MetalTabs.com Forum - 80's Thrash

I've been thinking of getting into some 80's thrash lately. Kind of going back to the roots of metal sort of thing. Any suggestions on some really good bands to check out? I heard some Overkill lastnight and I thought it was really good. Dunno if you guys would classify that as thrash though. Anyway, any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanx in advance,
Blizzard Beast

Well, there's this one thrash band from the 80's who I think is pretty good. They're from California, and I think they're still around now. They had this Italian drummer, pretty good. Now, what the fuck was their name? Hmm, something about killing, I think. Killer? No, uh.... somebody help me out here.

I don't think it was Killer, it was probably Murderer or somethin.

There was the one with the bald jew guitar player too, who the fuck was that?

Murderer doesnt really sound right, but maybe...

Oh, and the one with the bald jew is something like Ebola, I think.

Wasnt there one with a redhaired singer/guitarist and a shitty-ass drummer?

megadeth!!!!!!!!!!! the best there is!!!!

2002-08-06, 20:50

megadeath?
dave mustaine is a faggot
the ONLY reason megadeath is good "AT ALL" is because Marty Friedman joined and he has turned them from fucking gay, to just plain gay.

OpethRules

2002-08-06, 20:54

Metallica's old stuff pre black album was considered thrash.....

um, metallica, megadeth, and slayer's 80's stuff is great!

And u base this biased opinion on what? Cant be based on talent, because they're full of it.

Smleatyaelr

2002-08-06, 21:05

on talent no not entirely
dave mustaine IN MY FUCKING OPIONION sucks aas a vocalist, he sounds like shit
and he has some good riffs, but mostly he ant play guitar that well
marty friedman ihas a fuck load of talent
i dont like nick... not that great
and david, bad vocalist also - and sucks at bass.
remember now, this is MY FUCKING OPIONION, i dont give a fuck what you think

Yes, it did. If you dont like megadeth, u basically dont like thrash, because they're one of the top thrash bands of all time. Your entitled to ur opinion, but in the future, dont start by saying "they suck" and not saying anything else. It's best to back ur opinions with facts, analogies, etc.

AAHHHHHHHHHH MEGADETH IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Kreator is a cool 80s thrash band too, and Anthrax of course.

You fuckers have hijacked this poor mans thread.

Anthrax
Slayer
Exodus

throw a dash of 80s Met in there, add Megadeth's Rust In Peace and you've got all you need.

Lord Arioch

2002-08-07, 00:57

yeah Kreator fucking rules

and check out possessed also

happy trashing:D

Blizzard Beast

2002-08-07, 12:27

Ah I totally forgot about possessed. I will pick up some kreator and exodus. Which albums are the best out of thier career? Also is Saxon any good? Keep'em coming.

Oh and not trying to sound like a cunt but I asked for some 80's thrash bands. I didnt ask for you guys to flame eachother about if Megadeth sux or not. Whether you like it or not; Megadeth have been an influence on the metal we listen to today. If you don't like them then thats fine. Dont listen to them and keep your nasty opinions to yourself. It's ok to state opinions just dont be a cuntface about it.

:vampire:

PS. Is Sodom any good?

Saxon is not 80's thrash per se. Sort of NWOHM stuff.

Sodom is good. Destruction, Anthrax & Kreator are the other big ones from that time.

Might like older Testament as well...

Lord Arioch

2002-08-08, 06:30

for Kreator try the albums Coma of souls a true masterpiece
or Endless pain
Pleasure to kill
Terrible certainty
Extreme aggression
Cause for conflict
Violent revolution

the others aren't really trash

for songs try

Coma of souls
people of the lies
terror zone
hidden dictator
mental slavery
Flag of hate
under the guillotine
living in fear
awakening of the gods
Terrible certainty
servant in heaven king in hell...

Oh and I forgot about Coroner

Mr 666

2002-08-08, 07:05

yeah coroner are fucking fantastic
i only heard them afew weeks ago
what's their best cd?

Blizzard Beast

Oh hell yeah!Never forget F&J,guy.
They are the only one of the bands mentioned on this thred that are still
truley kicking ass.All the others have sold out unfortunately even The Pants
last album was a bit sucky.
Check these albums by F&J;
High;Quatro;Drift;My god (the latest one);Unnatural selection(which i just finished
listening to)

O.K., so thier best stuff wasn't done in the eighties, but they are an original thrash metal band from way back then.Started by jason Newsted if you were wondering.

Anyone mentioned Possessed yet? If only they'd had a half decent drummer....:D

How the fuck could I forget:angry:

EXHORDER

This is the band that influenced Pantera's CFH. People say that Pantera influenced them but even though Pantera's debut was in 1983 and Exhorder's debut was in 1984, Pantera were playing the glammy stuff with the Terry Lawrence guy (I think that was his name but I could be wrong) on vox and Exhorder were playing the southern thrash style that Pantera perfected when Phil joined the band. He was a big fan of Exhorder.

I love ur lists of thrash bands but the thread did say 80s Thrash and I think there is one band alot of you are forgetting DEMOLITION HAMMER!!!:mad:

other then that THRASH RULES!!!!

oh and I also want to say that in Megadeth, Dave wrote most of the songs and worte most of the solos, including Marty's. And if you are so concerned about vocals then maybe u should go listen to some fucking R&B!!
MEGADETH RULES!!! :vampire:
