@overkillforever1 I don't think its just Fear His name, but also Disposable Heroes (Metallica) and Good Mourning/Black Friday (Megadeth). I hear parts of all 3 songs in the Halo theme.
doesn't the first part of this song sound an awful like the main riff from Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls"? the power chords that are played are the same exact ones that are used in the main riff from For Whom Them Bell Tolls... don't forget that this album (Taking Over) came out a full two years after Ride The Lightning.
@DasWehrmacht666 Songs like this demonstrate a real lack of creativity. Because of this it is no shock that this band is not relevant in modern thrash music. Resorting to personal insults demonstrates a genuine lack of maturity. How old are you, 15?
@r0t0r00t3r Not relevant in modern thrash? Most people consider OverKill the first Thrash band. So you couldn't be any more wrong. Overkill has released good thrash albums their whole career, Metallica stopped after 1988. By the way, I'm 18, and you saying I'm 15, is a personal insult, which demonstrates a genuine lack of maturity. Fucking moron.
@DasWehrmacht666 Your grasp and comprehension of the English language is abominable. The reason for the inquiry relating to your age stemmed only from your adolescent sophomoric use of expletives. Your resplendent inferiority complex precludes me from attempting to engage in a debate of any sort. Does posting comments such as "Metallica is a bunch of fags" help to elevate your self-esteem?
@r0t0r00t3r Hey man, we know you use Microsoft Word and an online thesaurus to say all those big words. You are just a really young boy who has just started to listen to metal. Metallica does not define metal, just because it has metal in its name. You are to young to understand that though. People like you love to say that every band in the world, has ripped off Metallica at some point, I bet if you knew who Mandator was, you'd say they're a rip off too since you are to young to respect music.
@r0t0r00t3r Seems to me like you love fighting with people over the internet, huh tough guy? Try communicating with civility, you might actually enjoy it, rather than arguing like a bunch of kids. By the way, using big words does not make you sound like you know what your talking about, it makes you sound like a douche. Hurl the smart ass remark at me, i wont gratify you with a response.
@DasWehrmacht666 Metallica is not a bunch of fags. They are great band, and Overkill too and there is no reason to compare these two bands, or some other bends. It's stupid! Every of these bands are great on their way, and that's it :)
why does everyone hate on metallica? they set a fucking standard in metal. they can do whatever the fuck they want to do now. they dont owe anyone shit. everyone expects them to produce another goddamn master of puppets, but no one can.
why do people consider metallica metal? they play hard rock. they havent produced a metal album in 20 yrs.theyre last was master of puppets. thats why no one ever mentions any thing after that. its always theyre 1st 3 albums. metallica is not metal so take those imposters off the list.pfft
@qwq45 wow, finally someone posts a comment that actually knows wtf they are talking about!!! you rock dude! idc what anyone else says. metalica became metalijovi after master of puppets...even tho' they will never stop and never quit...
@evilmotherfucker666 totally agree with your sentiments as well, especially that they'll never quit or stop even though theyre not even metal anymore lol.
@Ben0itZ Basically the big 4 of "thrash" were the 4 most popular bands at the time. Very overrated mostly and a wrong list. Metallica's early years, I'll admit were good up until ...And Justice For All. Slayer isn't even in the thrash category. Anthrax is overrated, good but overrated. My big four would be...
Metallica (1983-1988)
Megadeth (1985-1990)
Kreator (1985-Present)
Vio-Lence (1988-1993)
I still respect Kreator. Vio-Lence disbanded a while ago. Metallica and Megadeth suck now.
@MasterchiefThor Ha, knew someone was gonna mention Sodom sooner or later. XD
They're still going strong, still doing their thing. Obviously anyone would prefer their old stuff but at least they didn't take the path of Metallica. Honestly, I think Overkill are a bunch of riff stealers, but it doesn't mean that they're not awesome. I love Overkill.
@Demonman26 gotta disagree. amongst many average thrash fans anthrax and slayer fall into the bottom two of the big four. theres nothing overrated about anthrax the title overrated should go to metallica. i mean master of puppets... best album like so many claim? hell no. theres nothing that isnt thrash about slayer either. kreator is good, but not idk how to put it pure thrash i guess id say. just on count of the types of vocals used. if slayer isnt thrash how is kreator i think. no offense tho
@blindiris22 Slayer was more of speed metal. They were on the very edge of death metal. Kreator is thrash and still is to this day a thrash band. Love Us Or Hate Us, all I have to say. Anthrax doesn't belong in the big four. They're a great band, but not big four material. Razor should have been in the big four, to tell the truth. Metallica is overrated, yes. Most people that think they're Metallica fans don't even know what Kill 'Em All is. I'm just stating my honest opinion, no offense either.
@blindiris22 Exodus should definately be in Big 4. No question about it. They were out before Anthrax, Metallica, and Slayer. Exodus formed in 1980. Overkill formed in 1980. Both of these band's music is better than the Big 4.
@taylerwarren their called the big 4 because they were the ones who got real big doesn't really mean the "first thrash bands".Exodus didnt get faster til 1983 really but Overkill yea needs alot more credit
@speednecromancer666 Exodus didn't get faster until '83? Listen to Death and Domination or Deathrow. And yeah Overkill does need a lot more credit. Exodus could at least take Metallica's place and Overkill take Anthrax
@taylerwarren death and domination is a pretty good song but isn't very fast and deathrow is off the 83 rehearsal.I like exodus alot but ehhh for me Metallica is better. overkill is da shit and so is anthrax!
part of that is youth and that high tremulous voice was the style, but more i believe is thE 25 years 200 dates per year screeching and screaming all the while resting his voice with cigarrettes
well he still can sing that high but blitz (the singer just in cace you didint know) says its uber hard and it hirts a shit load sum times you'll hear him go up into a high piched shreek for a breef second but not often
