Best speed/thrash metal band?

Matheusbassist- its obvious from your posts you dont have much of a clue about metal, or you are somewhat new to the genre. Youve come to the right forum, im sure you will learn alot and expand your metal horizons.
 
I know somethings about metal, though I do admit, I am fairly new to the genre (been listening for about two years). I don't really pay much attention to the newest bands and stuff, I just listen to it and have fun.

But, ya, I do have more to learn. You're right. :erk:

then you should go listen to slayer again.

that's not to say those bands weren't hugely influential or more "death metal" than slayer
I listen to plenty of Slayer & I can definitly hear where they could have some influence on death metal. What I meant to say was that they werent death metal themselves but they did influence some of the bands that would help to create the genre.
