Re: Metalheads, your GOAT metal/hard rock bands lineups
Mustaine, Ellefson, Menza, and Friedman were the greatest Megadeth line-up ever.
I liked the Pantera line-up from Cowboys to Re-inventing considering it never changed :bowdown: (Dime rip).
Mayhem's line-up with Dead and Euronymous was the best Mayhem ever.

Yup...and it's not even close.
OP, why do you think that is the best Metallica lineup? KEA is the only album Mustaine had a major contribution on, and it was quite easily their weakest album on the 80's imo.

Re: Metalheads, your GOAT metal/hard rock bands lineups
Huge Metallica fan for just shy of 25 years now and I'm gonna disagree with the Mustaine years being the prime. Het, Lars, Kirk and Cliff > all others...although I personally think Rob Trujillo is a f*cking beast on the bass and he tends to get drastically underrated. Mustaine went that classic Megadeth lineup got together. Those boys were unstoppable.
Big time agreement on the GNR lineup. I just saw a trailer for some DVD release Axl is putting out this year of a long-ass show his tribute band did in Vegas and I couldn't help but be awed at how ridiculous it looked. He sounds terrible now and they've got some makeup wearing dink wearing a top hat and posing EXACTLY like Slash playing Slash's parts. Its a joke.

Dio-era Sabbath > Ozzy Sabbath

I actually like KEA the most. It has everything the other 80s albums have to offer, but much rawer and aggressive. The 7 minute song, the instrumental, the filler songs, the go to song. It's like those 80s Metallica albums all were based on the same formula.
RTL was the bit more polished version and from a mix of song material and production MOP was their peak, but AJFA already pointed to the direction they were heading and that wasn't a good direction imo.
As for Sabbath I think Iommi/Butler did their best job on the Ozzy albums song writing wise, but the Dio years were way better musically.

I guess I base it on potential, imagine how much greater Metallica would've been with a decade of TWO riff gods (Hetfield and Mustaine) working together:bowdown: Hammett hardly contributes in songwriting anyways and he's a bit overrated as a soloist. Add to that Cliff Burton...what could've been:(

No chemistry and as much as Kirk's overrated, Mustaine wouldn't provide anything on the lead, same for Hetfield.

agreed, with mustaine they would have written some sweet music, imagine the first few megadeth albums mixed with the first few metallic albums:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Spot on, I love Ozzy as much as the next guy but two of my top 3 favorite Sabbath albums are from the Dio years, Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell.

Mustaine > Hammett as lead guitarists...proof? The Four Horsemen, which Mustaine wrote but his version is called the Mechanix, Hammett basically ripped off the solo Mustaine had laid down before he got canned.:facepalm Dave has also claimed that he wrote a lot of the riffs that Metallica used in later albums like Master Of Puppets, I think he's said that The Thing That Should Not Be and Leper Messiah were a few of his riffs.
Mustaine has written songs that have easily some of the greatest guitar work in metal history (Tornado of Souls, Lucretia, In My Darkest Hour, Wake Up Dead, Peace Sells, Mary Jane to name but a few):rockon:

Exactly. They're 1 & 3 for me out of their catalogue.
