Speed metal = fast + Melodic Thrash metal = very fast + Aggresive Speed band - Agent Steel, Exciter, Accept, Motorhead, Venom Thrash band - Metallica, Exodus, Sepultura, Overkill, Testament, Slayer.
Speed metal is not a sub-genre of metal, but rather it is the third section of metal in contrast to hard metal, represented by bands such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and accept Heavy metal is represented by doom bands such as Black Sabbath, Candlemas, and ahab. Speed metal includes thrash, power, death, and black metal
Speed metal is just faster Heavy Metal, while thrash is either one with hardcore punk and progressive influences. I love how you hinted at the heavy metal base of speed metal by shifting the tempos
@@mr.echo24 yes indeed they sound technical because he chose to present it like that. But thrash in the beginning of the genre, had nothing to do with high advanced playing. On the contrary, some bands were primitive as fuck. Example given, Sodom, Bathory, Hellhammer. I repeat that i am talking about the beginning of the genre and not about how it evolved...
Yeah the riffs are nice and all but the main reason I wach your videos is THAT KELLY is gorgeous idk why but the shape seems the most apropiate for most metal riffs
only thing you missed on thrash metal is the punk style drumbeat from 4:4 time to halftime which usually triggers mosh pits. These are heard all throughout bands like Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, Overkill, Sepultura and European bands like Kreator

I love your content dude. Perfection!Do you have Slayer style thrash metal riff videos? The riffs that are not so melodic if you know what I mean. Disharmonic thrash riffs.
I'm undecided... You have shown us some great examples! I see a lot of your own style in those riffs and solos, influences from Chuck and other death bands.
Like with everyone in the new generation, as the thrash elements become more complex and pick up velocity, they suddenly shift subgenres into 1990s melodic death. Excellent video!
IF ever heard this back in the late 80's and 90's, would have come home late that night with bruises and sore as hell from MOSHING all night! Serious licks and riffs!

WOW.........what an amazing axe man, totally blown away. Point made and what an excellent way of proving it. Ultimate respect to the man who played in this video. You Are The Man........hope your career exceeds this demonstration. RESPECT GOOD SIR.
I have never been really able to tell the difference between speed and trash, and it doesn't really change after this video unfortunately...But I don't really give a shit, it was a good 6 minutes of solid riffs to wake me up, thanks !
@@HeavyRaiden Thanks ! To be fair, it doesn't help me much either but I appreciate the effort to try and educate my sorry ass ! It is just hard for me to distinguish from "hey! that's Anthrax / Kreator / CoB / [insert a band] style" to "that's Black / Death / Death mélo / [insert one of the gazillions metal subgenre] " style. I can easily recognize a band by the way they play, but I couldn't categorize it in any style of metal if my life depended on it. It doesn't bother me much though, as it doesn't spoil any of the pleasure I get from listening (and I still can feel the easter eggs in Leonard's riff).
Well that's not surprising as the "speed metal" riffs here could barely qualify as speed metal. Speed metal - think Exciter first and foremost always. Abbattoir first album and many more. As far as the riff guitar goes, in speed metal the right hand is picking mainly continuously fast and the left hand is just cruising around at a moderate pace playing something fairly melodic. In thrash the right hand is picking fast with starts, stops, jumps and the left hand is well thrashing around playing all kinds of notes that are rhythmic but not particularly melodic. It's easy to tell which is which when you are actually playing it on a guitar or watching someone play it on a guitar. All you need to play speed metal ( riffs not leads) is a fast right hand, but with thrash metal riffs you need both hands to be fast and your brain needs to be geared to rapid starts stops and jumps. Lots of songs are a mix of the two. Power metal is like both but fancier sounding and it sounds real impressive for a song or two, but it gets boring after a short while because it's all the same thing over and over.
Both such influencal genres in metal. For thrash there are strong genres such as death metal and black metal that were influenced by thrash. But for speed metal there are other great genres that take inspiration from speed metal, like power metal, and a decent amount of Gothic metal. It can be so cool when these genres merge, and you definitely hear how they came from the same place yet they're so different!
@@LeonardoLux96 ah, I see. It's sad but I'd appreciate if you made tabs for your riffs and publish them in the future because I want to learn riffs with faster rythms too and yours are banging as hell (i guess probably the huge influence of Chuck and many trash, power metal bands too)! Keep up the good work and I wish you good luck for your guitarist career!
I love this, im such a huge thrash lover for sure, would be cool if you had a tab but I need to practice my ear training anyway , but this is just awesome. Cheers bro.
Very clear. Thank you for these examples. I get it now. Speed drives straight ahead, thrash interposes riffs or moves from one riff section to another - kinda? right?
Well, I guess we can call Speed Metal as Melodic Thrash Metal 'cause Speed really sound like a more melodic form of Thrash with lesser influence of Hardcore Punk.
What type of jackson are you using?, and also alot of the speed metal riffs sound like death riffs which is sick. In my opinion speed and thrash arw roughly the same to some degree. Slayers show no mercy sounded more like speed metal record while Metallica sounded like punk with speed metal on kill em all which is the first thrash record.
Speed metal = fast + Melodic
Thrash metal = very fast + Aggresive
Speed band - Agent Steel, Exciter, Accept, Motorhead, Venom
Thrash band - Metallica, Exodus, Sepultura, Overkill, Testament, Slayer.

Speed metal: Usually in the key of A or higher, more melodical in general
Thrash metal: Usually in the key of E, more focus on the groove
I’d say speed metal is more melodic, more uplifting And thrash metal is, ironically, more based on speed.
I can hear a lot of Testament + Megadeth in the thrash riffs, and Racer X in the speed riffs. Killed it my man!!
I hear TONS of Testament in the thrash riffs. Speed Metal sounds a lot like Judas Priest.
Yeah, 2:03 could sound like Mustaine's spider chords once you add in the fifth notes.
Racer X is just Heavy Metal! 🤷🏻♂️
Speed metal is just faster Heavy Metal, while thrash is either one with hardcore punk and progressive influences. I love how you hinted at the heavy metal base of speed metal by shifting the tempos
Spot on
Which of the bands that are considered as pioneers of thrash metal, had progressive influences?
@@alexzoris7216 I just meant the riffs sound a lo more technical
@@alexzoris7216 but Megadeth perhaps?

Speed!!!!
Damn feels like I’m in my teenage years again, thank you sir
I think you should do uplifting/dark riffs next.
Like NWOBHM/Power Metal for the uplifting ones, and Black/Death for the dark ones.
Yeah the riffs are nice and all but the main reason I wach your videos is THAT KELLY is gorgeous idk why but the shape seems the most apropiate for most metal riffs
I don't like Kelly's but his and Brandon elis's are awesome
Around the 4 minutes, is like the best part
only thing you missed on thrash metal is the punk style drumbeat from 4:4 time to halftime which usually triggers mosh pits. These are heard all throughout bands like Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, Overkill, Sepultura and European bands like Kreator
The speed rifts are more catchy and the thrash rifts are more heavy both sound really good
Im am following your RUclips since you started! Biggest fan here
Thank you man! You kick ass 🤘🤘
@@LeonardoLux96 I HAVE ALWAYS HOPED AT AN REACTION FROM YOU! THANKS DUDE 🤣🤣🤣
I`m quite addicted to speed metal type of riffing
Speed Metal is most certainly the direct ancestor or prototype of Thrash Metal.

Speed kills and thrash bleeds ..sick riffin mate 🤘🇭🇲🤘🇭🇲
Speed vs thrash metal? Just play early Destruction and both sides are happy :D
Or Ride The Lightning 😁
@@goranilincic2644 Fair fair.

5:08 This sounds like something from the Ninja Gaiden NES trilogy haha
_gotta go fast_
TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Man, i love your riffs. Can you put these speed metal riffs into a song pls? Especially the 5th one
Beautifully done
Babe wake tf up, Lux just posted
Супер гитарист! Всегда с удовольствием смотрю его видео.
Incredible stuff as always 🤘Love both Speed and Thrash metal
Long time no see you, Lux!
Your riffs, tasty as always🙏🙏
you have one of the best right hand on youtube
Yeah that strumming is INSANE
Coming as no surprise to anyone, THIS GUY gets it.
4:14 is the go off part. ❤🤟❤
the riff at 2 minutes sounds like an anime fight. good brilliant riff!
0:22 great riff! 🤘 Sounds like some early Kreator one's
Kreator - Living in fear moment
Bathory

Make more of riff videos
Sick thrash riffs man
Edit: you give me some chuck vibes lmao
Speed is just old thrash but still awesome video

Try some 80s/90s Texas metal if you really want to get confused. Like Helstar, Agony Column and Galactic Cowboys.

Very clean playback
Early HELLOWEEN stuff - classic speed power metal
Riff at 2:38 is sick
I think you should include power metal because speed metal, power metal and thrash metal are almost the same style in terms of guitar riffs.
Great content
Epic! Could you give me the tabs of all the riffs you made, please? I want to practice them at my guitar!
Sorry man. I don't have tabs. I only record the riffs I make. Maybe I'll make them in the future, but it's not on my plans at the moment.
@@LeonardoLux96 ah, I see. It's sad but I'd appreciate if you made tabs for your riffs and publish them in the future because I want to learn riffs with faster rythms too and yours are banging as hell (i guess probably the huge influence of Chuck and many trash, power metal bands too)!
Keep up the good work and I wish you good luck for your guitarist career!
what about slowing down the speed of the video? and using your ears and eyes? it takes time but in the long run is better.
Awesome riffs! These are great enough to be in killer songs.
Wow! Insane playing, insane riffs! Made my day!
you have made me fall in love with the explorer guitar style. also in love with your channel, your videos are awesome. keep making 'em man.
Even might Papa Het would fail the speed parts with his downpicking ;)
Класс
when I think speed metal, the first album that comes to mind is Whiplash's Insult To Injury
#4 has some SLAYER influence
Bravo Master 🤩 Nr. 1 !!!
I love this, im such a huge thrash lover for sure, would be cool if you had a tab but I need to practice my ear training anyway , but this is just awesome. Cheers bro.
That's sum maghty fine pickin' an grinin' ya'all got goin' on there.....YE HAW!!
Bro, you are the best as always 🤘
Thanks for +1 great video!
Perfect!❤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome playing! 🚀🚀
Great sounds, the channel is a great inspiration. Let's go guitarists. Without no doubt I have to vote for trash :))
great!!
Nice dude
Звук просто огонь! Сводить умеешь, техника на высоком уровне, только один вопрос: почему не хочешь свой альбом записать?
3:22 my favorite one
I love this so much!!! Leonardo, I wish you'd record an album because this rules
Excellent skills... can you explain speed metal vs power metal?
you should do the same thing with bass so we can see how each generes bass sounds against each other
🤘😈🤘
Very clear. Thank you for these examples. I get it now. Speed drives straight ahead, thrash interposes riffs or moves from one riff section to another - kinda? right?
Very cool! 😱🤘🎸🔥🔥🔥👍
Esse é um espetáculo fantástico
Que pena no haya muchas bandas buenas de speed metal, hay muy pocas
Well, I guess we can call Speed Metal as Melodic Thrash Metal 'cause Speed really sound like a more melodic form of Thrash with lesser influence of Hardcore Punk.
Da pra ver que ele tem o thrash metal na ponta do dedo👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Вот ребята отработали на 999 баллов
Супер герои!
Amazing!
I love speed/thrash metal)))
Angel dusts first 2 albums are speed metal classics
speed+classical=power
speed+punk=thrash
Do you like the band Seax? That 2nd speed metal riff made me think of them
What type of jackson are you using?, and also alot of the speed metal riffs sound like death riffs which is sick. In my opinion speed and thrash arw roughly the same to some degree. Slayers show no mercy sounded more like speed metal record while Metallica sounded like punk with speed metal on kill em all which is the first thrash record.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the true Metal 💀🤙🏻
Thrash metal just sounds so much more sick. No other way to put it
Thrash #6 is 🤯
Супер!
CHRIST🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is Blind Guardians first albums speed metal or thrash metal?
As far as I know blind guardian is power metal
@@MundodasGuitarras They are but their first 2 albums sound like speed and thrash
Speed is kind of a bit heavier and less melodic version of power...
Speed metal.....for sure!
For me batallions of fear is speed metal and follow the blind is 50/50
Fucking hell bro you've just unite USA and Germany 🔥🤘
So Speed is granddaddy of Death Metal isn’t?
Right hand - machine gun
Left hand - sniper rifle
What song is that at 0:25
1:54 it's more like death metal.
Is Thrash, closest to slayer
I completely agree! it's death!
🔥🔥🔥😍
5:06 qual o nome dessa musica?
