Definitely Metallica, and they are by far the best with the best riffs, instrumentals, and sick vocals by James Hetfield.
The band "Scatterbrain" was formed in 1989. The thrash-metal band continued performing up until 1995. Their most famous song was "Don't Call Me Dude".
Metallica or Iron Maiden.
No one band created the genre. Overkill was the first band to form in 1980. Don't mistake this with Metallica who formed in 1981. Overkill was formed in 1980 and played mostly covers of punk bands but never got a contract with a record company to release anything until 1985. Although they had written songs, their first demo wasn't released until 1983. The first thrash metal song ever written was "Unlea-------------------------- ^^^^ Forget what that guy was saying, Anvil was the first, they basicaly plain and simply invented thrash, formed in 1978 first album in 81, still going strong. Well actually Venom was formed in 1978 although the first members did not last long, they released welcome to hell in 1981 and black metal 82 who inspired band like slayer megadeth and metalilica who said in interviews and stuff that venon inspired them by the speed BONUS FACT venom also inspired early death metal and black metal Chuck Shouldiner (RIP) who is called the father of death metal said that venom started death metal not his band death
Probably Children of Bodom. They are the most well known.
SLAYER are definitely the best thrash metal band!!! also early metallica stuff is great, especially kill em all!!!the big four of thrash is considered to bemetallicamegadethslayerand anthraxI myself think they are all good. slayer is probably my favorite out of them and then megadeth anthrax and last metallica each band is great in their own metal way! anthrax is horribly underated sadly and metallica lost their heaviness in the 90s, but megadeth and slayer newest albums ( world painted blood and endgame ) stick true to their old stuff for the most part. to start yourself with thrash you should probably get albums like master of puppets, rust in peace, reign in blood and maybe among the living sorry im ranting but i could just talk about metal forever oh well. try sodom too great German band! Also try Death Angel cool filipino band play great live.
The lines can be a bit vague at time. Death Metal was derived from Thrash - it basically took Thrash, and stripped it down even further to its most basic elements. Early Death Metal bands (Possessed, Incubus - the band now known as Opprobrium, pre-Arise era Sepultura, Graf Spee, etc.) were still Thrash bands at their core. In the 1990s, Death Metal sought to further the gap between Thrash bands and themselves, and turned to Hardcore Punk and its derivatives (Powerviolence, Crust Punk, Grindcore, etc.) for influence - this is especially apparent with bands such as Cannibal Corpse, later Morbid Angel albums, Deicide, etc. Thus, your more modern Death Metal bands tend to be quite distinguishable from Thrash bands, whereas earlier Death Metal bands drew a much finer line.
No, Avenged Sevenfold is by no means what most metal enthusiasts would consider "heavy metal". Personally they're more of a mix between nu-metal and thrash to me. A7X can't hold a candle to true heavy metal bands like Behemoth, Nile, Vader, and Slayer, though.
yes There are approximately 27 metal bands with the name Armageddon or some alternative spelling of same. However none of them are really famous... there're rarely more than two or three bands with the same name if one is famous. There was also a 60s psychedelic band called Nirvana. Guess which band is more famous. Fest (of "1234" fame) was also the lead singer of Placebo. (She probably hasn't met Brian Molko yet.) At least 10 bands are called Incubus, most of which are thrash metal. There is a famous exception.
That is an opinion question, so it can't be answered, however, the most popular ones are The Big Four: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, and I'd say that's their order of popularity, too.
the most famous band to me was GUNS N ROSES!!!!!!!!!
It's impossible to tell. But I'm guessing it's a classic metal band like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth or Judas Priest etc.
Metallica is the most succsesful thrash metal band of all times.They have sold over 100 million records worldwide and their selftitled album Metallica is the best selled metall album ever. Hope i helped you
