Okay, heres a really difficult question for you and I know that well never be able to put an end to this discussion. But still Id be interested in what you think about this. I guess, everybody knows about the different categories for all the various styles in Metal which surfaced over the years. And every time when theres a new band which seems not to fit in an existing category people open a new drawer and create a new label for it. Something which many people seem to dislike. Dont you agree that a few of those categories are quite useful when you are searching for new stuff? I came across this topic while surfing and there was this discussion going on if Metallica were Thrash or not. I think, this is a perfect example as I myself would label most of these old bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus, Testament, Over Kill, Anthrax, Sacred Reich or Nuclear Assault as Speed Metal. All of them surely have some elements of Thrash, but overall pure Thrash is more furious and violent. At least in my opinion. Bands I believe playing pure Thrash are e.g. Dark Angel, Kreator, Sepultura, Sodom, Destruction, Demolition Hammer or Exhorder. What do you think about this? Please tell me about your opinions as Im really interested in this.
