The Big Four Of Thrash
Jump to: Newest in thread
Metal fans: Cast thy minds back to the glorious days of the early nineties.
There were considered the four big hitters in the thrash metal genre, namely, Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica and Anthrax.
So….all I want you to do is put them in order of greatness. It’s as simple as that 
As a bonus, for anyone correlating with my designated order, I will give you a manly pat on the buttocks as we reminisce about the good old days  |

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest |
Metallica or Megadeth can both occupy 1st or 2nd place depending on my mood! 
Anthrax is a very close 3rd. Both the Belladona and Bush eras have fabulous material.
Slayer dead last. I could never really get into them and found them the least creative of the 4.
A thread with the best album pics of the fab four would be an interesting discussion |

Can I also make an honourable mention of our very own, Venom?
Were they strictly thrash? Well, it’s debatable but they were nonetheless fucking awesome and certainly heavily influenced some of the big four (Slayer especially)
Chronos, Mantas and Abaddon - I salute you good sirs! |

"Alice in chains ?
decent band,
not thrash. not thrashers.
not metal up yer fucken ass thrash Metal ??????
"
Alice In Hell by Annihilator….now that was a thrash album classic (and I’m pleased to say that the band are still going - albeit a shadow of what they were when they initially exploded on the scene)  |

"was just watching new Destruction vid ,nice bit of mad butchrr action 
not big four but soft spot for death angel and love me some nuclear assault "
I loved Nuclear Assault
One got the impression that they never had any false airs about them and they certainly never seemed to take themselves overly seriously - which translated in quite a few ‘fun’ tracks such as, the ‘Mr Softee Theme.’ (‘ICE CREAMMM!) |

Dan Liker wouldn't know a false air if it bit him on the nose

As a guitarist, Megadeth will always occupy top spot for me due to Marty and the dream team era...and the Broderick and Kiko both being insane players
Probably anthrax second then metallica(only bothered about up to and inc puppets). Big Jeff was the only part of Slayer I could get behind.
Turns out I have more of an opinion on that than I thought

"From the Big 4 I’d go
Metallica
Slayer
Anthrax
Megadeth
As the not so big 4 I’d go
Testament
Death Angel
Flotsam and Jetsam
Overkill "
Testament are brilliant!! I'd swap them in for metallica or slayer any day of the week |

Personally:
Metallica; Megadeth; Anthrax; Slayer.
However, in terms of influence in other bands I think it would be:
Metallica; Slayer; Anthrax; Megadeth. |
