Mustaine only wrote a couple of the albums, but he was a pretty talented guy. too bad he was a huge drunk, which is why he was kicked out of the band. I'd say they're better with Hammett, cause he is a better guitarist overall

To bad they were the best ones lol.

Honestly though I prefer Hammett as I don't really care for Mustaine's voice.

Really, I think that their older albums were better, and Mustaine now has his own band, Megadeth, in which he plays awesome guitar. Overall, I think they would be better if Mustaine was still their guitarist. Don't get me wrong, though, Hammet is an awesome guitarist. I just think that Dave Mustaine is better.

Hammet is better for me... Mustaine is nice and good on megadeth, which I am not a real fan of.

Kirk Hammett is way better than Mustaine. Mustaine's solos were always sloppy and still are. He always wanted to rush things in Metallica. Kirk's solos are more complex, powerful, and overall better. Dave was simply a waste of Metallica's time in my opinion. He was on drugs more than on stage thus why he got kicked out. Mustaine always preferred quantity over quality. He believed that hammering more notes would make a better sound...they don't. Kirk's style is an even balance. Kirk's guitar is also better than Mustaine's. ESP are pretty much the best guitars you can buy which also makes Kirk's sound a whole lot better.

The 11th Greatest Guitarist Of All Time...Kirk Hammett!

Mustaine is a dooshbag. They got rid of him because we was doing drugs and he had a bad temper. Kirk's the man. He kick's Dave's pretty ass in guitar. Also Dave is a sh*tty singer.

I agree with 100% Mustaine was and is terrible in all categories. Singing, he's is an alright guitar player, but not better than Kirk by far, he fails epically at singing. Listen to Peace Sells by Megadeth rofl. I give Mustaine a -5 for effort.

Whoever made Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. Which to my understanding is Kirk. So there's my answer : ).

I agree with you 100%
Hmm...it didn't post my last sentence...

Dave Mustaine is where he should be...out of Metallica and in his own band that accepts drunks, druggies, high tempers, and bad guitar playing. Congratz Mr. Mustaine >.>.

We are just talking about who the band Metallica is/was better with not who wrote better lyrics. Kirk doesn't write lyrics.

Hammett doesn't write songs. Try playing Fade To Black on guitar and call it easy. Try to play The Day That Never Comes on guitar and call it easy. Both are talented guitarists, but Hammett has more style then Mustaine.
