Try Exodus and Anthrax. Floatsam and Jetsam and Voivod are great too if you don't mind to slightly step outside of thrash metal.

If you got guts try to enter this contest and you might win the Dave Mustaine new autobiography and imported Endgame CD.

Mike is on the road touring with 'that' band for promoting their latest album. Not a good sign, but it is interesting for DT since people said Mike have too much influence and ego regarding DT musical direction.

Yup. I'm a huge fan. You can't go wrong with Testament. Great band, great music and great legacy. One unfairly underrated bands out there.  The partnership between Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick, while not as flashy as Hammet and Hetfield, Mustaine and ________  (insert names), still stay true to metal roots and philosophy. While Chuck Billy.. What can I can I say.. Never a dull moment. Great live band too.

Check out the first four albums: The Legacy, The New Order, Practice What You Preach and Souls Of Black. Of course, don't forget The Formation Of Damnation.   

While for Heavy Metal, if you graduated with Iron Maiden, then the logic choice is, what else other than the mighty Judas Priest.

i dont understand black, death, doom metal....it's like u just play random notes & scream like maniac...i cant see any music in it...

what is that supposed to meant? Random song title popped out from nowhere.

latest good shit from Megadeth :-

Sudden Death

not familiar with Euro metal band, but Hellowen have some melodic tune combined with metal like Scorpions.

Lagu baru SODOM untuk pendengaran umum
Sebuah lagu dari album baru SODOM yang akan dirilis pada 22/11/2010 nanti telahpun dibuka untuk pendengaran umum bertajuk In War and Pieces (bahasa Inggeris ni seronok buat sebutan yang sama tetapi ejaan yang berlainan - sepatutnya Peace tapi diubah jadi Pieces dan sekaligus menukar terus maksud asal).

Ia boleh didengar secara streaming DI SINI.

Apa pandangan anda?

Komentari saya: Intro yang menarik. Keseluruhan lagu adalah mid-pace. Elemen album Persecution Mania mungkin tidak kedengaran dalam lagu ini tetapi mungkin lebih kepada album Agent Orange. Kenapa compare dengan dua album ini? Kerana itulah yang dirasakan oleh bass/vokal, Tom Angelripper. Struktur simple dan kurang menarik. Ia tidak seperti lagu Under The Weirdcong dalam album M-16 yang begitu bertenaga. Mungkin mereka mengekori album The Final Frotier (IRON MAIDEN) yang mana lagu pertama yang dipersembahkan untuk pendengaran umum sebelum albumnya dirilis ialah El Dorado yang tidak menggambarkan keadaan sebenar keseluruhan album. Apapun, SODOM masih lagi menjadi band Thrash Metal yang konsisten (rasanya European Thrash lagi konsisten dari US).

Shawn Drover maybe not technical and agressive as Nick Menza or Jimmy DeGrasso but he keep the timing well and his playing is close to the original recording without any extra drum fill which is something that Mustaine like.

The Great Southern Brainfart: When I asked Tom Hunting of EXODUS about his drumming technique, he had this to say: "One of the things he learned was that the faster you hit the snare with as much force as possible and the sooner you get out, the more it's gonna resonate. I tried to teach Drover that, but he, you know, he's stuck in his glam metal. [laughs]" Would you care to comment on that?

Drover: [smiles and shakes his head] The thing about Tom is that he has tree trunks for arms. The guy hits with such insane velocity and power that it's just… What can you say? The guy's brutal. He's a huge influence on my playing. When I discovered thrash, EXODUS was right up there with all the bands like METALLICA, SLAYER and ANTHRAX. Right off the bat I was a big fan of Tom's playing. He's a completely original thrash metal drummer. His rolls and the drum fills that he does are amazing, I think. I didn't realize until we toured with them in 2004 how hard he hits the snare. The drum set he's got now is a Yamaha and he's got probably the loudest snare, I would say, in the world. I've never heard a snare that loud where it was like crushing my head. I'm sure he took great joy in hitting a little bit harder just to piss everybody off because his snare sounded so f***ing awesome. Tom's a great drummer, but I do have better hair than he does, so you can tell him that from me!

Very few Black metal bands actually worship Satan, anyway. They use Satan as a symbol, a metaphor against religion. They are anti-religion. They don't believe in a God or a Devil. It's only symbolism. Satanism has two branches. Lavayan Satanism (symbolic, the worship of self. Forms the vast majority of proclaimed [I]Satantists) and Theistic Satanism (The worship of the character Satan as portrayed in Abrahamic texts, accounts for a very small amount) The vast majority of Black Metal fans who call themselves Satanists, I expect fall into the symbolic worshipers.

for me thrash is more difficult.. death metal have melody but thrassh is like cha cha cha cha well.. thrash.. cant understand at all

metal scene is pretty slow now a days ... no new materials coming out ... the latest good album that i am listening to is "as i lay dying - The PowerLess Rise", any good recommendation?

On November 17, 2010, Dave Mustaine has officially announced in the Megadeth Cyber Army Chat Room that Megadeth will soon be recording their 13th album in Vic's Garage (Megadeth's Studio). Dave Mustaine said these words about the new upcoming album; "So, right now I have Ken Eisennagel, you may remember him from the last two records doing engineering for all of the pre-production phases of Megadeth records? Well, he is here [Megadeth’s studio - Vic's Garage] going over all of the new Megadeth stuff that I am working on… believe it or not we have five songs almost finished for the new Megs record already!"[108] The album name and release date is still to be announced.

probably sampai... hope they put more old song on setlist
they got core in it...weird i started listen to them when they still playing punk rox 
If ur listen to The Great Southern Trendkill maybe u'll get where the groove come from... pantera is more on effect i would say..with some melo scale on riff and solo
thats how ppl in 80/90s get in trance with music..+ headbanging..layan 

Currently i'm a fan of OVERKILL 

I think when it comes to writing credits, the fact that someone wrote a solo for a song does not appear to be enough reason to receive a credit for it, there are thousands of examples of how solos have definitely been written by musicians who have received no credits for the writing of the song. But we don't need to look far to see an example of this, pick up any metallica album and you will see most of the songs have no writing credits for Hammett even though we know he wrote the solo... One dude comes up with the song structure, works everything out and says "hey marty, chuck a solo in their approx 32 seconds long"... in that case the guitarist still wrote the solo but doesn't deserve any writing credits for the song. This seems to be the attitude of most bands, unless you think ulrich and hetfield wrote the solo for "One"

I don't think guitarists should receive writing credits for writing solos either. its about the song, if you want recognition for your solo put it in the footnotes. obviously this does not apply to yngwie malmsteen type music.

Because it is Metallica song not Megadeth although Dave Mustaine did play a big part in the creation of that song.
