Aw, c'mon... then give us a list where five songs are Metallica songs. It'll be interesting ;-)

I've not listened to much thrash in a long, long time.  I think that I would need a multiple choice list of thrash bands and songs from the 80's and early 90's to choose from.  I don't think that I am capable of making a list.

A song like "Disco's Out, Murder's In" by Suicidal Tendencies could also have made my list.

1. Metallica - Master Of Puppets
2. Slayer - Black Magic
3. Anthrax - A.I.R.
4. Overkill - Fuck You
5. Testament - Over The Wall
6. Megadeth - Holy Wars
7. Metallica - Creeping Death
8. Sacred Reich - Surf Nicaragua
9. Slayer - War Ensemble
10. Metallica - Helpless

Well not the most thrashy song they ever made...but I�ve played the title track from Independent �till my fingers bled. I can highly recommend guitar beginners to start their metal lessons there. Pretty easy song with very few chords but my my is it a catchy mother.

I would have liked to hear what that sounded like. Great song.

1. Forbidden- Rest in Peace /or Twisted into Form
2. Powermad- Brainstorms
3. Sabbat- Advent of Insanity/Do Dark Horses dream of Nightmares
4. Realm- Endless War /or Scream Bloody Murder
5. Kreator- Betrayer/or When the Sun Burns Red
6. Megadeth- Holy Wars/The Punishment Due
7. Flotsam & Jetsam- Mis-guided Fortune /or No Place for Disgrace
8. Overkill- Coma
9. Metallica- Fight Fire with Fire /or Disposable Heroes
10. Metal Church- (My Favorite) Nightmare

Honourable mentions:
11. Reverend-  Wretched Excess
12. Vio-Lence- World within a World
13. Testament- The Haunting
14. Laaz Rockit- Fire in the Hole
15. Anthrax- Spreading the Disease or/Persistance of Time
16. Deathrow- Events in Concealment

I better stop because I could go on . . .

A little after this "Era" of Thrash I started getting into the more "Technical" Type of Thrash
and Progressive Metal.

Any order, but Top 4 will probably be my fave Thrash Bands of all time, while 16's last album
was the one that made me take notice-as every song is astounding (yet almost forgot to add
them ).

Well of course . . .

I have "Deception Ignored" ONLY on LP , and Realm's "Endless War" on LP and the Re-issue CD
that I've waited for 15+ Years for! "Suiciety" (their 2nd), I have the 1st CD pressing and just got
the Re-Issue, for the King Crimson re-make "One more Red Nightmare" as a bonus Track.
There was a very unusual Record Store on Hollywood Blvd. Decades ago that had it on Vinyl, so I
blew that one .

Deception Ignored (Deathrow) needs to be re-issued Whomever did the Sabbat re-issues
for the "Noise Label" needs to get on that (As Deathrow were on Noise as well)!  I could have easily
picked ANY song off that album because theyre all excellent, great Tech-Thrash way ahead of its
time.
(Note: all those Thrash songs on my Lists I have either on LP, CD, or both).

OH MY! !

Oh man its been 2 years at-least! Let me see . . . (looks in my stack here...)
Ha! its our friends at Roadrunner .
If you go here: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/search/?cx=partner-pub-1677157433905721%3Aamgusb-97wk&cof=FORID%3A9&q=re-releases#992
You'll see the other re-issues too! They are all limited to 2000 copies and are Numbered and have
a holographic sticker signifying its part of their series (They need to make a special section so we can
see them).
Man... I hope you knew about the Sabbat re-issues in 2007, that is on (looks in stack again...) . . .
Okay thats curious, the Re-issues are on Noise and Sanctuary:
http://www.myspace.com/sanctuaryrecords
Thats ONLY for "History of a Time to Come" and "Dreamweaver" (Now "Mourning has Broken" is
the toughest to find, I have a copy, but want another to send to Progulus.com).

Ugh . . . Sanctuary got absorbed by Universal but Sanctuary UK seems to be running on a shoe
string (read MYspace site info).

UMUR, if you cant order the Realm stuff I can order it via the Amoeba Music "Super Store" in
Hollywood, just PM me here and we'll sort it out .
