Gee, I wonder what the top 4 will be.
+Alex Ritter LOL xD
ikr as soon as I got to #5 I called top 4 in order was hoping they would not be so predictable and Cliché in this top 10 but meh
+Alex Ritter obviously the big 4
This

Not
A
Top
10
List
Idiot
TripeX Foxshield No, I'm pretty sure this is a top 10 list.
Songs:
Death Angel: Thrown to the Wolves
Sodom: The Vice of KIlling
Overkill: Necroshine
Kreator: Enemy of God
Testament: Into the Pit
Exodus: Strike of the Beast
Anthrax: I Am The Law
Megadeth: Peace Sells
Slayer: Hell Awaits
Metallica: Battery
I really like thrash.
I'm pretty sure the Slayer song was Die by the Sword
+Some Guy No, he was correct.
Oh yeah my bad
yeah i would also like to know that
Larry Ebensteiner thanks man. aprisiate
Great, when I saw the title, I immediately knew that the big 4 is going to be in top 4
They dont have that title in vain
How did you know?
Well that is some reason they are called the Big 4🤷🏻♂️😅
Tittle
Check out this new band - ruclips.net/video/X_-_CFcw07Y/видео.html
Hmm the Kirk Hammett in exodus looks like the one in Metallica
That Exodus footage was from 1985 and Kirk left Exodus in 1983 I think that guitarist was Gary Holt
I know, maybe he is? Just a slim chance
@@arvindshastry1178 r/whooosh
@@daytimelantern6570 no
The Cliff Burton in Death Angel looks like the Metallica one
Slayer at #2.
Some men just want to watch the world burn...
You're my new favorite person
Yeah I know. I paused the vid when I saw that. Fuck this bullshit. Hey, at least it contains Slayer. I have seen Lowdwire vids that don't so there's that
Neigh Slayer, And we will, very soon. Personally, it's not enough for me to watch. I will join the U.S infantry straight out of College and take part of the action!😆
Mohammad Hamza Ahmad I love Overkill more than Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, or Metallica, and Overkill always delivers!
If it wasn't for Lombardo we would never see Slayer in this list, let alone in #2. He should have joined Metallica when they considered kicking Lars, they would've become the best thrash band ever instead of selling out.
I remember when Metallica used to be Thrash Metal.
I wonder if you listened to Death Magnetic or Hardwired
Exactly!!!!!
@@thegravemind6143 Right!!🤘🏼
Listen to spit out the bone and fuel you uncultured swine
They went back to thrash on last 2 albums
Sepultura and annihilator should be on here
Sepultura Is more Nu metal

Yeah but it's just not thrash anymore.
@@arttusairiala385 I'm not a Metallica fan but the ''anymore'' doesn't make it unable to be in the list. In 1996, Slayer weren't Thrash, but I'm pretty sure that if a list like that would have been made back in the day, Slayer would be in.
Sorry for the horrible grammar.
@@arttusairiala385 kill em all which is Metallica's debut album popularized thrash
Mettalica isn't Good

people are fighting which is the best thrash band while I'm just thinking: "damn! Marty Friedman has got such a big hair!"
Me too
I love Marty.
who didn't in megadeth in the 90s to be fair

why no fucking sepultura on here? These guys were hugely influencial.
True af, but they were a lot of styles, like Pantera and lamb of god.
ofir's channel but they were mostly thrash until like 1996, at which point thrash had already seen its glory years imo.
DeliciousDishes WHERE IS SEPULTURA????????? WHAT IS THE REASON?????
I agree. Way better than Death Angel.
+DeliciousDishes
You're right, but you know that groove metal = neo-thrash metal (slower and later times than thrash metal)? And they also are thrash metal just in a half way between thrash and death metal.

Agreed
Influential, actually.
And best selling.
Here, I can agree.
all these metal elitists in the comments are just fucking toxic. It seems like only their opinion matters.
They are the shame of our community.
BreyKouille La couille i agree
They can fuck off to mars with their “Metallica sucks they’re not the same” crybaby bullshit with them too. They’re my favorite thrash band of the 80’s. Ya they are SO?!?! Metal elitists are the posers themselves for not shutting up and just enjoying the damn great music these bands and METALLICA laid down!
It's a shame really, hating on another band is such a waste because it makes you can't enjoy some really good works that band produced.

your top 2 are the truth. Annihilator are a beast. Their first 2 or 3 albums are killer. Jeff Waters home town of Ottawa is my home town and have listened to them for 30 years. Alice in hell baby.
Megadeth for life
Suicidal tendencies
@@brianforgie5515 But their first 2 or 3 albums are the only ones that are good :)
Its funny how they forget that it is the Loudwired list, not yours, so if they think metallica is better than slayer, they will put metallica in a higher ground than slayer. So chill guys
Everyone knows who won 2 grammy award
They put Metallica first, cause they're the gods of thrash, they started the big 4 evolution.
Well this is also a 10 greatest not top 10
@@JacksonRiddle90 well you know, the top 10 would probably put them #1 also.
Iron Metallica is better but slayer is more thrash
But Slayer didn't release Load or Reload therefore they should be first. All their music is thrash.
Yeah, but all their music sound the same, they never experimented unlike Metallica or Megadeth. I think Slayer's stuff get pretty boring after a while.
+Stu Wilkes
Definitely truth.
+SigmaTV
I couldn't agree with your comment in any way. Slayer has great, catchy and virtuous songs with a certain amount of diversity as well as all bands inevitably are a bit limited. And you're wrong, Slayer experimented with different levels of influence of punk to thrash metal (thrash metal is already influenced by punk since the beginnings of proto-thrash metal in the beginning of '0). Megadeth experimented also a bit with thrash metal (in the other way). Metallica initially experimented (for exemple more and more melodic thrash metal), but their later music sucks because it isn't experimentation but inconsistent shit by trying to be mid-stream and to compose non-metal music which caused that they lost their own unique style and most of their old fanbase and they didn't get substitute fanbase of non-metal music. But I like for exemple their older album Ride The Lightning.
+Stu Wilkes but Metallica didn't release god hates us all, x illusion, world painted blood or repentless, which puts them ahead of slayer by default.
+jostopholees
World Painted Blood is nice album (especially songs: Beauty Through Order, Playing With Dolls, World Painted Blood). + song Disciple from God Hates Us All.
I understand the “big 4” name was given mainly from record sales, but I always thought Anthrax didn’t belong. I like Anthrax. But they are some thrash, some punk, some hard rock, some alt rock. They have some thrashers, for sure, but not the level of Slayer, 80’s Metallica, testament, overkill, etc. so I don’t like the title. I just like them for what they are. It should be the “Big 6” thrash bands: Slayer, Metallica (‘83-‘89), Megadeth, Testament, Overkill, Exodus.
Rock on
Yeah, Anthrax kinda is like the third wheel but the big four without Anthrax would look kinda naked :/
What about Sodom and Kreator?
More like crossover
It's funny through the years when every guy starts talking some serious shit about Metallica he have to say something like "Metallica 1983-1989 of course"
I deeply hate anthrax🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Glad Testament is getting love. They were the group that got me into metal when I was a kid.
Glad to see Overkill, Kreator and Sodom got mentions and some love here. By far the three most under rated bands in Metal.
Megadeth is better than slayer
+dvon1097 Sorry, but no one's better than Lombardo :/
In what universe?
Never Hahaha
Said no one
megadeth is the greatest band ever.
As a Canadian i grew up listening to a handful of great Canadian thrash metal bands such as - Voivod - RaZoR - Sacrifice - Anvil - Exciter.
Exodus is seriously underrated. They should be in the big 4.
Then it would be the big 5
@SpookyDog916
Exactly. They shoulda been in the Big 4 instead of Anthrax if you ask me lol
@@CobaltLancer
Agreed tbh

Who's 4 and 5? Anthrax? Exodus?
Slayer?
Where's SEPULTURA - "Arise" ???
IMHO, one of the greatest thrash songs EVER!
*albums
Honorable mentions: Havok, Destruction. Pantera and Sepultura.
Pantera is not Thrash
They're Groove Metal
Felipe Moreira cowboys from hell is thrash metal and grooves come from thrash?
And Metallica now is? :P
Phyton 87 Cowboys From Hell is definitely NOT thrash. The style "groove metal" was created for Pantera because it was post-thrash and their own unique sound.
*SEPULTURA IS THE BEST OF THRASH METAL*
4 thrash metal albums they turned into groove/thrash and death metal later
Nick Wick they are still better then Overrated Overkill
Death Sucks Overkill is too repetitive. All of their albums have the same shitty vocals along with the high pitch treble and trigger happy drums
Yeeeeaaahhh FUCKING SEPULTURA
I saw Slayer, the original Slayer at quest field in Seattle, it was absolutely powerful and energetic, this time I was sober so could hang in the mosh pit but it was brutal down there, I remember Tom Araya stopped playing and then the band stopped and Tom was trying to listen to the people smashed against the fence and I could hear tons of people begging for water and Tom went backstage and grabbed coolers and started throwing water bottles out into the front of the mosh, people were literally dehydrated down there, I was probably 20 feet away from the fence, wanted to get up there but couldn't make it through the crowd.
I would switch slayer with metallica
+Zadkiel Fontecha Read the tittle, see the word top? NOPE
I would say there is no way in hell u just sad that
Megadeth easily beats slayer any day
In my opinion
I agree, Slayer is like 3 different genres.
Well I guess here, it is pretty subjective. I personally am a huge Slayer fan, never listened to Megadeth. When it comes to the big four, you can't say any is better than the other because it is your opinion. Then again, you can't have all 4 on number one. Or can you?
at least megadeth has more than two good albums
Megadeth beats them all
Greatest is SLAYER
used to watch this list all the time back in 2018 and it gives me nostalgia now for some reason
Where the hell is Destruction! Where is Tankard! What about Annihilator? Venom, anyone?
DarkHawk 317 venom is nowhere a good band to be in a top 10
Those bands don't have as big a fan base as the bands mentioned in the video. Although they may have had somewhat of an influence to the bands in the video but their music isn't really that popular nowadays. Sorry.
That's disappointing because Destruction deserves popularity and acknowledgement they're an extremely good band.
Yeah dude i reckon venom is more black metal tbh
DarkHawk 317 Venom isnt thrash
What I like about Metallica & Megadeth is that you can actually understand what they're saying. Unlike these other bands
Metallica's And Justice For All And Slayer's Seasons In The Abyss got me into Metal/Rock Music. Long live Rock/Metal 🎸🤘

I can understand Deth before Metallica, but there's no way Anthrax is that high
megadeth is the best technically and musically out of all of them. world class musicians in almost all of their eras. Dave, JR, Poland, Gar, Nick, Marty, Brordrick, and kiko. Peace sells, SFSGSW, Countdown, Youthanaisa, Rust in peace and killing is my business has some of the most furious, masterfully crafted metal music in creation. 80s megadeth would literally rip metallica to sherds these guys were no joke and no pretend image! They were the real the deal. There is a reason why lots of people were afraid of megadeth.
Nothing against Megadeth, but Sepultura destroys them (talking old school Cavalera brother days btw, not the new garbage).
Megadeth should always be higher than Metallica. Not saying their bad just not compared to Megadeth. I mean cmon
Metallica was more influential
+ofir's channel and didn't release "Th1rt3en" or "Super Collider"
+The Five Magics But did release Load, Reload, St. Anger and Lulu...
Megadeth is GOD ! 😜
+The Five Magics "Th1rt3en" is not so bad compared to "The System Has Failed" or "Risk"
3:13 Someone: which Slayer song is this
Me: yes
Chop Suey!
Anthrax is underrated as hell. Every album with Joey on vocals is excellent and they are the best out of the big 4 today.
I do think anthrax is very underrated but nothing can compare 80’s Metallica or legit any Megadeth album
I do think they are better than slayer though
They and slayer are overrated. Well,it' s just my opinion.
@@msu-bd8od overrated?! dude are you a poser or came from some reddit post shit, metallica is what u call overrated, slayer isnt anything near overrated
@tommygallagher2542 Among the Living is on par. Also, as of today, there last 2 are better than Metallica that's for sure.😊
Metallica Is My Favorite Band But #1 Should've Gone To Slayer
metallica better than Slayer?... i call bullshit...
Slayer's solos and bass are meh compared to Metallica, which also was a bigger influence on metal.
slayer is more thrash but metallica is better as a band
+Case 1320 I like Metallica better as a band, but Slayer is probably better and more consistently great.
+Case 1320 Slayer is pretty fucking horrible
This isn't "Top 10." It's "10 Greatest"
So pretty much all the bands mentioned is equally good. Maybe some.
Where's Pearl Jam??!¡.!?!? XD
Pearl Jam?? Ever heard about Smash Mouth?
Pearl jam is not thrash
One year ago I discovered thrash metal for myself, thanks to this video \m/

+Aaron Devoy This is the only right list ive seen.

YEAH!!!!!!
(Slayer's songs are fast, aggresive, smashing, virtuous and created by Hanneman's creative geniality. They, in contrast with Metallica, fully use the potential of combination of two electric guitars and drums (bass guitar is rarely audiable). And they have their own style.)
+Daniel Bříza FUCKIN TRASH BROOO
+Hank ahah
couldn't agree with u more. slayer is easily the best metal band out there. Not just the best thrash band.
I went to Clayton Valley high school with Mark from Death Angel and rented a room from Paul from Exodus off of Monument Blvd in Concord CA. Good times! RIP Paul Baloff 1960-2002.

Yeah,fuck this top!
Definitely Death Angel! Those guys never got their due. Simply fantastic
Metallica is my favorite band, but Metallica is no longer a thrash metal band since the And Justice For All album. '-'

hahah you told me one great joke ;)
i agree
+Macedonian_GM3 No its not a joke:D its my opinion...
I guessed in the exact order from 7 to 1
I feel like the guys that put this video together just googled top 10 thrash bands and added clips.
Of what I‘ve listened to so far:
1 Slayer
1 Megadeth
3 Exodus
4 Anthrax
...
Metallica
Kreator
Metallica has absolutely no place in the top 3 because they stopped being good and thrash after 91 and that‘s already 27 years ago. Plus they never had a decent thrash drummer and they stopped nailing it live on a regular basis a good long time ago. Hetfield, 80s Hammitt and Cliff Burton are not enough reasons to be up there.
Technically best lineup is the classic Megadeth, the most constant thrash band is Slayer.
Wow another Metallica hater here. Remember that Megadeth was changing their lineup more through years than Metallica. And don't you remember album Risk from 1999? That's not Thrash either. Metallica is still best and always was. So they deserve number one
Oooooooppppppppiiiiiiiinnnnnniiiiiiiiooooooonnnnnnnn.
@@heavymetalmadness2036 Risk is like taking a Taylor Swift album and putting a little distortion on it. In my opinion neither Megadeth nor Metallica deserve a spot in the Big 4, because of the shit they did after Rust in Peace and Justice. Slayer had only one album with punk covers and all the others were pure Thrash (I'm not saying they were good, but they were Thrash) and Anthrax have always been Thrash Metal (although a little lighter and more Melodic then other bands). So the Big 4 for me would be
Slayer
Anthrax
Exodus
Overkill
That's my opinion on that matter, you can freely disagree and express your opinion 😄
@@SLAYER.APO.VOLO. You mean endgame and dystopia? These two albums are killer.
Whats up with Kreator??
Megadeth should've been #1, they've got the best riffs by far and their solos are harmonic and technical
harmonic and technical isn't the point of thrash metal though - however they do absolutely shake the house down and could have been #2 maybe just for peace sells and Rust. Rust in Peace in my opinion is one of if not the greatest metal album ever released, and definitely hammers them a place near the top of the list
Megadeth is overrated af and i'm so glad they didn't get 2nd place, Slayer deserved that more than them
@@xraygamer9895 Slayer is too generic sounding to be the #2 thrash band in my opinion. Thrash isn't about profound musicianship, but Slayer songs are barely distinct from one another, and so basic musically or lyrically speaking. Not to mention the dire solos.
Megadeth are not overrated; they're a fantastic blend of killer riffs, advanced but catchy solos and iconic well written vocals. Again, not pure thrash but legendary and certainly not overrated. Just opinions at the end of the day, but I really do think the music backs them up.
@@xraygamer9895Overrated?? How?
You can immediately see the review was done by a Metallici fan. And he doesn't fumble around in trash metal, he just listed the most popular bands
I saw all of them live. 😁
Here's a list from a real thrash fan:
10. Metallica
9.Anthrax
8.Sodom
7.Testament
6. Kreator
5.Nuclear Assault
4.Overkill
3.Exodus
2.Megadeth
1.Slayer.
i like all of those in the list except for megadeth
Not bad. But still lots of better bands IMHO
do you know the name of the songs by overkill and Sodom?
ill put somewhere in the top 4 , that band is way more artsy.
+B3nben Sharma Overkill - Necroshine and Sodom - The Vice of Killing
Really, Death Angel? They wish they could be as great as Sepultura once was. How about Dark Angel, Coroner, or Destruction instead?
+Alexander Adrian Vargas Agreed!
Destruction and dark angel both. Fuck off with testament and death angel. Destruction and dark fuckin angel were bigger influnaces . Testament and death angel just followed what exodus and Metallica did
Destruction is the definiton of mediocre
I definitely agree with Coroner being on the list.
Sepeltura and Destruction probably over Death Angel (even tho I like DA more, those others just sort of rank higher IMO).
Only I cant stop headbanging?
3:55- *James dabs*
slayer is better than Metallica
+igotlobsterhands in the same time, any not boring comment is better than yours.
+igotlobsterhands To each their own I guess. I guess if you like 'shouting' instead of singing, Slayer might be better. At least the other 3 groups of the 'big 4' have some melody in their songs.
Dark Angel is better than Slayer. Metallica started it and Slayer and all others were influenced by Metallica. It's all a chain effect.
+igotlobsterhands And Megadeth is better than Slayer and Metallica...
*****
How do you get that? Mayhem, Celtic Frost, Bathory, and Venom influenced death metal.
This would be a awesome tour
Just came across a band called Rusted Brain and their latest record Deceiver and it's outstanding!
Death Angel is extremely underrated...
Xentrix, Annihilator, Heathen, DRI, MOD, Suicidal Angels, Suicidal Tendencies, just a few honorable mentions
Slayer's just got something in them... that sound. So evil, and heavy, the sound of controlled chaos. Like a Sorcerer or Warlock, who wields the powers of chaos creating unending destruction.
Btw how do you copy these vocals? I can do pretty punky Sepultura style thrash vocals, but I struggle to do the high screams like Tom Araya or the dude from Death Angel. I managed to do a falsetto scream if I really push it, Rob Halford Style, but that takes loads of effort and strain, and I probably wouldn't be able to upkeep that style for the entirety of a song, especially whilst playing guitar. The strange part is that I'm apparently a falsetto for my vocal range...
Legit was so pumped to watch exodus death angel and testament on the bay strikes back tour
1)Megadeth
2)Venom
3)Exodus
4)Testament
5)Overkill
6)Sodom
7)Kreator
8)Death Angel
9)Nuclear Assault
10)Destruction
O this is interesting, nice opinion
I agree. Metallica is up there only due to being mainstream easy metal listening.
1 ° is slayer
best genre. change my mind
1.slayer should be no.1
2.wheres annihilator
I was hoping to see annihilator.
Ye fuck loudwire
No Razor or Nuclear Assault? Bleh. Metallica is more than just (and often not) Thrash and they only kickstarted the scene. The genre was pioneered before them and mastered by others.
Well neither is megadeth, slayer, anthrax, or anyother band on this list. Metalica was just always the best and can take risks and still be called thrash.
Nuclear is in Top 10 Crossover Bands
Nuclear is cross over
Do you think Tallica are not thrash anymore?
Fun fact: Cliff burton was the original bassist for exodus
I don't believe you
Where is annihilator?
