Hell yeah. If thrash is trash, then call me a raccoon!
That has got to be the greatest analogy I’ve ever seen. Also same.
Cool, raccoon
trash panda
call me a Hobo then
Sounds like a megadeth album
bassists: "they have to use a pick 😢"
*immediately cuts to cliff burton*
And Frank Bello 😁
I dashed to the comments to point this out to find out I am the 103rd person to notice
early tom araya used his fingers
Also, Steve DiGiorgio in Sadus. He doesn't even need frets, let alone a pick!
as a bassist, i'm 99% sure it was a joke poking fun at the people who claim david ellefson was incapable of playing megadeth without a pick lol, yeah no he's a professional grammy award winning bassist he probably can play fingered as well
Our boy just straight up murdered lars
beating a dead horse at this point
@@j.2512Who, Lars?😅
He’s already dead.
He aint that bad.. come on
Naw, just gently told stuff about him and that "band".
I fully support it, though.
cant wait, i love thrash. its such a stupidly fun genre. also, would you ever consider doing an ignorant guide to grindcore?
edit: what does do it mean i dont understand
Do it.
Do it
Do it
Do it
Do it!!!
the editing on this channel is unhinged I love it
Slayer does have a bit of crossover with Metallica and Megadeth. Besides Kerry King briefly joining Megadeth, some of the band's style was influenced from watching Metallica perform with Mustaine live. All 3 bands also started in California, which makes Anthrax stand out a bit as they started off in New York.
Not just California, but Southern California. Specifically Los Angeles. Slayer and Metallica formed in Huntington Park and Downey, respectively, which are nearby cities in Southeast LA.
Fun fact, Kill Em All was actually recorded in New York. Anthrax and Metallica kinda started in the same place. They shared a building where they would jam and write.
@metalben005 Yeah Jon Zazula of Megaforce Records, which is a New York label, wanted to record their first album so Metallica drove a U-Haul from California to New York to do it. It was supposed to be recorded in Los Angeles on Metal Blade but Brian Slagel didn't have the bread so they went with Megaforce instead. Kill Em All was already written before they left. They lived at various peoples places and Anthrax let them stay in their rehearsal space while they were there. They didn't know each other before then.
Metallica had 2 demos and a song on the first Metal Massacre comp, had played dozens of shows, and had already opened for Saxon long before Kill Em All.
They're not even close to starting in the same place. Metallica is Southern California and Anthrax is New York. The only commonality in the early days was Megaforce.

Loll I love how random this is
Venom is a personal favourite after I watched a documentary that described them as not being able to play particularly well, so they played fast.
They're the progenitors of black metal and death metal so I'll always adore them. Godspeed, you perfectly cheesy metal legends.
I literally said out loud "you just described almost every genre of metal" when you described thrash
Still bums me out how Diamond Head rarely ever gets mentioned in terms of metal history, given the influence it had on early Metallica.
Wait till you hear about Sadus playing blastbeats at mid 80s but everyone quotes death and possessed for being the first ( they are but not alone )
You can hear their influence on Slayers debut too
It’s a shame how overlooked Testament is
One of the most under rated bands.Last saw them in Orlando 15 years ago at the monsters of thrash show with Slayer,Megadeth and Anthrax.
every other line is a diss against lars and im here for it
Im slightly ashamed in myself for being able to recognise mc ride for the 1 second he managed to appear in this video. On a side note, as a child of the late 90s who grew up on thrash, this was a great episode
props for mentioning znowhite! they're so underrated and one of my favorites, along with detente and meanstreak
“Slayer were unwilling to compromise, staying true to themselves” is a really polite way of saying they’ve been putting out the same album for 40 years
😂
It's a pretty good album every time.
Fuck yeah 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Hell of a lot better then putting out straight dookie albums like Metallica
I’ve been loving the ignorant guide vids you should definitely do a ignorant guide to groove metal
Who else but Pantera would he mention??? I guess Lamb of God
groove metal is thrash but 100000000000x more aggressive and angrier
@@Blaze_1221 You probably made an Exhorder fan rage with that comment and you don't even know it lol
@@omegaXXIV lol idk who ur talking about 🤣
@@Blaze_1221 "Pantera copied Exhorder"
anthrax are honestly my favourite of the big 4, i love the goofiness compared to the other bands its really fun and refreshing, and scott ians riffs are amazing
Sickest riffs in the business
Anthrax shouldn't be in big 4
@@kudaty1808 You do understand that the Big Four is literally only defined by popularity, right? In terms of records sold, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax are the most popular thrash bands, in that order. That's the only criteria. That's where the name originates and that's still what it means. Unless another thrash band shows up and becomes more popular than one of those, which is very unlikely, the Big Four is pretty much set in stone.
@@smeariestline59 Exactly. Anthrax is great and gets far too much hate.
Charlie Benante is a freak of nature who drums like a machine and ages like one too
A video on industrial music would be badass
My guy talked nearly ten minutes without mentioning Exodus or Testament…
nor Sodom
it really is an ignorant guide to thrash metal
Pov: *hE dIdNt mEnTiOn mY fAvOrItE bAnD
@@Ner0mancer Exodus is literally where kirk hammett came from. Exodus isn't some niche thing it was one of the bands that was there at the beginning of it all
Yeah really the most important bands to the development of thrash were Metallica, Exodus and Slayer. You could add Anthrax too as they were east coast. They were all there at the start, especially Metallica and Exodus. All the later thrash and early death metal bands (Possessed/Death) talk about both or one of these bands as a major influence
My main man knowing znowhite. Nobody knows them but they’re god tier and made one of the most brutal thrash albums of all time. Cyclone temple was good but it wasn’t znowhite. I own everything from the Chicago gods. Another underrated band from Chicago is sindrome.
Cyclone Temple's debut is still one of the better thrash albums that no one knows about.
The album cover art in the thumbnail😂🍻🍻🍻
Man new to the channel and I fucking love it. These are amazing and keep my hairy brain soothed. Do hardcore please.
greeting from Indonesia ruclips.net/video/THNwBUe6PqI/видео.html
Skull Fist and Enforcer are pretty awesome examples of the newest wave of thrash if anyone is getting tired of the big four.
word! just got into these guys, really cool bands
Power trip was great RIP Riley gale
Not to be that guy but they're not thrash man, just classic heavy metal.
Thank you for the wild editing, felt like a shitpost but informative, amazing work
I'm really exited for the Death/Deathcore video, i would love you describing my favorite genre
These videos are so good, some of my favorite content on RUclips rn
love these videos, would like to see an ignorant guide to idm or post-rock next!
I love Artillery! underrated band
greeting. ruclips.net/video/THNwBUe6PqI/видео.html
i honestly have been waiting for this one!!!
i love this guys editing lmao random ass clips but not just random, actually funny ass clips
I think the big 4 perfectly represent Thrash
Metallica - Once on top, but fell off
Megadeth - The story of revenge
Slayer - Stayed true to themselves and didn't change for anyone
Anthrax - Thought everyone was too serious so they joked around, and also created an entire subgenre, Nu-Metal (so they basically popularised metal as a whole)
"Slayer - Stayed true to themselves and didn't change for anyone"
@@galvatron3214 I guess they implemented an influence of punk into their music, but I wouldn't say they went full punk
@@clvtch444 The Slayer songs i heard in the 90s had pretty much no trace of thrash in them at all. If i remember, they did a song called I Hate You, which sounded unthrashy punk.
Anthrax was by far the most important metal band in the 80s crossover thing. They literally infiltrated the NY Hardcore punk scene and built a bridge. Then they did the same thing a few years later with Rap.
I Hate You by Slayer is a cover song on a cover album.
A video about one of my favourite music genres? In one of my favourite editing styles!?! You’ve gained a subscriber my man
Isn't thrash metal basically just combine 80's punk and metal?
Yes
Yeah ❤
pretty much
Thanks for including Znöwhite!!! Incredible band
Can't wait to hear your take on Stoner Metal
There's a doom metal video...
@@radvileb1719 true: sludge, stoner, and doom metal are all mostly one in and the same other than the vocal delivery and some themes
@@i-never-look-at-replies-lolsludge is heavier and more thrash-like than doom and stoner is more psychedelic but apart from that you're entirely correct
@@radvileb1719 yea I know, yet Coolea teased that he'll release a full video on Stoner
Been waiting for this one!
I was first introduced to Anthrax like many others by Tony hawk pro skater 2. Didn’t really know about metal much before but I fell in love with it simply because of the small riff and drums from the beginning of the somg
As a lifelong diehard Metallica fanboy, I take all these insults toward the band as personal attacks against me. As is the custom among most metal fans. I will now go off to compose a 1000 word screed in response and will update this comment upon completion 😂
it's been 4 days and you're still at it...
@@anthraxboi Dedicated to the craft
5 now
9 days lmao. Bro is peer-reviewing the response.
3 weeks in and he still hasn’t posted it. At this point I’m expecting an Magnum Opus on the level of Goethe
the clip of varg on the pink scooter was a mental flashbang
LETTS GOOOO I'VE BEEN WAITING!!!!
Would love to see you make a guide on hardcore punk
Thrash just makes my heart happy and my drinking sloppy
dude my eng is not my native and i stuggle though every word on this turbo sonic speed but it always worth it cuz its pure gold, thank you 0/
Probably the best yt vid I’ve seen all year
Tbf I didn't care about Anthrax but my fiance really likes them. He got me into their music. Now they're the most interesting out of the Big Four for me.
Awesome video! You should do one on Groove Metal!
I LOVE YOU NEVER STOP UPLOADING
The frank Bello disrespect with the pick joke 🤣
nice to see someone acknowledging znowhite , I was recently very lucky to find the all hail to thee record in a store for cheap
I'm a punk at heart so I prefer the crossover thrash stuff and then I would consider Thrash metal me favourite Metal genre over all Ach strangely Judas priest are the best metal band if ya ask me.
I prefer Anthrax over the US Big 4. I appreciate their less serious tone and musical as variety.
Anthrax is in the Big Four. AND THEY R MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!! I love their punk and hardcore influence :)
Anthrax is part of the US Big Four tho haha
Judas priest is so fucken tacky..... The favorite of Midwest white dudes in their midlife crisis....... Metallica's first four albums along with Megadeths Rust in peace are the best in the genre......... If it wasn't for Cliff Burton and Dave the genre would be nothing....... The genre would have died with Diamond Heads short career .......
Check out D.R.I. , S.O.D. (some members of anthrax), Cryptic Slaughter and Excel if you like the punk/thrash. Nuclear Assault too.
that gif with varg on a pink scooter is just legendary
Thanks for the refresh. Great times.
As a Brazilian, i love that in 8:39 he doesnt even try to say Ratos de Porão hahahaha. Love your videos man
Not bad. Good combination of dry British humor and historical accuracy. Had Voivod been mentioned this may have been perfect.
The secret thrash band turned amazing prog band
this editing style is amazing and is the only thing keeping my adhd ass from clicking off the video because of the monotone and quiet commentary.
SLAYER ON TOP
Good job! I loved it
Venom, Motörhead, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer
Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Tankard, Overkill, Exodus, SOD, MOD, DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, Municipal Waste, Havok, Nuclear Assault,
This is the most batshit crazy editing I've ever seen in a RUclips vídeo.
Jesus I'm a minute and forty seconds into the video and I am being overwhelmed with everything going on. I love it.
LOL another great video mate!
underrated channel af
Calm voice but random FUNNY!!!!1!1!1!!! videos in the background to satisfy attention span of a gremlin addicted to short form content. Love it.
Man's literally giving guides to my favourite genres at this point 😭
Ah yes, the genre you either grow out of at 17 or become that one insufferable guy in the battle vest at every local show
i’m getting into thrash at 19 and i think i deserve to be put down like a dog
Well I just turned 18 and I still love thrash so I think I’m the latter
I'll be 18 soon so Thrash lifelong camp it is.
@@AcidifiedMammoth Prepare to go to either Death or Black metal, or both, in the foreseeable future
I was 17 in 1990 and never owned a vest. But I still love me some thrash. And I can be insufferable. Hmm.
@coolea will you cover tech death grind or death grind like Cattle Decapitation?
i love the zoomer friendly editing
Yo gotta do one of these for metalcore!
Fun fact: early Def Leppard was an influence on a number of American thrash bands.
7:43 I'm gonna be honest, I knew little to nothing about Anthrax and didn't really have much interest in them... then earlier this year I saw them live because they were co-headlining with Black Label Society, and they blew me away.
Among The Living and Worship music quickly became albums I obsessed over, lol
I saw them a few years back and holy shit how do they still have all that energy
can you please do an ignorant guide on hardcore love the videos man
I mostly listen to video game music, but metallica actually kinda goes hard, imo. i liked a lot of No Remorse and Master of Puppets :)
thank you for recognizing Void. in my opinion they could've been the best DC punk band if they had stuck around
while its not in the usual wheelhouse id love to see a video on mathcore or sasscore. much luv
"Or they're just speaking french" LMFAOO
Wow, this is actually an excellent video
The editing in this video is high tier
Best explination of this out there except the exclusion of its influence on death metal
Wait, what part of master of puppets was written by mustaine? I know in RTL the tittle track, call of cthulu, and some others had some of his stuff, but MOP?
An overlooked band in early thrash is Suiciadal Tendencies.
They were of the crossover type of thrash where the hardcore punk got mixed with thrash
great vid, would you consider doing goth music?
Glad Void got mentioned in this🔥🔥🔥
I liked this. You should do one on death metal
Thanks coolea!
as a woman and fellow metal enthusiast, this video was quite humorous. To the point where I had to pause It because I wasn't able to hold my laughter In while drinking a big jug of water. Thank you for making me laugh while I was about to sob and shiver.
As a lover of psychedelics, I don't care who you are.
@@sirsancti5504 alright bro
I love the Lars slander through the video
Hey coolea where is that bike video from?
Finally someone says it. Mustaine wrote all the riffs Metallica got big on.
Basically verifiably true, if you have even a remote semblance of a musical ear.
Even after he got kicked, you can plainly and painfully hear a TON of "Mustaine" riffs in RTL and MoP
The only thing they did properly was credit him for songwriting, which meant he would get a check from time to time from Metallica that would let him pay the Megadeth guys. So while it was a shit move on Metallica's part, he at least got paid. And for those of us that would read the album notes cover to cover repeatedly, it piqued interest about who is this Mustaine guy? And then you would find out he was in a new band, cool have to check that out.
I guess he just blew his creative load in those first few years, which is why his revolving-door troupe of musicians was never able to outshine his old band 🤡
"finally"? IS this ur first day on the internet?
@@mallninja9805outshine? They are better than Metallica.
BABE WAKE UP, NEW COOLEA DROP
Whats that song playing at the end?
2:22 love Hammerhedd, saw them live last August
Extra points for the Lars jokes. Subbed
I fucking love this chanell 🖤🤘 if for nothing else, im here for the lars jokes
RIP cliff
#shouldhavebeenlars #switchmeseatsbro
Lol love the edits
Poor Lars, not only does his drumming suck, he also gets dunked about
To anyone whos into hardcore and hasnt heard of slayers album undisputed attitude i reckon give it a listen trust me
Yes. Never mentioned in most posts I see about them (maybe because it's mostly a cover album), but the best fusion of metal and punk I've heard.
fun fact: Stone Cold Crazy it's considered the first thrash metal song! metallica even covered it in garage inc.
Where and how do you find all those memes 😂😂
Anthrax was from NY, which is why they were more familiar with the hip hop scene, as they all played the same clubs. They were also the least serious of the Big 4, so mixing genres was no big deal to them and their fans.
i wasn't expecting ratos de porão to get mentioned. that was cool asf. great video dude
Basically, thrash metal is just technical hardcore punk
With long hair.
