Megadeth
One of the top 10 metal bands from the 80s and 90s alongside, let's say, Anthrax, Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Motorhead. Vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine was an early member of Metallica, a fact that haunts him to this day in the form of endless discussion boards that make plain how many metalheads see Megadeth as a second-rate Metallica. I will say their logos look alike, and their skeleton (Vic Rattlehead) looks like the love child from an unnatural affair between Motorhead's skeleton and Maiden's Eddie. If you were honest, you'd admit that most heavy metal sounds the same, and little of it sounds as good as Megadeth.
