Elaborate :p. I'd like to know why. There are many reasons xD.
Well, he is a birther for one. For two, he does not want to appear with any black metal bands. He can also be a bit of a conspiracy nutter (Endgame was based on, in part, stuff from the Alex Jones film Endgame, for instance).

I'm going with Megadeth. Although, I would have posted a song from Rust in Peace to represent Megadeth. Personally, I think that is there best album to date.

I've been told he just recently came out as against gay marriage and there was a lot of hate on both sides. And also I seem to remember bandmates found him intolerable from a few interviews I read. Anyway, the wikipedia article [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Mustaine#Personal_life] on his personal life will probably give you a reason if you didn't have one already.

I suppose he's a bit of an idiot yes but I still like his music. Like I said, there are many reasons. A pity he's leaning into the uglier side of Christianity. Well more so anyway.

A "birther" is a term that is used in America to refer to a group of people who believe that Obama was born in Kenya, not in the US, therefore making in ineligible for the presidency. They are usually derided by most people, because of the loads of evidence against the fact and the lack of evidence to support it. Usually put in the same category of conspiracy nutters who believe in the Illuminati or that the moon landing was faked. :p

Gotta go with Metallica Just for the history I have with them. Anthrax comes second, because when an American band does a song about my favorite comic book that's british, I have to give them points.
Slayer is too heavy for me.
Just never really got into Megadeth.

Out of Thrash I like Kreator the most... and the so called "big 4" I can tolerate them. And I would prefer Metallica the most.


SO Metallica.. but really non are that relevant anymore. Except for attracting new people people to the music.

Megadeath out of those 4, but my personal favourite metal band is In flames!

Oh yeah, he's an insanely talented musician and pretty damn influential, just not a very nice person. Doesn't stop me from listening to his music.

Megadeth was always my favourite of the 4.

They had more musical variety and inventiveness I felt than the other 3, as well as having a good mix between the heaviness and technical stuff.

However - nothing beats a bit of Reign In Blood by Slayer when you need some speed-rage! (Plus Slayer live is a hell of an experience)

I actually think Dave being a bit of a dick is beneficial to his music, hehe. That sneering, snarly aggression in his voice and the often clashing tight musical notes, I think the riffs reflect that angry, bitter personality.

Metallica are by far my favourite, although I don't really like the others at all, and while I love Kill em all. I don't think I'd like Metallica half as much if they stuck to trash metal.


So my vote goes to Sabbath. You say thats not an option, but Sabbath is always an option.

Megadeth. I care little for the other of the big four.
Though the true kings of thrash are, and will always be, Overkill.

Well, it depends really.

I listen to Metallica when I wanna headbang. I listen to Megadeth when I wanna fight. I listen to Slayer when I wanna kill. I listen to Anthrax when... actually, I haven't heard any of their songs, but I'll assume they're good; they ARE a part of the Big IV, after all.

I think I'll go with "Can't decide". They all rock, but each band rocks harder in specific situations.

Try and guess my favourite band! Hint: It starts with a T and ends with ool.
Of those four I'd have to say Metallica though.
