Uhhh yeah...Do you actually know anything on the subject?
Thrash was born out of bands basically playing covers of bands like maiden, priest, sabbath etc... and also covers from punk bands and they justended up fusing the musicianship of nwobhm bands with the sppeed and attitude of punk bands.
Metallica is widely considered to be the first true thrash band, despite bands like venom and tank who had thrash elements to their music. Exodus formed shortly after up in SF and slayer soon followed in huntington park.
Yes, but the true definition of what thrash metal is wasn't formed when they were doing covers, was it? Because thrash metal wasn't born from covers.
Thrash metal was born when the people who aspired to do something different started recording their own songs in their own styles. Hence their albums, aka what Cine was referring to.
You're the only one saying it, so what does that tell us?
We've talked about Slayer.
That's it. Again: What do you base the previous "Just because I have forgotten more about metal music/bands than you will ever know is no reason to embarrass yourself like that." on?
....on their albums. With their own songs. Which is, as I just said, when true thrash metal was born. It wasn't "born" until then, it may have been conceived, but not "born" because it wasn't an independant genre or sound yet.
No, it tells us that you're dumb enough to say it, despite saying I am. Moving on...
Yes, so why does that show that: "Just because I have forgotten more about metal music/bands than you will ever know is no reason to embarrass yourself like that." What are you basing that on? Let's see:
I'm still waiting for your reasoning behind claiming that you know more bands than I do, despite us only ever discussing one band and one "genre".
Here's what you said: "Just because I have forgotten more about metal music/bands than you will ever know is no reason to embarrass yourself like that."
How could you possibly believe you are aware of the extent of my knowledge considering the one subject overall that we've discussed?
Metallica started in 1981 and recorded various covers and demos of original meterial. Their first live show was on march 27, 1982. They played 6 songs, 3 originals and 3 covers. Their first album wouldn'r be released for another full year
Exactly. Which songs were the thrash metal ones? The original ones, weren't they? Wanna tell the audience what songs they play? Originals? I'm sure we both know.
Better yet? What was the first ORIGINAL song Metallica ever wrote and recorded? Hit the Lights? Yes.
Where did that end up? Oh yeah, on Kill 'Em All. Their debut ALBUM.
No it tells us you're too stupid to realize that it sums up your posts and your
"elite" attitude perfectly. Moving on.....
The posts speak for themselves. I'm posting about the history of the genre, what happened in the early 80's and how it all started. You're posting what you [b]think had to happen.
Because you have yet to post anything that would let anyone know you have any knowledge greater than what you read on the internet. I am still waiting for YOU to display said knowledge rather than resort to your tried and true tactic of changing the aargument.
The issue was that stupid internet slang line that you associated with me. You're the only one saying it.
Considering we're about to see me prove you blindingly wrong, when you reply to my other post, you're wrong there also.
How does this show that you know more bands than me though? It doesn't.
Why would I start showing off knowledge of all the bands I know in a thread discussing Slayer and thrash metal? That's what idiots do. Me? I like to stay on topic.
If you'd like to believe I read what I know on the net, to make yourself feel better, go for it. You're wrong and you've been "spanked."
Next time, reply all at once, let's not have two different discussions in one thread.
Good lord, you really are clueless. It's ok, I understand. Ok, do you even know what their setlist was? Do you know how similar in style hit the lights is to a song called "set the stage alight" by a band called weapon? Seriously, download it if you can find it. Hit the lights can damn near be called a cover of that song, and hit the lights is considered to be the first "true thrash" song, so with them being almost identical, what does THAT tell us?
