The "Big Four" of Thrash

[The Ozzman]

different vocalist.

Irrelevant

 

[AchrisK]

Not irrelevant. Whatever opinion you have of the second Exodus album, it is not the followup to BBB. Fans waiting (forever) for the second Exodus release were presented with what may have been a good album, but was not the same band. Thrash, yes. The same band that put out BBB, no. Obviously it was mostly the same band, but Baloff added a vibe and character to Bonded By Blood that was a huge part of the attraction.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Seriously, while I like Kreator, they are overrated as a thrash band.

Fail.

The Exodus part is right, though.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Testament, I would say on the basis that they've done well critically, and sold a decent amount of albums, and the legendary musicians they've had in their line-up over the years. Gene Hoglan, Paul Bostaph, James Murphy, Steve DiGiorgio, Glen Avelais,(guitar-Forbidden)John Tempesta (ex-Exodus drummer)Dave Lombardo. I can't see any of these guys volunteering, unless it's out of respect for Testament. Sure as hell couldn't have been for just money, that's for sure.

This.

& I keep forgetting Kreator is not American.

 

[just metal]

Anthrax out

I don't know who should replace them, Overkill or Testament or Kreator, I'd say Overkill because they are my favorite thrash metal band.

I think Artillery - By Inheritance is better along with a couple others on the list.

that's not even really a thrash album

and Exodus isn't deserving at all with only 1 quality release(even though it's amazing)

 

[The Ozzman]

Try 3 quality releases

 

[AchrisK]

No mention of Death angel yet. Their timing was close, and their first album was amazing. I was never really attracted to their subsequent albums, tho.

 

[rms]

Try 3 quality releases

im going to be honest and say your opinion isn't really that valid since you wanted Testament in there

 

[The Ozzman]

im going to be honest and say your opinion isn't really that valid since you wanted Testament in there

in where? I voted to put Exodus in the big four.

If we're going to talk about invalid opinions, you listen to Municipal Waste, so any opinion you have on thrash probably sucks

[Caecius]

What is it then?

EDIT: Exodus has 1 great album, and 2 above average albums.

 

[rms]

idk they call it melodic or some bullshit, I know it ain't thrash because Terror Squad is a fucking thrash monster and it's nothing like that album

 

[Caecius]

The band or the Artillery Album? Isn't Terror Squad(Band) Death/Thrash which is why they don't sound the same. But I would have to disagree on you saying Artillery is not a thrash band.

 

[rms]

are you aware Artillery released an album called Terror Squad?

 

[Caecius]

The band or the Artillery Album? Isn't Terror Squad(Band) Death/Thrash which is why they don't sound the same. But I would have to disagree on you saying Artillery is not a thrash band.

So yes.

 

[skeptik]

By Inheritance is a thrash album you stupid fuck, shut the hell up and stop trying to talk about things on which you're clueless.

And for the record, the right fucking answer, and the way it should have been from the beginning, is Anthrax out and Exodus in.

 

[rms]

how can you compare terror squad to by inheritance and consider it a thrash album

 

[skeptik]

I'm putting you on fucking ignore, this is ridiculous already.

 

[rms]

 

[Black Friday]

Sorry but you act really stupid, so I'll put you on ignore as well, rms.
