The only really thrashy metallica is kill 'em all. Do you know anything about thrash ?

 

[Xorv]

This is a "worst guitar solo" thread, so don't fucking debate me or I'll cut you with an obsidian sword.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

The only really thrashy metallica is kill 'em all. Do you know anything about thrash ?

how the hell is "and justice for all" not a thrash album??

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Its not. Thats how. Listen to Destruction albums Mad Butcher/Eternal Devastation. Damn thats good.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

then what the hell do you call it??

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Heavy Metal? the most under used term here

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

interesting

I would still consider songs like dyers eve, shortest straw, harvester of sorrow are pure thrash - but others would be hard to categorize as thrash I suppose

in any case - one of my fave albums

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Dyers eve, yes. Blackened, yes. All the others not thrash.

 

[CF87]

Ride The Lightning,MoP,And Justice For All are mainly middle paced with some epic/melodic parts. I would say kill 'em all is pure thrash. In the realms of thrash metallica most of the time just seems to have some thrashy sections or 1,2 songs on an album that are thrashy. Metallica seems to focus more on heavyness and epic qualities, rythmn wise is more simple also than a lot of thrash classics.

I find that all of those albums are far superior to Kill Em All nonetheless. It's easy to make fun of Metallica for their utterly atrocious career after the 80s, but their first four albums are quite excellent.

well stated - +1

 

[Life Sucks]

Dyers eve, yes. Blackened, yes. All the others not thrash.

How about The Shortest Straw? That's the heaviest song on the album.

 

[Satanstoenail]

How about The Shortest Straw? That's the heaviest song on the album.

I'd say Harvester Of Sorrow would be the heaviest.

BTW, the first Hammet solo in Shortest Straw is one of my faves of his.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

man that riff is so asskicking (harvester of sorrow)

the whole album is so delightfully dark and pissed off

I would have loved to see them make another album like this

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

The shortest straw is my worst song on the album, I dunno I just dont like it. HOS is heavy as though.

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

stop with the slayer hating jeez

they released 5 of the greatest thrash albums ever

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

you find the truth amusing??

 

[Susperia]

This solo in this Upwards of Endtime song is pretty bad.

But god there's so many bad ones, I wouldn't know which to choose! Probably Slayer, but that's so cliche.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I listened to Butchered At Birth for the first time in ages yesterday. The solos on that album are unbelievably shocking.
