This is well documented and doesn't at all require having lived during that time. Pretty much every Metal fan knows about the rise of Grunge and the fall of Metal in the mainstream at around 1991.

That goes without saying Doden... but since he is from Australia, we don't know what his age is or what he read or didn't read about that period, and since he didn't mention it... I did... plus you be surprise at how some do not even know that general fact on this board about that period...

I just loved Suicidal Tendencies. Mike Muirs "antisingingstyle", and their sense of humour are some of the reasons I just loved that band (and still do).

I know all about the fall of metal and rise of grunge in the 90's, but it was still good to read it again from someone that lived it. I didn't, I was a little kid in the 80s and my Dad listens to 60's pop so I did not really get exposed to it. I was just giving a personal thought on perhaps why some metalheads such as the users on these forums as posed by the original question dislike thrash. My point was really who is still waving the flag for it from its heyday that has not lost a lot of respect from the metal community in the past. So @unfaithfully metalhead I think you misunderstood what I was saying about Thrash losing its edge, I wasn't refering to why the scene declined more why there isn't much admiration left for it in the eyes of some people due to the actions of some of its past rolemodels which now reflect on it.
Also coming from Australia means nothing, we dont produce metal acts but that does not mean we dont listen to it or know about it. I know a fair bit about a lot of overseas underground scenes and tend to pick up bands well before they are known by local metal communities. Australian's as a whole are just generally big fans of either hardcore when it comes to the underground and our biggest regional music scenes, or what we are known for, is country and pub rock with a bit of political hip hop/ska since the 90s. Still metal is picking up here, Metalcore has become incredibly popular due to the love of punk rock but as far as extreme metal goes like Thrash, death metal, black metal... I can understand for looking else where.

Sevendust & Trivium?
... also you need to use periods in your sentences because it's a pain in the ass trying to figure out where your sentences begin and end... Damn i feel old if you were just a little kid in the 80's
but anyways a friend of mine in Australia told me about some Australian metal bands she likes... i forget their names.. next time i'll ask her who they are again... and anyways Australia did come out with two good bands (though very different styles) in the last 30 + years... AC/DC and Destroyer 666...

Only two? My favourite Australian band are a bunch of locals called The Master's Apprentices. Very underrated but Mikael from Opeth loves them and named a song after them so they have got a small ressurgence in popularity in recent times.
Still, depends what you consider good, Wolfmother are an incredible live band, you might have heard a few of their songs as they made
it overseas with a few Led Zepplin style tracks from their debut.
EDIT: This is a good example of the Australian underground, these guys are not big but their sound is unoriginal in that it sounds just like most other underground Australian bands www.myspace.com/witheachhour

My Larpstyle determines my Derpstyle
There were a bunch of great bands in Australia in the late eighties to mid nineties, some of them released albums and some didn't, I've got a bunch of old demos from around then. Here's quick list off the top of my head:
Christbait
Necrotomy
Sanctum
Abremalin (started out as Acheron)
Damaged
Blood Duster
Armoured Angel
Denial
Sadistik Execution
Alchemist (still around amazingly)

Hell Mike

Carcassian
Utopian Blaster
On a thrash note, anyone notice how large portions of Deceased - Fearless Undead Machines has a sizeable classic Voivod feel to it.
