Poll: Which of the Top Four of Thrash Metal is your favourite?

[Socken]

Ha, Metallica. That's funny.

whats funny about it?

seriously?

I think they are a highy acclaimed band that deserves all the respect it gets. And if you look on Wikipedia. They are listed as the 'Big 4' in thrash metal.

They're no where near the best.

Thank god you're here to tell the world, because it apparently doesn't know that.

Sarcasm aside, Peace Sells/Rust in Peace/Countdown to Extinction/Youthanasia(/Cryptic Writings) vs. Ride the Lightning/Master of Puppets/...And Justice for All(/Black Album)... Tough.
Gonna have to go with Metallica though I guess, just because they have some songs that are so awesome, Megadeth doesn't even come close. Although I generally listen to Megadeth more.

 

[Christemo]

Megadeth is awesome. i like Metallica (their drummer is from denmark, where i live), but thats only a few songs.

 

[skathe]

Metallica sucks. Actually all of these bands suck. But if pressed I'd pick Slayer because they were on Viva la Bam.

Aside: Metallica isn't even thrash metal, it's whiny college rock that no one with any taste in music and/or self-respect actually listens to. Metallica = suck. Metallica gets about as much props from me as The Cranberries or Creed. Fuck Metallica. I plan on napalming an entire Metallica concert from a bi-plane that's flying a giant "Fuck Metallica" banner behind it while wearing a t-shirt that says "Fuck Metallica" on the front and "Eat Napalm" on the back and videoing all of it and putting that video on YouTube under the title "Fuck Metallica Plane lolnapalms Metallica & Friends".

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

Slayer, easily.

Fuck Metallica, I hate sellouts.

Then why is your name what it is?

Slipknot are complete sellouts.

 

[Trendkill6]

Slayer...they're just the heaviest of the four.

 

[laikenf]

Does anybody here remember Sacred Riech? Or am I that old? Anyway, THAT was a good Thrash band.

 

[new_age_reject]

I always thought Testament should be there.

Yes Testament, Best Thrash EVER!
They should take Metallica's place in the big 4

I wouldn't go that far seeing as tallica's first 4 are kick ass thrash albums and lets face it, none of the old thrash bands create awesome thrash albums anymore.

 

[dthvirus]

Slayer I guess. I have listened to them more.

Meh, I loved Testaments newest album, It was pretty awesome to say the least.

And thank you for enlightening the world with the one and only true opinion. Because there is no such thing as personal taste.

"Aside:" Show me one credible document of any kind on the origins of thrash that doesn't mention Metallica, please do. And while you're at it, why don't you cure cancer.

 

[Lazarus Long]

Anthrax gets my vote solely on the basis of Scott Ian and his 20 Charisma. As for what I'd rather listen to, meh. Gimme some Emperor.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I'm the only one who loves them equally

Well I guess you got me on that one, it was at least a thrash album.

Word on this one brother.
Phil Rind, what a ledge.

So what you are saying is that...One of the founding bands of Thrash metal arent even thrash metal?

Thats like saying Jimmy Page is a shit guitarist because more guitarists have come after him and use alot of his stuff as a basis for all their music. In other words, even Jimmy Page isnt as good as the old Jimmy Page.

Hmmm....

Think about that one for a moment before you open your trap and start swearing excessively at something or someone you arent ever going to have any contact with again. Ever.

 

[NeutralDrow]

I guess I'd have to go with Metallica by default. I've heard - and liked - three of their songs (Enter Sandman, One...And Justice For All), to hearing - and liking - only one of Megadeth's (Sweating Bullets). And I can't recall ever listening to Slayer or Anthrax.

Thrash isn't a genre I listen to very often, in other words.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Metallica. Don't know the others that well (I know about 3 Megadeath songs, and I don't know the name of one of them), I have never listened to Anthrax and I've only ever heard one Slayer song and con't remember it whatsoever.

In short, this ^^

 

[speedcoreXdandy]

Haven't heard Megadeth, hate Anthrax, strongly dislike Metallica, quite like Slayer.

In conclusion then S.O.D (Stormtroopers Of Death) because Crossover thrash wins every time.

 

[iJosh]

Metallica FTW.

It's kind of harsh to call metallica thrash metal though. Maybe it's just me.
