Thrash Metal

cianl1

The thread for appreciation of probably the most awesome form of metal.

Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, et al.

And I post a link to the essential rules for this genre:

(Note: not to be taken seriously, on anyone's part).

Also, check out the rules for the other sub-genres.

I think Trash Metal for me always encompasses the essential question as to who is better, Dave Mustaine or Metallica, and as time goes on I am beginning to believe its Metallica who made the wrong move by sacking Dave Mustaine.

It would have been interesting to see the band Metallica could have been with the lineup Ulrich, Burton, Hetfield and Mustaine

D.Q

it would have been interesting,no doubt...

but it had clearly gotten to the point where they COULDNT work together anymore.

Also, Kirk is a very very good guitarist. Hes not nearly as technically proficient as Dave,or in fact alot of other guitarists, but within Metallica he has prospered and has a real gift for memorable lead lines that add vital colour and texture to the song.I think Daves lead lines can be a little wanky sometimes.

They could have released Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning and Puppets at a stretch. Justice for All would have been a postumous release and I can imagine that if Mustaine had of been in the band then Hanger 18 would have been on MOP and the band would have split up after Burton died because Mustaine wouldnt have seen the point - so In My Darkest Hour would have been on Justice for All

Well, maybe they were wrong to fire Dave, I don't know. Could have checked him into rehab or something, but the way Mustaine went on after he got sacked was what soured me to him. Just trash talking James and Lars all the time. He even had a go at Kirk, even though he had nothing to do with it, just simply because he was the guy who replaced him.

I'm not denying Megadeath their place in history, they've no doubt earned that, but I still think Dave Mustaine is a tool. His drinking was such that he was blind to the point of not seeing that he was acting like a complete prick.

Kirk replacing him was Kirk's crime

And Mustaine has said on camera, in an interview to Dave Novardo,that he slept with Kirk's girlfriend behind Kirk's back

One of the sideline bands. Not the greatest technically but not a cliché sound.

Does anyone remember Xentrix's cover version of Ghostbusters?

Found my 12" copy of it just last week.

Overkill's Years of Decay was one of the best thrash albums very imo.

Yep, i also remember the wacked out video for it too. How stoned was everyone involved?

There's no video like a stoned video my friend.:D

Some of the best videos were created when the people involved were all f'ing baked, you know?

Some of the best albums came out under the same influence too, Extra Hot Sauce - Taco Of Death was one. Best cover of freebird ever.

I finally understand the term half-baked. haha!
