Best bay area thrash band...

So,alot of good bands came out in the 1980's and these bands are considered to be "Bay Area Thrash Metal Bands".

Some of them always remained in the underground for the most part, like SKITZO and HIRAX, but alot of them had world wide sucess like METALLICA or MEGADETH.

Which of these bands is your favourite Bay Area Thrash Metal Band?

Metallica never was a thrash band to me. Slayer are from L.A. which is not part of the Bay Area is it?

the band who best incarnates this scene was and remains Exodus. these guys had the fucking attitude

It's impossible to pick just one.

yeah
is Possessed considered a Bay Area thrash band? they're better than Exodus imo.

Tough call on Possessed...Exodus is pretty damn good!

Bonded By Blood is really great. but Seven Churches is godly. Exodus and Venom were Possessed's biggest influences in their own terms, it's probably true. the pupill surpassing the master. brilliant

My only complaint about POSSESSED is that they weren't around long enough to leave is a shit load of killer lp's.

But, I guess this is another reason why they kick soo much ass, as every single song Possessed recorded absolutley kills!

Bonded By Blood is a fuckin amazing Exodus lp!

fukk yes.
they at least never disappointed and their legend is only just bigger thanks to it. Metallica could have ended like that. can't believe it's 20 years Cliff's gone btw. I have live bootlegs of the Ride the lightning and Master of puppets tours and it's absolutely awesome, maybe the most intense live stuff I've ever heard. their success/decay just buried the legend and it's long forgotten now, buried under years of lameness. what a waste. not like Possessed. they were ultimate and will remain.

ho, one more thing, Sadus, Testament and Forbidden are totally overrated in my opinion. DFA beats them all

I've never really heard too much Sadus or Forbidden to make a honest opinion about them yet, as for Testament thou, they are fucking killer!

Cliff was the man! I have a Cliff memorial tattoo, the same Misfits skull on my arm, the same place where he had his done.

For sure! But you've gotta pick someone!

POSSESSED! Never can understand why nobody likes Beyond the gates. Its killer!

Who're skitzo? I only know the fucking italian one.

I like "Beyong the gates", it's cool and some riffs are really well done,
bu I prefer "Seven churches"

I don't really see how FORBIDDEN could be over-rated, while many peoples forgot them... They split up about 10 years ago I think...

I never found SADUS to be so popular in the scene,
you might have this feeling now, since Steve Di Giorgio became famous...

TESTAMENT are probably quite popular in the scene because they are still doing albums and tours since the 80s... It helps to grow bigger

In my opinion Death Angel IS kind of over-ratted... I know several albums that are cool or good, but nothing to turn the whole world inside out... Speaking about angels, I really prefer the dark one: DARK ANGEL!!

DARK ANGEL is fucking amazing, but DEATH ANGEL isn't that far behind!

I have the albums and listen to the music, that's enough for me

It seems you listened and even liked the first MACHINE HEAD album... Tiiigiiii!!!

It seems Rob Flynn didn't record any FORBIDDEN album...
Just had a look at BNR Metal...

Metal archives says he was a part of the band from 1985 to 1987,
so it was demos days... Tiiigiii will be able to listen to FORBIDDEN again, pfiew!
