    HAHA! Some of the bands in here aren't even from U.S.A. And who tagged Pantera in here? I don't know where to start with that...

    Slayer is from LA, which I guess you could say they're close enough to the bay, as they get grouped together with the bay area. Nuclear Assault is East Coast thrash.
