During the 80's there were four huge thrash bands. Those bands were: Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer. Tell me wich one is your favorite!!!! I personally like Slayer the best.
Kinda hard choice between megadeth and anthrax but went with anthrax just because overall I enjoy them more even though scott ian is a bit of a sellout
The main ones I listen to are Metallica and Slayer. I listen to some Megadeth too, and a song or two by Anthrax. I really like Slayer, Metallica can get a bit repetitive... imo first- Slayer/Metallica third- Megadeth last- Anthrax
I listen to more metallica than anything. I only know a couple songs by megadeath, but they are still good. Voted metallica.
Listening to Metallica since I'm 10 Voted for. I like Slayer. And Anthrax...And Megadeth... The thing is that they are good all four. But people's votes will still go to their favourite band.
This isn't about Testament, it's about the four bands mentioned above and ONLY those bands. Wow, alot of people are going for Metallica. I voted for Slayer, although I love all these bands, but Kerry King's riffs are just so badass =D.
Lol. If you want to talk thrash metal, you should have Testament up there. "Big Four" is just a keyword for inflated publicity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venom_(band) Yes because besides the fact that Testament's The Legacy came one year after Reign in Blood, and Killing is my Business, the four bands in your thread singlehandedly "started" the genre. my mistake.
