Protest the Hero

Gotta be honest, as much as I love metal, I've never liked Metallica much at all. Same with Megadeth. Just a lot better thrash out there in my eyes. If I had to choose between the two though I'd easily go with Megadeth, but yeah. I think James Hetfield has a lot to do with it, I don't care for his voice at all.

Protest the Hero

You sir, are awesome. Which album?

Also I've been semi-obsessed with a song by Haste the Day called Resolve:


It's christian metalcore or whatever but the christian part generates way more controversy than it needs to. I don't listen to lyrics so it doesn't matter to me, plus the song is just awesome. One of the best songs I've discovered recently, along with Cutman by Unearth:


Intro is spectacular and is definitely Mega Man inspired, so you can't go wrong lol.

Got some Moonsorrow going on here. The new album is pretty good.

Gotta be honest, as much as I love metal, I've never liked Metallica much at all. Same with Megadeth.

I think a big factor for me is that I grew up on the stuff. It was introduced to me at a very young age and it was the first metal I loved. I didn't even know what "thrash" was when I first got into them, or that there's like thousands of metal bands and hundreds of sub-genres. I agree that there's better thrash out there though, and I rarely listen to them now a days.

Very understandable. Kind of like how I grew up with Faith No More, Queensryche, Guns n' Roses and such myself... can't help but appreciate them here and there, but I don't really find myself going back to them that much thesedays. I think for maybe a lot of people that approach Metallica after hearing a lot of other thrash don't tend to be that impressed like myself, but that's just a guess haha. I mean I did listen to their debut a lot in Jr. High, but that's about the only one I really got into. Overall if you were to make a fanmade compilation of some select tracks though, they definitely have some good stuff across several albums that aren't bad at all. I say the same about Manowar... their albums aren't too consistent but they always have that one insane track or two that stands out a lot.

I'd bump it straight to the top of your list, if I were you. It's quite possibly the greatest hip-hop album of all-time.

I'm a fan of Three 6 Mafia but that's a BIG statement.
