We're into the Sweet 16 ladies and gentleman — straight-up, head-to-head, one-on-one matches:

Guardian may be the biggest longshot left in the tourney. Megadeth is the only member of the big four still standing.

Which act is your favourite?

(When you vote, please record your pick and state your reasons)

Blind Guardian. Had to get used to Hansi's voice but I can't stand Dave's and the music of BG has more depth imo.

 

[The Flash]

Megadeth and it's not even close. Far more powerful.

 

[Night Prowler]

Megadeth.

 

[Black Wizard]

Fuck you mckindog. First you put Blind Guardian and Testament in the same group, then you put Megadeth up against Blind Guardian. All three are in my top five favourite bands.

Blind Guardian come third with Megadeth fourth, so my vote goes to Blind Guardian.

 

[Taker]

Megadeth

 

[Unknown One]

Blind Guardian easily.

 

[Murder89]

Megadeth

 

[Natalie]

Megadeth, no contest. Hansi's voice is really annoying and too many songs have chimes and triangles and it sounds pretty...uh...lame. Its like pansified metal. While Megadeth isn't my favorite band by a long stretch, at least its gnarly and down-to-earth.

 

[Jeffmetal]

Megadeth

 

[LooseCannon]

I am a huge fan of Blind Guardian...and only a decent fan of Megadeth.

Megadeth it is. One last round remains before the final eight.
