this tune is just begging for a fast thrash metal remix..

woohoo!
got me an ant downvote for thrash metal!
i think he has downvoted every category of my posts.
sweet..i think that completes my collection.
thanks ant!

catchy tune. i think a cover by some speed/thrash metal band would sound totally awesome.

Testament were one of the Big Four of thrash metal, so they were in place there with Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth... I've seen this argued a lot on other metal forums, and those four names always come up as being official.

Kind of like the big four of thrash in Europe goes Kreator, Tankard, Sodom, Destruction

heres one for ya:

If you are into this 80s thrash metal junk, you should watch the "Get Thrashed" documentary. I watched it a couple of weeks ago and it was an awesome trip down memory lane.
Up The Circle Pits!!

Yeah, I hate to say it, but Damn Yankees does not fit the Heavy Metal genre of the 80's. More like Iron Maiden, Dio, Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Priest, Sepultura, etc. Damn Yankes was more pop-rock than metal.

But you could say they were seen as "mainstream heavy metal" at the time, I dont think they are metal at all, but at the time, all sorts of crap were labeled metal.
Sepultura, slayer, early metallica, those are trash metal. Weren't trash metal bands part of the underground scene?


Yeah, you have a point there. I listened to a lot of different genres back then. Everything from Gary Newman to Steely Dan to King Diamond. But now that I think about it, those bands were labeled as "trash, or thrash metal" back in the day.

They used to play thrash metal, but I guess that didn't go too well, so they decided to do this rock/flamenco thing with acoustic guitars.
Which I guess is awesome for us!

I think the judges disliked it because since this is in Germany, he should be singing some thrash metal.

that is NOT thrash metal

An enigmatic front man if ever there was one... I'm not usually into death/thrash metal but he can really sing, and the song had a really strong feel... Nice stuff.

When a mostly-wimpy pop-rock band like Nickelback eulogizes someone from a thrash-metal band in a song ("Side of a Bullet"), you know that the entire musical community recognized what they accomplished. Rest in peace, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott.
