Mechanix and Four Horseman?

I know that Dave Mustaine and Metallica have settled their past disputes and stuff, so my question is if Megadeth still plays Mechanix live. He used to introduce the song as "their way" of the song in oppose to "their way" of the song live. And I can't find any recent live versions of the song. Which do you personally like better?

    I think Megadeth still plays "The Mechanix" live, although I couldn't find their recent live performances of it either. And I prefer "The Four Horsemen" by Metallica, for me it's better both musically and lyrically. Dave Mustaine basically ripped off Metallica's version because all he did is added a few new riffs, sped it up a bit, changed the lyrics and the title. That's not clever at all.
