Thrash

[funkster]

Anyone else a fan of good old thrash metal ?

I am off to see Tesatament on the 12 Feb in Liverpool - some 21 years after i saw them open for and blow Anthrax away

Ahh , those were the days 

[Bupie]

Frankly ? No.

As far as I am concerned, apart from Metallica (that I don't like), my experience with trash is limited to DT's Dark Eternal Night (that I moderately like). But I don't imagine myself listening to a complete album of the genre.

BTW, would you classify Motorhead as trash metal ?

Anyone else a fan of good old thrash metal ?

Only as part of a bigger picture. E.g. Nevermore and Scar Symmetry use a lot of thrash, but there's much more going on than just thrash.

I'v heard a lot of good about Testament's latest album, and I'v also listened a bit to it at cd-stores. I have it on the top of my SL. (Here's hoping that Uncle Rocky soon turns up.) Have you delved into it, Funkster ?

Bupsie, you must distinguish between thrash and trash. I know that Frenchies have a debonair attitude towards h's, but in English the h makes a difference. Trash is e.g. Nightwish (just joking  ), and thrash is where they go da-da-da-da-da-da, you know, real fast 

And I'm off to see Opeth on Feb 18 in Malmö. Already got tickets

No. Motorhead are Motorhead.

[PH]

Actually they are Motörhead.

Frankly?

Yes.   

I've got into Heavy Metal the first time i heard The Number Of The Beast from Iron Maiden and with every year that passed by i lengthen the limits.
First Metallica, after that Testament, Megadeth, Onslaught, Sabbat, Nuclear Assault, Anthrax, Flotsam & Jetsam (No Place For Disgrace is a true gem), Death Angel, Exodus and the list goes on i can assure you. 

Picture a guy with blond long curly hair and an earring dressed up with jeans and a leather jacket...that's me.

Oh, he has to be 1.88 mt tall too. 

[PH]

You are Arjen Alex Lucassen?

[maddox]

You are Arjen Alex Lucassen?

No, he's taller than me. Way taller.......

[The Butterfly Man]

My trashbag is full. What about yours?

Ok. I leave now...



Tom

[maddox]

My trashbag is full. What about yours?

Not the bag but the thrash can is full though. 

On topic:

How could i ever forget Metal Church ( with Mike Howe and John Marshall) and Heathen (with Lee Altus)? 
Those bands did rock too i'd say. 

[funkster]

Liking your style Maddox 

I am off to see Testament here in Liverpool next month and it has re-kindled my interest in the bands i loved when metal was all i listened to -

Metal Church - the first 2 albums anyway
Death Angel
Exouds
Celtic Frost
Whiplash
Annihilator
Coroner
Sabbat

Plus the big 4 of course

And some heavy bands that were not thrash

Candlemass
Crimson Glory
Quensryche

Ah - the years 1986-1990 sheer heavy metal heaven 

[Nicky007]

Picture a guy with blond long curly hair and an earring .....

Really, Måd ?

What sort of a job do they let you have ?

First Metallica, after that Testament, Megadeth, Onslaught, Sabbat, Nuclear Assault, Anthrax, Flotsam & Jetsam (No Place For Disgrace is a true gem), Death Angel, Exodus and the list goes on i can assure you. 

Thanks for the tips. I'l specially keep Disgrace in mind (hey guys, no joke intended here) 

And Funkster, thanks for your tips too  

You are Arjen Alex Lucassen?

No, I'm Lucas Arjen Alexson ... or at least I Lucas him

Really, Måd ?

What sort of a job do they let you have ?

Yep, really.

Well, back then i was still at school but had a part time job in a local supermarket.
I still had long hair when i started to work but eventually i had to cut it to regular size.
Not because i had to, but because i wanted to.
I still miss my long hair from time to time though.

Dude that's cool!  I'm a big metal fan, thrash bands like Anthrax, Testament, Xentrix, SOD...
Grindcore/Death metal bands like Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, My Dying Bride...

Get yo' hair'a windmillin'!

[Nicky007]

Grindcore/Death metal bands like Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, My Dying Bride...

OK, OK .....

Sounds like a list of the Seven Curses

But then again he listens to AOR like Chris Cornell and Ten.

I feel a heated discussion comming on!

[PH]

I feel a heated discussion comming on!

Not again please.... PLEASE!

[Nicky007]

Not a metal fan then...?

Take a look at my prog pantheon (listening profile), buddy 

But since I'm Christian, I avoid groups that are outright anti-Christian, and names like Napalm Death don't exactly spur me on ..... Maybe I'm too old to see the joke in such 

I feel a heated discussion coming on!

Nope, as we'v come a major step forward with Paxi: He remembers the names of the artist/group

So next step is drawing parallels between CC/Ten and Frost* ..... Hm ...... feel at loss there 



Nicky.

[Steve Jones]

CC/Ten

Didn't they do "I'm Mandy Fly Me?" 

[Nicky007]

No, they did "Me fly Mandy ?  I'm  " 

Nicky.

Fair enough.
