Thrash metal heroes

[Ender Rises]

Who are your thrash metal heroes? Not just bands, but specific people, especially those in more than one band. Why are they your heroes and what do you think of their music?

For me it's gotta be Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, and especially Slayer, for creating the genre in the first place. The best example of the genre has gotta be Pantera, but I realize the majority of the board won't agree. The best part of this band is not Dime, as many people think, but Phil Anselmo, who's voice is simply astounding.

Your turn!

 

[Blinded By Blood]

Kerry King!

 

[Dän]

Kreator

 

[Mort Divine]

Darren Hayes.

 

[Ender Rises]

Reasons why too, guys. Please and thank you.

 

[Mort Divine]

Darren Hayes because he has nothing to do with thrash, and instead makes catchy pop music.

 

[Dän]

What the fuck is the point in posting then

 

[Mort Divine]

I'm tired as fuck and listening to Savage Garden that is why.

In reality, I'll say Holy Terror because Mind Wars is the best thrash metal album ever.

 

[Impudent]

Vindicator!

Local heroes.
