Metallica never made music simply out of hate for another band. What were Dave Mustaine's motivations, aside from being bigger and better than Metallica? Hell if it wasn't for Dave's hatred of Metallica he wouldn't have half the fans he has now. Without all his anti-Metallica comments Megadeth would be no more popular than Testament.

Megadeth is essentially the band for the idiots who still think it's bad that Metallica changed. The 80s were over, the mullets were gone, the times were changing, and Metallica wanted to write more introspective songs. So what? Change is a sign of intelligence; people who never change are often the subjects of psychological studies.

But then again Megadeth changed too, which makes the previous point moot. Unfortunately people STILL think that Metallica are sellouts and Megadeth aren't. Sure, Megadeth was slightly more “metal” than Metallica but that just goes to prove that metal has no bearing on how good a band is. Metallica STILL had heavier riffs, better lyrics, and better production than Megadeth.

Metal shouldn't be about how “metal” you are, it's about who is the better band. Hell even all those dumbass rappers that metalheads love to hate don't go around whining about how much more “rap” someone is over another. Anyway, the point is that Metallica always made the music they wanted to make. You really can't say the same for Megadeth, since they were always under pressure by Metallica's success.
