Truthfully I've wondered sometimes. What sets thrash apart from more traditional heavy metal? Is it the riffs? The tempo? Guitar and bass tones? Chords and patterns? Palm muting usage? I've heard a good degree of palm muting get used in the more traditional stuff. Sometimes I honestly don't...

Okay I first go into a lot of metal about 3 years ago in 2014. But I did something that's a little wrong in the eyes of myself. That I finally figured out basically yesterday. My buddy at the local guitar repair center said my issue is that when I first started listening to metal, I probably...

Okay well this is kind of a continuation of an old thread in the old school metal discussion. The difference being we're going to modern times and acknowledging everything that's happened in the past 30 years that's happened to metal. Now to acknowledge both sides. Modern Thrash: -Taken a bit...

Well this is something I've thought about for a while. Looked at some sights and even talked with some people who were around when the scene was bright. It's a giant mixed bag. Ranging from mainstream success, the extreme metal blowout, the fact a lot of bands didn't get mainstream success, the...

Recently saw a poster floating along on amazon. Reading out "Megadeth- The world's state-of-the-art speed metal band. Honestly it made me think. Does Dave think of Megadeth as speed metal band? Does his fanbase consider them speed metal over thrash? Honestly it confuses me. Does anyone know?

I've always feel like when it comes to bands, the vocalist tends to get a lot of flak for some reason. I always thought it was because many people said they don't play instruments. Though the vocals are an instrument themselves. It takes a lot of courage to be on a stage with just the mic in...

I can't tell what model it is or which company made it. But it looks a little like an ESP RB-1004, but also a little like an ESP Tom Araya sig bass. Anybody got an idea of what it is?

I listen to a wide variety of music, and rap happens to in the realm of some good music to me. If you listen to rap music, do you have a favorite rapper or favorites?

What I mean is- Is thrash metal relevant here in the 21st century and can anything new really be done with it? I ask myself this because a lot of these neo thrash bands I've listened to, don't seem to be well versed in the originality department. And a lot of their stuff just sounds like...

Bands like Judas priest, iron maiden, diamond head (yes they're still around), Saxon and such. Do mosh pits happen at those concerts often? Should it be accepted among people who like the more traditional stuff?

How do you guys feel about this movement? It's basically like the NWOBHM, but returning to an older style of heavy metal and maybe adding new stuff to it. I guess these guys saw bands trying to bring thrash back and decided they had enough of standing around and wanted to return metal to form...

Anyone have any thoughts on these new wave of thrash metal bands that's been popping up? By definition these guys are: Havok, Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, Warbringer, Violator, Vektor, and the likes. Personally I think some of these guys are good. But they're not really bringing too much...

Post em. Tell me what you think they'd be. I made one about two years ago called Broken Doll. Basically about the idea of becoming less and less human as time goes on. A castaway in Metal is left in the dust Sent through hell and earth and paid back in rust “(Clank, Clank)” So goes the sound...

Do you guys have any preference for one of the other? To me it's something I've thought about all day. And from both scenes I noticed things. NWOBHM 1. Took some influence from punk rock (sounds like around guitars and production) 2. A bit more melodic than thrash 3. Didn't really have a...
