Anthrax are a band. Ian, Benante and Bello/Lilker are/were a decent combo. Benante has skills but the other 2 (in whichever form) are not technicians. They can write though. They have over time written great riffs and some good songs. They've always struggled to find a vocalist to compliment them, either in vocal style (belladonna/turner/the other bloke) or rational behaviour (milano).
There are so many reasons Megadeth suck, I cannot be bothered to start. As Bernardo and Scott pointed out, if technique is anything to be admired, we would be contributing to a Malmsteen forum.
