American BIG 4 vs German BIG 4 - Battle of the Bands!

[LiveeviL2000]

THE ULTIMATE BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!
Which country's BIG 4 do you believe is the better overall grouping...

REPRESENTING THE USA AND MOM'S APPLE PIE!!
METALLICA / MEGADETH / SLAYER / ANTHRAX
or
FROM GERMANY, THE COUNTRY WITH THE HARSHEST SOUNDING LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD (and damn fine beer)!!
DESTRUCTION / SODAM / KREATOR / TANKARD

YOU DECIDE!!!

 

[Iron1]

Kreator & Destruction belong up there with Slayer and Megadeth. Anthrax sucked after 2 or 3 albums. Sodom was cool, but never at the level of the others and Tankard is barely known outside of Europe. And, Metallic is Metallica with Megadeth not too far behind. Not exactly a fair fight...

And, he should have led with this for Germany:

Oh, totally. And dude can get after it, too. Love just about every riff he played, too. So many killer memories attached to the older stuff he ripped through.

 

[LiveeviL2000]

I know its the same guy and all, but ...

Anyone else draw the parallels or just me?

I am going USA

If it was Exodus instead of Anthrax it wouldn't even be close.

I do think Kreator and Sodom are fricking outstanding bands! I like them more than Metallica and Megadeth.

Still, Slayer tips the scales too far.

US.

 

[smitty_p]

This was much more challenging.

The reason is that there were two Blue Shirt Guys! How’s anyone supposed to make a decision?

In the end, I give the edge to Right Blue Shirt Guy, instead of Left Blue Shirt Guy, because at one point Right Blue Shirt Guy played an Arctic camouflage guitar. I’m not necessarily a big fan of Arctic camouflage, but it did provide just a bit more visual variety.
