Who is the best Bay Area Thrash band?

[ironmaidenfan09]

Of all the Bay Area thrash bands who do you think is the best? And by best not who WAS the best, who still is the best and had the best career doing what they do THRASH

Mine would be:

1.Slayer
2.Testament
3.Exodus
4.Death Angel
5.Dark Angel
6.Forbidden
7.Vio-Lence

I would probably say Testament is the best true Thrash band, slayer is more speed metal. But they are from the Bay Area so why not include them

And of course Metallica doesn't make the cut since they sold out long ago. And Megadeth just flat out went to shit after Rust In Piece

EXODUS! The best Bay Area thrash band!

 

[thraxx]

Testament by Far!!!!!

 

[MikeyBong]

Gotta go with Testament, but I love Slayer, Megadeth and Death Angel too!

 

[nafnikufesin]

Testament easily

 

[Flavio CotM]

1 Testament
2 Exodus
3 Forbidden

 

[DarbysDad]

Slayer's from LA.

 

[bolivershagnasty]

Testament
Exodus
Forbidden......in no particular order

 

[Col_ossus]

Testament
Exodus
Forbidden......in no particular order

Have to agree with this.

EXODUS! The best Bay Area thrash band!

Exodus is by far the best Bay Area Thrash band for they have stayed around so long playing PURE thrash metal.

 

[Arg_Hamster]

Slayer's from LA.

You reacted too huh?

Testament for me but real guitar can only be Dan Spitz.

 

[thraxx]

Exodus with Zetro 2nd and Death Angel 3rd but currently moving into 2nd because of the line-up changes in Exodus...

 

[naOkO benOire]

I choose Testament

 

[Jockthrax]

Saxon!!!!

 

[TomFromPoland91]

And TestamenT on 2nd...Maybe I'm not fan of their whole work but I've been always saying that "Legacy" is the one of the best thras albums ever. The New Order is fucking classic too...And their last work ("The Gathering" and "Live in London") is so fuckin fuckin fuckin great! I'm waiting for new studio LP...(For Exodus too)

 

[DarbysDad]

You reacted too huh?

Testament for me but real guitar can only be Dan Spitz.

Yeah because Danny's not in any of those bands.

 

[MikeyBong]

Slayer's from LA.

Look at the big brain on DD!

 

[KY_Fried442]

Testament followed closely by Exodus. I never really got into any of the others mentioned except Slayer, who like DD said, are from LA.

 

[Arg_Hamster]

Yeah because Danny's not in any of those bands.

True but he is the real guitar.
