      In no particular order:

      Testament
      Exodus
      Death Angel
      Metallica (through Puppets)
      Venom and Mercyful Fate (not thrash, but part of that whole 80s underground metal scene that was so vibrant in the SF Bay Area then)

        Sun, July 11, 2004 - 7:25 AM
        I would'nt classify Metallica, Megadeth or Pantera Trash though... More Just heavy Metal... And Venom and Mercyful Fate are like, Old Black Metal. They're all fuckin' awesome though!

          Sun, July 11, 2004 - 7:38 AM
          Megadeth's beginnings were in Thrash.

            Sun, July 11, 2004 - 5:06 PM
            My list is:

            Exodus
            Testament
            Slayer
            Overkill
            Metal Church


            As for the other topic brewing, Metallica and Megadeth started as thrash in the early days. Pantera, though started late, is concidered thrash in many ways.

              I forgot to give honorary mention to Anthrax, Sepultura, Helloween, and Death Angel.

              Any more it varies from day to day. Hence the reason I have a 10 disc cd changer.

                Sun, July 11, 2004 - 11:51 PM
                Yeah, I would definitely consider songs like Fight Fire with Fire, Creeping Death, Battery, and Damage Inc., etc. to be SF thrash. Also Blackened and Dyer's Eve. Early Megadeth, too. What they became later is a different story...

                  Mon, July 12, 2004 - 12:46 AM
                  Definitely Death Angel.

                  I'm always gonna mark out for Metallica - old or new, I'm a fan for life.

                  Megadeth
                  Slayer
                  Exodus
                  Anthrax
                  Vio-lence
                  Mercyful Fate
                  Suicidal Tendencies (punk/thrash - it's still cool)

                  ...and I'm throwing in Motorhead since I'm listening to the new CD right now.

                      That's the beauty of having an opinion, no one can take it from you. If they tell you your wrong about what you think about a certain band, tell them to fuck off.

                      So sit back and enjoy the music!

                      You ain't the only one...

                      Yeah, I was at the shows at the Fillmore in SF when Rob just joined the band (I think it's been about a year now) - I forgot how much I really liked these guys.

                      I guess it's just history from being in the early thrash scene in SF with 'em. METALLICA will always rock!

                        Some of the best pits ever have got to be at Slayer, Exodus, and Suicidal Tendencies shows Oh and and almost forgot King Diamond. These were some of the best thrash shows ever.

    Hello,

    Of course i'm a huge fan of early Megadeth (Peace Sells), early Metallica (and even St. Anger, which I actually think is pretty cool), early Testament, Exodus (Pleasures of the Flesh), early Overkill, Slayer, early Anthrax, Armoured Saint (Raising Fear), Helloween (7 Keys pt 1), etc. Some other favorites are:

    Fates Warning (probably my all-time favorite, from the early speed metal to the moody beauty of Perfect Symmetry and Parallels ... have not had the pleasure of hearing Pleasant Shade of Grey, but damn I want to)

    Omen ( "he feared ... the Axeman!")

    Soilwork (not sure if they're considered speed metal or nu-metal or whatever, but I dig 'em)

    Morbid Angel <smiles widely when he hears them>

    Darkane

    Sepultura (more smiling widely ensues)

    Soulfly

    Fear Factory

    ... that cool thrashy part in Nitzer Ebb's "Godhead"

    ... and a lot of others i've probably forgotten.

    Regards,

    John

      Now, we all know Fate's Warning was not thrash. Although "Anarchy Divine" was fast! "The Spectre Within" Was really HEAVY, and "Awaken the Guardian" was just as heavy as prog has ever gotten... Fates Warning is just not THRASH! Don't get me wrong... I love Fates... but after "No Exit", they emerged themselves in the dark, progressive side of metal.
      Sometimes I wonder what they would sound like if they took a different path!
      I thought I was the only Fates Warning fan left!!!

        Jonny,

        Yes, I adore FW. Have you heard "FWX" yet? Beautiful ... to this day, whenever the clouds hang low and grey, I look outside, feel the coming storm, and think "Damn, I need to play some FW" :-)

        Yes, not thrash, but "No Exit" (named after Sartre's play?) was close -- and fast.

        Regards,

        John, glad to meet another :-)

      oh and I too love Megadeth but I never considered them thrash. In my mind they were always speed metal.

      but we could argue endlessly about our internal terminologies.

      and I forgot to mention suicidal tendencies, duh.

        Fri, December 31, 2004 - 1:28 AM
        S.O.D. has some great stuff. I don't know if you would call them thrash either but they are definately heavy and fast.

        Seen them twice and would love to see anither album from them. But the way they work it won't be till 2010 or so for #3.

        Bad Brains-R.K.L. and Dr. Know are killer also. Man I miss the old days.

          yeah...i think the pre-fabracated shite that is sold at the Hot Topics and Towers is really lame...its supposed to be heavy and aggresive...
          yeah..I saw them on their '99-00 tour..its the one on their Video "Sod the Movie"-the ronnie dobbs entitalitus foundaton..thats really Maritime Hall in SF.
          Then i saw them and Bucks for Chucks-Thrash of the Titans: that was very cool!
  • Re: Favorite Thrash Bands?

    Sat, February 12, 2005 - 8:32 PM
    Mine would have to be (in no particular order):

    Slayer
    Suicidal Tendencies
    Coven (am I the only person who's heard of 'em?)
    Anthrax (before Sounds of White Noise)
    Stormtroopers of Death
    Destruction (mad butcher, mad butcher...)
    Dark Angel
    Death Angel
    Cryptic Slaughter (Punk/Thrash/Hardcore crossover, really good)
    Possessed
    Carnivore
    Celtic Frost (may be Black Metal, but they still thrash, pretty well)
    • Re: Favorite Thrash Bands?

            My answer part 2:

            early Death(I think that in their early days they fit into that proto-death metal category that Sepultura, and even Slayer were a part of as well)

            Shadows Fall - Blending chugging thrash with the harmonization and melodic foundation of Swedish Melodic Death, and a touch of Hardcore energy...

            Carnal Forge - new school swedish thrash

            Raise Hell - Swedish blackened thrash, only good on their first album imo

            and I'm sure theres more, but I'm blanking right now
            • Re: Favorite Thrash Bands?

              Thu, February 17, 2005 - 4:57 PM
              Hmmm..... Carnal Forge, almost forgot about them. Please... Die! was pretty good, Scream Bloody Gore by Death was great as well. I think Death did a Priest cover once, can't rightly remember which album that was on, I just remember they did a decent job.

                Death ALWAYS did a "pretty decent job" on anything the did... I have a particular love for "Zombie Ritual"... that harmonized intro is just BADASS...

                BTW... I have NO hate toward Helloween at all(LOVE em in fact), but whats with inducting them into the thrash hall of fame? Hey, they have always been Classic Metal to me... anyone want to differ on this?

                  Sun, February 20, 2005 - 10:43 AM
                  I haven't really heard enough of Helloween to say if I'm truly a fan or not. I have a Noise Records video called Doomsday News which contains the videos for "Halloween" and another one of their songs, can't remember the name of it right now. They aren't too bad, but they are the only two Helloween songs that I've heard.

                  As far as helloween goes. I think it comes down to what album you listen too that decides what genre of Metal they are.
                  I think Thrash is the closest but it is ultimately left up to the listener.

                  That is how I pick and choose the bands on this tribe.

                  I'm all for people voicing their opinions about this tribe and the bands in it.

      It's great to meet some fellow thrashers! Favourite bands other than the 'big four'- Testament, Voivod, Celtic Frost, Sabbat. Anyone notice how gigs are really tame nowadays? But then maybe we killed off the excitement when the venues started to getting sued. Anyway I ended up listening to Slayer while I was in Iraq. How about Arch Enemy, The Haunted, Strapping Young Lad?

        Welcome back from the sand. We're glad you made it.

        I think Strapping Young Lad is awsome.

        As well as Arch Enemy and The Haunted.

        Have you heard any Senteced, Shadows Fall, or the new Exodus album?

        All great stuff.

          Shadow's Fall are cool. I heard one track from the new Exodus album and it didn't grab me by the balls. What's the actual album like? I've never even heard of Sentenced. Anyone remember the Accused too? I saw a picture of the singer from Lamb of God wearing a t-shirt. I thought I was the only person in the world who knew about them!!

          Yeah, the sand got everywhere, and I mean everywhere.

            Exodus "Tempo of the Damned"

            I recommend that you download or borrow the album. In my opinion, it was the best metal album of 2004. It is a brutal album. Old school Exodus with an updated sound.

            Accused are cool. I have a few tapes of them somewhere.

            Check out Sentenced also. A good band following the thrash roots.

          Anthrax, Testament, Nuclear Assault, early Death Angel circa Act III

          Stretching the definition of thrash, the usual. Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura, early GWAR.

          And when I really need to cheese out, Manowar.

          I'm just returning to metal after spending a few years with the hippies and ravers.

                    Actually I'm having a lot of fun trying to metalize the hippies, a lot of them came from metal roots (actually I have a lot of fun mixing as many scenes as I can, anyone who gets snobby about the other kids can suck my ****). I've started throwing massively mixed parties that run the gamut from traditional ravey stuff to industrial and metallic hybrids, and I've figured out that really rhythmically tight bands like Slayer translate really well into electronic remixes (at 145 bpm, Seasons in the Abyss starts to turn into something that does strange stuff to acidheads). I like my dark and energetic music, and I don't really care how it's made.

                    It's just really hard to keep the gutter punks from slam dancing with the E-tarded psy-trancers.

                        Like, you do realize that this is a THRASH METAL tribe right??? I've been listening to it for almost two decades now, but I'm not too sure that it's really the "in" thing in these first years of the 21st century.

                        It's not as if Anthrax or Sepultura are tearing up the MTV charts or anything (I think, mind you I don't watch MTV so maybe they are finding some kind of mainstream success that I don't know about).

                          I would have to say that Thrash Metal was never truly a "mainstream" genre.

                          Honestly, that's the way I prefer it.

                          But, yes, due to the resurgence of HeadBangers Ball on Mtv there has been more old school Thrash bands releasing new albums.
                          Such as Exodus (2 in two years) and Death Angel to name a couple. Also, Slayer, Overkill, and Testament albums are still doing well.
                          There are also newer bands who have alot of Thrash influences like In Flames, 3 inches of Blood, Nevermore, and Shadows Fall.

                          But the main thing is we love Thrash Metal and aren't shy about showing it. We like the purity and the energy that Thrash gives and will never give up on it.

            Carcass I like Heartwork
            Death Angel - has anyone ever heard what they did as "The Organization"? I saw them live in SF.
            The Testament cd I have been listening to for a couple months now is "The Gathering.
            Anyone remember Nuclear Assault?
            Pantera.
            I have DRI
            Anyone know of Vengeance or Vengeance Rising? They were like a Christian Slayer. I saw them live at a Christian music festival north or Chicago in 1998. Actually pretty fuckin amazing. I used to be into the Christain shit like Stryper, Barren Cross, Bloodgood.........Anyone use to like those?

                      What was that place in like Burlingame or something that closed? I saw the Fixx there. It was a cool place. The only places I know for metal are the Pound SF and some place in Berkeley where Cannibal Corpse played. I've never been to either. I hardly go out anymore. Can't afford shit god damnit!!! I Have seen flyers for shows at a Tower Records in Dublin. I never pay attention to them. Is there anywhere with metal bands in Pleasanton area?

                        The Pound is great I saw Exodus there a couple weeks ago, I've seen alot of metal shows there actually. Only thing is it's in kind of a shitty area and not easy to get to but it's a fun place. The atmosphere reminds me of The Omni and The Stone. Bourbon Street Bar and Grill in Concord has some good metal shows

                          My friend told me he saw Paul Stanley hanging out at the Pound once. At the Stone I use to see the Metallica guys and other famous people. I saw Rob Halford in the Castro once. He was walking with 5 or 6 people and walking towards me. I was standing outside a bar smoking and I kept looking at him thinking he looked really familiar. When he got right in from of me I pointed at him and spontaneously said "OH MY GOD!!! Are you Rob Halford?!!!" He immediately stepped right in front of me with his hand out to shake and said "Yes I am." He is so short. He had on long black shorts and you could see his tattooes on his legs. I love that guy. He's awesome.

                                    All That Remains crushes shadows fall. if you are gonna sing clear vocals, then sing, but dont sound like some blink 182 wanna be while doing it.

                                    Mikal akefeldt from Opeth puts all these poseurs to shame.

I just got a dvd from Netflix of Testament Live In London 2005. I really liked it alot. The two guitarists are really really good!!! They all are but the guitarists really stand out. They are bad as hell!

          You all mentioned all the greats.

          I'm by no means a purest but pretty snotty when it comes to metal.
          Love the old Big four

          Slayer ~(do these guys even know it is thirty years later?
          Anthrax~ (maybe all that armor saint influence didn't pay off but N.F.L. rules.
          Megadeth ~(even dig all the stuff with Marty from Cocaphony(Jason Becker forever)
          Metalica~ (though can'treally stand whatever they call the stuff past justice)

          Love the big underdogs (Bay area metal Rules!)

          Testament ~ The legacy holds on.
          Death Angel ~ Still my favorite thrash band of all time
          Exodus ~ Why you have to be so heavy!

          Love the Fucking thrash devoted~

          Possesed ~shiiit!
          Nuclear Assult ~mother fucking great!
          Overkill ~ man they suck but I love'em
          Helloween ~ iron madien wannabee's, love'em
          Forced Entry ~ Where did these assholes come from?

          and the only metal band I can stand since 1988 is
          Pantera ~Need I say more?....no

              That old Itailian is one of the coolest dudes In metal.

              for that matter, back in the early thrash days who didn't own Holy diver?
              Priest~ Screaming for Vengence?
              Y&T~ Black Tiger?
              Iron Maiden ~ Number of the beast?
              hell.... I even had Scorpion albums my girlfriend and I used to fuck too.
