80's Thrash Metal All Star Line Up

[Bryant]

Hmmmm.......

vocals - Mike Howe. Metal Church was sort of a cross between thrash and American powermetal. He was incredible. If he doesn't count then, Joel Dubay (Powermad)

Lead guitar - Alex Skolnik. Enough said.

Rhythm guitar - has to be James. Metallica might suck now, but that driving rhythm guitar sound in the 80's is what made Metallica gods.

Bass - tough call because I don't like too many thrash bassists. Steve Digiorgio would probably be my pick, but he gets a little too loopy at times. I really would have to think too hard at this one. I love thrash, but few thrash bassists.

Drums - A tie between Dave (Lombardo) and Vinnie Paul. I can't pick between the two.

My thrash dream team would be:

Steve Reynolds - vocals <- one of the most aggressive shouters ever.
Andy Sneap - Guitar1 <- his outstanding perfomance on the first sabbat uk albums deserves much more attention, even if he produces some plastic sounding albums by now.
Francis M. Howard Guitar2 <- if you dont know him then go hit youtube and type in "Incubus - Battle of Armageddon" no more to say!
Vinnie Daze - Drums <- a freaking animal on the drums
D.D. Vernie - Bass <- for his unique sound that no other has!

Great call! Jeeze, remember when that dude could seriously sing? Instead of becoming the next Rob Halford or Tate or whoever, he decided to become all har'core!
