, and they are great live, but they've got to realize they have an amazing back catalog, but they just seem to play the same shit, and that is why the last time they toured, i didn't even consider wanting to go see them.

    and i agree with some people, it should've been
    metallica or megadeth,
    or i think even

    ac/dc or iron maiden

    i'm going to see iron maiden next thur. with airbourne supporting, so its almost ac/dc supporting maiden :lol::lol:

    I like both. Seen both live, AC/DC back in 2001, Metallica in 2010 and this year, and all of them were great shows and very crowd-interactive (which with Metallica I honestly didn't expect). More recently I've been listening more to Metallica though, so if I had to choose right now I'd probably go with them.

    Metallica!!!

    Master of Puppets is my closing argument. 'nuff said.

    Not much of a fan of either group.I can't take ACDC. ACDC is grade-school rock to me. I know when one of thier songs come on, i turn the channel. I can listen to some of Metallica's songs, so i'll go with them.
