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
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 ?

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 ;D ), 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 *horns*

No. Motorhead are Motorhead.
Actually they are Motörhead. ;D

Yes. *horns* ;D
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. ;D
You are Arjen Alex Lucassen?

Not the bag but the thrash can is full though. :-\ :P
On topic:
How could i ever forget Metal Church ( with Mike Howe and John Marshall) and Heathen (with Lee Altus)? :o
Those bands did rock too i'd say. *horns*
Liking your style Maddox *horns*
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 8)

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'! ;D

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 :-\

Nope, as we'v come a major step forward with Paxi: He remembers the names of the artist/group *horns*
So next step is drawing parallels between CC/Ten and Frost* ..... Hm ...... feel at loss there :-X
;D
Nicky.
No, they did "Me fly Mandy ? I'm :-* " ;D

Pestilence
Athiest
Not exactly nice summer weather mood music but there you go ;)

Indeed!
I have their latest album (Exhibit B: The Human Condition) and it is truly a good piece of Thrash metal. Good album!
QuoteHeathen
Their latest album (now I'm having a Deja-vu, since I seem to remember that I have said this before :-\) The Evolution Of Chaos goes further where Victims Of Deception ended.
Also a good release. *horns*
QuoteMorbid angel
Not really my thing.
Never really 'understood' MA. :-\
QuoteTestament
Oh yeah!!! *horns*
Don't have their last three albums but the 'old' Testamant (Practice what You Preache, Souls Of Black for instance) are awesome.
QuoteSabbat
Hmm, only have one album of them (Dreamweaver) and it's good. Not extraordinary but good nonetheless.
Can't really say anything about the last two.
I know Pestilence is Dutch but from what I've heard it's not really my cup of Thrash. ;)
Lately I've been listening to Megadeth latest effort Endgame a lot.
Truly a good piece of metal! *horns*
