I love the bands inspired by the Big Four, but I really don't like the Big Four. I can't explain why. Even though my friends loved them and I played in bands where every musician learned to play because of them, I just couldn't get into them. Just not my cup of tea I guess but side from the solos, all their music just inst that interesting

Megadeth was IT for me. I genuinely like Mustane's lyrics. And something about the whole underdog thing w/ Metallica turned me twords them .They also seemed less polished which appealed to me as well.

The reasons why Metallica got so big without promotion; 1. They did lots of live shows even before their debut came up 2. James Hetfield's vocals were completely a new thing (especially from ride to lightning and on) and were not corny at all. 3. The guys were the first ones to do thrash. 4. They wrote songs that can become rock essentials such as Fade to Black, Welcome to Home and One and put one of each in their early albums.

@@nikola5308 Metallicas Thrashiest album was Kill Em All … no debate. Dave Mustaine in my honest opinion popularized thrash in America… but neither Metallica nor Megadeth made Thrash. I forget who started something that could be considered thrash but Metallica with Dave Mustaine made No life till leather and it’s successor was Kill Em All… Ride The Lightning is like Half Thrash and Half hard rock/ heavy metal since I believe at this time, Metallica as a whole was depressed for having their stuff stolen or something along those lines Master of puppets album is partially thrash but mostly heavy metal: Battery, Leper Messiah, Welcome Home sanitarium and Orion (maybe hard rock for Orion) And justice for all is either Prog Metal or Heavy Metal… but definitely not thrash metal People need to understand that Metallica was considered a thrash band by somewhat of a mistake… they’re mostly a heavy metal band …. But the fact also remains that one of their most popular song is Master of Puppets and so everyone just assumes Metallica is primarily a Thrash Band because of that…. Most of their catalog of the 80s can be considered heavy metal after the Kill Em All album 💿… if you want me to name every song then I’ll do it lol They’re great musicians overall… at least for the 80s and early 90s to me… Death Magnetic and Hardwired where pretty bad overall… they had some good songs but nothing compared to their 80s era …. Now you may say that age has something to do with it but a man called Eminem had 2 incredible comebacks well past his prime of the early 2000s…. 2009/2010 (recovery) & Kamikaze which dropped in 2018 I think Yes it’s a diff genre but any artist can do it… Metallica in the 2000s just started getting lazier… whereas Eminem apparently started getting crazier because he wanted to prove that no one can rhyme like him lol

According to me, As much as it hurts to say this, The band that made thrash metal most popular was the reason for its death - Metallica. In order to make Metal mainstream, Thrash metal had to be the sacrificial lamb and pave way. They had become millionaires after the Justice tour. The album had peaked on #6 despite being progressive and angriest. Without any support from MTV or any music video way back in 1988 (Damn) . The hype was real for their next album and they only reinforced their popularity by making the songs more straight forward. I believe had they made a thrash album it would have been popular and reached #1 but won't have 1/10th the impact the Black album has. The success they got was MJ/Maddona level and that's what it is.

Hi Finn. This thrash episode is my first time experiencing your channel. Had to watch because I was a part of the scene. I began playing guitar in 1982, so I witnessed the birth of thrash. I would play to Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, S.O.D. albums front to back. 1986, my graduation year, I and my brother in metal started the band MANIACAL GENOCIDE. We released 3 demos from 1988 to 1990, got endorsed by VANS shoes and B. C. RICH guitars. Sadly, we never got the opportunity to sign with a label and we disbanded in 1992. For me, thrash never died. I love that it has seen a resurgence. I agree with you on Municipal Waste. Gama Bomb is also a great thrash band. I still play guitar and drums, still in touch with the guys from the band. I am also now, a subscriber of your channel. My name is Scott Jenkins, I live in Central Point, Oregon and I am 53 years old. Metallica made 4 fantastic albums, that's it. I am sure they are now, sucking dick and getting ass-raped by the satanic elites that oversee all industries. You do not get to their status, without paying a price. You do not become supremely wealthy, without paying a price. From Hollywood to sports to modeling to music. You want fame and fortune, you must take part in the rituals. No exceptions. I am glad, the opportunity I sought, never arrived. Later.

I still remember buying my first Metallica album at Music Plus, Master of Puppets. On cassette in the summer of 1986, after I saved up my allowance and recycling aluminum cans for a couple weeks.

I'm old enough to remember when thrash started. My first thrash concert was Megadeth Peace Sells Tour. Heard Metallica in 1984 and the journey began. I remember listening to the Big Four, Testament, Exodus, Death Angel, Dark Angel, Metal Church, Forbidden, Laaz Rocket, Overkill, Sepultura, Suicidal Tendencies, Coroner, Destruction, Kreator, Vio-Lence, Voi Vod...many more that I forgot.

Sepultura ARISE is my favorite metal album of any genre.

Hit the nail on the head my friend. Speaking as a guitarist of 40 years now, the very fact of the genre of rock and metal and every single fucking off-shoot being attributable to one sound, that which is the distorted guitar, never gets mentioned or at the very least never given the spotlight and focus it deserves. Distorted guitar is THE defining sound. Period. End of discussion. Anyone seeking to argue that , is either utterly ignorant, or completely fucking stupid. Another thing I am endlessly tired of and cynical about, is the fucking dumb ass labels that have to be given to anything, or anyone that is talented and skilled enough to produce something "fresh" sounding. Pantera is the prime example. They were just simply fucking good at what they did. They did not require a new definition, new genre, new label slapped on them to make their music real or relevant. They produced great fucking metal. Nothing more has to be said. All you have to do is listen and the music speaks for itself. Groove metal is a meaningless fucking term invented by weak- minded individuals talking out of their ass. Like Pantera was the first metal band to groove? Are you fucking kidding me? You can go all the way back to IRON BUTTERFLY, BLUE CHEER and the godfathers of metal BLACK SABBATH and experience groove. Categories are defined by people that don't play an instrument and do not know what the fuck they are talking about. Cheers brother.

It was Nightmare Logic that convinced me I was wrong about the new wave of Thrash that it wasn’t just an ironic hipster joke at the genre’s expense and I had a lot of catching up to do. Rest In Peace Riley. 🤘🏻 Wonderful video Finn.

I still can’t get over Riley’s death. I was at the last Power Trip show in LA just before the lock down. It was my first PT show, I remember leaving and thinking “I can’t WAIT to see them again! That was incredible!” Few months later, I heard the news of his death…

Very cool to hear you reference Forced Entry. I thought I was the only person who rembered them and still listened occasionally.

I wouldn't exactly call Thrash Metal one of my favorite genres, as I can get burned out on it pretty easily, but I definitely view it as one of the most important if not the most important genre of metal. I feel a lot of the tropes we view as normal today are thanks to Thrash Metal. And along with that, it was able to create a rift in the 80's metal scene that I see as responsible for helping metal to evolve as opposed to sounding like Judas Priest or Quiet Riot all the time.

You should listen to Quiet Riot’s first 2 albums. They had a completely different (and in my opinion) better sound before they went mainstream and lost Randy Rhoades. It’s much more loose and dynamic compared to their newer more raw sound that was developed in their later albums.

DRI will always be a fave for me. I got to fill in on drums for them for a few songs in seattle several years ago. Life changing moment for me when spike said he was relieved that I could play the songs, and he didn't have to give me cues and he could just get into it and not worry(opener's drummer tried to fill in and knew none of the songs and was not good). One of the best days of my life, they even signed my shirt after the show. I played acid rain and beneath the wheel with them. Still got my copy of acid rain on cassette.

My top 3 favorite albums of the genre: Seasons in the Abyss, ...and Justice for All (not the biggest Metallica fan neither, but much respect to this solid album), and Act-III (Death Angel

Finn. Thanks for covering this one. I was hoping you would.

enjoyed this a lot, and not just because I still love thrash! I think your point about dilution of a genre scene (my phrase for your idea) is a really astute observation, and probably widely applicable to a lot of music scenes, especially "sub-genres." Pop-punk comes to mind - like once we reached the point where there were like 20 entire labels that only put out pop punk.... clearly the ship had sailed on that particular sub-genre. anyway, great video and thanks.

BRILLIANT VIDEO! I grew up during the inception and rise of Thrash Metal. I was in High School when Seasons In The Abyss, Extreme Agression, Beneath The Remains, And Justice For All, Rust In Peace....etc.......that time was a phenomenal time for Metal. And......the first era of Death Metal, Swedish Death Metal....etc. Happened right after that crazy Thrash peak!!!!!! Which was equally as awesome!!!!!

@@adammorris1943 that is a great point, they were still huge at the time but thrash had completely lost its roots at that time and it’s hardcore fan base from what I’ve heard was kinda disappointed in what was coming out. I could literally go on about this for hours lol. It seemed like a weird time for rock and metal in general. I think grunge was just more friendly to play on the radio because nu metal was on the rise too, it was absolutely exploding in the late 90s but was insanely aggressive and different for its time. Radio stations are making their money off playing music for the companies paying them to advertise on their station. Grunge still sees huge play on radio stations and I think it just had that mass appeal that was perfect for them. Even Metallica dove into a grungy kind of sound and even experimented with nu metal sounds in st anger, they dove into trying to fit in with what was exploding around them

I’m 40 years old now and I guess one reason why I never thought about thrash metal dying was because really back in the early and mid-90s we didn’t try to put so many different sub genres into Metal. For example when Pantera came out myself and no other metal fans that I knew went out of our way to call Pantera groove metal. To us Pantera was just a newer form of thrash metal that was more street influenced in a little more hard-core. I mean back then The only real sub genres of metal were like the classic metal bands like Black Sabbath, Motörhead, AC/DC, Judas Priest, and Iron maiden. Then you had death metal which was your cannibal corpse, Morbid Angel, obituary, etc. and then I guess Goth metal was just kind of peeking its head with Type O Negative, of course there was the glam/hair metal, And everything else like Pantera, slayer Metallica, Megadeth, Sepultura , overkill etc. I guess would be the bands we considered thrash. Hell it wasn’t until sometime in the 2000s that I heard somebody call Pantera groove metal. And in the south where I spent most of my life where I was raised Marilyn Manson really wasn’t that popular with southern metalheads. The only ones that really listen to him in the metal crowd were girls and even if guys did they were too scared to really admit to anyone that they were a fan of the guy that got up on stage in women’s underwear. And I’m not saying that’s right or wrong I’m just saying that’s how it was back in the 90s. But honestly most people back then before the days of Nu Metal just called metal “metal” . We really weren’t going to divide ourselves up into little groups on who like death metal and who like thrash metal because as long as it was metal we all pretty much loved it. As far as trash dying in 1992 I would probably have to disagree. Now were there new thrash bands coming out after 1992? No not really but I think a shit load of people got into thrash around that time. I’m not saying Metallica’s black album is the best thrash album ever, I mean I like it but it didn’t sound as 80s like other thrash metal bands were doing. And the more important thing that Metallica black album did in the early 90s was it got a shit load of people to get into thrash metal. Metallica’s black album got so many people into older Metallica and then they started picking up other albums by other thrash bands. I mean around 1992 is about the time Megadeth had their best selling album of all times. Countdown to extinction went double platinum around that time. So it’s not like metal fans were throwing away their CDs and saying that it’s over and we’re just going to listen to death metal and Pantera and rage against the machine from here on out. No we kept listening and loving to thrash like we still do today but you embrace the new genres of metal as they come out as well. In the end I don’t think it matters what anyone’s opinion of thrash is but I think we can all agree that besides classic metal, the bands that started it all, thrash is without a doubt the most influential genre of metal. Death, Nu, Groove and alternative metal old were heavily influenced more by thrash than any other type of music.

great video Finn....I'm mostly a death metal and grindcore guy, but thrash was totally my entry point into metal. Your video made me want to go listen to some thrash.

Great video. At some point, it would cool to do a deep dive into all the punk and metal cross-pollinations in the early '80s. I remember "thrash" being used the same as "hardcore" in the '80s, *maybe* with a connotation of faster hardcore bands, which is where the term "thrash metal" came from. I think death metal in the US fizzled out around the same time that thrash metal did, because of a billion clone bands, heavy music going elsewhere in the mainstream, etc. We already had a lot of newer thrash metal bands in the late '90s in Europe...including American ones that few people in the US cared about at the time.

Warrior. Well, maybe not right behind... But anyone who loves metal enough to have multiple bands of different metal sub-genres, and have most of them be near the leading edge of their sub-genre, is worthy of copious amounts of respect. Cannabis Corpse's first 3-4 releases are some of my favorite death metal of all time. Iron Reagan is good, Municipal Waste very good, and he's even recently partnered with someone in a black metal band whose name I can't remember, although I've only heard a couple of the songs a couple times so don't have an informed opinion yet.
