Poll: Metallica fans, come sort this out!

[Fruhstuck]

I don't like most metallica songs, but i love Seek & Destroy - awesome song
One's good but the video depresses me lol

Back when I was at school/college it wasn't One vs MoP, it was Metallica vs Megadeth. Personally, I much preferred Megadeth, although I liked Metallica too. Dave Mustaine always sounded so much more pissed off and genuine, and their lyrics weren't as pretentious as Metallicas could be perceived to be.

Oh, it's still a big argument. I preferred Metallica back when they were awesome, but since the Black Album they've been sucking hard while Megadeth has remained pretty badass. Personally, I think Dave is a little full of himself, but then again, so is Lars (to a much more ridiculous extent). Plus, I went to Gigantour with Megadeth, Children of Bodom, and In Flames in the pit for $50 while Metallica wants $80 for seats halfway up a stadium. No thanks.

To the Megadeth vs. Metallica debate, all I have to say is this: United Abominations.

That is all.

One: is about a soldier who lost everything in a explosion except his mind, another great riff but said to be Metallicas best instrumental.

One is not an instrumental. It's a song, not a piece. There are vocals.

Yeah sorry I didn't make it clear, I meant the instrumental at the end of the song is their most famous. Same problem when I explained Master of Puppets, I meant the instrumental near the end of the song is the longest out of their songs I think, I read it somewhere!

No worries. I just wanted to point that out to you.

I prefer One. I really like the somber intro then the build up to the metal rock out.

Fade to Black is probably my favorite song, only because it is shorter and thus more easily digestible than One.

 

[RhinoTuna]

I passively listened to Metallica as my brother was heavily into them back in the day (Still is). I voted Master of Puppets because i never really got into One, nor do i see it as such a big song. But then again, i'm not really a fan so what do i know.

I don't even know what side you're arguaing for 0.0.
I liked united abominations and bought it on release, but it has nothing on some of the better albumns from each band. Is that like a comparison of their new releases, because I'm not sure I see the point of that.

Well, I can see how you thought that. Anyways, I thought that it was a great album, one of those rare ones that don't have songs that you don't like. I said it because, for all my ignorance of Metallica, I've never seen them make any album that good.

 

[Ago Iterum]

ONE.

 

[Nazulu]

Both are mainstream, and therefore not good. Start thinking like a metalhead.

If I had to pick one of the two, I'd go with Master of Puppets. Just a personal preference since I like fast-tempo songs. My favorite Metallica song of all is Dyers Eve from AJfA, in case you were wondering.

Also, MoP is less mainstream than One.

I am a metal head but I like all kinds of music. Usually when something is mainstream it's because it is the best song that is out at the time. Don't compare the mainstream crap you here today to the best songs in the world in the 60s, 70s and 80s, it's all opinions but 'One' is my one of my favourite all time songs and therefore it's great!

 

[Vlane]

Master of Puppets is better IMO. One isn't bad but the only thing I love about the song is the tapping solo.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

You're asking me to choose? Why? I can't! Curse you!

 

[invitationofchaos]

Good day you lot, this debate just broke out at school on Metallica and a comparison between their 2 most famous songs, Master of Puppets and One.

Master of Puppets: is basically an anti drug song and contains probably Metallicas greatest riff and one of their longest instrumentals. Released 1986 on their Master of Puppets album.

One: is about a soldier who lost everything in a explosion except his mind, another great riff but said to be Metallicas best instrumental. Released 1988 on their And Justice for All album, this also won an award!

Both are heavy metal songs and if you haven't heard them before your missing out, unless you hate metal music!

I haven't decided yet myself. Chuck in other Metallica songs you like or your favourite album, or where and when you first heard these songs.

i can't decide off of the top of my head, but for relentlessly drilling the point in on both fronts (Music vid and album) one wins with M.O.P (i'm lazy) coming in a close, VERY CLOSE second. if i were to go into detail, it would be a draw so i'm going to leave it at that.

 

[Nazulu]

Which was the first one you heard?

 

[Aunel]

I like Master of Puppets more,
I don't get all the fuss about One, it's a real good song, but Eye of the Beholder and Blackened are way better in my opinion

 

[irishstormtrooper]

The best song is Enter Sandman. That's right. Enter Sandman.

 

[MalevolentJim]

I've seen both songs live last summer.
One was by far more impressive.
So thats going to be my choice.

 

[melig]

Master Of Puppets. Simply because it's slightly awesomer because One is a bit more repetitive.
