Thrash metal

Thrash metal (sometimes referred to simply as thrash) is a subgenre of heavy metal music, one of the extreme metal subgenres that is characterised by high speed riffing and aggression. Thrash metal songs typically use fast, percussive and low-register guitar riffs, overlaid with shredding-style lead work. Thrash metal lyrics also often deal with social issues using visceral and blunt language, an approach which partially overlaps with the hardcore genre. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Sabbat

i wasn't saying that LoL but i understand how it sounds, id still prefer thrash over classic metal or something like that. ya know bands like slayer absolutely annihilate black sabbath, ac dc etc, I still love aggression, thats the power behind metal!!! ok i like softer stuff but that came with time, i'm always going to be a rocker at heart/

v yeah, thrash metal fans can't face the fact that Slipknot is much better than any thrash band, it's better to keep them away from that torment.

its a great genre but i don't listen as much as i used to, when i first got into metal it was thrash with little amounts of nu metal, mostly slipknot above the rest, then that turned on it head lol its good to re visit this i guess, most other fans are too serious..

Both Pantera and Metallica suck. You know why they suck? Because none of their members are fans of technical gothic metal. If you're a fan, then join the group to show your appreciation of this wonderful style of metal.

Don´t know man,don´t take it so seriously.It would have been better if you explained yourself instead of recommending new speakers.

Metallica's influence on Pantera isn't debatable so I didn't try. Was I supposed to act like those morons in Pantera's shoutbox and deny a fact or something?

It's funny to see a guy who takes part in a discussion, then advertising some group. I mean, OK, but usually those who are posting links to the groups, are forever alone of something. Hope you understood anything.

"No one posted anything about influence." Anyway it does sounds to early Metallica in some parts to me,and i don´t think i need new speakers,i actually use headphones,anyway.

OK, I see that I've made some discussion here, so maybe I'll correct myself. I have great speakers, I have no doubts. I agree with veyita_88, and that's what I meant.

Oh and who doesn´t hears the clear influence of Metallica on Cowboys from Hell is probably deaf.Judas Priest,Metallica,are the bands that influenced them most on that album,im sure.

"Metallica's first albums are all either meh or total crap" Not.Kill em All and RTL are great and influenced a lot of thrash and metal.They influenced Kreator,Sepultura,Blind Guardian,etc.They turned shit,we all know,but their first albums are good,denying it is silly,and im far of being a Metallica fan.

Metallica don't suck, they just made some awful albums.
