I've nothing against thrash metal, just not on a Sunday morning.

Apologies half hung over!

Not expecting many contributions. Gaaboard is steadily on the decline since it's lofty heights in the '00's!

[Denn Forever]

None of the songs mentioned would be thrash metal I'm thinking of Panthera, Slipknot Rose Tattoo , i.e. songs with the lyrics shouted.

From Wiki

''Thrash metal is an aggressive, fast sub-genre of heavy metal that emerged in the early 1980s, characterized by high-speed, palm-muted guitar riffs, fast drumming with double bass pedal, distorted and complex guitar solos, and a punk-influenced anti-establishment aesthetic. Influenced by both speed metal and hardcore punk, it features themes of warfare, death, and social hypocrisy. The "Big Four"—Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer—are credited with popularizing the genre.''

Look, you believe what you believe it is. As they say - ''Art is subjective''.

I listen to some metal bands for example Slipknot and Lacuna Coil. I wouldn't call myself a heavy metal fan because I don't listen to those classic bands from the 80's. I also like the sub genre of Nu Metal, I will probably go to see System of a Down next year.

[Puckoon]

Zeppelin are just not a metal band. Heavy, Hair, whatever variation you want - they aren't metal
