O\T Old Timers and Metal Terms

[DarbysDad]

Anyone remember when Anthrax, Mettalica and MegaDeth were "classified" as Speed and NOT Thrash metal? Because Slayer, Exodus and other bands were more Thrash Metal.

Remember - Power Metal? not quite Speed Metal but a little heavier than Maiden and Priest. Kinda like the Exciter clip I just watched and has been posted b4 by someone else.

Don't you just love some of the terms or names given to different types of metal music. What about 'Chugga Metal' or maybe that was a term just the group of people I hung around at that time called it.

CHUGGA, CHUGGA, CHUGGA, CHUGGA

I remember calling Megadeth speed metal rather than thrash. But I'm only 29 I'm no old cunt.

 

[3Storms]

I never really considered Megadeth to be thrash. They didn't quite blend in with the likes of DRI, Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, etc.

 

[Stormwatch]

DRI? They weren't thrash, they were crossover!

 

[3Storms]

Eh........I considered thrash to be essentially crossover music between metal and punk, which is why I don't see Megadeth as being thrash.

 

[MikeyBong]

Sorry, never got into labeling music. To me if it's good, it's good. I could care less what record companies catagorize it as, just to sell more copies. Of course I can hear a difference between different bands, but it's all music to my ears!

I had a poster of Megadeths original lineup that said:
Megadeth-Worlds State of the Art Speed Metal Band

Crossover was a great album

ZZZactly!

...But that's what came from Hardcore Thrash as far as I see it, but there are quite a few Thrash Metal bands today that really don't have anything to do with Punk.

.. but then again, there's so many goddamn sub-genres now I don't know what the Fuck is what.

crossover was a cross between ttrash and hardcore : damn I'm a prick

 

[DarbysDad]

Mikey and Prime are right but daammit I'm old you old mutha fucks

 

[Metal Thrashing Mark]
