Haha, Ve das... It's a decent album. You should get it burnt of just downloading it. That would still be classified as boycotting metallica. Actually, it's probably spiting them, which is better than boycotting. :D :thumb:

And if you like more than master of puppets and shadows fall, you can join. :thumb:

Actually, i think we should put some guidelines in place to ensure we only get real thrashers. :p

If you haven't heard Dark Angel - Darkness Descends, you can't join :p

Testament
Exodus
forbidden
Overkill
Corrosion Of Conformitty
Darkness Descends
Dark Angel
sepultura with max

sooo can i join??

^ cheers to that. We shouldn't have any phony thashers who've only heard of Metallica and Slayer.

so am i in?

Everyone is joining...

Although, darkness descends is just an album by dark angel :thumb:

its all good

.. oh sorry... by that i mean you can join... sorry. :p

This clan is pure genius.

Why, thankyou :p

So, what the hell do we talk about? What albums are great, thrash gods, anything thrash?

Alright here's a question....

Who do you think is the best drummer in Thrash. I'm gonna say Charlie Benante for best drummer.

^ Hes pretty good.


I'd say Paul Bostaph or Dave Lombardo. Just gotta love double bassing.

Some old Lars Urlich is good, from RTL till ...AJFA.

Dave didn't use the Double Bass in Show No Mercy much. His beats were still kick *** in it though.....it's one of the main reasons I like the CD so much. He just seems to know when and where to put the beats.

As for Ulrich, his drumming is pretty pants in all albums but ...AJFA....he has his moments on One, Blackened and Dyers Eve.

How about best thrash vocalist?

Tom Araya - The Voice of Evil.

that's a tricky one..most Thrash Vocalists are crap :p

Max had a good feel to his voice back in the Morbid Visions - Arise period, Tom Araya had a good voice on Show No Mercy with the Halford screams and I like Joey Belladonna from Anthrax aswell, he can hit the high notes very well.

What are you talking about? Thrash vocals kick ***!

there's a lot of Thrash Vocalists that aren't up to scratch.

Paul Baloff
Dave Mustaine
Chuck Billy

All the earlier influences like Venom (Cronos) and Motorhead (Lemmy) also had crap vocalists. I don't mean their style is crap, I mean they're just crap as far as singing goes. Was kinda meant as a joke......

Anyway! best Bassist now then.....my pick is Dave Ellefson.

Right! That's it!!! Outside! Now! I'm going to have to show you a thing or two!!!

Cronos crap? Lemmy crap???!!!!! Paul Baloff and Chuck Billy crap??!?!!! Are you out of your mind?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am I using too many exclamation marks?! Well yes I am!!! But I don't care!!!! BECAUSE CRONOS IS NOT CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^

Cronis is a preety good vocalists, but Lemmy...i have to aggree, he really has an awful voice, lol. it fits their music, but still....the man really cant sing worth a ****. Chuck , Dave, and Paul i love though :thumb: :) :evil:

Yeah, I think the dude meant in singing ability, but in thrash..you don't need ia great voice too much..look at Tom Araya, possibly the worst voice ever. It **** well matches the brutality of the music though, but listening to him scream in 'Angel of Death' cracks me up. Best bass player? Definitely not Tom either hehe. Ellefson is definitely up there, but there are a couple of people who have him beat.

Well that's my opinion....I love the music and I actually like the vocals. Hmmm I shouldn't have opened my mouth...I basically meant that they fit the style of the music well, but they ain't to great in the vocal department.

Arse! I can't explain myself.

Care to elaborate on the best Bassist then?

wow this thread has turned into the official thrash thread

Best drummers are Dave Lombardo, Gene Hoglan, and if you consider old Mercyful Fate Thrashy, then Kim Ruzz would have to be my favourite thrash drummer.

As for the vocalists, well lmao, not too many thrash vocalists are technically good, but their voices suit the music right to the bone, which was the point i think thrashmaster was making? I've always loved baloffs vocals (screams?). I also enjoy most thrash vocals of the european persuasion. Angelripper, Schiemer, Mille, Warrior, Ron Broder... I love them all :D.

Cronos is god. Criticism isn't allowed.

Best drummer - Bostaph, Hoglan, Benante
Best Vocalist: Neil Turbin, Tom G Warrior
Best Bass Player: I count Sadus as thrash more than death so Steve Digorgio

Now I know someone wants to do best guitarist!

ps it's Mustaine.

Mustain is good, but Tommy Vetterli is God.

Yeah, you got it dead on there. haha I like Baloffs voice.....he puts a lot of passion into it, that's for sure.

Dave Lombardo = :cool:
