Riley doesn't let Phil finish his sentence

Big 4: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax Big 4 of Bay Area: Exodus, Testament, Vio-Lence, Death Angel Big 4 of German Thrash: Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Tankard Big 4 of New Wave: Havok, Warbringer, Munipcal Waste, Toxic Holocaust Big 4 of Current Thrash: Power Trip, Lost Society, Dust Bolt, Violator

Powertrip, "One of my favorite bands is Sodom." No shit lol. Power Trip is great. I first heard them live and my exact words were, "This sounds like Sodom."

I wish Riley hadn't just butted in and spoken over Phil as much as he did...

No love for Megadeth? Well fuck me... Not sure what to say to that. Kinda stunned...

Old school death metal all the way!

I heard he has been killing it lately.

I grew up on Thrash in the 80's and I love it, but at the same time what I find really limits thrash metal is the fans. Thrash fans want thrash artist to release the same sounding album for 30 years. And Thrash fans don't want their bands to show any signs of maturity, or melody. I think Thrash has the most potential as a genre, but it's the stupid parameters that fans put on the genre that limit it. Master of Puppets will always be one of my favorite albums for it's diversity. You have fast songs, mid temp songs, and slow songs, all on one album. And while I like bands like Destruction to a point, basically I love the first three songs, eventually my eyes start to cross because the entire album is the same tempo, and the same level of aggression all the way through. It just starts to feel all the same. It's like getting hit over the head with a hammer...eventually you just don't feel it anymore. And then Thrash fans will start bitching that Metallica slowed down, and will argue over which albums weren't thrash anymore, and they start saying "Well Overkill, and Destruction, never sold out and stayed thrash. That's true, Overkill and Destruction made the same sounding albums their entire career. I love Overkill too, but honestly it's there first four albums that do it for me. Then you hear thrash bands talking about their new albums and all they do is talk about how the new album is faster, and heavier, because that's all the fans want. I love Slayer but their last album sucked, and fans keep defending it like it's awesome, when the only thing it's got going for it is speed and heaviness. There are hardly any great riffs, or chorus', and without Tom's or Jeff's lyrics the lyrics are down right silly a lot of the times. And Slayer used to be some of the best lyric writers. Thrash bands seem to spend their entire careers competing with their greatest album. I find that doesn't happen with Death Metal, Grindcore, or Classic metal as much.

Vektor, power trip and gatecreeper are probably the best new bands.

The Big 4 are the Big 4 for a reason. Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer are awesome! And left the strongest impact.

rip riley gale

Power Trip is becoming the best metal band of the modern era

well PT dude mentioned some of his influences but in the end he sounds like Jeff Beccera...and it's great

While there is no best sub genre, I can definitely see now that Thrash is very diverse. From Joey Belladonna's ultra clean vocals to Mille Petrozza's screeching shouted vocals, huge amount of diversity. Same goes for the music itself, some bands play really fast and technical, some play slow and heavy. I would say Death Metal is pretty diverse too. From John Tardy's vomiting vocals to early Glen Benton's thrashy yells (I say thrashy yells because he isn't growling much like on later albums) and demon possessed screams, there certainly is diversity. Yeah, I know most Death Metal bands use the Death Growl or Blackened Scream or both, but I don't think clean vocals would work well. Sure, if Slayer covered a Morbid Angel song, I'll be all ears for that.

Yeah powertrip are.really bringin heavy.fast.thrash back better then alot.of other bands.have over.the past 10 years or more

Love that actual guys in thrash keep Metallica and knock off Megadeth. With most thrash fans its the other way around. Mad respect for that. Just because you're super into thrash doesn't mean you have to pretend to hate Metallica

Exodus, Slayer, Demolition Hammer, Sadus and Devastation.

fucking RIP riley

POWER TRIPPPPP

R.I.P. Riley!

Vio-Lence, Sodom, Sepultura, Slayer are the GOATs

Phil obviously annoyed with being interrupted but I get Riley, me and him would never let each other finish a word

You just earn a new subscribe for this video

saw power trip 2 times greta guys. last time with napalm death and shit they had finished vinyl......

RIP Riley :(

Can anyone let me know what band logo that is on Riley’s hat? I recognize it, but not sure from where? Thanks!

RIP

Overkill is the shit too!

check out VEKTOR

Glad someone finally told the truth and said what needed to be said. Megadeath sucks

that fuckin Inquisition sweater

I enjoyed this but when they say thrash has versatile vocalist I gotta say, the big 4 all have clean vocalist who employ a high psuedo scream at a few points. Maybe that's why they're the 4, because they're so mainstream but I gotta say they're ranged vocally.

Sepultura!!!!

Phil looks like, "are you fucking serious bro"

The future of trash metal is right here

I like death metal that has a a strong thrash influence. "Technical brutal wankery" death metal never appealed me in any way. Its not even brutal at all. It literally has no headbanging tempos unlike death-thrash or thrash itself.

check out WARFECT

Someone's high as a kite!

Dudes costume is funny.

THRASH TILL DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck yeah sacrilege and excel fucking rule

THE BIG FOUR ARE EXODUS/OVERKILL/DEATH ANGEL/nucular assault

Sacred Reich lads

Inquisition!

Thrash Metal all the way!

4:06 That's not Baloff!

I can listen to thrash all day But not death and black (although I love them to death)

Exodus, Slayer, Anthrax and Overkill. How the big 4 should of been... just my opinion.

one does not simply knock megadeth from the big 4

Slayer, Metallica, Sodom, and Destruction in that order

Phil barely got a word in for Riley 😂

TWU

I totally agree on taking out Megadeth and replacing them with Exodus.

Megadeth is godlike. Replacing them with Exodus is sacrilege.

Big fan of Power Trip's music. Not a huge fan of Riley though. He never really care much about the local Dallas scene

A thrash discussion without mention of Testament?! Pffft

All new thrash sounds the same to me nowadays, plus it's too gimmicky, comedy bs. I can't agree with him. They're only a few bands in new thrash that actually sound good. Death metal is just so much more brutal on every level. In the end, it's all down to personal preference.

How can a person say that they would knock out Megadeth outta the Big 4?

Take away Megadeth and there IS no thrash. What kind of idea is that?!?

Riley looks tired as fuck.

"thrash is trash." - Goniloc

How the fuck are you going to talk about thrash metal when you leave out testament and death angel, they def don’t fuck with Bay Area thrash

no groove metal is supreme. Period!

Death metal is more brutal than thrash. Black metal is more evil. Doom is heavier. Grindcore is faster. Thrash is the linchpin of metal but is also the most limited in terms of musical freedom.

Crappy bands both

I mean, Death Metal is heavier than Thrash so I really can’t say it’s “supreme”. I like Thrash better than just straight death metal, but any Death Metal with slam elements or thrash elements mixed in just hits the spot for me more than straight thrash.
