    Bonded by Blood is thrash royalty. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the albums they did with Zetro because his vocals are weak, but instrumental wise, it's still there. Rob Dukes was a breath of fresh air.

    When Ride the Lightening was released followed by Master of Puppets Metallica became the thrash band to beat and no group ever caught up to them from there. Had Metallica not brought this style of music to the masses who would have? Definitely the sometimes taken for granted GOAT

  • @ponzo1967
    @ponzo1967 4 дня назад

    This is a fair assessment. I remember all this music coming out starting in 1983 but wondered who this Mustain guy was listed in the writing credits of Kill em all. I completely missed MegaDaves first record but was early into Peace Sells. Its a totally fascinating piece of metal history and personally I'm glad we got both groups because as a fan it all just added to my library of great metal music. Yeah they used Daves music but they also gave him credit and he got paid big time $$ its a win win

    • @deletedhero5579

      I think he should put a clause in that they aren't allowed to ask him because not only is it super disrespectful to him but it ends up making him look bad to audiences like he can't stop talking about them, he has a 40 year career there's no need to ask him anything to do with Metallica

    Great video, man ! It truly is a case of the unstoppable force and the immovable object. Dave being unstoppable and Metallica being immovable. You really can't have one without the other. I love them both. Personally, I prefer Megadeth. Simply by sheer numbers, there are more albums and songs that I like than Metallica. But Metallica came first into my life, and made me more than a metal head. They made me a thrasher. It didn't take long for me to learn who their original lead guitarist was, and what he went on to create. I feel a certain connection to Mustaine in the sense that he has that lone wolf quality. Comes with its pros and cons, like all things. I also believe he's a better guitarist in technical terms. All in all everyone is entitled to their opinion and preference. I am glad to live in a world with such amazing bands, although I never stop wondering what a Metallica with Dave staying a member would have sounded like. Fucking incredible, for sure.

    Still too much midrange in the tone but it sounds better that way lol. Even tho I do love the original tone as it literally sounds thunderous. What people don’t realize is there is a lot of midrange in the tone in ajfa it’s the frequencies they cut out of the mid range to give it that cut plus they cranked the bass to make up for the lack of bass they had because their brains weren’t braining right at the time lol

    You'd think Mustaine would be content with his own success, with Megadeth, instead of choosing to continue to live within Metallica's shadow. But I guess its an easy way to get attention to break out the old, "hey, did I ever tell you about that time I was in Metallica for all but five minutes?" every now and then. Because really lets look at Mustaine's history with Metallica Was in the band for about two years Spends the next forty plus years talking about the two years he was in the band I still think though Justice and Rust are the Twin Peaks of Thrash.

  • @masikorski6411
    @masikorski6411 15 дней назад

    While people say Mustaine is the one who "wrote 'em all", people always overlook his replacement 's contribution. Apart from iconic solos, there would be no Enter Sandman, "die" chant riff from Creeping Death, no bridge in Battery, no "come crawling faster" part of MoP and many more without Kirk Hammett.

    • @springbloom5940
      @springbloom5940 7 дней назад

      Riffs are not songs. Megadave thinks he wrote everything that has three notes he strung together at one time or other.

  • @terriblecertainity
    @terriblecertainity 16 дней назад

    honestly, they got way better without him. Most of their albums are superior to kill and ride. Sure, he wrote Ktulu and Horsemen, those are great. But stuff like Jump In The Fire...among Metallica's weakest songs. I never liked him as a riff writer.

    • @masikorski6411
      @masikorski6411 15 дней назад

      I think they already had a general direction of where to go. Mustaine, Hetfield and Ulrich bonded over their admiration for NWOBHM and punk bands. IMO Cliff influenced Metallica more than Dave.

    I wish I had come across this video sooner so I could really be part of the conversation. No one is going to see this comment. lol Anyway, I think you are totally correct about about Dave's contribution. One thing I have wondered about, and there's no way to prove this because it is intangible, is how much influence Dave might have had on Metallica's early burgeoning hype because of the fierce raw fury of his playing and possible stage presence (and you know he couldn't keep his mouth shut). I'm not saying it was all encompassing or anything, and I'm not taking away Lars' business savvy. I just wonder though if Dave contributed to them getting offered a record contract as soon as they did. I'd love to hear from people who were at those early shows.

    • @BrianWGuitar
      @BrianWGuitar 18 дней назад

      So many people in these comments confuse his riff contribution for how much he influenced their fame and possibly how the band viewed songwriting. Just because he didnt contribute a lot of music doesnt mean he didnt have an affect on Metallica and how they operate or where they got to.
